Drum Sampling System

CSP offers a customised drum sampling system which allows for a sample of the product to be taken from inside the drum without the risk of contamination. The system consists of a flexible isolator sealed onto the drum that is to be sampled. It is a transportable system made of clear flexible material and has been designed so that it can be used by a single operator.

How it works:
• The flexible isolator is preloaded with the required sampling tools and sample jars.
• The easy attachable sleeve of the isolator is then stretched down over the drum and taped to the drum to create the seal.
• The flexible isolator is then supported by bungee chord onto the frame provided.
• Once the seal is created and the system is contained, the lid of the drum can then be removed inside the isolator.
• The inner liners containing the product can then be opened inside the flexible isolator using the glove sleeves provided.
• The sample can then be taken and removed from the system using the twist tie tape and cut procedure.
• The inner liners are resealed and the lid of the drum is reattached to the drum without the system being breached.
• The final step is to disconnect the flexible isolator from the drum and this can be done by again using the twist tie tape and cut procedure.
