Sectional Moulds for specimens up to 300mm thick
Extra large 700mm long x 500mm wide x 100-300mm thickLarge 500mm long x 180mm wide x 50-200mm thick
Easily change from
Slab compaction to Wheel Tracking
Quick change-over from compaction to wheel tracking. Segmented roller neatly pivots out of the way during compaction
Slab compaction and wheel tracking in one mould therefore no grouting
required
AUSTRACKNow you can perform close to full scale, wheel tracking performance tests on asphalt and unbound granular material at a fraction of the cost of an Accelerated Pavement Tester (APT).

The IPC Global AUSTRACK Extra-Large / Large Wheel Tracker & Roller Compactor is a combination machine capable of meeting the requirements of EN 12697-22 (6.1 and 6.2) Wheel tracking and EN 12697-33 Specimen Prepared by Roller Compactor: Steel Roller Method.

Axial load is applied by a digitally servo controlled large diameter base mounted servo pneumatic actuator with a maximum capacity of 30kN. Roller guided mould facilitates safe and easy sample preparation, insertion and extraction. An insulated enclosure provides sound proofing and temperature control from ambient to 60ºC.
SpeCimeN SizeSTwo modular mould sizes made up in sections enables compaction of materials in one or more layers to various depths (±2 mm) e.g.:
• 500x180 x 50 mm
• 500x180 x 100mm
• 500x180 x 200mm
• 700x500x 100mm
• 700x500x 200mm
• 700x500x 300mm
