PAVELAB50 PRO Automatic Closed-system Asphalt Analyzer
PAVELAB50 PRO is the most advanced system for automatic separation and extraction of bitumen, filler, and aggregates from asphalt samples by use of solvents. It delivers high-precision quantitative determinations of bitumen in asphalt mix for specification acceptance, service evaluation, control, and research.
These tests methods are used for quantitative determinations of bitumen in hot-mixed paving mixtures and paving samples for specification acceptance, service evaluation, control and research. They prescribe the solvent or solvents that can be used for the binder extraction and recovery.
The representative bitumen sample can be used to perform other tests such as penetration, softening point, etc.. Aggregates, including filler, are also separated and remain available for sample grading.
PAVELAB50 Automatic Closed-System Asphalt Analyzer consists of:
Machine body: steel sheet, powder coated with epoxy resin. Wheel mounted.
Washing chamber: high quality stainless steel fitted with ultrasonic equipMent, heating system, driving device for the rotation of the washing drum, valves, connections, etc.
Washing drum (separate accessory): Lined with three layer sinthered, high resistance screening mesh, 0.063 or 0.075 or 0.090 mm opening. This unit includes seating, support and closing ring for the cover. Each model should be fitted with the appropriate cover (see Accessories).
Centrifuge: high speed centrifuge for 120 mm diameter cup, complete with safety switch.
Condenser: Stainless steel tank complete with cooling coil for condensation of solvent vapour during the drying operation.
Forced air circulation pump: for drying aggregate and filler.
Recovery/distillation unit: double chamber, one used as a reservoir. The distillation chamber comprises a base and upper heater providing solvent recovery up to approx. 30 litres/hour, and cooling coils above the chamber incorporated in the cover. Both chambers are fitted with drain valves.
Sampling device for Rotary evaporation: a fast connection for the Rotary evaporator flask for bitumen solution collection is also available. See Accessories 75-PV5X100.
7″ Touchscreen control panel: for controlling and operating the machine.
Balance option: for the accurate measurement of asphalt samples model 75-PV50A25 only).
