BRIEF INTRODUCTION
The Roller Compactor is considered to be the method of laboratory specimen compaction that results
in slabs of asphaltic paving materials with properties that most closely simulate those of materials in the
highway. Slabs can be compacted to target mixture densities using loads that are equivalent to those of
full-scale compaction equipment.
The CRT-RC-H2 is hydraulically powered and controlled by a programmable logic controller (PLC)
connected to an HMI which the operator can use to select the number of passes. A manual pressure
control is adjusted to set the required load.
Its main function is to produce slabs for wheel tracking tests. Users have compacted hot asphaltic materials
over stress absorbing membrane interlayers (SAMIs) on a base of cracked concrete in order to assess the
effectiveness of the SAMI by using shear or bending tests.
KEY FEATURES KEY USES

slabs
• Slab depth from 40 to 135 mm
• Roller compactor moulds will fit Cooper Technology Wheel STANDARDS
trackers so that compacted slabs can be wheel-tracked
without de-moulding • EN 12697-33 Steel roller
• Maximum compaction load of 30kN per 305mm roll width
(equivalent to largest on-site static rollers)
