The autoclave consists of a high-pressure steam vessel for cement expansion tests.

Bearing Plate Test Apparatus and Benkelman Beam are used to determine the bearing capacity and deflection of sub grade and sub base of roads.

Light and portable, GYROCOMP represents the ideal solution for Quality Control (QC) and can even be easily installed in mobile laboratories, representing the ideal solution for Quality Control (QC).

The GALILEO Gyratory Compactors represent the most evolved models currently available on the market, worldwide. It has been made available in two versions: Galileo and Galileo Research. It combines a high precision load mechanism with an extremely rigid frame assuring maximum accuracy.

The Dyna-Track Single Wheel Tracker is single-wheel tracking system for measuring permanent deformation of asphalt mixture. It consists of a loaded wheel, which bears on a sample held on a moving table. The table reciprocates with simple harmonic motion through a distance of 230 ± 5 mm with a frequency of 53 passes (± 1%) per minute.

The EN version of the Double Wheel Tracker for Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) is a testing device used to evaluate the rutting resistance and moisture susceptibility of asphalt pavement. The wheel tracker is equipped with sensors to measure the rut depth and moisture-induced distress of the asphalt samples under controlled conditions. This testing helps assess the performance and durability of asphalt mixes, aiding in the design and optimization of pavement materials for long-lasting and safe road infrastructure. It consists of a heavy-duty wheel that applies a controlled load and simulates the repeated traffic loads experienced by the pavement at a fixed temperature.

This Marshall compactor automatically compacts the sample and stops after a preset number of blows, in full conformity with the relevant ASTM Standards.

This multi-purpose digital unit, fit with cooler unit and recirculating water system, is used to condition in water asphalt specimens for Marshall and Indirect tensile test.

These Testing Accessories are sets for covering most of Balanced Mix Design tests compatible with Automatic Multipurpose Testers.

The Asphalt Testing Accessories are sets for testing asphalt samples with Automatic Multipurpose Testers.

Our Automatic Laboratory Mixer, BITUMIX, is a game-changer for the testing industry of bituminous mixtures. Designed to streamline and enhance the mixing process, this advanced device combines precision engineering with automated features, ensuring accurate and consistent asphalt mix batches.

IPC Global’s new and improved Autosaw2 is a second generation fully automated asphalt saw with integrated clamping system. The Autosaw2 allows for fast and accurate cutting of rectangular beams, trapezoidal prisms, overlay test specimens, semi-circular specimens, and trimming of cylindrical specimens. Autosaw2 is not suitable for cutting concrete or rock specimens.

Slab compactors can compact asphalt slabs to a target density applying specific loads corresponding to those of pavements rollers used in the highway construction.

The automatic Bitumen Extractor is used for the 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.

BITUMAX Pro is a high-precision ignition oven that can determine, in full automatic mode, the binder content of asphalt mixes in full conformance with the most common international standards. It combines an ignition oven with a continuous weighing system that monitors the loss of weight of the asphalt sample and automatically determines, at the end of the test, the binder content and percentage. An independently controlled auxiliary afterburner chamber significantly reduces the furnace emissions.

PAVELAB50 PRO is the most advanced system for automatic separation and extraction of bitumen, filler, and aggregates from asphalt samples by use of solvents. It delivers high-precision quantitative determinations of bitumen in asphalt mix for specification acceptance, service evaluation, control, and research
