Detailed information

The SiloDrill Alu is very robust and offers the highest build quality at an attractive price. This makes the SiloDrill an economical solution for projects with a limited budget or for use in less aggressive environments.

The aluminium SiloDrill is lighter than the stainless steel SiloDrill, making it easier to handle and transport.

The SiloDrill is a sampler specially developed for taking samples of bulk materials from silos or tanks.
When bulk materials are transported over long distances, vibration and movement during transport can cause segregation of material layers, making representative sampling difficult.

The SiloDrill takes an all-layer sample through multiple layers of bulk material so that the quality, composition or other relevant properties of the entire stored material can be analysed.

The SiloDrill fits through openings from 90mm diameter, making it very versatile. A special mechanism makes it easy to open and close the sampling chamber by turning the robust T-handle. The spring-loaded inner tube minimises the risk of jamming coarse grains. The drilling paddles and scraping edge also allow sampling of caked and non-flowing bulk materials.

Typical application area of the product

The SiloDrill is used to check the quality and homogeneity of bulk materials, to detect contamination or spoilage in stored materials at an early stage, to take samples for further analysis required to meet legal requirements or industry standards, e.g. in agriculture to sample grain, seed, fertiliser or animal feed, in the food industry to sample powdered and granulated foods from storage silos, in the chemical industry to take chemical samples from industrial silos.

How to use the product
  1. Attach the handle to the rod.
  2. Place the collection chamber on the rod and secure it with the safety clip.
  3. Using the handle, drill the sampler clockwise into the medium to be sampled to the desired depth (sample chamber is closed).
  4. At the desired depth, turn the sampler anti-clockwise (sample chamber opens).
  5. The sample chamber is filled after approx. five turns.
  6. Turn the sampler clockwise for approx. two turns (sample chamber is closed).
  7. Pull the sampler by the handle out of the medium to be sampled.
  8. Remove the safety clip and remove the collection chamber.
  9. Empty the sample into a suitable collecting vessel.
