Sampling Installation for a Recycling Company
This custom LAARMANN sampling installation is designed for recycling companies that need to take a representative sample from a large material stream while simultaneously filling big bags for later processing. The system is built as a multi-ton installation and provides a controlled, repeatable workflow for handling large volumes of incoming material.
Material is first loaded into a large bunker by bulldozer. From there, a bucket elevator transports the material to a vibratory feeder, which creates an even and controlled flow into the LAARMANN Vezin Sampler 200. The Vezin sampler takes a representative subsample from the main material stream, with the sampling rate set according to the required process parameters.
The collected sample can be sent directly to a sample box or stored in a second bunker for an additional round of sampling. The reject material is discharged into either the left or right big-bag filling station. When one station is full, the material stream is automatically redirected to the other station so the process can continue efficiently.
This integrated setup helps recycling operations improve sample representativeness, reduce manual handling and maintain a continuous bulk material flow during filling and downstream processing.
The sampling installation operates as a continuous bulk handling and sampling process. Incoming material is loaded into the bunker, elevated to the vibratory feeder and then presented to the Vezin Sampler 200 in a steady flow. The sampler extracts a representative portion from the stream, after which the sample is either collected directly or routed to a second bunker for further sampling. At the same time, reject material is directed into one of two big-bag stations, with the flow automatically switched when one bagging station is full. This allows the installation to combine representative sampling with efficient bulk material packing in one integrated system.
