GENERAL MACHINE DESCRIPTION
This Gyratory Compactor, is used to simulate and reproduce the real
compaction conditions under actual road paving operations, hence
determining the compaction properties of the asphalt.
Such compaction is achieved by combining the rotary action and the vertical
resultant force applied by a mechanical head. The Compactor comprises a
highly rigid steel frame ensuring excellent angle control.
Load is applied by an electro-pneumatic cylinder, servo-controlled by a
precision pressure regulator; the height is measured by a linear transducer.
Gyratory motion is generated by an eccentric high precision system allowing
an easy set up with precision and constant angle of gyration.
The rotation speed is controlled by an inverter through on board computer
control. Using the proper perforated mould, the Compactor is able to run tests
also on cold emulsified asphalt mix.
The acquired results are also employed in the investigation of volumetric and
mechanical characteristics of the asphalt mix.
