Sentry Variable Check Automatic Sampler

Part #
VCP

The Sentry Variable Check sampler is a point sampler that traverses a solid product flow stream to capture product and moves the product out of the process by means of a center-less auger, keeping the product intact. A large, customizable aperture in the sampling tube allows accurate sampling from lines that produce product of different sizes or at different flow rates.

The sampler provides repeatable, statistically representative samples for the most demanding quality processes and pathogen testing. Operation and maintenance is made easy through accessible cleaning and repair from one access point in the process line.

Pairing with a Sentry SBC Controller or other PLC based system allows companies to program multiple product samples from process lines. Variables such as product size, aperture opening, auger speed and transverse time can be changed in a recipe format for different product runs.

Benefits

With representative sampling, characteristics of each sample match that of the entire lot or batch - so samples are repeatable, leading to accurate data analysis. Automatic sampling ensures a sample can be easily and safely obtained with no need for direct human interference. This ensures sample integrity and operator safety.
