Bitumen – Asphalt 30

B005 Asphalt content furnace ignition method

Standards ASTM 6037 -AASHTO TP53 - NCAT (National Centre for Asphalt Technology) BS (DD)

The unit provides asphalt content of bituminous paving mixtures accurate to 0.11%, with a fast accurate,
environmentally friendly and cost effective method of determining asphalt content ignition method and reduces
testing time when compared to solvent extraction. A 1200 -1800 g sample of asphalt can be tested in 30 - 45
minutes using this content furnace. Unit can accommodate samples up to 5000 g.

The furnace has an internal scale, that automatically monitors the sample weight throughout the ignition process,
saving valuable technician time and increasing productivity in the lab. The ignition method replaces the costly and
time consuming solvent extraction method by eliminating the primary cost of solvent purchase and the secondary cost
of solvent disposal.

The content furnace eliminates the exposure of the asphalt technician to harmful solvents. The automatic door lock
feature prevents opening the chamber door during the critical test time. This feature provides operator safety and
helps ensure testing integrity. This content furnace is the only system on the market containing a high temperature
afterburner used in conjunction with a patented ceramic filter to reduce the emissions of the ignition process by up to
95%. Our system has the capability to accept positive or negative correction factors for use with mixes containing
hydrated lime.

This unique furnace automatically detects endpoint within 0,1 % of the sample weight. Furnace software allows you
to choose between automatic and manual test mode. In the automatic mode, the endpoint is detected; the software
ends the test, prints out the results and beeps. In the manual mode, the endpoint is detected; the unit begins to beep
but will continue to test until the user presses "stop" to end it. Once the "stop" button has been pressed, the door will
unlock and the results will be printed. Furnace software automatically compensates for weight change due to sample
and basket assembly temperature change. This compensation is computed for each sample load tested, unlike
competitive models that assign a fixed number to a given range of load sizes. An RS 232 port provides data interface
with personal computer for graphical data analysis. The furnace is supplied with 4 baskets, 2 trays, 2 covers, handle,
cooling cage, insulated plate, gloves, face shield, 4 rolls of printer tape, overall dimensions 552x654x933 mm.
Chamber dimensions 355x355x355 mm, 220/240 V, 50 Hz, 4800 W, 20 Amp, temperature range 200-650°C, weight

B008 Automatic binder extraction unit

Standards CNR A.VII No 38 - DIN 1996 - ASTM D 2172
Used to perform reliable analysis on bituminous mixtures utilizing non-flammable, non-explosion solvents, for
quantitative determination of binder or bitumen contained in pavement samples and hot mixtures. The system
performs in only one complete automatic cycle: the washing desegregation and separation of the bituminous
mixture; the separation of the filler from the solution formed by solvent bitumen and filler; the recovery and
distillation of solvent material allowing a further utilization. This unit, in a short time, performs out a series of
analysis that normally require a long time and labour, by reducing extraction costs. Furthermore, the system largely
reduces the emission of toxic fumes in the laboratory and avoids the manipulation of solvents to the operator. The
unit comprise: an electromagnetic sieving unit ensuring high quality double vibrating action (vertical/centrifugal )
and suitable to accept up to 8 sieves Ø 200 mm, height 50 mm. The unit is foreseen with solvent spraying cover for
washing and desegregation of the sample. The sieving unit is mounted over the centrifugal unit and the washing
solution is directly poured into the rotating beaker of the centrifuge, a continuous flow filter less centrifuge having
a rotation speed of 11000 rpm equipped with a stainless steel beaker Ø 120 mm, filler capacity approx. 400 g for a
very fast and accurate extraction. The residual solution is directly poured into the solvent recovery unit, a solvent
recovery unit having reclaiming capacity of approx. 50 1/h, equipped with cooling system with switching ON/OFF
device. The unit is for automatically perform the test. The recovery unit is additionally equipped with devices for
automatic controls and alarms of the functions, promptly signaling any anomaly or failure allowing the operator a
quick intervention without altering the test. A separate control panel allows to program all these functions in a
fully automatic system. It is also possible to select the manual function allowing to activate each specific function
previously analyzed.
