A Laboratory Asphalt Mixer is an essential equipment used in mixture where there is a need to prepare accurate concentrations of bitumen and sand or gravel, cement and sand or gravel. This advanced equipment fully meet and implement the “Test Regulations for Asphalt and Asphalt Mixture for Highway Engineering”. This is because the Laboratory Asphalt Mixer is considered reliable and efficient in serving research and construction laboratories and supervisory highways.

The Laboratory Asphalt Mixer consists of three primary components: There are heating pot, an agitator and a lifting device as its components which have to be installed. The heating pot has the adjustable temperature range of room temperature up to 250 Celsius degree, and the temperature of the pot is maintained constant. The agitator which is made up of a mixing head and motor rotates to help mix up the mixture in the vessel. It also comes with a timer that enables the user set the period of time he wants the ingredients to mix.

Typically the lifting mechanism of an LCC is motorized where there is a belt reducer and a lead screw to lift or lower the agitator during feeding, mixing or discharging. This way the mixture is well mix and in a right condition for the test that follows the preparation stage.

The Laboratory Asphalt Mixer has been deemed necessary in the preparation process of samples for highway constructions and research due to it efficiency and accuracy.
