- Completely electromechanically operated
- Possibility to program user defined procedures as free combination of load and displacement (or combined) controlled cycles
- Completely electromechanically operated
- Conforming to EN 12697-33, 5.2 method and ASTM D8079
- 21” All-in-one touchscreen PC controlled , PC and software included
- Includes the compaction procedure defined in the brand new EN 12697-33 method 7.3, providing at the beginning a controlled displacement compaction which can grant a flat surface followed by a load compaction phase , which can replicate the real compaction on the road surface

- Compaction direction in the longest (major) mould dimension to obtain specimens of the proper length conforming to Standard
- Vertical balanced of sliding cover for easy access and complete three side view
- Maximum compaction load 30 kN
- User defined controlled linear speed up to 300 mm/sec and adjustable pause at the mould inversion point
- Ideal for producing test beams for 4-Point bending (EN 12697-24, EN 12697-26, AASHTO T321) and slabs down to 38 mm
- Vibrating roller option, adjustable from 10 to 50 Hz
- PRO-COMPACT* closed loop control slabs
- Customization of compacting cycle which can be saved and recalled from the database
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 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 slab can be used for:
- Wheel tracking test down to 38 mm thickness
- Cored to provide specimens for indirect tensile, static and dynamic creep tests
- Cut into beams for benfing fatigue tests
- Standard models
- Advanced models, which also satisfy the compaction procedure of the brand new EN 12697-33 method 7.3 and include other important features.
The Electromechanical slab compactor can be used as part of your Superpave performance based testing program.
