Binder Ignition Oven
A binder ignition oven test burns asphalt. While burning the temperature rises above set point, and gradually returns as burn off nears completion. The binder ignition system has a user programmed furnace so that it remains locked for a designated time after return of temperature to setpoint. This time delay, or de-coking period, is based on user experience with sample types and/or specification requirements. Time delay for a new sample type is determined by returning the sample to the furnace for 5 to 10 minutes until complete is confirmed.
The stainless steel case has a drop door to serve as a shelf for ease of sample tray handling. Heating elements are quality Kanthal A-1 and easily accessible for inexpensive replacement if necessary. The controller has memory for up to ten timed programs with selected chamber and afterburner setpoints. In addition the unit includes two samples trays, screens and lids. The unit operates on 240V, 1-Phase, 50/60Hz power supply. Easily field-converted for voltages from 208 to 380 as well as 3-Phase systems.
