HTHY-0736 Rotary Compactor

Product Description

• The HTHY-T0736 Gyratory Compactor is designed to produce cylindrical asphalt mixture specimens using the gyratory compaction method. The compacted specimens are used to evaluate the engineering properties of asphalt mixtures.
• The equipment adopts an electromechanical loading system. During compaction, the specimen is subjected simultaneously to a vertical compressive force and a gyratory shear action generated by the inclined mold, accurately simulating field compaction conditions and ensuring high-quality specimen preparation.
• The internal aggregate structure of the compacted specimen closely resembles that of actual pavement, providing highly consistent laboratory and field performance. The test results can be effectively used for asphalt mixture design optimization and construction quality control.
• The instrument is especially suitable for the research, development and validation of advanced asphalt mixtures, including Superpave®, Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) and other high-performance asphalt mixtures.

Technical Specifications

Features

• High-Rigidity and Lightweight Structure

The compactor features a high-strength structural steel frame, providing exceptional rigidity and resistance to deformation while minimizing overall weight. It is an ideal solution for mobile laboratories and laboratories with limited installation space.

• Precise and Controllable Gyratory Compaction

 Load Control

A high-precision coaxial load cell (±0.1% F.S.) ensures accurate and stable vertical compaction force throughout the entire compaction process.

• Gyration Angle Control

The internal gyration angle is continuously adjustable from 0.7° to 1.4° to comply with different testing standards. The factory default setting is 1.16°.

• Compaction Termination Control

The compaction process can be terminated automatically based on either the preset specimen height or the specified number of gyrations.

• Outstanding Reliability and Repeatability

The robust mechanical design, precise control system and premium-quality components ensure excellent long-term operational reliability and highly repeatable test results, even during continuous testing of large specimen batches.

• Clean and Quiet Electric Drive

Powered by a high-performance electric actuator, the system requires only a standard single-phase power supply and eliminates the need for bulky external air compressors, significantly reducing operating noise while improving the laboratory environment.

• User-Friendly Human–Machine Interface (HMI)

A 7-inch industrial-grade touchscreen provides a clear, intuitive and responsive operating interface.

• Real-Time Test Data Visualization

The system dynamically displays test data throughout the compaction process. Curves such as Load vs. Number of Gyrations and Specimen Height vs. Number of Gyrations allow real-time monitoring and comprehensive process analysis.

• Data Recording and Export

Complete test data are automatically recorded and can be exported via USB for subsequent analysis and documentation.

• Convenient and Safe Operation

The transparent safety door allows operators to observe the compaction process while ensuring safe operation. The sliding door design enables quick and convenient installation and removal of the specimen mold.
