PAVELAB50 PRO Automatic Closed-System Asphalt Analyzer
The PAVELAB50 PRO Asphalt Analyzer is the most advanced automatic closed-system solution for separation and extraction of bitumen, filler, and aggregates from asphalt samples, available across UAE and GCC through Burgan Equipment Co
Developed by Controls SPA, the PAVELAB50 PRO delivers high-precision quantitative determination of bitumen in hot-mixed asphalt paving mixtures for specification acceptance, service evaluation, quality control, and research purposes.
The system operates as a fully closed loop — eliminating toxic solvent fumes from the laboratory environment while maintaining full compliance with ASTM D8159 and EN 12697-1 international standards. The extracted representative bitumen sample can be used for further tests such as penetration, softening point, and other binder performance evaluations. Aggregates including filler are also separated and remain available for sample grading after each extraction cycle.
PAVELAB50 PRO Asphalt Analyzer Key Performance Features
- Fully Automatic Test Cycle: The PAVELAB50 PRO washes asphalt samples up to 3.5 kg with solvent and ultrasonic motion, with simultaneous heating and rotation of the washing drum. The complete extraction cycle including drying takes approximately 55 minutes, significantly reducing laboratory turnaround time compared to manual methods.
- Zero Toxic Fumes: The fully closed-system design with automatic solvent recovery ensures zero toxic fumes in the laboratory environment. This makes the PAVELAB50 PRO fully compliant with the latest anti-pollution and laboratory safety requirements across UAE and international standards.
- 7 Inch Touchscreen Control Panel: An intuitive swinging touchscreen panel allows easy operation, real-time monitoring, and full control of the entire extraction process. The display also shows safety alerts — the machine stops immediately if water supply failure or motor malfunction is detected.
- High Extraction Capacity: The system handles up to 300g of filler per extraction with automatic sample drying after each cycle, ensuring consistent and repeatable results across all test runs.
- Solvent Recovery System: A continuous distillation process automatically recovers and recycles approximately 10 liters of solvent per extraction, significantly reducing operational running costs and solvent consumption over time.
- Optional Integrated Balance: The PAVELAB50 PRO is available with a built-in 10kg balance accurate to ±0.1g for precise asphalt sample measurement directly on the machine, eliminating the need for separate weighing equipment.
- Silent Operation: Designed for modern laboratory environments, the PAVELAB50 PRO operates quietly without disturbing other laboratory activities or personnel.

How It Works?
The asphalt sample of up to 3.5 kg is placed in a washing drum lined with a sintered multilayer mesh with openings of 0.063, 0.075, or 0.090 mm. The drum is fitted into the washing chamber where bitumen and filler are separated from the sample by washing with solvent and ultrasonic motion.
The mixture of filler, bitumen, and solvent is then centrifuged and the filler is separated. The aggregates and filler are dried by forced air circulation and the residue of solvent is recovered by condensation. The remaining bitumen and solvent solution is distilled and separated into two different tanks. The clean distilled solvent is recycled for future extractions, making the process both economical and environmentally responsible.making the PAVELAB50 PRO Asphalt Analyzer economical and efficient.
