Manual Binder Extraction Systems - Cold Method

75-B2212, 75-B2312
Centrifuges are the most common binder extraction method, not requiring the heating of the solvent. Centrifuges are compatible with a wide range of chlorinated solvents, such as TCE and PERC. Special explosion-proof versions are available when flammable solvents are needed. High-speed filter-less centrifuge are then used to perform filler separation from the solvent solution.

Centrifuge Binder Extractors

The centrifuges are used for the determination of bitumen percentage in bituminous mixtures.

Standards EN 12697-1 ASTM D2172 AASHTO T164-A

75-B2212, 75-B2312
Description
 
The centrifuges are used for the determination of bitumen percentage in bituminous mixtures. All models comprise a removable precision-machined rotor bowl housed in a cylindrical aluminium box. They are driven by an electric motor fit with AC drive (inverter) with the double function of speed control up to 3600 r.p.m. regardless of the frequency (50 or 60 Hz) and electrical braking. The centrifuge can be set for the automatic speed ramp up to 3600 r.p.m. or to any intermediate speed by the front knob. A digital display monitors the frequency, which is proportional to the speed. The rotating unit is suspended on the base by four calibrated springs, which assure a perfect stability all over the test. The cover is precisely machined and fit with solvent resistant gasket to avoid leakages. All models are fit, for emergency use, by a hand brake system. The control panel includes: Start/Stop button, speed control knob, and digital display. Two capacities and two versions available:
  • Standard 1500 and 3000 g cap. (75-B2212,75-2214; 75-B2312,75-2314)
  • Explosion proof 1500 and 3000 g cap. (75-B2222; 75-B2322)
The standard models can be upgraded with an electromagnetic system to prevent the opening of the cover during rotation. This option (see code 75-B2210/UP1) is applicable on standard models only and has to be factory installed. All centrifuges are supplied complete with 100 filter discs. All centrifuges can fit different capacity spare bowls (75-B0022/2 and 75-B0023/2)

Filterless Centrifuge Binder Extractors

Used for filterless separation of filler from binder solution coming from solvent extractors.

Standards EN 12697-1 ASTM D2172

75-B0024/N with sieves
Description
 
Used for rapid filterless separation of filler (ash) from binder solution coming, for instance, from wire mesh extractor model 75-B0015. The centrifuge can also be used for binder recovery from an asphalt sample previously disgregated in solvent and poured into the funnel fit with 200 mm dia. test sieves to separate gradually the aggregates. The test is carried out by pouring the solvent from the top funnel into the rotating aluminium cup. Due to the centrifugal effect, the liquid spreads on the wall and moves upwards, leaving mineral particles in the cup whilst the liquid is discharged outside through the outlet tubing. A special electronic circuit provides for a preset controlled ramp which gradually increases the speed to the maximum. Two models available: 75-B0024/N for filler extraction up to 100 g per test, fit with 70 mm dia. cup and 75-B0024/B for filler extraction up to 400 g per test, fit with 122 mm dia. cup. The 75-B0024/N, NY and NZ versions do not include sieves which have to be ordered separately, conforming to EN standard. See accessories. The cup should be internally lined with paper for a better and complete removal of filler. See accessories: 75-B0005/2. The solvent used can be profitably recovered with the solvent recovery unit.
Main Features
 
  • High speed with continuous flow
  • Filterless method assures complete filler recovery
  • Automatic ramp and pre-set speed control
  • Up to 100 g or 400 g can be extracted per test
