FAQs of Bitumen Extractor:
Q: How does the manual Bitumen Extractor operate?
A: The Bitumen Extractor operates using a hand-cranked centrifuge, where asphalt mix samples are placed in the basket. By turning the handle, centrifugal force separates the bitumen, which is collected for further analysis. This process runs at speeds up to 3600 RPM, without the need for an external power supply.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this Bitumen Extractor in asphalt testing?
A: Key benefits include high accuracy, durable construction, simple manual operation, and compliance with IS:2386 (Part 2) and ASTM D2172 standards. Its portability and sturdy build ensure longevity and adaptability for both laboratory and field testing environments.
Q: When should this extractor be used during road construction or laboratory testing?
A: Use this Bitumen Extractor whenever you need to determine the exact bitumen content within an asphalt mix. This is typically required during quality control or research processes in both laboratory settings and on-site road construction projects.
Q: Where is the Bitumen Extractor best installed or used?
A: The extractor is bench-mounted and ideally used in laboratories, road construction quality control sites, and research facilities. Its compact and portable design fits well on standard laboratory benches or field testing tables.
Q: What is the extraction process for obtaining bitumen from asphalt mixes with this device?
A: First, load the asphalt sample into the stainless steel basket lined with filter paper. Add solvent if required by your test method, then secure the safety cover. Rotate the hand crank to spin the basket at high speed, which extracts the bitumen into the collection jug for subsequent measurement and analysis.
Q: How safe is the operation of this Bitumen Extractor?
A: Safety is prioritized through features such as a robust powder-coated structure, safety cover, and stable bench-mounting. The manual control system reduces accident risk associated with electrical components, while clear operating instructions enhance safe usage.
