Used to perform reliable analysis on bituminous mixtures utilizing the perchloroethylene (PCE) or tetrachloroethylene solvent which is classified: R40 (not cancer producing*), for quantitative determination of binder or bitumen contained in pavement samples and hot mixed mixtures.

The system performs in only one complete automatic cycle：

• the washing, disaggregation and separation of the bituminous mixture

• the separation of the filler from the solution formed by solvent, bitumen and filler

• the recovery and distillation of solvent material allowing a further utilization

The unit comprises：

• An electromagnetic sieving unit, insuring high quality double vibrating action (vertical/rotational), with solvents praying cover for washing and disaggregation of the sample.

• A continuous flow filterless centrifuge having rotation speed of 11000 rpm equipped with a stainless steel beaker Ø 120mm, filler capacity approx. 400g.

• A solvent recovery unit having reclaiming capacity of 50 l/h,equipped with cooling system switching ON and OFF the unit to automatically perform the test.

• A separate control panel allows to program all these functions in a fully automatic system. It is also possible to select the manual control.

 Note：it is possible to use also the Trichloroethylene(CHC1:CC12), but as per 2001/59/CE Directive, it is classified “R45”, and therefore considered a dangerous solvent. (Toxic and cancer-producing)
