AutoXtract™ Automatic Asphalt Extraction System

ASTM D8159 

The AutoXtract™ is an innovative device that automates the processes associated with asphalt extraction and recovery. The unit has been designed for the determination of asphalt content in mixtures as well as the characterization of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) properties. This closed-loop system eliminates the need for fume hoods and keeps harmful vapors away from operators. The asphalt mixture is placed inside the chamber, and in less than an hour, the AutoXtract produces accurate asphalt content results and clean, dry aggregates ready for sifting operations. Test results are exported to a .txt file to create customized reports.
