ASPHALT MIX
Gyratory Compactor for Asphalt Mix Design
Superpave gyratory compaction is the standard laboratory workflow for preparing asphalt mixture specimens for volumetric mix design. Lithostek gyratory compactors support angle control, specimen height tracking, density development, and compaction data needed by asphalt QC, research, road authority, and export-market laboratories. Extended angle and speed configurations can be specified for project methods such as the AS/NZS 2891.2.2 parameter envelope.

Compare LS-GC100 Gyratory Compactor Specs
LS-GC100 is positioned first as a Superpave gyratory compactor for asphalt mixture specimens and volumetric mix design. The standard workflow focuses on AASHTO T312, ASTM D6925, and EN 12697-31, while configurable angle and speed settings can cover AS/NZS 2891.2.2-style project requirements, including the 240 kPa / 2° / 60 r/min parameter envelope, without turning the platform into a single-market special model.
The Superpave gyratory compactor (SGC) is the core instrument for volumetric asphalt mix design. It applies vertical compaction force while the mold gyrates at a fixed internal angle, helping laboratories produce specimens whose density development across gyrations supports N-initial, N-design, and N-max evaluation for mix approval.

AASHTO T312 vs ASTM D6925 vs EN 12697-31
These standards define gyratory compaction workflows used for asphalt mix design, quality control, and laboratory preparation of asphalt mixture specimens. Confirm the current edition and project requirements before tendering; LS-GC100 supports standard-oriented compaction with adjustable internal angle, height tracking, coaxial load sensing, and USB data export.
Read the full comparison guideHow gyratory compaction works
- 1. Prepare the heated asphalt mixture and load the mold.
- 2. Apply vertical compaction force while the mold gyrates at the target internal angle.
- 3. Track specimen height and density development through the compaction cycle.
- 4. Export compaction records for mix design, QC, and research reports.
