Product Description
The NL PavePro Asphalt Roller Compactor (ARC) is the definitive solution for laboratories requiring the highest level of specimen uniformity for advanced asphalt performance testing. By precisely replicating the kneading action of full-scale site rollers, the system produces slabs that reflect the true mechanical properties of field-compacted pavements. Its powerful pneumatic assembly and advanced servo-drive technology work in tandem to eliminate density gradients, providing researchers with a reliable, repeatable foundation for Hamburg Wheel Tracking and complex modulus testing.
Engineered for the modern laboratory, this ARC streamlines the transition from mixture to specimen with an intuitive, touchscreen-driven workflow. The system removes the guesswork from compaction through automated pressure regulation and precision thermal management, ensuring every slab meets stringent international standards without constant operator intervention. With its high-precision stability, self-diagnostic capabilities, and seamless data portability via USB, it combines industrial durability with the sophisticated control necessary for high-tier asphalt research.
Features of Asphalt Roller Compactor (ARC)
- Pneumatic Load Control — Fully adjustable compaction pressure from 0–30 kN via a high-precision pneumatic system.
- Servo-Driven Precision — High-torque servo motor ensures smooth mold travel at speeds up to 300 mm/s.
- Versatile Specimen Sizing — Supports adjustable specimen heights ranging from 30 mm to 150 mm.
- Advanced PID Temperature Control — Utilizes PWM and PID logic for industry-leading thermal stability and accuracy.
- Touch-Screen HMI — Intuitive interface for real-time monitoring, parameter storage, and simplified operation.
- USB Data Export — Live graphical tracking of temperature, pressure, and height; data is fully exportable via USB.
- Automated Diagnostics — Smart system monitoring with integrated error-code prompts for rapid troubleshooting.
- Secure Quick-Clamp System — Reliable, user-friendly clamping mechanism for fast and safe mold installation.
- Dual-Stop Logic — Automatically terminates operation based on either a set number of passes or a target specimen height.
- Precision Height Tracking — Real-time height monitoring with ±0.1 mm accuracy.
- Vibratory Compaction — Vibratory system to simulate dynamic field conditions.
