SAFETY NOTICE WARNING DO NOT CONNECT THE ACCELERATED POLISHING MACHINE TO ELECTRICAL POWER UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A CONVENIENT LOCATION FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. TO GUARD AGAINST INJURY, THE FOLLOWING BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE OBSERVED IN THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT.
PERSONAL SAFEGUARDS. • Do not tamper with the machine whilst it is operating. • Care must be taken when removing / replacing the Road Wheel. It is heavy. • Loose clothing must be properly secured. • Suitable personal protective clothing should be worn when operating or cleaning the machine, e.g.
Function The function of the Accelerated Polishing Machine is to produce polished stone samples of aggregates used in road surfaces, to simulate actual road conditions. The samples produced form an integral part of the Polished Stone Value (PSV) Test. The PSV Test is a friction test that calculates a measure of resistance to skidding, performed using a Skid Resistance Tester.
Machine Features • Heavy welded steel mainframe, standing on adjustable anti-vibration mounts. • A steel main spindle running in sealed ball bearings, protected by a labyrinth seal. (The spindle is axially loaded to eliminate end-play). • 3Ø motor with speed control and an adjustable timing belt drive. •...
INSTALLATION AND LEVELLING. On receipt. Inspect the unit for any damage incurred during transit. Check the loose components against the Packing List below. Item Operating Instructions Specimen Moulds Mould Plates Flour Spreader Feeder Unit (Corn Emery) Feeder Unit (Flour Emery) Water Tower &...
tyre will tend to take up a distinct track at some position across the running face of the tyre. The object of this levelling procedure is to ensure that this track is centrally disposed across the tyre. Check that the Corn Emery Tyred Wheel is fitted to the Pivoted Arm, and that this arm is lifted clear of the Road Wheel by turning the Handwheel (situated behind the weight), fully clockwise.
On depressing the START button, the “eye” will glow brightly. An unlit “eye”, indicates that the machine has either “timed out” or the safety cover isn’t fitted. PREPARING SPECIMENS. Sand, Cement, and Mortar Specimens are now considered obsolete. Resin Specimens - It is essential to retain the Metal Backing Plate firmly clamped to the mould until the resin has completely cured.
WATER FEED. Remove the Water Tank Lid and fill the tank to a level so that the water is approximately 25mm from the tank lip. Refit the Water Tank lid and ensure that it is secure. Open the valve on the tank outlet and adjust the knurled knob at the base of the flowmeter to the required flow.
On completion of the timed run, raise the pivoted arm clear of the Road Wheel. Disconnect the machine from the supply voltage. Release the safety cover and remove the Road Wheel from the machine. Thoroughly clean out the spent abrasives. It is essential to clean the feeder thoroughly at the end of each run.

there is no need to reset the Timer to continue the test. The machine can be restarted with the Start/Stop Switch in the normal manner. The machine will continue its test until the pre-set time is reached. The Feeder Units must be set with a gap between the bottom of the Hopper and the surface of the belt to allow free rotation.

PSV TESTS - PRODUCT RANGE In accordance with BS EN 1097-8:2000, to determine the PSV it is necessary to use the Skid Resistance Tester & Base Plate. Skid Resistance Tester Introduction The Skid Resistance Tester was originally developed by the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) to study the problems in design and maintenance of public highways.
Physical Data (Boxed) Width 70 cms Depth 30 cms Height 70 cms Volume 0.15 cu meters Weight 31 Kg Standard Accessories Carrying Case - Sturdy case with dense foam inserts giving excellent protection. ‘F’ Scale - Built in, for use with small slider set for 76mm-slide length. Set of 6 Sliders - Certificate included.
AGGREGATE ABRASION MACHINE Introduction Inadequate abrasion resistance of road surfacing aggregates means an early loss of the texture depth required to maintain high speed skidding resistance. The Aggregate Abrasion Machine provides engineers with a medium to test and measure the resistance of aggregate to surface wear by abrasion. The Aggregate Abrasion Value (AAV).
