PARALLEL BELT SAMPLER

摘要

Apparatus for sampling material being conveyed on a primary conveyor (1) comprises a diverter (2) arranged to divert material onto a sampling conveyor (4) running alongside the primary conveyor (1) where it can be weighed by a weightometer (5) and elevated to a discharge point (9) before falling into a falling-stream sample cutter (6). Material is then returned to the primary conveyor at (11) by a return conveyor (7). Options include the use of an impact conveyor (3) between the diverter (2) and the sampling conveyor (4), and the configuration of the sampling conveyor with a wider belt running at a slower speed to improve accuracy.
