The automatic N2012 soil sampler from Bodenprobetechnik Peters GmbH (formerly Nietfeld) is built for 10-30 cm sampling and excels in routine professional surveys.
Drilling mechanism
The drilling system works gently across different soil types and prevents unwanted compaction of the extracted material, which keeps mixed samples accurate and repeatable.
Electrical system
N2012 is a fully electric 24 V DC drilling platform rated for depths up to 30 cm. It provides a simple, fast, and cost-effective way to obtain reliable soil cores.
Power and charging
The sampler runs from a 38 Ah battery that remains on charge while operating. It requires an auxiliary drive from the carrier vehicle, but the battery absorbs load peaks and stores enough energy for a full working day.
Control
An intuitive one-button controller with counter lets the operator trigger each punch from the driver seat.
Low noise
N2012 operates with very low noise, making it ideal for mounting on ATVs or other light vehicles.
Carrier setups
The unit can be installed on small 4x4s or lightweight trailers such as the dedicated AH2, ensuring mobility in diverse field conditions.
N2012 is therefore an efficient, reliable, and easy-to-use solution for professional soil sampling, combining solid technical specs with effortless handling.
Key advantages:
- Fully automatic
