For lots of bulk material, sampling is a way to inspect the bulk material quality. Coal sampling system, as the words say, it is a kind of sampling equipment to collect the coal samples. Due to the unique character, get the representative sample to represent the entire lot is a feasible and reliable way for pricing.
As material handling equipment, sampling machine belongs to the sampling industry. Sampling machines industry includes kinds of sampling machines like manual samplers, air samplers, and the blood samplers. The mentioned samplers are belonging to the manual samplers, but for the bulk materials, mechanical sampling systems are the recommended sampling equipment.
The mechanical sampling equipment is used to collect primary coal increment and process the coal sample to the customized size. After the sample crushing, sample dividing, and others procedures, you can make some tests for the final coal sample. For example, coal moisture, ash content, heat value and others elements can be tested.
The coal sampling system is a kind of large-scale mechanical machines. How to operate in a right way and how to maintain the mechanical sampling system is an issue for each worker.
Above all, we just introduce a rough guide for the mechanical sampling system. As we know, whatever machines have their service duration. If you have used the coal sampling system for a long time, how to maintain the sampling machines is your concerned question.
TOP SAMPLER as a mechanical sampling system supplier from China, TOP SAMPLER provides mechanical sampling systems like auger sampling systems, cross belt sampling system, sample analytics system, sample preparation systems, and others sampling separate parts. For different material, TOP SAMPLER provides the suitable bulk material sampling systems. Powder material, grain granules, iron ores and the bulk coal material are all available. Besides, according to the different characters, TOP SAMPLER will customize the suitable sampling system for you.
TOP SAMPLER invites the professor who manufactures the mechanical sampling machines to list some tips we need to know during the sampling process.
Mechanical sampling system maintenance tips
- Q: What should we pay more attention when we operate the mechanical sampling machines?
A: First, you should let the professional workers operate the coal sampling system. If you don’t have the professional workers, please read the operation and maintenance instructions before the workers operate the coal sampling machines. All the workers should obey the operation rules and stay in the right position. One person stays on the controlling room at least.
Second, workers should switch on the main power of the mechanical sampling system, not just the sampler power. After using the sampling machines, workers should turn off the main power the same as turn on it. Then, turn on the monitor, vehicles voice command system, and PLC controlled system and log in your account.
- Q: Are there some details should be noticed?
A: Firstly, workers should record the state of the sampling system before using it every day. For example, the bolt connection is fastened or not, the reduction gears are completed or not. If there are some issues, workers should hand it right know and record the issues on the logbook. Secondly, workers should smear the sampling machines oil on the rack every week. On the other hand, workers should pay attention to there is some abnormal noise or not while the sampling machines running. What’s more, workers should inspect the braking mechanism of lift crane and travel crane to ensure the travel crane internal stopping distance shorter than 20-30cm.
Workers should change the rack oil of the auger reduction gears and lift gears every three months. Workers should pay attention to the components of the mechanical sampling systems in case the accidents.
- Q: What should the drivers pay attention to while sampling?
A: The drivers should remember the sampling procedures after they drive the car into the sampling zone. Firstly, drivers should shut down the coal cars and get away from the sampling zone. The sampling procedures for the drivers are easy: input the car license number, choose the sampling points and sampling points numbers, then the PLC control system will drive the auger sampler to the sampling position to standby. Then press the “start” button, the coal sampling system will sample automatically.
- Q: What should we do while there are some problems during the sampling process?
A: If you find some problems during the sampling procedures, please find the scream button. Each coal sampling system has a scream button. If you meet any problems like abnormal noise, you can press the scream button and inspect the coal sampling system.
Recommended coal sampling systems
TOP SAMPLER as a Chinese mechanical sampling systems supplier with rich experiences, we have listed some frequent questions during the sampling procedures. We point some issues and give our solutions for you. If you still have some others questions, you can contact us directly.
For avoiding some evitable issues, you can choose TOP SAMPLER mechanical sampling systems. TOP SAMPLER sampling systems are equipped with PLC control system, travel crane, lift crane, auger sampler or the cross belt sampler, and the residue reject system. There are three control modes to operate the sampling systems that are automatic control, long-range control, and manual control.
For different bulk material and different worksite, we supply different mechanical sampling system for you. In some degree, there are two main mechanical sampling systems that are auger sampling system and cross belt sampling system. Like the name said, the big difference between these two sampling systems is the sampler. Auger sampling system is suited for sampling from the vehicles like truck or the railcar. The cross belt sampling system is suited for sampling from the conveyor belt. Both of them are good at sampling the coal, iron ore, grain granules and others bulk material.
Of course, for different material, there are some differences in the mechanical sampling systems. For example, we suggest you use the sample roller crusher to process the bulk coal with high moisture. And we suggest the sample weigh machine to weigh each sample weight. Sample weigh machine is better to ensure the sample quality.
So far, we have listed some mechanical sampling system maintenance tips and we suggest some TOP SAMPLER mechanical sampling systems. If you are interested in our products, you can contact us. All sampling machines can be sold at retail. Of course, we are pleased to customize the turnkey projects for you!
