Laboratory Mills/Plants

Simulates Exactly Any Commercial Milllab mill

Features

  • Supraton Colloid mill with variable speed controller. Read out in rpm on panel.
  • Bitumen pump 2.3 lt/min (.60 gpm) variable speed positive displacement pump with electric motor.  Read out in estimated flow on panel.
  • Latex system consisting of peristaltic pump, speed controller and readout - .48 lt/min (.13 gpm) capacity.
  • Soap system consisting of peristaltic pump, speed controller and readout - 2.0 lt/min (.53 gpm) capacity.
  • Feed tanks:3 stainless steel tanks

          * Tank 1: 20 lts (5.25 gal) for bitumen with electrical heating element 
             and mixer with recirculation.
          * Tank 2: 20 lt (5.25 gal) for soap with electrical heating element and optional mixer
          * Tank 3: 2.0 lt (0.5 gal) for latex
          * Bitumen and soap piping provides for re-circulation

Heat exchanger coaxial type in line with throttle valve, pressure gauge/thermometer

          * Heating system - electrical heat tracing of asphalt pump and lines.
          * Band heaters in asphalt tank and soap tank

  • Control system:

          * Stem thermometers in asphalt and soap tanks
          * Thermocouple in asphalt and soap lines
          * RTD temperature sensor in emulsion line
          * Bitumen flow indicator based on pump speed
          * Control of binder content is achieved by exit temperature monitoring based on soap
             and bitumen temperature and/or by calibration of soap flow versus bitumen flow
          * Stop/start/speed control for mill and all pumps
