SmarTracker™ Hamburg Wheel

Offers several unique features that make testing safer, easier, and more accurate than existing more expensive wheel tracking systems.

Auto_SCB™

InstroTek’s Auto_SCB is a precise and versatile device for conducting mechanical testing of asphalt mixtures at a fraction of the cost.

The M.i.S.T™

M.i.S.T. (Moisture Induced Stress Tester) is designed as a totally new, quick, and logical method for testing moisture damage susceptibility of asphalt mixtures.

ACT™ Asphalt Compatibility Tester

The Asphalt Compatibility Tester (ACT) is a fast, straightforward method to evaluate the adhesion properties of asphalt binder and aggregates in the mixture. This test uses LED light and detection system to measure the color change that may occur as a result of ASTM D 3625 (Boil Test Method).

Asphalt Shear Compactor

Asphalt engineers know the importance of a representative sample during any laboratory performance testing. The precise shearing motion of the ASC replicates the conditions of field compaction in order to reproduce the field properties of asphalt, quickly and easily under the controlled conditions of a laboratory.

PumpSaver

The PumpSaver is a unique new method for the removal of moisture in air prior to entering a vacuum pump. The device extends the life of vacuum pumps by reducing the amount of water entering the pump. It also increases pump efficiency by offering a lower resistance to air flow as opposed to a desiccant style air drier that actually inhibits the free flow of air. Using the PumpSaver also eliminates the requirement for a desiccant type air drier and eliminates the need to continually replace or recycle desiccant materials.

AutoXtract™ Automatic Asphalt Extraction System

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.

eDry™ - Asphalt Emulsion Drying Kit

The NEW eDry Upgrade Kit for the InstroTek CoreDry™ is the quickest and most effective method for drying asphalt emulsions. In less than 30 minutes, the CoreDry eDry Emulsion Kit can be used to dry up to 5 grams of asphalt emulsions. CoreDry’s patented vacuum technology allows pavement engineers to quickly determine the appropriate binder content and application rates while retaining the rheological properties of the binder.

HWT-Pro™

The InstroTek HWT-Pro is a comprehensive verification and diagnostic device for the Hamburg Wheel Tracker. The HWT-Pro can measure and report your machine's deviation from AASHTO T-324 calibration requirements. The HWT-Pro also follows the recommendations of NCHRP Project 20-07 Task 361 conducted at Louisiana State University.

The Ignition Panel™(AASHTO T 308 & ASTM D6307)

The Ignition Panel™ is a front panel upgrade for the NCAT Asphalt Content furnace. The NCAT Furnace is widely used in the asphalt industry for accurate determination of asphalt content and quality control of pavements. The Ignition Panel upgrades the current units with advanced electronic components and improves the functionality and efficiency of the furnace while preserving its accuracy, reliability, and user experience.

NCAT Asphalt Content Furnace

PaveScan™- Density Meter

The InstroTek PaveScan Powered by GSSI Technology is the first non-nuclear rolling density system that provides real-time compaction and density data for the entire paving project. Proper compaction is the most important factor in producing long-lasting pavements. The PaveScan uses multiple sensors to continuously scan the entire pavement and provide a density profile of the entire paving project. The operator pushes the cart along the lane and gathers density data behind the asphalt rollers. The onboard computer displays density, compaction, a line graph, and a contour map of the measurements. This information is used by contractors and pavement engineers to assess the quality of the pavement.   

PaveScan® Mix Design Module (MDM)

PaveScan Mix Design Module (MDM), is an innovative system used to create a correlation between the dielectric value of the mix and the asphalt density at different percent air voids. This correlation can then be entered into the PaveScan, Non-nuclear Rolling Density Measurement System (RDM), and used as a powerful QC/QA tool for accurate density measurements of the entire asphalt pavement. Quality process control using PaveScan MDM and RDM means all pavements and longitudinal joints can be compacted to specification in real-time. 

NoNuke™

The InstroTek NoNuke is a highly advanced dielectric asphalt density gauge specifically designed to increase accuracy and dependability.
