The Gamet 6800L Spout-Style Sampler is a heavy-duty diverter-type sampling system designed for large-volume grain and bulk material handling applications.
As the largest model in Gamet’s spout sampler line, the 6800L combines completely sealed construction with a simple drive mechanism and flexible mounting capability for demanding sampling installations.
The 6800L is particularly well suited for high-capacity grain handling systems and rail loadout sampling applications where representative samples must be collected from a moving product stream.
Large-Volume Grain Sampling
High-capacity grain handling facilities require sampling equipment that can be incorporated into systems moving substantial volumes of product.
The Gamet 6800L is designed for these larger-volume applications and provides a proven spout-style grain sampling solution for facilities that require automatic sampling within the product flow.
Potential applications include:
- Large grain elevators
- Rail loadout facilities
- Grain terminals
- Feed manufacturing facilities
- Agricultural processing plants
- Bulk ingredient handling operations
- High-capacity grain transfer systems
- Ethanol plants
The system can be incorporated into a larger sampling arrangement that includes sample division, controls, sample collection and delivery equipment based on the requirements of the facility.
Ideal for Rail Loadout Sampling Applications
Rail loadout operations often move significant quantities of grain or bulk material through a concentrated product stream.
The 6800L is specifically intended as an ideal solution for rail loadout sampling, making this one of the key applications to consider when evaluating the larger spout sampler.
The ability to integrate the sampler into different system configurations allows the 6800L to be used as part of a sampling process designed around the facility’s product flow and final sample destination.
Flexible Spout Installation
Like the 6800S, the 6800L does not have to be installed only in a vertical spout.
The sampler can be mounted at any angle from 35 degrees off horizontal, or minimum angle of repose for the intended commodity, through vertical. This provides system designers with greater flexibility when adding a diverter sampler to new or existing grain handling equipment.
Gamet provides installation examples for angular and vertical 6800L installations using several sample divider and sample delivery arrangements.
Completely Sealed Construction
The 6800L features completely sealed construction and a simple drive mechanism, making it suitable for many large-volume bulk sampling applications.
Customers can select either urethane, kryptane or ceramic tile lining materials based on the requirements of the product and installation.
System electric controls are supplied with the sampler, and additional accessories are available when a complete sampling system is required.

Automatic Sampling From a Moving Product Stream
Diverter-style sampling systems are used to obtain samples from product moving through a grain handling system.
Rather than relying on occasional surface or manually collected samples, an appropriately configured automatic grain sampling system can collect material at predetermined intervals during product movement.
The collected material can then move to additional sample handling equipment for division, collection, inspection or testing according to the needs of the facility.
The configuration of the overall system should be based on the commodity, flow rate, required sampling interval and amount of final sample needed.
6800S vs. 6800L Spout Sampler
Both Gamet 6800 models provide diverter-style sampling within a product spout, but each is intended for a different range of applications.
The 6800S Spout-Style Sampler is the smaller model and is designed primarily for smaller flow-rate applications.
The 6800L is the largest model in the spout sampler line and is better suited for large-volume applications, including rail loadout.
Product type, flow rate, spout dimensions and overall sampling requirements should be considered when determining which sampler is appropriate.
Planning a Large-Volume Sampling System
A large-volume grain sampling installation should be designed around the complete process rather than selecting an individual sampler in isolation.
Important system considerations include:
- Commodity or product being sampled
- Maximum product flow rate
- Spout dimensions
- Spout angle
- Available mounting location
- Sampling frequency
- Amount of final sample required
- Sample divider requirements
- Sample collection location
- Sample conveying requirements – gravity or pneumatic delivery
- Electrical requirements
- Available installation space
Gamet Manufacturing can assist in evaluating these factors and developing a complete sampling configuration around the requirements of the facility.
