Asphalt Mixers

Asphalt mixers are necessary to produce large and homogeneous batches of asphalt mix, ready to be compacted with an asphalt compactor and tested with a range of mechanical asphalt testers. All asphalt mixers include a heating system allowing the binder to reach optimal viscosity during the mixing process. BITUMIX automatic mixer also includes a motorized mixing container allowing easy downloading thus minimizing the operator contact with the hot mix.

Automatic Laboratory Mixer BITUMIX

The mixer consists in a horizontal stainless steel mixing container with helical mixing shaft.

Standards EN 12697-35

Automatic asphalt laboratory mixer BITUMIX
Description
 
The design and testing of bituminous mixtures includes various laboratory tests such as the Marshall stability (EN 12697-34), Gyratory compaction (EN 12697-31), Slabs laboratory compaction (EN 12697-33) to prepare specimens for Wheel tracking (EN 12697-22) and Determination of stiffness including Beam fatigue testing (EN 12697-26, EN 13108). To produce samples for performing the above tests, it is essential that the preparation of a bituminous mixture is carried out at a reference temperature and a limited time period in order to reduce mechanical degradation of the aggregates. The mixer shall also be capable of entirely coating all mineral substances in not more than 5 minutes as stated by EN 12697-35. The mixer consists essentially in a horizontal stainless steel mixing container with helical mixing shaft. The container is thermally insulated and comes complete with heating element and probe sensor which provide uniform temperature control. The container can be easily tilted by the electric motor for the unloading operation. The control panel includes: a digital display to monitor mixing temperature, a digital thermo-regulator, a mixing speed controller and various commands. The Bitumix mixer can be used as part of your Superpave performance based testing program

Laboratory Planetary Mixers

Robust table mounted units with planetary mixing action.

Standards EN 12697-35

16-B0075/B with Isomantle heater 16-B0075/HM
Description
 
Robust table mounted units with planetary mixing action. The bowl and whisk can be easily fit and removed from the mixer. When lifting the transparent cover, a safety switch cuts off the mixer for the operator safety as prescribed by CE. The planetary action ensures a complete and uniform mixing of the materials. For mixing asphalt samples, the mixers have to be fit with the suitable Isomantle heater (see accessories. Supplied complete with whisk. These mixers can also be used for other application as, for instance, for mixing subbase soil samples. The planetary mixer can be used as part of your Superpave performance based testing program.
Main Features
 
  • Completely electromechanically operated
  • Conforming to ASTM D8079
  • 8” touchscreen controlled
  • Automatically compacts in displacement controlled mode up to target density/height or up to the (user selectable) load limit
  • Mould dimensions: 500 x 400, 500 x 300, 400 x 300, 300 x 300 and 320 x 260 mm, 195 mm height
  • Compaction direction in the longest (major) mould dimension to obtain specimens of the proper length conforming to Standard
  • Vertical balanced of sliding cover for easy access and complete three side view
  • Maximum compaction load 30 kN
  • User defined controlled linear speed up to 300 mm/sec and adjustable pause at the mould inversion point
  • Ideal for producing test beams for 4-Point bending (EN 12697-24, EN 12697-26, AASHTO T321) and slabs down to 38 mm
  • Adjustable heating control system of the sector heads available as option
  • Vibrating roller option, adjustable from 10 to 50 Hz
  • *PRO-COMPACT closed-loop control slab
*PRO-COMPACT closed-loop is an innovative mechanical and electronic control that combines orthogonality of the load, pendulum motion of the head and sinusoidal non-friction forward-reverse carriage movement. This results in an optimally compacted sample that features Planarity Regularity and hOmogeneity (PRO). The software is able to combine a load/displacement compaction. This procedure provides at the beginning of the test a controlled displacement compaction, which can grant a flat surface of the compacted slab, followed by a load compaction phase, which can replicate the real compaction on the road surface.
