Description

Efficient and maintenance-free

Ignition ovens offer an effective alternative to the traditional solvent extraction method. 

Fast, it takes less than 40 minutes to automatically calculate the binder content both on the mix and on the aggregate mix. And this, safely, without any need for solvents. 

BITUMAX Pro can run uninterrupted as it is almost maintenance free, whether at the end of a single test or of the test day.
