Patented Ausdrill Auto Sampler | Raising the Bar for Safety and Sampling Precision

Ausdrill’s Auto Sampler is changing how grade control samples are collected and handled in the field. This patented system eliminates the need for a worker to manually sample at the cyclone, significantly reducing exposure to air contaminants, dust, noise, and adverse weather.

By automating the process and integrating RayTrac RFID technology, the Auto Sampler allows for fully traceable, contactless sampling, improving safety, sample integrity, and cost-efficiency across operations.

Why the Auto Sampler is a Game Changer

Safety First: Operators no longer need to work near high-risk zones. Sampling happens automatically, reducing exposure to dust, weather, and machinery.

Real-Time Tracking: RFID tags follow each sample from extraction to client delivery, ensuring full transparency and data integrity.

Integrated Performance: The Auto Sampler seamlessly connects to Ausdrill’s Rock Commander and exploration rigs, delivering hands-free efficiency from drill to database.

Labour Efficiency: With automation handling repetitive sampling tasks, fewer people are required at the rig, allowing shifts to focus on productivity and value-add work.

Award-Winning Innovation

The Auto Sampler has earned multiple industry awards for its contribution to mining safety and innovation, including:

🏆 2021 Work Health & Safety Excellence Awards – Invention of the Year (with BHP)

🥈 2020 BHP HSEC Awards – Merit Award for Safety

🎖 2020 BHP HSEC Innovation Awards – Finalist
