Accelerated Polishing Machine (Product Code: SLE/AG/13) is a road-wheel machine used to simulate the polishing of road surfacing aggregate by tyre traffic in highway and quarry laboratories. Fourteen specimens sit around a road wheel running at 320 ± 5 rev/min while a rubber-tyred wheel bears on them with a 725 ± 10 N load. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer of scientific & laboratory instruments, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Selected chippings are packed into the precision machined moulds and bonded to form curved specimens, which release easily once set. Fourteen specimens are fitted around the road wheel, located by rubber rings and secured with the side fixing. The loaded tyre is then lowered onto the running surface with the mechanical lifting device, and the timer or revolution count is preset.
During the run the wheel turns at 320 ± 5 rev/min while abrasive and water are fed onto the contact; water flows by gravity from the high level tank through the calibrated flow meter, so the feed stays steady. Afterwards the specimens are removed and their skid resistance is measured with a separate friction tester to give the polished stone value.
For lab equipment installation in India, plan a level floor area for the 810 x 790 x 1230 mm machine, room for the elevated tank and a single phase socket; the adjustable pads take up small floor irregularities. Empty the waste tray after each run so abrasive does not dry into a crust, and lift off the guards periodically to clean around the wheel.
ScienceLab is the brand of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, and the company is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this Accelerated Polishing Machine. The machine is fabricated and assembled at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, then supplied factory-direct to highway authorities, quarry laboratories, research institutions, dealers and importers. When replacement rubber rings, moulds or other parts are needed later, ask us: the enquiry is answered by the manufacturer rather than a reseller. The company profile gives further background.

How many specimens does the Accelerated Polishing Machine take per run?
The Accelerated Polishing Machine takes fourteen specimens around its road wheel, located by rubber rings and held by simple side fixing, so a full set can be polished together under identical conditions.
What power supply does the Accelerated Polishing Machine use?
The Accelerated Polishing Machine is specified for 230 V / 110 V, 50/60 Hz single phase at 13 amp, and an inverter drive handles motor speed control. State your supply when ordering so it can be confirmed in the quotation.
How is the load applied to the specimens on the Accelerated Polishing Machine?
A tyred wheel of 200 ± 3 mm diameter and 38 ± 2 mm width, with 69 ± 3 IRHD hardness, bears on the specimens of the Accelerated Polishing Machine with a load of 725 ± 10 N; a mechanical lifting device raises and lowers it.
How is the run length set on the Accelerated Polishing Machine?
The Accelerated Polishing Machine has a digital display with a preset timer and revolution counter, so each run can be ended after a fixed time or after a fixed number of road wheel revolutions.
How is water delivered and collected on the Accelerated Polishing Machine?
Water for the Accelerated Polishing Machine is gravity fed from a high level tank, 155 cm high, through a calibrated flow meter, and used abrasive and water drain into an easily removable tray.
Who manufactures the Accelerated Polishing Machine?
The Accelerated Polishing Machine is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations and spare-part enquiries are handled directly by the manufacturer.
What size and weight should I plan for when shipping the Accelerated Polishing Machine?
The Accelerated Polishing Machine ships palletised at 1200 x 800 x 1280 mm with a maximum weight of 210 kg. Share your delivery address in India or abroad for a freight quotation from the manufacturer.
