Auger Sampler Uni-Sampler

Coal Engineering Company supplies Auger Samplers “Uni-Sampler” manufactured by Johnson Industries Inc., the USA and provides the full range service. These samplers are widely used either in the USA or in Eastern Europe. Nine Uni-Samplers are operated in Ukraine: ArceloMittal Kryvyi Rih, Zaporozhstal, DTEK Dneproenergo, at by-product coke plants and a number of power stations. Nine Uni-Samplers have been successfully operated in Russia at Kuzbassenergo power stations: Belovskaya, Kemerovskaya, Tom-Usinskaya as well as at the largest power station in Europe – Reftinskaya, which belongs to Enel OGK-5. The successful experience of Uni-Sampler operation proved its reliability, dependability, representativity of sampling results and working capacity under extremely low temperatures up to -45оС.

 

Brief technical description of Modernized Auger Sampler Uni-Sampler:

- sampling of coal with the particle size 0-200 mm and larger;

- time of one drilling (one sampling) – 30-60 seconds;

- preparing three or more equal laboratory samples of coal with the particle size up to 3 mm from each coal batch;

- sampling of frozen coal, wet coal and its concentrates including dry overground coal;

- can be used 24-hours a day and 12 months a year under the extreme temperatures from -45оС up to + 45оС;

- corresponds to  ASTM standard D 7430-15.

 

Uni-Sampler Advantages:

− no manual labour is used, so no human bias;

− sampling from the whole depth of the vehicle;

− the immidiate information about coal quality before unloading truck or rail car;

−  only 1 or 2 pounds of coal taken from each vehicle;

− shortens the dead time of the carriages;

− frozed and wet coal sampling;

− simple, rugged design;

− only one operator is required;

− low maintenance;

− the primary splitting, crushing and secondary sampling are done within the cone area of the auger assembly;

− reject falls immidiately back into truck or rail car being sampled;

− no conveyor belts or shaker tables are required;

− no carousel is needed;

− the operator does not have to leave the cabin to retrieve samples.

 

According to customer's demand we can supply Uni-sampler either in stationary or mobile variants.
