GYRATORY COMPACTOR (A-825)

Description

ASTM D6925 • EN 12697-10 • EN 12697-31 • AASHTO T312

• Used to simulate and reproduce the real compaction conditions under actual road paving operations, hence determining the compaction properties of the asphalt.
• Such compaction is achieved in a fully automatic way, by combining the rotary action and the vertical resultant force applied by a Mekanik head. The Compactor comprises a highly rigid steel Gövde ensuring excellent angle control.
• Load is applied by an electro-pneumatic cylinder, servo-controlled by a precision pressure regulator; the height is measured by a linear transducer. Gyratory motion is generated by an eccentric high precision system allowing an easy set up with precision and constant angle of gyration.
• The rotation speed is controlled by an inverter through on board computer control.
• Using the proper perforated mould, the Compactor is able to run tests also on cold emulsified asphalt mix.
• The acquired results are also employed in the investigation of volumetric and Mekanik characteristics of the asphalt mix.
• The touch-screen icon interface allows an easy set up of the parameters and an immediate automatic execution of the test, data acquisition andprocessing,
  graphics and file. A remote test control is available trough a dedicated software, provided in bundle.
