Gyratory Compactor

Key Features

• Automatic mould insertion and retraction on side table which allows cooling time before extraction without loss of compaction time (especially important for rubberized asphalt)
• 150mm and 100mm internal Ø moulds can be tested without changing parts
• Cold mix (emulsion) materials can be compacted and the expelled fluid collected
• Ethernet connection for data acquisition and control system 
• User friendly LabVIEWTM software displays results in real time
• Machine calibrated with traceable equipment
• Option for mould up to 300mm high

• Compaction of asphaltic paving material to a target mixture density or void content
• Assessment of mixture compactibility
• SHRP Superpave asphalt mixture design
• Preparation of cylindrical test specimens
