ABSTRACT:
A sampling apparatus is characterized by a sampler and a sample collection station. The sampler is stationary and periodically delivers discrete product samples to a stationary inlet to the sample collection station. The sample collection station includes a deck having a plurality of passages in linearly aligned spaced relationship, a plurality of sample collection containers, and inlets to the sample collection containers that are in communication with associated ones of the deck passages. The deck is linearly indexed in both directions of movement along the linear alignment of the deck passages to place selected ones of the deck passages into communication with the stationary inlet, so that product samples delivered by the sampler to the sample collection station are directed into selected ones of the sample collection containers. The use of a plurality of sample collection containers at the sample collection station provides an increased product sample collection capacity and extends the time for which product samples may be collected before the station reaches its capacity and requires operator attendance to replace full with empty sample collection containers. A generally side-by-side alignment of the sample collection containers provides an unobstructed view of the containers to allow all of the containers to be simultaneously visually inspected by an operator.
