Centrifuge Extractor Hand Operated

About Centrifuge Extractor Hand Operated

Centrifuge Extractor (Hand Operated) is a laboratory and field testing equipment used for determining the bitumen content in bituminous mixtures. The test is performed by dissolving bitumen in a suitable solvent and separating it from aggregates through centrifugal action.

This manually operated model is ideal for site testing and small laboratories, offering reliable performance without the need for electricity.

Key Features:

• Hand-operated mechanism suitable for field use
• Robust cast aluminum construction
• Removable rotor bowl for easy cleaning and weighing
• Gear system running in oil bath for smooth operation
• Corrosion-resistant body for long service life
• Built-in drain system for solvent and bitumen collection
• Portable and easy to handle

Technical Specifications:

• Capacity: 1500 g (approx.)
• Bowl Material: Cast Aluminum
• Speed: Up to 24003600 RPM (manual)
• Operation: Hand-driven gear mechanism
• Mounting: Vertical shaft with enclosed housing
• Weight: Approx. 3540 kg

Standards Compliance:

• ASTM D2172
• AASHTO T-58 / T-164

Applications:

• Bitumen content determination in asphalt mix
• Road construction quality control
• Highway engineering projects
• Civil engineering laboratories

Working Principle:

The sample mixed with solvent is placed in the rotor bowl. When rotated manually at high speed, the centrifugal force separates dissolved bitumen from aggregates, which is collected through a drain outlet for analysis.
