AUTOMATIC GRAIN SAMPLER BIOPRO VV06 PORTAL

AUTOMATIC GRAIN SAMPLER BIOPRO VV06 PORTAL

BioPro VV06 Portal is an automatic grain sampler designed for stationary installation at elevators, grain terminals, ports, and grain processing facilities.

The sampler is designed to take grain samples from trucks, truck trailers, and railway wagons. Its extended sampling area allows the required sampling points to be selected without moving the vehicle.

International group “3S Company” as an official representative of the company O.K. SERVIS BioPro (Czech Republic) in Ukraine, Kazakhstan and other CIS countries, presents to your attention the most advanced automatic grain sampler on a monorail, model VV06 Portal

Advantages of the BioPro VV06 Portal sampler

• Significantly expanded sampling area — enables sampling from long vehicles, trucks with trailers, and railway wagons without moving them.
• Sampling from vehicles on both sides of the sampler support — the boom can rotate in both directions, allowing the sampler to serve two parallel traffic lanes.
• Representative sampling across the full height of the grain mass — including the bottom layer, providing an objective assessment of grain quality.
• Original mechanical concept — a robust and reliable construction ensures stable operation of the sampler under intensive use.
• Unique patented system — the BioPro design is developed for efficient automatic grain sampling.
• Compliance with requirements for objective sampling — the sampler is designed with applicable standards in mind, including EN ISO 24333.
• Sampling probe length of 4.15 m for road transport and 4.65 m for railway wagons — enables sampling across the full height of the grain mass regardless of the type of vehicle, including trucks, high-sided trailers, and railway wagons.
• Vertical probe insertion without tilting or lateral displacement relative to the sampling axis — ensures accurate positioning at the selected sampling point and allows sampling from standard truck bodies, railway wagons, tanks, and other vehicles.
• Maximum sampling distance of up to 5 m — provides a large working area for the sampler.
• Return of the sample to the vehicle body, silo, or another location at the elevator — allows the sample to be transferred according to the requirements of the facility.
• Hose and cable management device — ensures organized routing of the system’s hoses and cables during operation.
• Automatic sampling mode according to the customer’s predefined sampling pattern — reduces operating time and ensures sampling follows the specified sequence.
• Construction designed for high loads — ensures reliable equipment operation under intensive working conditions.
• Horizontal sampling area of 1.05–4.65 m from the sampler axis — allows sampling points to be selected throughout the equipment’s working range.
• Digital camera mounted on the sampler — provides visual monitoring of the sampling process; an expanded video surveillance system with additional cameras for monitoring and controlling the sampling process is available as an option.
• Significantly expanded sampling area for long vehicles, trucks with trailers and railway wagons, without having to move them.
• Ability to take samples from both sides of the roadway (railway tracks).
• Representative precision sampling of the entire bulk height, including the bottom layer, ensures optimal raw material evaluation.
• Original mechanical concept. Robust, reliable design.
• No analogues, completely patented system.
• The sampler is designed to ensure objective sampling and compliance with relevant standards, in particular EN ISO 24333.

Technical specifications

The standard package includes

1. Grain sampler (supporting columns, monorail, main carriage, drive for main carriage movement, rotary gear motor (left/right), guide console, carriage of horizontal movement along the console and vertical lowering of the probe, probe for sampling).
2. Camera and monitor – to provide an overview of the sampling site and to control the sampler.
3. Remote control for manual control of the grain sampler.
4. Receiving container in the laboratory for sample delivery.
5. Cables, wires and hoses, provided in accordance with local installation conditions.

Optional

• Sound insulation for fans.
  

 Automatic sampling system

The system ensures high sampling accuracy, minimizes the influence of the human factor and is fully integrated into automated quality lines.
Advantages of the BIOPRO VV06 automatic system:

• Accurate and uniform sampling along the entire length of the body;
• Programmable boom movement routes;
• Reliable operation in all weather conditions;
• Compatibility with laboratory equipment (analyzers, moisture meters, etc.);
• Remote control and integration into ERP/SCADA systems.

This automatic grain sampler is particularly effective for grain elevators, ports, grain handling complexes, and grain terminals, where fast, accurate, and reliable grain quality control is required.

Automated grain sampling with the BioPro VV06 Portal helps standardize the sampling process, improve the accuracy and efficiency of quality control, reduce labor costs, and increase overall productivity during grain receiving, handling, and analysis.
