CoreDry™

No ovens, no fans, just clever use of the laws of nature

CoreDry®, another new innovation from InstroTek, allows you to dry your construction samples in minutes. Place a field core, gyratory samples or a sample of loose mixture in the innovative fully automatic device and in minutes you have a completely dry sample.

Because the CoreDry® dries the sample at room temperature you will have the most accurate and repeatable dry sample weight for your calculation of density or for other tests requiring dry sample weight.

ASTM D7227

Fast, Accurate, Innovative

In just minutes, the CoreDry® can dry field or gyratory samples saving time and increasing accuracy. Moisture loss in the sample is based on high vacuum technology and innovative electronic desiccation technology. The CoreDry cycles a flow of ambient air and vacuum for a highly efficient moisture removal process. The system also contains an electronic moisture trap to capture the moisture being removed from the sample.

Advantages

• Dries field cores in less than 15 minutes.
• Quick dry weight allows density determinations of field samples in minutes not days or hours.
• Quick determination of density results allow the paving crew to make adjustments during paving, and not before the job is complete.
• Fully automatic and portable device. Operator just loads the sample and presses start to begin the process.
• Allows offset adjustments for your nuclear and nonnuclear gauges in minutes.
• Unlike using ovens, there is no loss of volitiles or damage to the sample integrity. Samples stay at room temperature through the drying process.
• Footprint 18" wide, 24" deep, 12" high.
