MPTS can either be used to charge small amounts into process equipment or to take samples from a process. It facilitates complex procedures for sampling directly from equipment such as dryers, mixers, packing units etc. The sample is taken in a few seconds, thus providing an instant picture of the condition of the powder (degree of mixture, humidity, homogeneity) during the process. The sample is extracted and transported to its final destination while maintaining full containment, remaining homogeneous and representative as taken in dense flow without the use of any mechanical device that could result in attrition of powders. The MPTS system is easily dismountable and can be designed for CIP or for sterile use.
