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.
