Product Overview
Labotemp Asphalt Ignition Furnace LBC-102 is an ignition testing system for rapid, solvent-free determination of asphalt binder content in hot mix asphalt (HMA). Designed for use in asphalt plants, highway laboratories and quality control facilities, it supports AASHTO T308 and ASTM D6307 methods and accommodates both routine and large-scale samples.

High-Capacity Asphalt Testing

• Accepts standard sample ranges of 1,200–1,800 g and supports samples up to 5,000 g for high-capacity testing.

Precision Weight Monitoring

• Integrated high-accuracy electronic balance continuously monitors sample mass during the ignition cycle and automatically calculates binder content with ±0.11% accuracy.

Advanced Temperature Control

• Combustion chamber operating range 200°C–650°C with a standard test temperature of 538°C; programmable automatic temperature control for repeatable results.

Emission Reduction & Safety

• Integrated afterburner (650°C–750°C) and ceramic filtration reduce exhaust emissions (up to 95% reduction).
• Automatic door-locking system and both automatic and manual operating modes enhance operator safety and process flexibility.

Smart Data Management

• Real-time data monitoring, automatic endpoint detection, temperature compensation and RS-232 connectivity for PC integration and graphical analysis.

Why Choose LBC-102

• Up to 5,000 g sample capacity for routine and high-capacity testing.
