About Centrifuge Extractor
Centrifuge Extractor Centrifuge Extractor (Motorised)Used for the determination of bitumen percentage in bituminous mixtures. It consists of a removable, precision machined aluminium rotor bowl (accessory 1500 or 3000 g capacity), housed in a cylindrical aluminium box. The separate control panel incorporates an electronic card fitted with AC drive that automatically drives the bowl speed rotation ramp from 0 to 3600 R.P.M. as requested by Standards, with automatic fast stop bowl rotation at the end of the test. Supplied complete with speed regulator and digital display monitoring the frequency. Power supply: 230 V A.C. Single Phase.
Precision Extraction for Bituminous TestingEngineered for accuracy and durability, this centrifuge extractor guarantees reliable bitumen content analysis in asphalt and related materials. The digital speed controller and 0.01 g resolution make it ideal for quality control in road construction laboratories. Its robust build and safety-focused features streamline the extraction process to deliver consistent, repeatable results.
Safety and Efficiency in Every CycleThe lockable cover, interlocking device, and semi-automatic controls promote a safe and user-friendly laboratory environment. The stainless steel spinning bowl and digital monitoring enable fast, thorough separation, achieving extraction cycles in just 1015 minutes. Cleaning and sample handling are further facilitated by the removable bowl and integrated solvent drain.
