Bitumen content furnace by ignition method

The binder content of bituminous mixtures is one of the main properties related to the behavior of the pavement.

In particular, it affects the pavement’s tendency to permanent deformation, fatigue life, and susceptibility to moisture damage. Therefore, measurement of this property is of fundamental importance for quality control (QC), quality assurance (QA), and for research purposes.

In this context, the ignition method can determine the binder content with high precision, offering a valid alternative to solvent extraction methods.

It is a unit with:

• An independently controlled afterburner with exhaust fan and vent reduces emissions.
• Safety systems to ensure that the oven door remains closed during the test and that the heating elements are deactivated at any time if the door is opened.
• Cyber ​​Plus Progress: 7” color touch screen with smart interface.

The analysis can be performed on a sample weighing a maximum of 5 kg and most tests are completed within 20 to 45 minutes (depending on the size of the aggregates).

Supplied complete with 2 sample baskets with holders, hot sample safety guard, sample basket loading handle, printer paper rolls, calibration plate and protective mask. Gloves must be ordered separately.
