Lab Products for Mix Design
BY AsphaltPro Staff
With the increased interest in cold central plant recycling (CCPR), the asphalt industry turns again to the concept of “foaming” asphalt and what reduced emissions benefits this technology offers. To assist in the design and testing of mixes using foamed asphalt, a handful of companies manufacture lab equipment for quality control/quality assurance (QC/QA). In this month’s product gallery, we focus specifically on lab equipment, and we include those devices that address foaming excellence.
Below, also take a look at those pieces of equipment that assist with balanced mix design (BMD) and other important performance testing. While many shops and platforms sell or distribute lab devices, it takes a little sleuthing to find the facts from the entities who designed and tested the original equipment—even some who branch out to include “friendly rival” products in their offerings.
In the January issue, we’ll return to listing new and updated products for paving, pavement maintenance and mix production professionals in alternating editions of AsphaltPro. Check out the product gallery tab on www.TheAsphaltPro.com for past listings you may have missed!
