Bulk Solids Sampling: M&W Samplers – PD
A Rotary Tube Divider is used for dividing samples of bulk materials. The main advantage of mechanical sample dividers is that they extract a part of the material by a large number of increments. If less than about 50 increments are taken by the sample divider, the accuracy may be substantially reduced. A continuous automatic sample division ensures, that the divided sample is still a representative sample.
The dividing tube is rotated by the drive unit. The material enters through the dividing tube and passes through the extractor and discharge cone. The division ratio is infinitely adjustable. Depending upon model size, it is possible to divide materials up to a particle size of ø65 mm.
Dividing ratio = slot opening/(division circumference – slot opening)
