We have years of experience designing and constructing sampler buildings, among other types of structures.
When you produce any type of grain, part of the process involves sampling it to assess the quality and characteristics. Failing to go through the sampling process can result in poor-quality products being sold to customers and others who purchase them. At Merritt Mechanical Fabrication, we understand the importance of each step in the production process. We work closely with farmers and agricultural business owners to provide a range of solutions, including the design and construction of sampler buildings.
This type of structure is often placed near the other facilities used in the production process. Within sampler buildings, sampling takes place, a process that removes a small amount of the crop for testing. Since the contents of any particular batch of a crop can vary widely in condition, appearance, and quality, taking regular samples from each load is an essential step in ensuring that everything provided to customers is acceptable. Having a designated place to perform this step ensures a seamless, efficient sampling process. Additionally, those working within the building have easy access to the equipment used to sample crops.
We have years of experience designing and constructing sampler buildings, among other types of structures. Our technicians understand the unique needs of those in the agricultural industry, and we can apply our extensive knowledge when providing a range of services. In addition to constructing sampler buildings, we can assist with farm equipment fabrication and crop handling systems.

Hidden
What types of crops can I use sampler buildings for?
Our sampler buildings are commonly used for bulk crops, especially grains like wheat, barley, corn, soybeans, and peanuts. These crops require sampling for quality checks during harvesting, storage, and before sale.
Can I customize my sampler building?
Absolutely. We work closely with customers to create structures that align with their operations and meet their practical needs, and we’ll help you ensure the design is exactly what your farm needs.
Do your sampler buildings house just the equipment, or do they also provide sampling space?
Our sampler buildings can do both, providing ample space to store all your sampling equipment as well as a place to access and operate said equipment. Common components include automatic samplers, conveyor systems, and storage space for collected samples.
How large should my sampler building be?
That will depend on the size of your operation, including the amount of crops being handled, how much equipment you use, and how many personnel need to safely use the space. We can help you assess your operational needs and recommend sampler buildings that provide ample room to handle your processes, as well as room for growth if that is a goal.
What features should I prioritize in my sampler building design and construction?
We recommend that all customers consider the workflow efficiency, ease of access for farm equipment (including trucks and bins), lighting and ventilation, and space to store the samples.
