Grain Sampling Made Easy. The Graintec – VAC sampling system will enable you to sample a wide range of grains at the flick of a switch. This type of Vacuum Sampling System has been recommended by the Australian Government National Measurement Institute in their specifications. "Protein Measuring Instruments for Grain". Research carried out in Australia indicates that this type of vacuum sampling has better repeatability than manual sampling techniques.

The Graintec – VAC consists of an Industrial grade wet and dry vacuum motor/system, a powder coated steel collection chamber with filter, brackets for wall mounting, 8m length of flexible hose (to the vac probe).  Also included is a probe made of stainless steel tubing 32mm ID, 2 meters in length and connected to the sample chamber by 8 meters of flexible plastic vacuum hose. The sample is drawn up the 2 meter probe to pass along a flexible hose and to be deposited in the collection chamber. After sampling the flap door can be opened to release the sample into a bucket for mixing and sub-sampling.

Vacuum suction lifts the sample through the probe, this enables the probe to move down into the bulk load without thrusting. The result is an even penetration giving a representative core sample from the load. It has been shown that a quantitative recovery of a live insect infestation is achievable. The representative sample is delivered to the Perspex sample chamber located inside the Grain Testing shed. Enabling sample recovery into a bucket for further mixing, sub-sampling and analysis. The sample chamber includes an easily cleaned filter to protect the suction motor. The same design as used by many of the bulk handling authorities, grain traders and end users or grain. Sampling is achieved faster, easier and more representative with less effort. The Graintec – VAC is ideal for sampling a large range of grains including Wheat and Barley through to large grains like Corn and Lupins.
