If you’re in the asphalt industry, you know how crucial precision and efficiency are when determining asphalt content and ensuring pavement quality.
That’s where the Ignition Panel™ comes in, a powerful front panel upgrade for the widely used NCAT Furnace. This innovative upgrade enhances usability, streamlines operations, and boosts reliability for asphalt testing labs.
We put the Ignition Panel to the test on The Hot Mix Podcast. Here’s a breakdown of its standout features and why it’s a game-changer for asphalt quality control
Bringing the NCAT into the present
The electronics hadn’t changed much on the NCAT oven since the 90s, so we saw a massive opportunity to upgrade the oven and improve it with more modern technology. Thus, the Ignition Panel was born!
We packed it full of features such as:
-
A large 7” touchscreen
-
8GB of internal storage to store thousands of tests
-
USB port to quickly transfer test data to a PC
-
Virtual indicator lights show the status of the furnace
-
Bluetooth for connecting to any Android smartphone or tablet
We also created the free Ignition App (you’ll find it in the Google Play Store), which allows users to view real-time test data, view test results, and control many aspects of the furnace.
With a simple upgrade, the NCAT is just like any of the newer technologies you'd find in an asphalt lab.
Professional installation required?
If you purchased the Ignition Panel, we do believe this panel needs to be installed professionally. There are a lot of companies out there that know the NCAT oven and can handle the installation for you and complete it within a few hours.
You'll want to have a professional install this to make sure it's working correctly, your scales are calibrated properly, and that you have no issues moving forward.
Everyone has an ignition oven in their lab. With the Ignition Panel upgrade, we brought something to market that can help everyone. Not only that, but we're selling NCAT ovens with the Ignition Panel pre-installed, so you don’t have to worry about it.
You could buy both pieces of equipment separately, but why not go ahead and get the upgrade already done, installed, and calibrated by InstroTek? Contact us to get started.
