Bitumen Extractor Electrically Operated Description
A Bitumen Extractor Electrically Operated is a laboratory testing instrument used for determining the bitumen content in asphalt and bituminous mixtures. It works on the principle of centrifugal extraction, where the bitumen is separated from aggregates using a solvent and high-speed rotation.
This equipment is widely used in civil engineering laboratories, road construction projects, and quality control testing to ensure proper mix design and pavement performance.
Key Features
- Electrically driven motorized centrifuge system
- Variable speed control for accurate testing (approx. 24003600 RPM)
- Removable aluminum rotor bowl with cover
- Durable mild steel / stainless steel body
- Equipped with hand brake system for safety
- Smooth and vibration-free operation
- Low maintenance and long service life
Technical Specifications (Typical)
- Capacity: 1500 g (approx.)
- Speed Range: 2400 3600 RPM
- Motor: 0.25 HP electric motor
- Power Supply: 230V, Single Phase, 50 Hz
- Automation Grade: Semi-automatic
- Material: Mild Steel / Aluminum
Working Principle
The bituminous sample is placed in the rotor bowl along with a solvent (like benzene or toluene). The machine spins at high speed, causing the bitumen to dissolve and separate from aggregates by centrifugal force. The extracted solution is collected, and the remaining aggregate is analyzed to determine bitumen percentage.
Applications
- Asphalt and pavement testing laboratories
- Highway and road construction projects
- Civil engineering colleges & R&D labs
- Quality control of bituminous mixes
Advantages
- Provides accurate and quick bitumen content results
- Reduces manual effort compared to hand-operated models
- Ensures consistent and repeatable testing
- Suitable for both field and laboratory use
