The solution to obtaining product samples
from a wide range of production processes

The Mucon oyster sample valve is designed to quickly and easily extract powder samples from reactors, dryers and conveying systems with minimal disruption to the production process. The sampling valve is available either in an intrusive or non-Intrusive format for manual or pneumatic operation. The standard oyster sample valve has a non-intrusive piston with a sample port at an angle to the main body into which the sample material falls under gravity when the valve is opened.

The sample port is equipped with a purging valve, which can be used to equalize pressure / vacuum to the outside.The sample valve itself is attached to the vessel by means of a tri-clamp or mounting flange. Mounting arrangements can be customized if required.

Applications:

The easy and quick solution to extracting powder samples from a wide variety of process machinery such as;

• Dryers
• Reactors
• Conveying Systems

Benefits:

•  Robust design
• Non-Intrusive sample extractive
• Fast and simple to use
• Few product components makes it easy and quick to strip down and reassemble – No special tools required
• A wide variety of non-contact surfaces
• ATEX classification if required for potentially explosive environments.
• Purging valve with Tri-clamp attachment for easier cleaning
