'Black-Box' Grain Sampler

For sampling grain during outloading

• The quickest and most consistent method of sampling grain ACCURATELY when loading grain into store or onto a lorry.
• Developed by a UK farmer and tested by HGCA, the Black-Box Grain Sampler is simply fitted onto the back of your grain bucket. It takes a small sample (about 150g) from each bucketful as it is tipped. This gives a very accurate composite sample of the lorry load and can be split between your merchant and the farm.
• HGCA tests show it is likely to be as representative as any sample.

Your end user may accept this sample for their intake purposes.

Action recommended by HGCA: "Consider fitting and automatic bucket sampler". See HGCA Topic Sheet 83.
