Enhanced Agricultural Inspection Capabilities that enable Intertek to sample products which are in a static state, ideal for taking samples of dry cargo products.
At Intertek, we are driven by our goal to never stop innovating to better service the needs of our clients. We are proud to present our latest advance and newest addition to our dry cargo inspection capabilities – a mobile sampling device. This portable tool is a manually inserted pneumatic probe, capable of sampling to depths of 20 meters / 60 feet. It enables us to sample products which are in a static state and is ideal for taking samples of products such as:
- Grains and cereals: barley, bulgur, canola, corn and corn meal, kasha, millet, oats, quinoa, rice, spelt, wheat
- Pulses: lentils, dry beans, soya beans, soya meal
- Seeds, such as mustard seeds
Given its usefulness in taking samples from static products, the probe is particularly suited to assist with monitoring ground piles and silo conditions. Its timesaving, portable design makes the probe ideal for use on seagoing vessels, as well as on barges, trains, and trucks. As an example, seagoing vessels with 5 or 7 holds can now be sampled within a time frame of 12-16 hours.
Thanks to the sampler’s unique design which allows samples to be taken from static product, Intertek inspectors can eliminate unnecessary shifting, turning or related discharge activities of the product involved, thereby avoiding significant expenses and delays for our customers. Moreover, due to the portable nature of the sampler, it can be used practically anywhere throughout the European continent with a notice of 24 hours.
True to our Total Quality Assurance proposition, Intertek’s new device enables us to provide the market with an easy-to-use mobile sampling tool for dry cargo which rivals current sampling capabilities for testing agricultural liquid cargo, and can help you sharpen your competitive edge.
