ASPHALT & BITUMEN TESTING EQUIPMENT
PAVELAB50 PRO Asphalt Analyzer Kuwait
PAVELAB50 PRO Asphalt Analyzer Kuwait is Burgan Equipment Co.'s automatic closed-system machine for separating bitumen, filler and aggregates from asphalt samples using solvents. Made by Controls Group of Italy, it gives laboratories precise binder content results for specification acceptance, quality control, service evaluation and research. Its sealed, closed-loop construction keeps solvent fumes away from operators, and a 7-inch touch screen runs the whole extraction cycle automatically. Burgan supplies and supports the analyzer for asphalt laboratories across Kuwait.
Binder content shows whether the asphalt produced at the plant matches the approved mix design. The PAVELAB50 PRO Asphalt Analyzer Kuwait automates that check from start to finish. The operator loads the sample into a washing drum, sets the parameters and starts the cycle. The machine washes the sample with solvent, separates the filler by centrifuge, and leaves clean aggregate ready for grading. The recovered bitumen can then be used for further tests such as penetration and softening point.
Key system highlights
- Sealed, closed-loop design: solvent stays inside the machine, reducing fumes and the need for hoods, masks or goggles.
- 7-inch touch screen: a swinging panel that shows every function in real time and makes setup simple. On the version with the integrated balance, it also keeps a test database with weighing information.
- Ultrasonic washing chamber: stainless steel chamber with heating and a driven rotating drum for thorough separation.
- Adjustable programs: wash cycles and centrifuge speed can be changed to suit standard mixes, polymer-modified binders, rubberized asphalt and recycled asphalt.
- Solvent flexibility: can be adapted to different solvents, following your laboratory's procedure.
- Safety cut-off: the machine stops immediately if it detects a lack of cooling water or a motor fault, and shows the reason on screen.
To meet different laboratory workloads and budgets, the PAVELAB50 PRO platform offers fully automatic solvent extraction, flexible washing programs, and a choice of electrical and weighing configurations built for busy asphalt testing laboratories.
