FAQs of Centrifuge Extractor :
Q: How is bitumen extracted using the Centrifuge Extractor?
A: Bitumen is extracted by placing the sample in the stainless steel bowl with filter papers, then spinning it at selected speeds (up to 3600 rpm). Centrifugal force separates the bitumen from aggregates, collecting the extracted sample for subsequent analysis.
Q: What types of samples can be tested with this extractor?
A: This centrifuge extractor is primarily designed for bitumen and asphalt mixtures, making it suitable for road construction and quality control laboratories to determine asphalt content.
Q: When should you use a centrifugal extractor over alternative extraction methods?
A: Choose this device when a rapid, accurate, and clean separation of bitumen from aggregates is necessary. Its controlled centrifugal process and precision digital RPM display offer superior consistency compared to gravimetric or chemical methods.
Q: Where can the Centrifuge Extractor be used?
A: The device is suitable for use in quality control laboratories, research settings, and field labs where asphalt content testing is essential. Its compact dimensions and robust build make it versatile for various environments.
Q: What safety features are included in the design?
A: Safety is enhanced with a safety interlock system for the bowl, preventing operation if the bowl is not securely locked. The design minimizes operator risk and ensures compliance with standard laboratory safety protocols.
Q: How do you maintain optimal performance of the extractor?
A: Regularly inspect the belt drive, keep the stainless steel bowl clean, and ensure filter papers are properly fitted. Routine maintenance of the quick-release mechanism and digital RPM checker preserves efficiency and extends service life.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this centrifuge extractor?
A: Key benefits include highly accurate readings (0.15%), user safety, straightforward operation, and durable construction. Its noise level below 70 dB and energy-efficient 0.33 HP motor enhance user comfort and productivity during repeated tests.
