Description
Aluminum sampling spear (GSS)
Aluminium multilevel probe samplers (code GSS) are used for taking a representative sample of grain, seeds, granular products and bulk materials from the entire depth of the mass.
Commonly used for sampling at ground storage warehouses, grain trucks, and railway cargo.
Our GSS probe samplers are made of high-quality aluminium alloy. An anode cover not only makes aluminium look nice and clean but also protects it from rusting.
In comparison with Stainless Steel samplers, or Brass samplers, aluminium alloy is a much more lightweight material. And if you ask a person who takes samples from 100 cars/trucks per day, they will say that weight of the device means a lot.
The device itself consists of 2 empty aluminium tubes (1mm gap between tubes) with sharp-edged apertures, carved by CNC in a spiral way all over the height. Spiral positioning of the apertures allows to open them one by one when rotating the inner tube, which ensures that the product is filled into the sampler evenly over the entire height.
For the different diameters of the tubes, used different aperture sizes and different numbers of apertures (see chart).
On one end of the device is installed an improved tip, and at the other end of the device, is located a locker for 2 tubes, and a hole for pouring out the product after sampling.

Partition type
As an option, any sampling spear can be made in “Partition Type” (PT). In this case, between sampling holes is fixed a plastic plug. Every sampling aperture becomes an individual compartment. This allows the user to analyze the product from different levels (layers). The possibility to pour out the product from the handle side is cancelled. Pouring out the product should be processed through the sampling holes.
Plastic tip (PT) or Metal tip (MT) attachment
By default, we offer the installation of a plastic tip, which has additional stiffeners for easier insertion. Made of low-pressure polypropylene, they do not lose their physical properties at temperatures from -50 to +50 °C. Within long-term use, the plastic tip wears out (erases) because of hitting the bottom of the car, or the tips are destroyed by users, who throw the sampler as a gladiator throws his spear.
The solution may be to purchase metal tips, which are made of cast aluminium alloy, and also have additional stiffeners for easier insertion, but metal tips will last the entire life of the sampler.
The plastic tip is attached to a sampler with two rivets and can be easily replaced by a customer or by a service centre. The metal tip is attached with glue for aluminium.
