New Customers

FINDING A HAND auger or sampler should be simple but like most things, when you specialise in it, it becomes more complex. New customers/users of this type of equipment should start here so you can understand better what is shown on the rest of this website.

Don’t be concerned about asking us questions, we’re here to help you make the best decisions because a happy customer will tell others good things about us.

We have several different types of soil samplers ranging in diameters from 50mm to 100mm. We also have open spiral augers that are available in 2 main sizes, 50mm and 62mm by either 1.0M or 1.5M long and these attach to plain tubular extension rods to go incrementally deeper (friction becomes too high to have > 1.5m of continuous spiral).

We also have several other ‘shell type’ soil samplers that use a hollow tube design with different cutter styles for different soil types to incrementally sample soils and these come in a nominal 50mm or 62mm or 75mm or 100mm size. We recommend the 62mm or 75mm size because the 50mm tends to block up easily and the 100mm is bloody hard work. These ‘shell type’ sampling heads are 450mm long and are welded to a tubular shaft that make each either 1.0M or 1.5M long to create a more comfortable length to operate and to enable easier logging of depths.

Of the ‘shell type’ the SOS is the general purpose, the SA is for sand, the SON is better than the SOS in gravel, SOD je bolji u tvrdim suhim glinama i SOC je samo za meke ljepljive tla i JA je manji uzorkivač za plitko uzorkovanje,,en,Minimalni promjer naših uzorkivača reguliran je promjerom naših običnih cjevastih produžnih šipki za inkrementalno prodiranje dublje od,,en,metar duljine samog uzorkivača,,en,Naše produžne šipke izrađene su od lagane cijevi od 40 mm s muškim spojnim navojem na dnu i odgovarajućim ženskim navojem na vrhu, a mi imamo proljetni čelik Tommy Barovi,,en,prekidačima,,en,koji se ubacuju u rupice pored svakog navojnog kraja da ponište one veze s navojem,,en.

The minimum diameter of our samplers is governed by the diameter of our plain tubular extension rods used to incrementally go deeper than the 1.0 metre length of the sampler itself. Our extension rods are made from 40mm diameter lightweight tube with a male connecting thread on the bottom and a corresponding female thread at the top and we have spring steel Tommy Bars (breaker bars) that insert into holes adjacent to each threaded end to undo those threaded connections.

Kamenje ili šljunak najveći su problem za uzorkovanje ruku, jer rezanci ne mogu rezati kamenje i zbog toga moraju premjestiti svaki kamen unutar ili izvan uzorkivača, a na šljunčanim tlima postoji mnogo kamena koje uzrokuju da se rezači odbijaju od svakog kamena uzrokujući sampler koji se odbija od nekontroliranog kretanja, što znatno smanjuje penetraciju,,en,Bušilica ima snagu da drži čeljust na stabilan način i prisili kamenje, ali muškarac ne može,,en,Čak i pomoću naše motorizirane jedinice,,en,to ne riješi ovaj problem jer muškarac ne može zadržati stabilan kad udari kamenje - motorizirana jedinica ima više snage nego muškarac ili čak,,en,muškarci mogu držati tako da se mogu preseliti više od kamenja,,en.

A drill rig has the power to hold the auger steady and force the stones away but a man cannot. Even using our motorised unit, Drillmite, it does not solve this problem because a man can’t hold it steady when it hits stones – the motorised unit has more power than a man or even 2 men can hold so they can get moved more than the stones.

Snagom i ustrajnošću čovjek ga može postići, ali to može biti bitka,,en,Također imamo nekoliko veličina privitaka za Star Drill i Stone Catcher kako bismo uklonili kamenje ili ih po potrebi pulverizirali,,en,najviše vole samo preseliti rupu u nadi da će nestati kamenje,,en,različiti stilovi bušenja, a većina ih je specijalizirana za različite uvjete tla,,en,SOS je opće namjene uzorkivača tla,,en,SA je uzorkivač pijeska,,en,standardni su za čisti pijesak i teške uvjete za uklanjanje ostataka u pijesku,,en,SON je naš prethodni GP sampler i sada se preferira za teška tla,,en,SOD je za tvrde suhe glina i ima više agresivnih rezača,,en,može se koristiti na svim tlima, ali je teže okretati,,en.

We also have several sizes of Star Drill and Stone Catcher attachments to displace stones or to pulverise them where necessary, most prefer to just relocate the hole in hope of missing the stones.

Mi smo 5 different auger styles and most of them are specialised for different soil conditions:

1. SOS is a general purpose soil sampler.
2. SA is a sand sampler (standard are for clean sand and Heavy Duty for when debris in the sand).
3. SIN je sada ukinut - korištenje SOD za grubo tla.
4. SOD is for hard dry clays and has more aggressive cutters; can be used on all soils but is harder to turn.
5. SOC je sada ukinut - korištenje SA za sticky mokrim tlima.
6. JA is a short open top style sampler for shallow sampling (less than 1m deep).
7. SP is an open spiral auger more commonly used to drill holes or to penetrate hard layers.

We also have some other specialised samplers for undisturbed samples or wet sediment sampling.

See more info and pictures of these under “Proizvodi” on the website menu bar and on each page look for more links for more detail. Our prices are under “Cjenik” on the menu bar and on that page is also an order form if needed or just email us a list so we can do a quote.

Također imamo nesmetano uzorkovanje i uzorkovanje sedimenta i pribor s mogućnošću odabira različitih ručica,,en,standardnih obojenih čelika ili pribora,,en,nositi torbe ili kutije za alat i različite šipke za produženje,,en,aluminijum,,en,čelik ili nehrđajući čelik,,en (standard painted steel or ratchet types), carry bags or tool boxes and different Extension rods (aluminium, steel or stainless steel).
