The new GEA Powder Spool Sampler is a low cost hygienic solution for reliable and remote powder sampling designed specifically for Dairy and Food processors. The simple design provides a robust method for taking fixed volume powder samples at any point in the powder manufacturing process.
The powder spool sampler is pneumatically operated thereby making it a safe solution in powder applications where explosive conditions may exist. This also makes it a simple unit to maintain.
Using a weld-in-place or tri-clover clamp fixing, the powder spool sampler can be located in parts of the plant where effective and reliable product sampling is required and which may not be easily or safely accessible by an operator.
The addition of a remote control unit enables the sampling process to be performed from convenient locations or operator stations. Alternatively, the sampler can be integrated into an existing automation system and controlled via PLC if required.
The GEA Powder Spool Sampler has been designed to allow interchangeability with our existing auger based samplers making it a versatile addition to existing plants where GEA powder samplers are fitted.
Benefits include:
- Easy cleaning
- Metal detectable components
- Closed loop collection
- Minimal operator involvement
- No electrical installation required
- Optional automatic operation for remote sampling
- Consistent sample size
- Reduced handling ensures sample integrity

The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
