Kajak Corer
A quick-change sediment core sampler based on the Kajak design, operated by line or by hand to depths up to 4 m (6 m with extensions).
The Kajak Corer is a quick-change sediment core sampler that can be used as a line-operated as well as a hand-operated sampler. Its quick-change system speeds up the changing of corer tubes — very useful when a large number of samples is needed. Manufactured from AISI 316 stainless steel.
Key Features
- Operates via line or hand insertion to depths up to 4 m
- Accommodates acrylic or stainless-steel corer tubes (standard 60/52 mm, optional 80/72 mm)
- Internal polypropylene liners available for sample storage
- Orange-peel closing system (core catcher) prevents sample loss
- Adjustable piston rods enable sample extraction from acrylic tubes
- Lead weights enhance penetration into harder sediments
- Extension shafts (AISI 316) allow hand operation up to 6 m maximum depth
Applications
- Undisturbed sediment core sampling in lakes, rivers and coastal waters
- Limnological and hydrological research
- Rapid, repeated sampling campaigns thanks to the quick-change tube system
