In a sample receiver the heavier components, such as water, separate. To ensure that the sample withdrawn for analysis is representative the contents must be thoroughly mixed. The MS-53 is connected to a sample receiver and samples may be drawn from a takeoff valve or through an optional septum. The MS-53 mixer can also be supplied in a heated enclosure for temperature critical oils.
The Laboratory Workstation comprising the Laboratory Mixer and LabPC is designed to standardise and record the sample handling and mixing process through the withdrawal of samples from the receivers for analysis. Use of this equipment provides quality assured accountability that is beyond dispute.
Two types of receiver cleaning system are available. A hot water based system for products that can be cleaned with water at 70-80° C and a solvent based system for more arduous duty. The system is designed to provide a clean “dry” receiver by fully washing and flushing all the walls, couplings and internal pipe-work.
