Product information "Bürkle PowderProof vertical sampling lance, V4A/V2A stainless steel, powder, 1,200 mm, 5302-1202"
A drum, a barrel or a big bag can be opened from the top, but it is virtually impossible to obtain a representative sample from the centre or the bottom of the container using a hand shovel. The PowderProof vertical lance is inserted from the top and extracts the sample material using a motorised feed spiral from the set depth, either 600, 900 or 1,200 millimetres.
Insertion from above into large containers
Unlike the horizontal lance, which is inserted from the side, this version is inserted vertically from above into open containers. This is suitable for drums, barrels and big bags with unobstructed access from above, when a sample needs to be taken from a specific depth rather than just from the surface.
Three penetration depths for containers of different sizes
The 600-millimetre model is suitable for small to medium-sized drums, the 900-millimetre version for larger barrels, and the 1,200-millimetre version for tall big bags or stacked containers. As the penetration depth increases, so does the total length of the lance, from 907 to 1,207 and up to 1,507 millimetres (see table below), whilst the weight rises accordingly from around 6.2 to up to 7.1 kilograms.
Motorised conveying instead of a hand shovel
A Bosch battery-powered drive unit drives the feed spiral in the lance, so that the sample material is conveyed evenly from the set depth into the sample bag provided. For repeated sampling from the same type of container, this delivers a more consistent extraction than a manual tool, regardless of the operator’s manual strength.
Powder and granules by penetration depth
For each of the three lengths, there is one version for powders with a particle size of up to 2 millimetres and one for granules with a particle size of 2 to 4 millimetres, making a total of six variants. The housing, drive unit and accessories are identical across all six models; the differences lie in the feed spiral, overall length and weight.
Cleaning after sampling
After use, the lance can be cleaned of any residual material using the cleaning brush supplied before it is used for the next sample. When changing materials, a thorough interim clean prevents residues from the previous sample from contaminating the next batch.
Typical applications
- Sampling of free-flowing powders and granules from open containers such as drums, barrels or big bags
- Sampling from specific depths rather than just from the surface of the container
- Incoming goods inspection of large containers in chemical and food processing plants
- Recurring sampling with a consistent flow rate thanks to the motorised drive

Choose a depth to suit the container
A 200-litre drum can usually be fully sampled using the 600-millimetre version. For taller barrels or big bags with a higher fill level, the 900- or 1,200-millimetre version is the safer choice, so that the sample comes from the actual core of the container rather than just from the top layer.

Regulatory information
As the PowderProof vertical lance is powered by a battery-operated drive unit, it is classified as an electrical appliance under the ElektroG. Information on returning the appliance at the end of its useful life can be found under ‘Environment and Disposal’. The batteries supplied must not be disposed of with general household waste, but should be returned via the standard household battery and rechargeable battery collection scheme.
Service and procurement
If the container is only accessible from the side, for example, a sack lying on its side, the PowderProof horizontal lance is more suitable. As a wear part for both lance orientations, the PowderProof feed spiral as a spare part is available separately. For cohesive, non-free-flowing substances, where the feed spiral reaches its limits, the Scratcher powder sampler is more suitable, and for smaller hand samples without a motor, the PharmaScoop pharmaceutical scoop. We order each of the six variants individually and, where necessary, coordinate their use with the horizontal lance for mixed sampling tasks.
