  • 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 lt (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
  • General
    • Bitumen pump and soap pumps may be run in recirculation mode and unit is opened to production by three way valves.
    • Exit valve may be in sample or waste mode.
    • May be operated under pressure for SBS emulsions.
    • Speed controller on mill to simulate different shear rates to calibrate to any production mill.
    • Pressure gauge installed on mill.
    • System is mounted on a trolley made from stainless steel.
    • Electrical system is 3 phase to suit customer. Please specify.
