HMA Lab MX-5000 "The BEAST" Heavy-Duty Asphalt Mixer
Introducing "The BEAST," a heavy-duty asphalt mixer engineered for superior performance and precision in preparing bituminous mixtures. This robust machine is specifically designed to create homogeneous asphalt samples at a strictly controlled temperature, ensuring compliance with key industry standards such as ASTM D6307 and AASHTO TP53.
"The BEAST" excels at rapidly preparing bituminous samples, completing the process in just a few minutes. This efficiency is crucial for preventing mechanical aggregate degradation and ensuring that all mineral components are fully coated, leading to more accurate and reliable testing results. Its high-performance capabilities make it an indispensable tool for civil engineering labs, road construction companies, and material testing facilities.
With a generous mixing capacity of up to 32 liters, the MX-5000 is perfectly suited for producing representative samples for a comprehensive range of asphalt tests, including:
- Gyratory Compaction Tests: Prepare uniform samples to evaluate compaction characteristics.
- Marshall Stability and Flow Tests: Create specimens to determine resistance to plastic flow.
- Wheel Tracking (Wet and Dry) Tests: Produce samples to assess rutting resistance under simulated traffic loads.
- Slab Compaction Laboratory Tests: Mix materials for creating large slabs for performance testing.
- Beam Fatigue and Stiffness Tests: Prepare beams for analyzing fatigue life and material stiffness.
- General Purpose Asphalt Tests: A versatile solution for various other quality control and research applications.
Key Features and Components:
The MX-5000 is constructed with durability and ease of use in mind. Its main components include:
- Main Frame: A sturdy structure housing a horizontal stainless steel bowl and a powerful helical mixing shaft.
- Mixing Bowl: Made from high-quality, corrosion-resistant AISI 316 stainless steel, the bowl features a double-wall insulation design. It contains an integrated electric heater and a sensitive probe sensor to grant constant, uniform temperature control.
