Whenever we mention about the features we always write about a stationary asphalt plant. This article will be focused more on mobile asphalt plants and its advantages. I will try to focus on the features of mobile plants and how they can come handy. This equipment is handy for customers who want mobility or who want a plant which can be taken places when required. By having these features one does not want to compromise on the production. The plant should be neatly built and give non-stop production.

Usually when we think about mobile plants, we can visualize the equipment on wheels. The components of an equipment are broken down into separate modules and they are arranged in separate chassis so that they can be transported easily. Usually mobile plants offer fast erection and commissioning compared to their stationary counterparts.

The main task of mobile asphalt plants is to make good hot mix asphalt by consuming less space, time, money and at the same time the equipment needs to be maintenance free or low on maintenance.

Atlas offers portable plants to customers keeping in mind the above factors which are critical for an equipment of such type. The machine is designed in such a way that it meets the above mentioned points and that too without compromising on production.

There are specific advantages of a mobile plant over stationary plant such as that the mobile plant comes in three or four chassis with each chassis prewired and having its junction box. Portable asphalt mixers by Atlas comes with each chassis being equipped with foldable legs or screw type legs, heavy axles with pneumatic braking, safety lights, covers for tyres, king pin. Tyres, wheel rims and tubes are on customer’s scope. If required we can provide the same.

Some of the advantages offered are: fast installation and commissioning compared to stationary plant; plant can work easily with no or less foundation; built on a strong structure; less transportation costs; no compromise in production.

With host of features offered with Atlas portable asphalt plant for sale it is recommended for customer to spend a bit more on a equipment with value addition. We recommend that tyres, tubes and wheel rims be bought locally and yes don’t forget to mention the permissible dimensions for transportation of such equipment in your country so that the equipment can be customized.

An overview of Asphalt drum mix plant from atlas

Asphalt drum mix plant technology is one of the oldest technologies that we have today. It may not be the latest one as we have better machines now but its importance can certainly not be ignored. These equipment are preferred because they are ideal for high volumes of HMA, they are less expensive, take up less space, are economic to own and run compared to the other type. It is also easy to install and transport the machine as the numbers of components are less. The process is simple and maintenance inexpensive.

Some of the advantages of asphaltplants – drum mix type can be as below

Ideal for high production

• Requires less space
• Easy to install and run
• Easy to own and maintain
• Easy to transport
• No heavy foundation required
• No heavy cranes required for erection

The above advantages make this equipment ideal for fast production of hot mix asphalt in short time.

Basically we can classify asphalt drum mix plant into two types: counterflow and parallel flow type.

Counterflow type:

As the name suggests, this plant has the drum designed for counter flow heating. The flow of aggregates and the flame are opposite to each other and hence the name: counter flow. Here the aggregates enter the drum from one end and move towards the burner during the course of their journey. The main advantage here is that the aggregates get heated for a longer period of time compared to the other type. Longer period of time means that the burner can work with lesser load and consume less fuel compared to the parallelflow asphalt mixers.

Here the dust suction is at the entry point of the entry of aggregates which makes sure that the material heated is without unwanted dust. This is also key point when we consider fuel saving for dryer burner. The mixing process can be in the same drum behind the flame or in a separate drum or mixing unit.

We have developed double drum type plants where first drum is for mixing and as the material exits the first drum they are mixed with bitumen and filler material in the second drum. We also have plant with a pug mill type continuous mixer in place of the second drum. Material can be collected in storage silo or directly loaded into waiting trucks. It is easy to incorporate RAP into these plants. Atlas offers up to 25% RAP.

Parallel flow type:

Atlas is one asphalt drum mix plant manufacturer from India who offers both the types to the customers. Parallel flow machine is the one usually with a single drum for heating and mixing. The materials (aggregates) enter one end of the drum just below the flame of the burner and are heated immediately. As the material passes to the other end of the drum the move away from the flame. The other end of the drum it gets mixed with bitumen and filler material. 

Both these equipment are available in mobile designs for customers that want mobility.

Apart from this, Atlas also manufactures batch type machines for customers who want the ultimate equipment for manufacturing double drum asphalt plant

An investment for future: Asphalt plants

People involved with road construction industry understand the importance of Asphalt Plants. An asphalt plant is an important machine for a road contractor. Yes a road contractor can do without this equipment. It is also possible to make asphalt without having your own asphalt plant. Asphalt can be bought for road construction. But having your own equipment has more advantages than not having one.

Asphalt Batching Plant

It is important that we understand its importance and role in the road construction industry. Primarily road construction involves a lot of construction equipment like crushers, motor graders, soil compactors, road rollers, bitumen pressure distributors, etc. A lot of hard work and efforts goes into making a quality road along with the proper synchronization of these machines. Proper and timely functioning of these machines is important because this will ensure that the lead is maintained and not a single team will have to wait.

Hot mix asphalt plants are one of the most important machinery and without them road construction cannot be imagined. Asphalt is a natural binder and its properties make it an ideal material for the road construction. Though we have roads by concrete also, but roads by asphalt are easy to repair and maintain compared to concrete roads. With the proper use of these construction equipment, it becomes easier to build quality road.

Buying and investing in a quality equipment will pay you in long term.

•  Imagine a situation where you have to get a large quantity of asphalt in a short time and you are unable to get it from your asphalt seller. Your lead will come to an halt.

• Even in situations where you have to change recipes frequently, having your own Asphalt Batching Plant will do wonders for you. With your own equipment and operator you can control the output and quality as and when required. You can be absolutely relaxed as you can switch on the plant as and when required and start making hot mix material.

• Even if you have to shift the sites, you don’t have to worry about finding a supplier for hot mix and assessing his material till you are sure about his quality. You have your plant and you are the boss. You can take the equipment around wherever you want and start making asphalt.

You can find a large number of manufacturers worldwide dealing in road construction machinery and they will help you select the right equipment suiting your budgets and needs. But before approaching any manufacturer you have to ask yourself if you really want to invest in asphalt mixers? Investing in a equipment also comes with its share of disadvantages but if you have the right mindset and a good operator, it can do wonders for your company.
