Project Goals

Achieve alignment with Grain Trade Australia’s (GTA) Required Minimum Representative Sample Code of Practice, adhere to their own Quality Assurance goals and eliminate OH&S risks associated with manual sampling.

Project Description

After in-depth consultation with our client, we supplied, installed and commissioned 2 x Samplex CS90 grain sampling machines at their S.A. site. The machines were strategically spaced to optimise load access on multi-combination sem-trailers.

Outcome

Helped client align with GTA sampling requirements, strengthened internal Quality Assurance processes, and eliminated OH&S risks.

Financial or Operational Impact

The use of the CS90 telescopic grain sampler now ensures a truly representative sample of grain, from top to bottom of every bulk load, as opposed to manual sampling processes which restricted sampling to the top layer of the load. The manual sampling process previously used was not a preferred option by the GTA.

The strategic positioning of the 2 x CS90’s also allows for a truly representative sample of the entire load without the need to reposition the truck during the sampling process. This has eliminated the risk of damage to equipment associated with the need to reposition transporters and has the additional benefit of further improving sampling speed.

Client Feedback

“I have been involved in the introduction and use of the Samplex probes for over 10 years across various companies, and the CS90 system installed by McCabe Engineering has taken things to another level. It’s helped us align with GTA sampling requirements, strengthened our QA process, and removed OH&S risks. The equipment is excellent, but what really stands out is the service. Andrew has worked closely with us from planning through to commissioning and continues to provide excellent support.”
