The DV Stork Compact grain sampling probe is a proven solution for sampling and grain processing facilities. The hydraulic drive mechanism ensures reliable sampling in the targeted locations. The presence of two control panels, a monitor and a control camera allows you to move the sampling arm quickly and accurately and collect samples at the required sampling points. The length of the probes, up to 2.50 meters, allows you to extract relevant samples.
The Stork Compact grain sampler from the Italian manufacturer D.V. is the most popular model for solving sampling problems for small elevators and granaries.
Dozens of such samplers are already working. A modern high-quality solution both for the metal of the structure, drive hydraulics, pneumatics for sample delivery. The presence of a remote control and video control facilitates the work of the operator and laboratory assistants. Day after day without tiredness and mistakes. Equipment of the European manufacturer D.V.
The effective work of each elevator, grain processing plant, grain storage begins with the receipt of grain. No less important is the question of an objective quick assessment of the quality of incoming grain.
As a solution for sampling from trucks when receiving grain, the automated sampler Stork Compact is a high-quality solution that can be implemented at your enterprise in the current season.

The Stork Compact Sampler is an affordable, proven solution for 24/7 operation and a wide temperature range. The Stork Compact Sampler is designed with an increased safety margin of construction, actuators, and is thus built to last over 10 years.
The Stork Compact sampler can be equipped with one of 3 sample probes (immersion part) at the user’s choice. Accordingly, for each design, the length can be further increased.
The algorithm of operation of the samplers with pneumatic feeding / withdrawal of the sample starts sampling only after immersion in the grain. Thus, the selected sample 100% reflects the composition and does not distort the qualitative composition of the sample at any sampling depth.
Details on Stork Compact sampler:

General view of the structure of the sampler Stork CompactThe algorithm of operation of the samples with pneumatic feeding is based on the withdrawal of the sample at the beginning of the sampling and only after the immersion in cereals. Thus, the selected sample reflects 100% of the composition and does not distort the qualitative composition of the sample at any sampling depth.

The working area for the Stork Compact is just right for standard trucks without a trailer. In the case of a trailer, additional movement of the truck will be required to take samples from the trailer.
Fast sampling and grain quality assessment is made even faster with the provided solutions.
The sampler is more efficient when the laboratory uses the Infratec 1241 or Infratec Nova grain quality analyzers. In this case, the processing speed of the machine is 3 to 6 minutes. There are 10-20 cars per hour. 240-500 trucks with grain per day.
Now you have a specific and inexpensive solution for your company. The solution will work efficiently and reliably already this year, but most importantly, it has been tested in Europe for a long time and many confirmations have been received.
