By applying the bi-partite root auger almost undisturbed, uniform soil samples can be taken in layers of maximal 15 cm. The bi-partite root auger consists of a bottom part fitted with an exchangeable drilling-crown and a short unscrewable top part (handle) with a beating head.
In lighter soil, the auger can be pushed and turned into the soil. In heavier soils, an impact-absorbing hammer can be used.
In the standard set, an Edelman- and a Riverside auger have been included for reaming out the borehole and levelling the bottom (making it even). A conical threaded connection is used.
The root auger is fitted with a sample extruder unit which forces the soil sample from the cylinder of the auger. The extruder unit is operated by means of a crank handle.
The complete root auger set, including all accessories, is packaged in an aluminium transport case.

Benefits bi-partite root auger
- Takes root samples of all non-stony soil layers
- Can be hammered
- Sharp hardened and exchangeable cutting ring
- Incorporated sample extruder
Applications
- Research to determine the possibilities to develop a root system and to determine the depth and the density of the root system.
- The root auger can be used in virtually all types of soil.
- Compound manure sampling. By applying extension rods the auger can be used to a depth of approximately 2 meters.
