20130312547 | ONLINE SAMPLING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ONLINE SAMPLING - An apparatus and a method for online sampling from a product flow, where the sampling is performed continuously by introducing a cup, provided with an opening, directly into a product flow where the flowing product is collected in the cup for determining one or more physical conditions, for example, weight in relation to volume, moisture, size and/or color. The apparatus has at least a slidable cup and a device for sliding the cup. The apparatus also has a filter element and a device by which the filter element is brought into position in relation to an opening in the cup, an aerator for aeration of the sample taken in the cup, and at least a set of sensors for determining the presence of contents and/or physical conditions of the contents in the cup. | 11-28-2013 |
20100288040 | SAMPLING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SAMPLING - An apparatus and a method for sampling from a product flow, where the sampling is performed continuously and where the product is collected in a cup for determining physical conditions, for example, weight in relation to volume, and where the cup is emptied after ending the sampling. The apparatus is provided with at least one sampling cup provided with a filling opening and an emptying opening with different cross-sectional areas. It is not necessary to perform a turning movement of the sampling cup in order to empty it. Instead, preferably, the sampling cup is emptied by opening/uncovering the bottom. Emptying of the cup and subsequent cleaning of the cup are effected with open bottom by passage of the product flow through the cup; but, emptying may also occur in a separate duct. | 11-18-2010 |
