Automatic Binder Extractors

ASTM D2172 | EN 12697-1 | ASTM D8159
Automatic bitumen extractor is used for separation and extraction of bitumen by use of perchloroethylene  or trichloroethylene solvents and sieving, for the separation of filler by centrifuge action and for the recovery of solvent material.
The complete cycle is carried out automatically.

75-B0005/A: Automatic binder extraction unit, supplied without sieves. 380 V, 50 Hz, 3 ph
(can be completed with sieves by the end user conforming to the preferred openings)

75-B0005: Automatic binder extraction unit complete with four 200 mm dia. test sieves:  0.075, 0.250, 0.710 and 2 mm openings. Conforming to EN 12697-1 and ASTM D2172.
380 V, 50 Hz, 3 ph

Main features:
  • Conforms to latest anti-pollution requirements
  • Ideal for mastic asphalt
  • Big reduction of toxic fumes in the laboratory
  • High extraction capacity: up to 400 g of filler per test
  • Sensible reduction of extraction time
  • Avoids solvent handling by the operator
  • Low quantity of solvent material used and sensible reduction of extraction cost
  • Use of perchloroethylene as solvent

The basic machine comprises:
  •  A sieving unit with solvent spraying nozzle to separate and wash out the asphalt sample capacity 7 sieves 200 mm dia.
  •  A filterless centrifuge to separate the filler from the solvent and bitumen solution.
  •  A solvent recovery unit to recover the solvent.

The apparatus is supplied complete with separate electric control panel and three spare cups for the extraction centrifuge.

The unit can be housed inside the cabinet with aspirator 75-B0005/50 as shown in the pictures, although we recommend a TPE fume cupboard for NZS compliance. Please contact us for a consultation to determine appropriate model with attachments required.
