The Way An Asphalt Batch Mix Plant Functions
Mixing different sizes and grades of aggregates in asphalt mix plants produces asphalt material. These aggregates are mixed with the appropriate amount of liquid bitumen, and heated together to create hot asphalt mixture. Asphalt is a mix of bitumen and pulverized stones that is used for making pavements. There are a few factors that determine the characteristics and quality of an asphalt mix. These factors include the amount of aggregate used and the type or recycled pavement. How does hot mix asphalt get made? Once the aggregates have dried, they are heated to coat them with bitumen. You can dry the aggregate by rolling it in a dryer drum. To evaporate dampness and generate heat, the dryer drum is heated to below. The aggregate remains in the top half of drum. The interior contains several types of flight that heat the drum. The mixing chamber is where the aggregates are covered with bitumen.
