About Automatic Compactor For Bituminous Mixes

The Automatic Compactor For Bituminous Mixes eliminates the laborious process of manual compaction and an even degree of compaction is achieved. The driven mechanism lifts the weight of 4.5kg and drops it through a correct height of 457 mm. The rammer foot is removable, which facilitates preheating. A compaction pedestal with specimen holder is fixed to the base. An Automatic Blow counter enables the number of blows to be present before each test and automatically stops the machine on completion.

Features:

Rugged construction to withstand hard work

Fully automatic and easy to operate

Uniform compaction

Automatic Preset Blow Counter

Note:

Also available for modified compaction test (10.2 Kg.)

Precision Compaction for Bituminous Mixes

Designed to deliver consistent and accurate compaction, the Automatic Compactor is equipped with digital controls for preset blows and precise ram travel. This boosts laboratory productivity, aligns with major testing standards, and reduces operator workload through automated processes.

Robust, User-Friendly Design

Built with heavy-duty steel and finished with a powder-coated, corrosion-resistant layer, the compactor ensures long-term reliability in demanding environments. Its ample base plate and supplied standard moulds accommodate a wide range of sample dimensions needed for quality testing.

Broad Application & Compliance

This equipment adheres to ASTM, AASHTO, and IS specifications, making it the preferred choice for research laboratories, government agencies, and quality assurance teams in road construction materials testing across the Indian market.

FAQ's of Automatic Compactor For Bituminous Mixes:

Q: How does the Automatic Compactor ensure uniform compaction of bituminous mixes?

A: The compactor uses a precisely weighted ram (4.5 kg for 100 mm specimens) and applies consistent blows (60 5 per minute) at a controlled drop height of 457 mm 5 mm, driven by a digital timer and preset counter for accuracy and repeatability.

Q: What sizes of specimens can the compactor accommodate?

A: The machine supports specimen diameters of 100 mm or 150 mm and can compact samples up to 180 mm in height using supplied standard compaction moulds, making it versatile for various test requirements.

Q: Where is the Automatic Compactor most effectively used?

A: It is ideally suited for laboratory environments engaged in bituminous mix compaction, including quality control departments, construction materials testing centers, and research facilities across India.

Q: What are the main benefits of using this compactor over manual methods?

A: Automated operation ensures highly consistent compaction results, reduces operator fatigue, and improves testing throughput. Enhanced safety features such as an emergency stop and safety interlocks further protect users during operation.

Q: Which standards does this compactor comply with?

A: The unit is built to meet ASTM D6926, AASHTO T245, and IS:12027, guaranteeing test validity and acceptance in both national and international contexts.

Q: How is safety maintained during the compaction process?

A: The equipment includes emergency stop functionality and safety interlocks, ensuring operations halt immediately in unsafe conditions and protecting both user and specimen integrity.
