MATEST [B003] Asphalt Mix Analyzer

ASPHALT MIX ANALYZER AUTOMATIC CLOSED-LOOP SYSTEM

STANDARD : ASTM D2172 | EN 12697-1

Code : B003

The Asphalt Mix Analyzer (AMA) is an innovative device capable of combining all the processes associated with bitumen extraction and recovery.

The unit has been designed for the purpose of determining the bitumen content in asphalt mixture and it is the best solution to analyse andcharacterize the properties of the reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP).

Through the use of solvent selectable from perchloroethylene or trichloroethylene*, the final result of the process is the separation of aggregates and filler from bitumen in order to verify the quality of the recovered granular materials and determine the mineral skeleton of the mixture. On the other hand, the bitumen can be separated from the remaining solvent solution by rotary evaporation in order to make the binder available for further analysis such as DSR, DTT and BBR according to Performance Grade and conventional bitumen tests such as penetration, ductility, softening point among others

Note*: The unit is supplied without the solvent that has to be purchased independently.
