MixWorx™ Asphalt Workability Sensor
The MixWorx Wireless Sensor is an advanced, high-precision device designed to evaluate the workability of asphalt mixtures during the compaction process. By measuring the relative rotation, acceleration, and temperature of the asphalt in the gyratory mold, it provides valuable insights on the workability of the mixture and how well the asphalt will compact in the field. The MixWorx helps optimize the workability of both conventional and modified asphalt mixtures, ensuring superior performance, improved pavement construction and durability.
Features:
• MixWorx meets ASTM D8541
• Wireless Technology: Utilizes Bluetooth technology to wirelessly transmit data to computers from inside the gyratory mold.
• High-Temperature Durability: Protective polymer outer case and durable stainless-steel body withstands temperatures up to 150°C.
• Precise Data Collection: Real-time monitoring of acceleration, rotation,
and temperature of the mixture during the compaction process.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for both laboratory-produced and plant-
produced mixtures, regardless of binder type or aggregate gradation.
• Ideal for Modified Mixes: Can be used to evaluate workability of modified asphalt mixtures, including polymer modified, crumb rubber modified, and waste plastic modified asphalt.
Benefits:
• Optimized Workability: Provides critical data to help determine the workability of asphalt mixtures, leading to better compaction and longer-lasting pavement performance.
• Improved Mix Designs: Assists in achieving the ideal compaction temperature and optimal additive dosage for modified mixtures.
• Improved Performance: Helps users understand how asphalt will behave in the field, reducing potential for performance issues.
• Enhanced Research Capabilities: Ideal for use in asphalt research and mix design studies, contributing to the development of more efficient paving materials.
• Easy Integration: Seamlessly integrates with digital devices for streamlined data collection and analysis.
• Cost-Effective: Minimizes trial and error in mix design, leading to potential cost savings by optimizing the mix formulation upfront.
