How to Choose an Automatic Grain Sampler: Solutions for Different Intake Requirements

An automatic grain sampler makes grain intake faster, more consistent and less dependent on manual sampling. However, the right solution depends primarily on the type of transport and the layout of the grain intake facility.

3S Company offers automatic sampling solutions for different truck and rail intake scenarios.

Rakoraf CEE — for automated truck sampling

Rakoraf CEE is designed for automatic sampling of grain from road transport.

It is suitable for facilities looking to automate the sampling process, improve consistency and reduce manual operations during grain intake.

BIOPRO VV06 — for two truck intake lanes

For facilities handling a higher flow of trucks, BIOPRO VV06 is designed to serve two intake lanes.

This configuration allows automated sampling to be organized across two receiving lines, helping improve the efficiency of the grain intake process.

Rakoraf 2 Linear — for long road trains

For facilities regularly receiving trucks with trailers and long road trains, Rakoraf 2 Linear provides a practical solution.

Its linear design allows the sampling unit to move along the vehicle, providing access to different sampling points without moving the truck.

BIOPRO VV06 PORTAL — for road trains and rail wagons

For large grain intake facilities handling both road and rail transport, BIOPRO VV06 PORTAL provides a more versatile solution.

The system can sample long vehicles and road trains without moving them, as well as railway wagons.

For rail transport, the system allows sampling from both sides of the railway track, providing a wider working area and greater flexibility for facility layouts.

How to choose the right sampler?

Rakoraf CEE → truck intake

BIOPRO VV06 → two truck intake lanes

Rakoraf 2 Linear → long trucks and road trains

BIOPRO VV06 PORTAL → road trains and rail wagons

The selection should start with the intake process: what type of transport arrives at the facility, how many intake lanes need to be served, how long the road trains are, and whether railway wagons also need to be sampled.

A properly selected automatic sampler helps standardize grain sampling, reduce intake time and provide a reliable basis for subsequent laboratory quality analysis.

3S Company can help select an automatic grain sampler according to the layout, transport requirements and operational needs of a particular facility.
