The Duoprob 60-UP is a soil sampling device in the "percussion systems" category designed for sampling up to a depth of 60 cm. There are two application options available:
With layer separation, and
Without layer separation.
In the program with layer separation, known as the "60cm-N-min program," the drill rod is driven 75 cm deep into the ground using a hydraulic impact mechanism, then rotated by 100 degrees and pulled out. During the pulling up, the first horizon of the soil sample (0-30 cm) is emptied into container I of the magazine. By laterally shifting the magazine container, the second horizon of the sample (30-60 cm) is then emptied into container II. The remaining 15 cm of auger content serves as a plug and is discarded.
The programs without layer separation are used to take standard samples, 0-10 cm for grassland, and 0-30 cm for arable land. In these programs, it is possible to take two mixed samples of 15 punctures one after the other, and then empty the magazine containers in one operation.
The desired program is selected using a program selector switch on the control cabinet. The DP60-UP is operated with a wired control panel featuring functions like EMERGENCY STOP, trigger puncture, cancel puncture, and counter.
