Centrifuge Extractor – Motorised (Product Code: SLE/CE/83) is an electrically driven centrifuge used to wash bitumen out of bituminous paving mix samples with a solvent, so that binder content can be determined in highway and civil engineering laboratories. It takes samples of up to 1500 g and runs at 2,400 to 3,600 rpm, with a dimmer stat for speed control. It is made at its own Ambala factory by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM engineering lab equipment manufacturer in India.

Checking how much bitumen a mix really contains is a routine quality test on road projects. A weighed sample of loose mix is placed in the extractor bowl and soaked in solvent until the binder dissolves; the bowl is then spun so the solvent carrying the bitumen is thrown out and drained away. Washing and spinning are repeated until the solvent runs clear, and the dried aggregate left behind is weighed — the loss in mass gives the binder content.
The recovered aggregate can then be sieved to confirm the grading of the mix. With the dimmer stat, bring the speed up gradually rather than switching straight to full speed, so solvent does not splash. Work in a well-ventilated area, keep the lid secured while the bowl turns and wait for it to stop before opening. Laboratories comparing a laboratory centrifuge in India for bitumen work should match the 1500 g capacity to their usual sample size.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited (CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597), the OEM that makes this motorised centrifuge extractor. It is produced at the company's licensed factory premises at 449, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, which operate under Factory Licence AMB-ONLINE-CHD-J-414.
Highway laboratories, engineering colleges, dealers and importers buy direct from the factory, and requests for spare parts or repeat units go to the manufacturer itself — just ask us. The company profile describes ScienceLab in more detail.

What is the Centrifuge Extractor – Motorised used for?
The Centrifuge Extractor – Motorised (SLE/CE/83) is used to extract bitumen from bituminous mix samples with a solvent, so the binder content can be worked out from the loss in mass. The aggregate recovered afterwards can also be sieved to check its grading.
What sample capacity and speed range does the motorised extractor have?
The Centrifuge Extractor – Motorised takes samples of up to 1500 g and runs at speeds from 2,400 to 3,600 rpm. The speed is adjusted with a dimmer stat, which lets the operator raise it gradually at the start of each spin.
What power supply does the Centrifuge Extractor – Motorised need?
The Centrifuge Extractor – Motorised works on a 230 V, 50 Hz, single-phase AC supply. If your laboratory uses a different voltage or frequency, tell us when you enquire so that we can advise before the order is placed.
How does the motorised extractor differ from the hand-operated model?
The Centrifuge Extractor – Motorised is driven electrically with dimmer-stat speed control, so the speed does not depend on turning a handle and stays more even over repeated washes. The Centrifuge Extractor Hand Operated suits locations without an electricity supply.
Who manufactures the Centrifuge Extractor – Motorised?
The Centrifuge Extractor – Motorised is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. It is supplied factory-direct to laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
What precautions apply when using the motorised centrifuge extractor?
Use the Centrifuge Extractor – Motorised in a well-ventilated area because extraction solvents give off vapours. Raise the speed gradually with the dimmer stat, keep the lid secured while the bowl turns, and let it stop completely before opening or adding more solvent.
