The Burkle ProfiSampler Aluminium is an industrial vacuum sampler designed for collecting liquid samples from barrels, tanks, trucks, railway tank cars, ships and other difficult-to-access locations. Built for demanding industrial environments, it provides a practical solution for collecting liquid samples while reducing direct contact between the sample and the sampling equipment.
Designed for sampling non-aggressive liquids, including flammable liquids, the ProfiSampler features electrically conductive components and includes a grounding cable for use in appropriate applications. Its 8 mm diameter suction hose can reach narrow sampling areas, while the vacuum system draws liquid directly into the attached sample bottle.
The sampler is supplied with a 500 mL glass sample bottle, five electrically conductive suction hoses, a brass hose weight, grounding cable and additional accessories.
When sampling flammable liquids, the ProfiSampler must be properly grounded before use to reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge and ignition. Follow the applicable safety procedures for the liquid being sampled, including appropriate protective equipment and ventilation.
The sampler is not suitable for aggressive acids or alkalis. Always verify chemical compatibility before use and consult the manufacturer's instructions.

The Burkle ProfiSampler Aluminium is supplied as a complete sampling set with the following components:
| Component | Quantity | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminium ProfiSampler | 1 | Vacuum pump with supporting frame, venting valve and GL 45 bottle connection |
| Glass sample bottle | 1 | 500 mL, GL 45 thread, with closure |
| Conductive PA suction hoses | 5 | Black, 220 cm long |
| Brass hose weight | 1 | Helps stabilise the suction hose during sampling |

| Hose cutter | 1 | For cutting suction hose to the required length |
| Seal-it bottle seals | 20 | For sealing sample bottles |
| Additional components | As supplied | Clamping screw, EPDM O-ring and instruction manual |
The ProfiSampler uses a manually operated vacuum pump to draw liquid through the suction hose and into the attached sample bottle. The sample comes into contact with the suction hose and collection bottle, helping reduce the risk of cross-contamination between samples when suitable clean tubing and bottles are used.
Always follow the supplied instruction manual and the safety procedures applicable to the liquid being sampled.
The ProfiSampler Aluminium is suitable for collecting liquid samples from a range of industrial and environmental locations, including:
The sampler uses different materials for its pump assembly and liquid-contact components.
| Component | Material |
|---|---|
| Pump head, cylinder and frame | Aluminium |
| Suction hose | Electrically conductive polyamide (PA) |
| Sample bottle | Glass |
| Head gasket | EPDM |
| Hose weight | Brass / nickel-plated brass |
Check the chemical resistance of all wetted materials against the liquid being sampled before use. The manufacturer specifically states that the ProfiSampler is not suitable for aggressive acids or alkalis.

Yes. The ProfiSampler Aluminium is designed for sampling flammable liquids and is specified by the manufacturer for explosion groups IIA, IIB and IIC. Its conductive components and included grounding cable are important parts of this application. The equipment must be properly grounded before use, and all applicable safety procedures must be followed.
The maximum suction depth is 5 m, according to the manufacturer's specifications.
The manufacturer specifies a maximum viscosity of 500 mPa·s.
The sampler includes a 500 mL glass sample bottle with a GL 45 thread. Additional compatible bottles are available in 100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL and 1,000 mL capacities.
No. The manufacturer specifically advises against using the ProfiSampler with aggressive acids and alkalis. Always check the chemical resistance of the wetted materials before sampling.
No. It is intended for sampling applications and is not designed for continuous operation.
