Centrifuge Extractor, Analog, Explosion Proof Motor, 3000g

Centrifuge Extractor, Analog Control, Explosion-Proof Motor (3000g Capacity)

This Centrifuge Extractor is engineered for the precise and efficient quantitative determination of bitumen content in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) specimens. Featuring a robust, explosion-proof motor, this model is designed for enhanced safety in environments where solvent fumes may be present. It combines safe, straightforward operation with a durable construction for a long service life, fully conforming to AASHTO T164 and ASTM D 2172 test methods.

Key Features:

• Explosion-Proof Design: The specialized motor and sealed housing meet stringent explosion-proof requirements, providing a safer working environment during solvent-based extractions.
• Efficient Operation: A precision-machined and dynamically balanced inner aluminum bowl assembly allows for quick and easy removal from the sealed housing, streamlining specimen handling and reducing downtime between tests.
• Variable Speed Control: An intuitive analog control knob allows the operator to easily adjust rotation speeds up to a maximum of 3,600rpm, providing the force needed for rapid and complete solvent separation.
• Rapid Braking System: A built-in electric brake brings the centrifuge to a complete stop in just a few seconds after the extraction is finished, improving safety and workflow efficiency.
• Durable and Secure Housing: The unit features a heavy-duty cast aluminum housing with a secure latching cover. An integral cup on the cover allows for the convenient dispensing of solvent directly into the bowl.
• Accurate Results: The included paper filter rings are essential for preventing the loss of fines during the extraction process, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of your test results.

Specifications:

• Motor: Reliable 1/8hp DC motor with an integrated electrical braking system.
• Capacity: 3,000g sample size.
• Included Accessories: Comes with twenty-five (25) 613-grade Paper Filter Rings. The filter rings for this 3,000g model have an 11.63-inch outer diameter with a 2.5-inch inner diameter hole.
• Dimensions (WxDxH): 14 x 20 x 22in (356 x 508 x 559mm).
• Electrical Requirements: 120V/60Hz.
• Compliance: Meets AASHTO T164 and ASTM D 2172 standards.

To further accelerate sample processing, additional centrifuge bowl assemblies can be ordered separately, allowing for continuous operation with minimal interruption. This extractor is the ideal choice for asphalt testing labs requiring a safe, reliable, and high-performance solution for bitumen content analysis.
