The South Central Superpave Center found this compactor to be "comparable 12 out of 12 times, a perfect rate of comparison." Ergonomic design allows the user to charge the mold or compact and extract the specimen, all without lifting the mold. Built-in, power-assisted specimen extractor means no hand pumping.
