Asphalt  

Professional equipment for testing asphalt and bitumen in accordance with EN, ASTM and other international standards. Designed for laboratories, asphalt plants and quality control environments.

 

Typical Applications

 

  • Quality control in asphalt production 
  • Verification of asphalt mix performance 
  • Bitumen characterization and classification 
  • Laboratory testing for compliance and certification

Bitumen

Equipment for characterizing bitumen binders — penetration, softening point, ductility and viscosity measurements.

 

Products:

 

Automatic Ring and Ball

Using the Ring-and-Ball method, the softening point of bitumen and bituminous binders is determined within the temperature range of 28 °C to 150 °C.

Bituminous Masses (Asphalt Mixtures)

Bituminous mixtures, commonly referred to as asphalt, are a blend of mineral Bituminous binders are a collective term for the organic material that forms the adhesive component in asphalt.
They are also used for membranes on, for example, bridges, as well as for bonding between different layers. 

Bitumen is important for preventing deformation and water penetration in asphalt, while still maintaining its flexibility. 

We supply testing equipment used for bitumen testing, machines for studying the rheological properties of bitumen, as well as the properties of bituminous emulsions.
