The Bitumen Extractor, also known as a Centrifuge Extractor, is a laboratory testing instrument used for the quantitative determination of bitumen content in hot-mix asphalt, bituminous mixtures and pavement samples. The sample is treated with a suitable solvent to dissolve the bitumen, which is then separated from the aggregate through centrifugal action.
