Sampling unit for continuous sampling in industrial processes
The PRS sampling unit ensures precise and uncontaminated sampling from down pipes or hoppers, essential for maintaining quality control in pharmaceuticals and fine chemical production.

The PRS Sampling Unit from AZO GmbH & Co. KG offers precise and reliable sampling for continuous quality control in pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries. It employs a screw mechanism, available with pneumatic, electric, or manual operation, to accurately extract samples of powders and granules from down pipes or hoppers. This makes it ideal for producing pharmaceutical tablets, fine chemical additives, and nutraceutical capsules, among other end-products.
Designed for seamless integration, the unit can be installed via tri-clamp connections or flanges, ensuring easy connectivity to existing production lines. The transparent collection hopper allows for immediate visual inspection and quick removal, ensuring contamination-free processing. It operates with high efficiency and flexibility in both continuous and manual modes.
Engineered for durability, the PRS Sampling Unit can be manufactured in corrosion-resistant materials, compliant with industry standards such as GMP, making it suitable for stringent laboratory and production environments. Additionally, its design facilitates straightforward cleaning and maintenance, reducing downtime and ensuring longevity. With customizable options and engineering support available, this unit can be tailored to meet specific production requirements.
