Hamburg wheel tracker leads three new testing machines from Gilson

Three key highlights gracing the new materials testing machines on display at Conexpo 2014 from 2883 Gilson Company are: its Hamburg Immersion Wheel Tracker, a Superpave Gyratory Compactor and a new version of the company’s Rotary Sifters.

The Hamburg Wheel Tracker comes with stainless steel wheels (although rubber wheels are available as an option) and the machine has been put together to allow two specimens to be tested independently in a recirculating water bath. Control testing temperatures range between 20 degrees C and 70 degrees C and a built-in lifting hoist allows the lifting and positioning of the wheel arms.

Elsewhere on the Gilson stand is the Superpave Gyratory Compactor, manufactured by 7283 James Cox and Sons. Asphalt specimens are compacted in a cylindrical mould by gyrating the specimen. Sample height is automatically measured and density and void contented calculated during compaction.

And last, but not least, Gilson has remodelled its Gilson rotary sifters for aggregate testing, introducing two new models, the SS-20 Rotary Sifter and SS-21 Silent Sifter. Improvements include faster conversion between 200mm and 300mm sieves, easier set up and quieter operation.

    The Power Curber 5700-C series has been engineered and designed to provide customers with an easy-to-operate, reliable and productive machine, which the company claims is the number one seller. The 5700-C is compact, providing the operator with an excellent view of the concrete as it exits the mould and any activity around the machine. A direct drive high torque auger conveyor is preferred to a conveyor belt, providing faster movement of concrete regardless of the incline of the conveyor.

  • Asphalt and bitumen - testing for performance
    February 29, 2012
    The stresses placed on modern asphalt and bitumen means that specialist equipment is essential to make sure performance specifications are met. As road traffic increases at a rapid pace and road safety becomes a priority issue, asphalt is put under increasingly higher stresses. For example, road surfaces are subject to compression, flexural tensions and tangential stresses: internal friction, depending on the aggregates, and the cohesion, guaranteed by bitumen's composition, are the two main properties whic
