Sample collectors

Protect sample integrity with Essa® dry bulk sample collectors

You rely on a reliable sampling regime to support optimal decision-making, which means a safe and secure sample collector. Our Essa® dry bulk sample collectors guard against contamination and moisture loss, ensuring you have high-quality samples for analysis.

Key benefits of automated laboratories

  • Secure your samples

    Making correct quality control decisions relies on high-quality and representative samples that are free of contamination. Our sample collectors are designed to safely seal your samples, protecting them from unwanted foreign matter and preventing moisture loss.

  • Robust construction

    Our sample collectors are hard-wearing and designed to withstand the harshest possible environments. This helps extend equipment life and guard against failures, keeping maintenance costs down.

  • Easy to inspect and maintain

    The sample collectors are fitted with large access doors and protected with safety switches to allow free access to the sample buckets. Some models even incorporate retractable sliding bucket holders to help avoid operator bending and reaching injuries.
