About Centrifuge Extractor Hand Operated
Centrifuge Extractor Hand Operated
This is used for a quantitative determination of bitumen in hot-mixed paving mixtures and pavement samples. The centrifuge extractor is a safe, portable, corrosion-resistant model, which can be used both in the field and the laboratory it consists of removable cast aluminium rotor bowl mounted on a vertical shaft. A filter paper disc is pressed in between the rotor bowl and cover plate by a knurled nut. The bowl assembly is enclosed in a housing mounted on a cast aluminium body The gears operate in oil bath with splash lubrication. Complete with 25 filter discs.The motor drive gives 3500 r.p.m. to the rotor bowl. Operation on 230 Volts Single Phase, 50 cycles. A.C. supply. Reliable Bitumen ExtractionThis hand-operated centrifuge extractor efficiently separates bitumen from paving mixes, making it essential for quality control in road construction and laboratory applications. Its robust powder-coated finish and cast iron body ensure long-lasting durability, while variable speed control allows precise extraction tailored to your sample needs.
User-Friendly and Safe DesignWith an ergonomic hand-crank, lockable safety cover, and detachable components, the extractor prioritizes operator comfort and safety. Maintenance is simplified by easy cleaning features, and the secure lockable lid provides peace of mind during operation, reducing potential for spills and contamination.
