SEEDBURO GRAIN PROBES

The first essential step in grain grading is to obtain a correct and representative sample. Cars, trucks, wagons or barge loads should be sampled with a double tube probe in five or more places.

Also used for plastics, Seedburo probes are made to conform to USDA specifications. They are constructed from extra heavy gauge tubing for durable, time-tested sampling. All probes on this page have an outside diameter of 1-3/8", are of double-tube construction and have a heavy bronze point (unless otherwise stated).

Openings are 3-3/8" L x 7/8" W.

PARTITIONED GRAIN PROBE WITH WOODEN HANDLE

Partitioned grain probes are used by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and by all grain inspectors. There is a separate compartment for each individual opening.  Samples from these probes can be emptied on a grain sampling canvas.

Open-ended probes without partitions are more convenient to empty and are widely used by the grain elevator operators for obtaining samples from truck loads. After sample is obtained, probe is held upright and sample is dumped from the handle.

OPEN-HANDLED SPIRAL GRAIN PROBE

 The openings on the inside tube rotate around so that it opens first at the bottom and then in gradual steps to the top. This assures a fair proportion of grain samples from the bottom levels as well as from the top.

The Spiral Probe is highly recommended for sampling grains when foreign material is apt to be heaviest near the bottom of a truck. The construction of the probe is a double-tube brass with a 1 3/8" outside diameter and heavy bronze point.
