<p>A static sample divider (10) of the present invention is adapted to sample a flow of material such as seed. The sample divider (10) includes a housing (18) which encloses an upwardly facing cone (22) disposed above one or more sample cups (24). The sample cups (24) are coupled to a sample receiving tube (16). When a flow of material is directed toward the cone (22), the cone (22) spreads the flow of material radially and outwardly where a portion is caught by the sample cups (24) and dumped into the sample receiving tube (16). The remainder of the material is discharged through a discharge tube (14). The sample cups (24) can be removed and replaced with different numbers or different sizes of samples cups (24) to control the proportion of material sampled.</p> |
