Superpave Gyratory Compactors

Triple Threatclrshim.gif (821 bytes)
Pine’s commitment to designing and producing the industry’s highest quality equipment has been recognized by the Federal Highway Administration, which uses Pine’s gyratory compactor as the standard for Superpave™ test requirements.  Pine offer THREE distinctly different implementations of the Superpave™ Gyratory Compactor.  One of these is sure to meet the needs and budget of any contractor or agency.

Second Generation Compactor: AFG1

Baby of the Family

Pine took a different approach in the design and construction of the AFG1A. We asked personnel in the asphalt paving industry what features they would like in a next generation compactor. As a result of their input, Pine developed a more compact, portable machine that allows the operator to take the tester to the material for field QC/QA. It is also suitable for laboratory design work.  Both compactors are easy to use, loaded with features, and sturdy enough to provide years of reliable service in the demanding construction industry.

The AFG1 is now available with several options, including the Gyratory Shear Measurement Option.  To read more about gyratory shear, click here

 


Ultimate in Portability

Pine's latest addition to its family of Gyratory Compactors is the rugged, totally portable AFGB1A Brovold Gyratory Compactor.  This unique and innovative machine is now manufactured exclusively by Pine.

Tried and True

Gyratory compaction of asphalt has been shown to provide the best simulation of the long term effect of traffic on pavement. Pine Instrument Company produces three compactors that meet all Superpavetm requirements: The AFGC125X, the AFG1, and the AFGB1.

Pine Instrument Company designed its first gyratory compactor, the AFGC125X to comply with the Superpavetm asphalt mix design requirements of the United States Federal Highway Administration. The 125X has become the standard by which all other compactors in the industry are judged.
