Sampler for molten metal
MINKON is a leading manufacturer of samplers for molten metals and offers over 1,000 different combinations that are specially tailored to customers' individual requirements. With over 40 years of experience in the development and production of innovative solutions, MINKON guarantees precise, fast and reliable sampling. The sophisticated design of the samplers ensures representative and homogeneous sampling from the melt.
Executions
MINKON offers sampling systems for various applications, including
- Pig iron
- Immersion probes with round sample shape (in 6, 8, 10 or 12 mm thickness) with/without pins for combustion analysis
- Steel
- Immersion probes (single / double)
- Suction probes
- Pour jet samplers
Steel samplers are available in a variety of sample geometries:
- with/without chamfer
- Round samples
- Oval samples
- Double medallions & inverted double medallions
- Pins & cylinders
- Jominy samples
Customizability
Specific adaptation of the samplers for all types of metal is possible:
- Melts with extremely high carbon content (HC)
- Melts with extremely low carbon content (ULC)
- Stainless steel grades
The samplers are optimized for different process conditions, such as
- High or low superheat temperatures
- Different slag conditions
- Deoxidation requirements
- Manual or automated sampling methods
Safety & precision
To increase operating safety and improve analysis accuracy, the probes are available with splash protection.
As a supplement, a MINKON ProAS system can be used to achieve the best analysis results. The ProAS system (argon purged sampling) ensures a highly representative and homogeneous sample by removing impurities and optimizing the melt during sampling. This system is particularly recommended for applications with the highest analytical requirements and maximum sample yield.
