Asphalt Drum Mix Plants
An AsphaltDrum Mix Plant is a continuous, compact, and highly efficient system used
to produce hot mix asphalt for road construction and maintenance. It integrates
multiple operations like drying, heating, mixing, and discharging asphalt in a
single drum. Unlike batch mix plants, drum mix plants ensure uninterrupted
production, making them ideal for large-scale and long-haul paving projects.
These plants are favored for their simplicity, mobility, low operating costs,
and ability to produce consistent asphalt quality even under demanding
conditions.
Top 10 FAQs of Asphalt Drum Mix Plants
- What is the main purpose of
an asphalt drum mix plant?
To produce hot mix asphalt used for paving roads and highways. - How does a drum mix plant
differ from a batch mix plant?
Drum mix plants produce asphalt continuously, while batch plants produce in discrete batches. - What are the key components
of a drum mix plant?
Cold aggregate feeder, drying drum, burner, bitumen tanks, mineral filler unit, control panel, and pollution control unit. - What type of fuel is used in
drum mix plants?
Diesel, furnace oil, or natural gas are commonly used to power the burner. - Can recycled asphalt
pavement (RAP) be used?
Yes, modern drum mix plants can integrate RAP for sustainable production. - Are these plants stationary
or mobile?
They come in both stationary and mobile variants depending on project needs. - What is the typical
production capacity?
Ranges from 20 TPH (tons per hour) to over 150 TPH. - What control systems are
used?
Fully automatic PLC-based or semi-automatic systems to ensure precise operations. - Is pollution control
necessary?
Yes, plants include dust collectors like wet scrubbers or baghouse filters to meet environmental standards. - How long does it take to set
up a drum mix plant?
Depending on the model, setup can take a few days to a couple of weeks.
