The Asphalt binder analyzer consists essentially of a high precision apparatus combining a ignition oven to a continuous weighing system to monitor the loss of weight of the asphalt sample and to automatically determine, at the end of the test, the binder content and percentage. The Analyzer is supplied complete with double sample basket/safety cover, extraction fork and 3 meters of metal exhaust pipe. An independently controlled auxiliary afterburner chamber significantly reduces the furnace emissions.

 

Main Features:

Full automatic test cycle with simultaneous display of all test parameters, including weight loss and %

PID closed loop temperature control

High quality stainless steel internal chamber

Built in weighing system

Test time reduced to 30-40 minutes

Test performance menu comprising the simultaneous display of all test data

High efficiency heating system with additional afterburner for complete combustion of exhaust fumes.
