The Gamet 6800S Spout-Style Sampler is a rugged diverter-type sampling system designed for accurate sampling in smaller-flow grain, feed and agricultural processing applications.
As the smallest sampler in Gamet’s 6800 spout sampler line, the 6800S provides a practical solution for facilities that need dependable automatic grain sampling without the capacity requirements of a larger bulk sampling system.
Its completely sealed construction, flexible mounting orientation and available system accessories allow the 6800S to be incorporated into a complete sampling system based on the requirements of the facility.
Diverter-Type Sampling for Smaller Flow Rates
Obtaining a representative sample from a moving product stream requires sampling equipment that collects material consistently throughout the flow of product.
The Gamet 6800S is designed for smaller flow-rate applications where accurate sampling is required. Installed directly into a spout, the sampler can be positioned to collect samples from the moving product stream as part of an automated sampling process.
Potential 6800S applications include:
- Grain elevators
- Feed mills
- Seed handling facilities
- Grain processing facilities
- Ingredient handling systems
- Smaller grain transfer points
- Quality-control sampling applications
- Ethanol plants
The 6800S can be incorporated into systems used to collect samples for grading, quality-control and product evaluation procedures.
Flexible Spout Sampler Installation
Facility layouts are rarely identical. Spout angle, available space, product flow and sample delivery requirements can all influence how a sampling system must be installed.
The 6800S can be mounted at angles ranging from 35 degrees off horizontal, or minimum angle of repose for the intended commodity, through vertical, providing flexibility when incorporating the sampler into existing or new grain handling systems.
This mounting flexibility makes the 6800S useful for applications where a standard vertical installation is not practical.
Gamet also provides installation examples for angular and vertical 6800S configurations with different divider and sample handling arrangements.
Completely Sealed Construction
The 6800S features completely sealed construction for installation within grain and bulk material handling systems.
Customers can select either urethane, kryptane or ceramic tile lining materials based on the requirements of the application.
System electric controls are supplied with the sampler, and additional accessories are available when building a more complete sampling system around the 6800S.

How a Spout-Style Grain Sampler Fits Into a Sampling System
The sampler itself is one component of the overall grain sampling process.
Depending on the application, a complete system may also include sample division, sample collection, controls and equipment for delivering the sample to the location where it will be inspected or tested.
Gamet offers system accessories and multiple installation configurations that allow the 6800S to become part of a complete grain sampling system.
The correct configuration depends on factors including product flow, sampler location, available space, sample destination and the amount of sample required.
6800S vs. 6800L Spout Sampler
Both the Gamet 6800S and 6800L are spout-style diverter samplers, but they are designed around different application requirements.
The 6800S is the smallest sampler in the line and is ideal for smaller flow-rate applications.
The 6800L Spout-Style Sampler is the largest model in the 6800 spout sampler line and is designed for larger-volume applications, including rail loadout installations.
Selecting between the two should be based on the product being sampled, flow rate, spout configuration and overall system requirements.
Planning a 6800S Sampling System
A successful diverter sampling installation should be designed around both the product stream and the final sample requirements.
Important application factors include:
- Commodity or material being sampled
- Product flow rate
- Spout size
- Spout angle
- Sampler mounting location
- Available installation space
- Desired sampling frequency
- Amount of sample required
- Sample collection location – gravity or pneumatic delivery
- Sample division requirements
- Electrical requirements
Gamet Manufacturing can help evaluate these factors and develop an appropriate spout sampling configuration for the application.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Gamet 6800S
What is the Gamet 6800S designed for?
The 6800S is the smallest sampler in Gamet’s spout sampler line and is designed primarily for smaller flow-rate applications requiring accurate sampling.
Is the 6800S a diverter-type sampler?
Yes. The 6800S is part of Gamet’s diverter-type bulk sampling equipment line and is designed for installation in a product spout.
Does the 6800S have to be installed vertically?
No. The 6800S can be mounted at any angle from 35 degrees off horizontal (angle of repose) through vertical, providing flexibility for different facility layouts.
What lining materials are available?
Customers can choose between urethane, kryptane and ceramic tile lining materials depending on the application requirements.
Are electrical controls included?
Yes. System electric controls are supplied with the 6800S.
Can the 6800S be used as part of a complete sampling system?
Yes. System accessories are available to incorporate the 6800S into a complete grain or bulk material sampling application.
Can the 6800S be used for official sampling applications?
The system can be configured for approval for official use in applications subject to applicable GIPSA, CGC and NOPA sampling requirements. Application-specific requirements should be reviewed when designing the system.
