Soft seabed:
For soft bottom samples, you might need the orange
peel system to prevent the sample from exiting the
tube. Can only be used with model 13.030 (Quick
change) as it will only fit into stainless steel tube,
model 13.533.

When the sampling has been finished, you can seal it
for later research by inserting rubber bungs at each
end of the tube.
IMPORTANT
Smear the rubber bung with a thin layer of silicone
grease before use.
Ejecting the sample
10
After raising the corer, dismount the carver and the
orange peel system. Take out the internal acrylic or PP
tube.
For later analysis, you can secure the samples with
rubber bungs or caps at the tube’s end(s).
For ejecting the sample into smaller parts, adjust the
small crossbar accordingly.
Due to small variations in the inside diameter of the
pipe, it may be necessary to adjust the nut at the end
of the piston. Check regularly that the nut does not
come loose, so the steel bar may fall off.
