Asphalt rollers used

The Asphalt Roller Compactor (ARC), available these days through InstroTek, Inc., may be the first unit developed based entirely on an electro-mechanical system. The compactor cannot need hydraulic fluids or air force, which allows the users to produce repeatable and consistent examples. The asphalt slab produced with this compactor is more representative; with aggregate positioning similar to samples compacted on the go.

This fully automatic and user-friendly system compacts making use of a segmented roller with alternating rotation, simulating the action of large rollers employed for compaction of asphalt pavements. The compacted pieces may be used for rut testing, cored for standard laboratory examinations or cut to acquire beam samples for beam tiredness evaluating.
