Product information

Maximum power to 200 cm. Automatic control of sampling speed and a high-frequency hammer for representative, homogeneous samples.

The Wintex MCL3 is a strong, powerful sampler chosen by ministries of agriculture, national research institutes and leading contractors in many European countries for the work of complying with the EU Nitrates Directive 91/676/EEC.

Its probe has a specially designed tip for representative, homogeneous samples at full depth, and it has become the leading sampler for 1.20 m and 2 m. A special valve sets the maximum speed for the soil automatically, so there is nothing to adjust by hand.

200 cm
Samples to 200 cm.
