Before we dive into the specifics of hot mix plants, let’s understand what they are. A hot mix plant, also called an asphalt drum mix plant, is a machine that mixes concrete, asphalt, coarse and fine aggregates, and filler materials to create a uniform mixture at the required temperature.
These plants are primarily used in road construction. The cold aggregate mixer helps lay the base layer of the road, while the hot aggregate is used to create the top, finished layer.
Create Two Types of Mobile Asphalt Hot Mix Plants.
Most prevalent hot mix plants have capacities of somewhere between 40-160tph overall. The capacity depends on the size of the project and the batches that are required.
In simple terms, a portable batch hot mix plant produces hot mix in batches. Designed to be containerized, it is a popular choice for road construction. The portable nature of the plant gives road constructors the flexibility to move it easily to different locations. These plants can be set up quickly, often within a few days, and don't require a civil foundation. Despite this, they can still produce high-quality hot mix for all road construction needs.
Batching Plant is dependent on four main functions:
Asphalt plants can be divided into two main types: batch mix plants and drum mix plants.
These plants produce hot mix asphalt in separate batches.
These plants produce hot mix asphalt continuously. This category includes drum mix plants and counterflow plants.
The main difference between these types lies not only in how they produce the mix but also in the quality of hot mix asphalt they create. Both types of plants can be adapted to produce hot mix asphalt using recycled materials, and they have variations that allow for the inclusion of RAP (Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement).
