Overview

The FreeGlide® works be extending a sample collection cup into the powder flow. After sampling the cup is returned to the FreeGlide® and is inverted, this drops the sample into a bag or bottle.

At the heart of the system is the special, patented, flexible Diaphragm. The Diaphragm separates the dusty product area with the mechanical area at the rear of the sampler. The Diaphragm ensures that the device will not stick during use.

The FreeGlide® is available with either manual or automated pneumatic operation and in a range of different sizes.

Features
• Ideal for pharmaceutical and food applications
• The sample is collected in a cup and so is not physically altered by the sampling process
• The full bore of the pipe is available for powder flow in between taking samples
• Quick and easy to strip down and clean between batches
• Over 1000 FreeGlide® samplers are in use in food and pharmaceutical factories around the world
