Asphalt Drum Mix Plant – High-Performance Continuous Asphalt Mixing Solution for Road Construction
The construction of roads in the modern world requires velocity, accuracy, and uniformity, and an Asphalt Drum Mix Plant is essential to the fulfillment of these objectives. This plant is a continuous production of hot mix asphalt, which is designed to mix aggregates, bitumen, and filler material in one drum and form a uniform high-quality product that can be used in road structures, highways, and airport runways.
We are among the top Asphalt Drum Mix Plant manufacturers in India, and Mewad Equipments provides state-of-the-art and energy-efficient, environment-friendly asphalt mixing, which are trusted by contractors and government infrastructure developers around the world. Asphalt Drum Mix Plant in India has a different capacity of 15 TPH to 150 TPH.
What is an Asphalt Drum Mix Plant?
An Asphalt Drum Mix Plant (also referred to as a continuous asphalt mixing plant) is an item of road construction equipment that is used to manufacture asphalt continuously. It uses one rotating drum that operates as a drying tower, heating tower, and mixing tower in one, thus eliminating the need of having separate mixing towers, as is the case with batch-type asphalt plants.
The fact that it has a continuous production process enables its application in mass road construction, where a lot of quality asphalt and a great rate of production is required.
What is the Working Process of an Asphalt Drum Mix Plant?
The principle of work of an asphalt drum mixing plant is simple but effective. It consists of the constant feeding and mixing of aggregates and bitumen at a controlled temperature.
Step-by-Step Process
Step 1 – Aggregate Heating & Drying
The aggregates are pumped into the drying drum through which they are burned in a burner (diesel, LDO, or gas-fired). The famine drum ensures the even spread of the heat and removal of moisture.
Step 2 – Bitumen & Filler Addition
In the same drum, the hot aggregates are mixed with bitumen and mineral filler (e. g. stone dust or fly ash ).
Step 3 – Bitumen & Filler Addition
The hot aggregates are mixed with bitumen and mineral filler (stone dust or fly ash) in the same drum.
Step 4 – Mix Discharge
The final mix of asphalt is transferred to the storage silo or loaded into trucks, which are taken to the paving site.
Types of Asphalt Drum Mix Plant
