The PaveMix has been expressly designed to prepare homogeneous bituminous mixtures at a strictly controlled temperature.
The preparation of the bituminous sample is obtained in a short time period (few minutes) to avoid any mechanical aggregate degradation and to fully coat all mineral components, as requested by EN 12697-35.
- Mixing capacity: 32 litres max.
- Mixing bowl: stainless steel AISI 316.
- Mixing temperature: selectable from ambient up to 260 °C through sensitive probe and digital display control.
- Mixing speed: adjustable from 4 to 40 rpm.
- Easy tilting unloading operation by electromechanical motion with rotation up to 130°.
- Strictly controlled temperature.
- Fast preparation of bituminous samples.
The Pavemix produces representative samples to perform:
- Gyratory compaction tests (EN 12697-10, EN 12697-31)
- Marshall stability tests (EN 12697-34, EN 13108)
- Wheel tracking wet and dry tests (EN 12697-22)
- Slabs compaction laboratory tests (EN 12697-33)
- Beam fatigue and Stiffness tests (EN 12697-26, EN 13108)
- Asphalt general purpose tests.
PaveMix consists of:
- Main frame holding a horizontal stainless steel bowl with a helical mixing shaft.
- The bowl, double wall insulation made of stainless steel AISI 316, contains an electric heater with probe sensor granting constant and uniform temperature control.
- An electromechanical motion allows to tilt the bowl facilitate the unloading operation, with total rotation up to 130°.
The control panel foresees:
- Digital thermo regulator to set temperature and to control the mixing temperature.
- Mixing speed regulator.
- Main and start/stop switches.
- Command to tilt the bowl.
