Video: How Can You Obtain a Representative Sample From your Material Stream?

This 3-minute video offers an animated view of how a sampling system obtains a representative sample directly from the material stream on your troughed belt conveyor. It illustrates how the equipment extracts a cross-belt sample from a variety of applications including coal, limestone, sand, crushed rock, ferrous and non-ferrous ores, and concentrates for analysis.  How do you know if the sample is uniform material?  Do you need to crush the material? What if multi-stage sampling is required?  You can see it all here in this video.
