Go-Belt® Sampling Systems
Integrated Sampling Arrangements Engineered for a Specific Duty
A Go-Belt® Sampling System combines a Go-Belt® Sampler with the application-specific equipment required to perform a defined sampling duty. T.K.O Engineering engineers and integrates the sampler, sample-transfer equipment, collection arrangements, controls and, where required, downstream sample-preparation equipment as an integrated system.
Typical System Building Blocks
Depending on the sampling application and required scope, a Go-Belt® Sampling System may incorporate some or all of the following.
Go-Belt® Sampler
The primary sampling machine configured for the material stream and sampling application.
Chutes & Sample Transfer
Engineered chute work and transfer arrangements used to direct sampled material between the required stages of the system.
Sample Handling & Collection
Equipment and arrangements used to receive, direct and collect sampled material while supporting sample integrity and controlled handling.
Controls & PLC Integration
Electrical controls and PLC integration used to coordinate the required sampling sequence and associated equipment.
Crushing — where required
Sample crushing equipment can be incorporated where size reduction forms part of the required sampling and preparation duty.
Sample Division / Splitting — where required
Appropriate sample-division equipment can be incorporated where reduction of sample mass is required for downstream handling or preparation.
From Sampling Point to Collected Sample
The scope of a Go-Belt® Sampling System is determined by what is required between the primary sampling point and the required sample destination. This allows T.K.O Engineering to engineer the surrounding sample-handling arrangement together with the Go-Belt® Sampler rather than treating each item of equipment in isolation.
1. PRIMARY SAMPLING
The Go-Belt® Sampler obtains a sample increment from the material stream.
2. SAMPLE TRANSFER
Sampled material is transferred to the next required stage.
3. SAMPLE PREPARATION
Where required, crushing and/or sample division is incorporated into the system.
4. SAMPLE COLLECTION
The resulting sample is directed to the required collection arrangement for downstream handling or analysis.
Engineered Around Your Sampling Duty
No two sampling applications are identical. T.K.O Engineering reviews the material stream, installation arrangement, material characteristics, sampling requirements and downstream sample-handling requirements before determining the appropriate system configuration.
Application information may include:
• Commodity and material characteristics
• Material-stream arrangement
• Material flow rate
• Nominal top particle size
• Conveyor or transfer-point arrangement
• Available installation space
• Required sampling duty and frequency
• Required sample handling and preparation
• Sample collection requirements
• Electrical and control requirements
• Site and project requirements
Sampling System or Sampling Plant?
A Go-Belt® Sampling System is typically engineered around a defined sampling duty and the equipment required to take the sample from the primary sampling point to the required downstream destination.
Where the project requires a more extensive multi-stage sampling facility incorporating primary sampling, sample transfer, crushing, division, secondary preparation, collection, structural works and associated electrical and control integration, T.K.O Engineering can engineer the scope as a complete Go-Belt® Sampling Plant.
Discuss Your Sampling Requirement
Provide T.K.O Engineering with your process, material-stream and sampling requirements for review of the appropriate Go-Belt® Sampling System configuration.
