Pure Electromechanical Drive

High-performance electric actuators eliminate the need for external air compressors, reducing noise and maintenance complexity.

Precision Internal Angle

Continuously adjustable internal gyratory angle supports Superpave and EN workflows, with extended 0–3° configuration available for laboratories that need AS/NZS 2891.2.2-style 2° project settings.

Configurable Speed Envelope

Standard 30 r/min operation supports mainstream Superpave practice, while up to 60 r/min configuration can be supplied for project methods that specify higher gyration rates.

High-Stiffness Steel Frame

Engineered for maximum stability with minimal deformation, ideal for mobile labs and high-precision design verification.

Real-time Visualization

7-inch touchscreen displays dynamic curves (Pressure/Height vs Cycles) for immediate process analysis and monitoring.

Coaxial Load Sensing

Integrated high-accuracy sensor (±0.1% FS) provides unparalleled control of vertical compaction forces up to 13kN.

Superpave Data Export

Full record logging with USB data export supports density development records, mix design spreadsheets, and documented compaction reports.

Superpave gyratory compaction for asphalt mix design

LS-GC100 Superpave Gyratory Compactor (SGC) is an asphalt mixture gyratory compactor for preparing cylindrical asphalt specimens under AASHTO T312, ASTM D6925, EN 12697-31. The standard configuration supports mainstream Superpave and EN workflows, while quoted extended 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 positioning the machine as a single-market special model. It supports density, height, internal angle, gyration count, N-initial, N-design, N-max, and compaction data for mix design, quality control, and pavement research.

Technical FAQ

What is LS-GC100 Superpave Gyratory Compactor (SGC) used for?

LS-GC100 prepares cylindrical asphalt mixture specimens for Superpave volumetric mix design, road-material QC, density development analysis, and downstream performance tests that require compacted asphalt specimens.

Which standards does LS-GC100 support?

The standard LS-GC100 platform supports AASHTO T312, ASTM D6925, and EN 12697-31 workflows. Extended angle and speed configurations can be supplied for laboratories that need AS/NZS 2891.2.2-style settings, including the 240 kPa / 2° / 60 r/min parameter envelope when specified in the quotation.

What should I confirm before ordering a gyratory compactor?

Confirm the target standard, mold diameter, specimen height range, compaction pressure, required internal angle, gyration speed, reporting format, calibration route, spare molds, paper discs, and whether the laboratory needs routine QC or research flexibility.

Can Lithostek configure LS-GC100 for my laboratory?

Yes. Lithostek application engineers can review specimen format, target standards, throughput, power supply, data output, accessories, and calibration documents before quoting the suitable LS-GC100 configuration.
