Pelican Sampler for Grain

Pelican Sampler for Grain – Bulk Flow Sampling Tool

The Pelican Grain Sampler is a reliable bulk flow sampling tool designed to collect representative samples from a falling or flowing stream of grain. Commonly used in grain elevators, processing plants, and agricultural facilities, this sampler allows accurate material collection without interrupting the flow of product.

Built using high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials, the Pelican sampler is designed for long-term field use and complies with regulatory requirements for grain quality and safety testing. It is often used alongside other professional grain sampling and test bags and accessories.

Durable Construction and Design

The Pelican Grain Sampler features a rugged, precision-built design intended to withstand demanding agricultural environments.

• Pouch dimensions: 18” L × 6” D × 2” W
• Pouch material: Russet top-grade cowhide, hand-riveted for durability
• Sample probe materials:
• Aluminum (lightweight and practical)
• Brass (durable and high quality)
• Stainless steel (excellent corrosion resistance)

Reinforced joints and secure fastenings ensure long service life and consistent performance. The sampler is supplied without a handle; a 1” diameter dowel rod or axe handle is recommended for comfortable operation.

This construction aligns with other grain sampling tools found in the Certified MTP inventory, including grain dockage sieves and accessories.

Efficient Bulk Grain Sampling

During sampling, grain flows by gravity directly into a sealed container, preserving sample integrity and preventing contamination. The Pelican sampler is specifically designed for vertical (90°) grain flows, making it suitable for a wide range of grain handling and transfer applications.

Sampling from a falling stream captures the natural variability of the bulk material, providing a more accurate representation of the entire lot. This method supports accurate quality analysis and feeds into laboratory testing and moisture evaluation workflows.

Importance of Proper Grain Sampling

Grain sampling is the first and most critical step in ensuring product quality, safety, and compliance. A representative sample allows for accurate analysis of moisture content, foreign material, grading, and overall quality.

The Pelican Grain Sampler is designed to:

• Collect representative samples from flowing grain
• Maintain sample integrity
• Support accurate laboratory analysis

This type of sampling is often paired with grain analysis tools available at Certified MTP, such as precision sieve sets and sample bags to complete your quality control process.

Cross-Cut Sampling Capability

As a primary cross-cut sampler, the Pelican Grain Sampler can be installed in place of a section of spouting. It is available in both 45° and 90° models, offering flexibility for different system layouts and grain handling configurations.

This design supports:

• Continuous, automated sampling
• No interruption to material flow
• Accurate and repeatable sample collection

Cross-cut sampling plays a key role in grain quality assurance and is supported by Certified MTP’s range of grain testing accessories.

Features and Benefits

• Accurate Sampling: Provides representative samples for reliable quality control
• Easy Installation: Can be integrated into spouting
• Durable Construction: Built for frequent use and harsh environments
• Versatile Application: Suitable for various granular materials
• Low Maintenance: Designed for long life with minimal upkeep

These advantages make the Pelican Grain Sampler a dependable choice for agricultural sampling needs.
