Sampling is the essential first step in any metallurgical or mineral process, as this is where raw material is tested to determine its suitability for further processing. Multotec has over 50 years of experience in sampling technology, making it one of the world leaders in sampling solutions.
Multotec Australia's sampling systems are used by metallurgists, miners, mine operators, refineries and smelters worldwide. Multotec has a range of samplers that are tailored for specific applications including gold mining, coal mining and mineral extraction. Its sampling systems use washdown technology using water and chemicals to remove unwanted elements from samples, giving you a clean feed into your process or analysis.
Multotec Australia has a range of high-quality mining samplers for numerous applications. The Multotec sampling system is designed with the user in mind, offering easy operation, quick set-up, and minimal maintenance requirements.
Additionally, Multotec's samplers are designed to deliver accurate and representative samples, ensuring that the data collected is reliable and of high quality. This is achieved through the use of advanced sampling technology, such as cross-stream samplers, which work by taking samples from a moving stream of material, and vertical samplers, which extracts samples from a vertical flow of material.
Multotec samplers are also built to last, comprising durable materials and high-quality components that ensure long-term performance and reliability. The company offers a range of standard sampling solutions, as well as customised options to meet specific customer requirements. These include samplers for wet sampling, preliminary dry sampling, ancillary dry sampling and trace elements sampling.
With branches in Brisbane, Mackay, Newcastle, Newman, Perth, and Emerald, Multotec Australia is perfectly positioned to aid with all of your mineral sampling requirements. Our sampling systems are used by international mining giants like Xstrata, Fortescue Metals, BHP Billiton, Oceania Gold, FQM, Rio Tinto, and Anglo Coal, to sort and sample a variety of minerals including, but not limited to, aluminium, chrome, coal, copper (oxide and sulphide), diamonds, gold, graphite, vanadium (high and low grade), iron ore, lithium-tantalum, manganese, mineral sands, nickel, PGM, phosphates, tantalum, tin, uranium, and Zinc

The 2-in-1 sampler forms part of the Multotec Australia wet sampler range.
Wet sampling is used when the sample needs to be washed and dried. The washdown technology makes use of water, acids and/or bases to remove unwanted elements from samples and then dries the samples before weighing. Multotec's wet sampling solutions are designed to provide reliable and accurate sampling of wet slurries, concentrates, and tailings, and are ideal for use in mineral processing plants, where accurate sampling is crucial for efficient and effective operations.
Multotec's wet sampling solutions use advanced washdown technology to ensure that samples are thoroughly cleaned and free from unwanted elements. They are designed to be robust and easy to operate, even in harsh and challenging environments. Available in a range of sizes and configurations to suit different sampling requirements, they can be customised to meet specific customer requirements.
Also known as 'grab sampling', dry sampling is the most common type of sampling used in the mining industry. Samples are collected from stockpiles, dumps and stockpile faces. However, it should not be confused with a grab sample which involves collecting small pieces of rock or ore from an outcrop for examination under a microscope. Dry samplers collect larger pieces of rock or ore that have been collected using specialised tools such as pneumatic drills, hydraulic hammers and chisels attached to long handles (known as picks) or shovels with large blades on one end that have been designed specifically for this purpose.
Ancillary dry sampling is a method of sampling where the sample is dried in a furnace. The sample is then weighed and analysed. The sampling results are then used to calculate the mass of the sample. In addition to weighing and analysing the sample, ancillary dry sampling typically involves a number of other steps to ensure the accuracy and precision of the results. For example, the sample may be crushed and ground to a specific particle size before it is dried in the furnace, to ensure that the moisture content is completely removed.

The Rotary Sample Indexer is one of Multotec Australia’s samplers range that accurately divides or allocates your separate mineral samples into 4 or more different bins.
In some cases, the sample may also be homogenised or blended using a Multotec sampler like the Rotary Sample Indexer to ensure its consistency and accuracy. This is particularly important in applications such as mining and mineral processing, where the composition of the ore or material being sampled can vary widely from one location to another.
Multotec Australia offers a range of advanced sampling equipment and systems, including samplers, to help ensure that your sampling procedures are precise, efficient, and cost-effective.
Multotec Australia offers a range of samplers that are specifically designed for the sampling of trace elements in mineral processing applications. These samplers are engineered to collect precise and representative samples of slurry, which can then be analysed for the presence of valuable trace elements. These Multotec samplers utilise cutting-edge technology and high-quality materials to ensure accuracy and reliability, even in challenging processing environments.
With a focus on efficiency and ease of use, the samplers are designed to minimise the risk of contamination and ensure that the collected samples are of the highest possible quality. Overall, Multotec Australia’s trace elements samplers are an excellent choice for any company that needs to sample trace elements in its mineral processing operations.
