ARC - ELECTROMECHANICAL ASPHALT ROLLER COMPACTOR
B039
EN 12697-33
The machine has been developed and manufactured entirely by Matest. It works with an
electromechanical system and therefore it does not require any air source (compressor) or
hydraulic pressure.
It is used to produce representative sample slabs of several dimensions of bituminous mixtures
laid and compacted on site.
The compaction is performed through a segmented roller with alternated operated rotation which
simulates the on-site action of a street roller.
The compaction cycle can be programmed in accordance to a certain load or deformation value.
The flexibility of the program grants the production of samples with uniform density and
dimensions, fully meeting Standards specifications and research requirements; these samples
are compatible for rut test with Matest Wheel Tracking apparatus B038.
The sample slabs can be also cored or cut off to obtain cylinders and beams for bending fatigue,
indirect tensile, static and dynamic creep, stiffness, and 4-point tests.
Main features:
sturdy frame made of steel
electromechanical system
perfect horizontal flatness of the slab surface
uniform density and dimensions of the slabs
integrated touch screen control unit based on Windows operating system
direct Internet and Intranet connection for remote technical assistance
heating of the segment roller (optional)
it accepts rollers and moulds of different sizes
it also compacts slabs of 500x400mm, thick up to 180mm that can be used with

The Pavemix prepares homogeneous bituminous mixtures at a strictly controlled temperature.
The preparation of the bituminous sample is obtained in a short time period to avoid any
mechanical degradation and to fully coat all mineral components.
It consists of:

UNIvERSAL HYDRAULIC
SERvO-CONTROLLED MACHINE 600 kN
H003N
Servo-controlled machine with digital TOUCH SCREEN system to
perform static tensile tests on metals.
EN 10002 / EN ISO 6892 / EN ISO 7500-1 / ASTM A370
The machine is designed to perform both tensile tests using the grips placed in
the clamping heads, and also flexural, compression, bending, hardness, dish-
ing and other tests in the upper part of the frame - between the head and the

UNIvERSAL MACHINE FOR TENSILE/COMPRESSION TESTS
H011-01N
EN 10002 / EN ISO 6892 / EN ISO 7500-1 / ASTM C39 / ASTM E4
Servo-controlled testing machine with TOUCH SCREEN control unit.
This machine has a compact design and is used to perform tensile tests on
steel reinforced round bars with a diameter from 6 to 25 mm, and flat bars
with max. dimensions of 25x15 mm (max. capacity: 500 kN).
It can also carry out compression tests on concrete cubes with max. side of
150 mm, and cylinders with max. diameter of 160x320 mm (max. capacity:
1500 kN).
A hydraulic selector allows the operator to select the tensile or the compres-
sion test.
The four columns loading frame is overdimensioned to provide high rigidity
and stability.

FRONT LOADING OEDOMETER
S260
ASTM D2435-80 / ASTM D3877 / ASTM D4546 / BS 1377:5
The oedometer is conceived for consolidation test on soil specimen
which is axially loaded and laterally contained. The machine
determines the settlement characteristic of the specimen in a given
period of time.
This model can be set with dial gauge or digital data acquisition
system.
EDOTRONIC
AUTOMATIC CONSOLIDATION APPARATUS (OEDOMETER)
S262N
ASTM D2435-80 /BS 1377:5
This automatic consolidation system is ideal for modern and efficient laboratories.
It has been created to eliminate or reduce to the absolute minimum any forms of manual
intervention, providing results in greater efficiency and cost effectiveness.
Easy to use, Edotronic is equipped with a digital control unit with color touch-screen display and
comes with the OedoLab Connect software (code S262-12N).
