FAQ's of Bitumen Extractor HO:
Q: How does the Bitumen Extractor HO operate?
A: The Bitumen Extractor HO is manually operated using a crank handle that spins an internal stainless steel basket at speeds up to approximately 3000 rpm. This process separates bitumen from paving mixtures in a controlled, efficient manner.
Q: What is the primary application of this extractor?
A: This extractor is designed for the laboratory analysis of bitumen content in paving mixtures. It supports quality control processes in civil engineering and construction material testing, especially for roadwork and infrastructural projects.
Q: When should I use the Bitumen Extractor HO in my testing workflow?
A: Use the extractor during material preparation in laboratories to accurately determine bitumen content before proceeding with further mix design or quality certification. It is most effective when you require reliable analytical results to inform construction decisions.
Q: Where is this product primarily utilized?
A: Primarily utilized in laboratory environments across India, this device is suitable for use by construction firms, testing agencies, research institutions, and educational facilities requiring bitumen extraction from mixtures.
Q: What is the extraction process with this device?
A: Place the paving mixture sample into the stainless steel basket, secure the lid with the locking clamp, and operate the manual crank. The centrifugal force generated separates the bitumen, which collects in the aluminum bowl, while solids remain in the basket.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this Bitumen Extractor HO?
A: The key benefits include precise manual operation, robust and corrosion-resistant construction, user safety features, and ease of maintenance. Its accessories and reliable performance ensure accurate bitumen measurement for laboratory applications.
