The trays for rock chips and cuttings are suitable for:

  • RC-Chips (Reverse Circulation)
  • Cuttings from exploration drilling
  • Percussion Drill Samples
  • Rock chips and rock fragments
  • granular soil and rock samples

The sturdy plastic construction is suitable for field of use, UV exposure , as well as for sample management in the laboratory. The systematic pockets allows for a clear interval mapping and supports a clean documentation in the logging process.

Percussion, impact or hammer drill samples are rock and soil samples, which are obtained through percussion drilling. In this case, the material is crushed by a percussion (chisel or Hammer) and by means of rinsing or pressure air is transported to the surface. This method is often used in Geology, mining for Exploration of mineral deposits (e.g., Nickel, cobalt) and in the subsoil information . 

These chip trays are suitable for both field work and laboratory processes , and offers a sturdy, weather-resistant and durable solution for the child sample storage in the professional exploration and analysis of the area.

Product description of the Chip Tray

The Bohrprobenbox was in accordance with high quality standards and is characterized by the following properties:

  • UV-stabilized Material: Made of high quality polypropylene with UV Stabilizer, what a long service life, even in the case of outdoor use makes.
  • Compact dimensions: With a length of approx. 50.5 cm, width of 5 cm and a height of 3-3,5 cm (with lid) is, the Box is ideal for mobile use in the field.
  • Safe sample management: The 20 compartments, approx. a 2.5-cm to ensure an orderly separation and easy identification of sample intervals.
  • Loss-free storage: The cover is one piece molding with a 5-safe snap elements run to the slipping or Mixing of the samples to prevent.
  • Versatile application: Suitable for RC drilling, geological field samples, laboratory analysis, environmental studies, and geotechnical projects.

Key Benefits

Efficient Sample Organization

Due to the uniform distribution in 20 subjects each sample is clearly labeled and documented to be associated with – ideal for structured analysis and field reports.

Durable & weather resistant

Thanks to UV-stabilization and high-quality polypropylene is the sample container for holes in both free as well as laboratory environments, ideally suited for intensive use and changing weather conditions.

Secure protection of the samples

The lid design prevents the Mixing or Lose of samples during Transport or storage.

Easy & mobile

With a weight of only about 155 g is the chip sample box easy to carry and is especially suitable for field work and exploration campaigns.


Typical application areas of the sample container for drilling

  • Geological Exploration and RC holes
  • Geotechnical Investigations
  • Environmental analysis
  • Laboratory Sample Management
  • Field Logging and data recording

This chip tray meets the demands of professionals in the mining, environmental engineering and research alike.
