Aranzu Pressure Pipe Sampler
The Aranzu pressurised sampling container is an engineered solution for extracting homogenous slurry or fluid samples from process pipelines operating at pressures up to 16 bar.
- The system consists of a custom pipe spool, designed to generate turbulence through 10 internal reducing rings over a 1-meter section, ensuring the sample taken is well-mixed and representative of the actual process stream.
- The sampling vessel is an 8L stainless steel container, specifically limited in capacity for ergonomic handling - a single operator can safely lift and transport it to surface for laboratory testing and cleaning.
- Quick-coupling connections and securing straps allow for rapid installation, removal, and replacement without specialised tools.
- The integrated breather valve prevents over-pressurisation during filling and is sealed once the vessel is full.
This system bridges the gap between plant operations and laboratory analysis by delivering reliable, consistent samples from high-pressure lines.
APPLICATION
- Designed for mining and mineral processing plants where slurry sampling is critical for metallurgical accounting, process optimisation, and quality control.
- Suitable for underground and surface operations, particularly where operators need a portable solution for transporting samples to analytical facilities.
- Provides secure anchoring to plant floors through a movable skid base with rock bolt fixtures, enabling fast and stable installation between existing pipe spools.
VARIATIONS
- Different Vessel Sizes: While standard capacity is 8L, alternative volumes (e.g., 5L or 12L) can be designed for specific customer handling or process requirements.
- Pressure Ratings: Base model supports up to 16 bar, but higher ratings can be engineered depending on site requirements.
CUSTOM REQUIREMENTS
- Adaptable to various pipeline diameters through tailored flanges and reducers.
- Frame geometry can be modified for site-specific space constraints or transport needs.
- Optional safety add-ons include pressure relief valves, protective shields, and integrated drain/flush connections.
