Abstract

Excerpts from the report Summary: A spout-type automatic sampler has been designed for farmers stock peanuts handled in bulk. It has been installed and tested under full-scale operating conditions at a peanut-buying point. This sampler has met requirements for reliability and accuracy and has been approved by the Fruit and Vegetable Division, AMS, and the Oils and Peanut Division, CSS, as a means of sampling for official grading. This applies to inspection for both commercial purchases and storage under Government loans. Tests have shown that samples drawn by the spout-type automatic sampler are more accurate and less variable than samples drawn by the scoop-sampling method. The design of the sampler is such that it may be expected to draw representative samples of any commodity which is normally handled by a belt and bucket elevator. Corn and soybeans have been successfully sampled. However, actual sampling tests have been conducted only with peanuts.
