ASPHALT MIX
Gyratory Compactor for Asphalt Mix Design
Superpave gyratory compaction is the standard laboratory workflow for asphalt volumetric mix design. Lithostek gyratory compactors support angle control, specimen height tracking, density development, and compaction data needed by asphalt QC, research, and road authority laboratories.

Compare LS-GC100 Gyratory Compactor Specs
LS-GC100 is positioned for Superpave gyratory compaction and asphalt volumetric mix design. The page focuses on AASHTO T312, ASTM D6925, and EN 12697-31 workflows, using existing specifications for compaction force, internal angle, speed, mold sizes, electromechanical drive, and USB data export.
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 specimen preparation. 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.
How 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.
