Micro-Deval Testing Machine for Aggregate Abrasion Testing
The Micro-Deval Testing Machine is designed to determine the abrasion resistance of aggregates under standardized laboratory conditions. The test evaluates the wear resistance of aggregate samples by subjecting them to abrasion inside a rotating drum with abrasive steel charges.
The machine features an automatic rotation counter that can be preset to the desired number of revolutions and automatically stops when the selected cycle is completed. Finished with a durable electrostatic powder coating, the machine also includes an emergency stop button for safe operation. ASTM and EN test drums, abrasive charges, and an RPM-controlled version are available to meet different testing requirements.
