Sampler for the pharmaceutical industry PAS

for powders

GEA powder samplers have been designed to complement the powder filling systems we supply. Our auger sampler can take representative powder samples at the point where the powder enters the bag even when packing in inert atmosphere conditions. The powder sampling system is a fully integrated solution which is controlled via the bag filler operator control system. User inputs for sample time and frequency allow the operator to set up the sampler to take composite or spot samples to suit the quality control procedures of the plant. The sampler can be configured to operate in free-flowing or in embedded powder streams thereby allowing flexibility in location. Twin Diverter GEA Avapac Twin DivertA twin diverter system enables the sampling system to automatically switch between a full and an empty bag — or to switch between two different sample types if required. A simple locking collar provides a safe and convenient method to attach polyethylene sample bags. Optionally, a screw-type adaptor socket can be provided to enable sample bottles or jars to be used. Multi-Station Diverter GEA Avapac 6 Way Diverter Station A six head diverter system enables the sampling system to automatically switch between a full and an empty bag — or to switch between any of the six sampling positions if required. The multi-station diverter can be used to reduce the frequency of operator intervention and thereby increase the time available to the operator to perform other tasks. Alternatively, the multi-station diverter can be used to increase the number of samples as required by the quality control procedures. If required, manual intervention is also possible via the operator control panel.
