Asphalt is a time-tested paving material that is known for being a more economical alternative to concrete, and with better adhesion in ice and snow. Asphalt has high demand in these countries, and even in tropical countries.
If you have a project to pave asphalt, there are many different types of asphalt plants that you can use. There are many factors to consider, such as the asphalt plant type, style, size, brand and budget. Lintec and Linnhoff brands can offer many options, so you need to decide on these depending on your current project, but you can also factor in your long-term operations. Type of Asphalt Plants There are two types of Asphalt plants in terms of their process: The asphalt Batching Plant and the Asphalt Drum Plant (or continuous plant).
The Asphalt Batching Plant, also called the Asphalt Batch Plant, is so named because their process involves making the mix in batches, specifically in the batching plant mixer. The aggregate materials will be screened and divided into respective sizes and stored in the hot bin. The next step is for the conveyor belt to transport the mixture of processed aggregates based on a formula as determined by the application. These are fed to a rotary dryer to remove the moisture and subsequently a burner to heat up the aggregate mixture. When the prescribed time lapses, it is dispensed into the holding bin or the truck, depending on its destination. That process constitutes one “batch.” The mix is controlled by the plant operator in the control center, and after one batch, you can program a new mixture formula for the next batch. So, if your project only requires a smaller volume of asphalt, or it requires different types of asphalt mixes, an asphalt batch mix plant is the right option.
The Drum Plant is better for projects where you need one type of mixture. The drum plant can produce more asphalt (compared to the batch plant) since it is essentially a drum mix plant which can provide a continuous mix of one particular set of mixture. Unlike the asphalt batch plant, the mix can run as long the ingredients are being fed. There is no need to stop after every batch (since, there is no batch at all). That can take about 20 - 30% of the production time. The drum plant will simplify the hot-mix process to its essentials by eliminating most of the steps taken by a batch plant to produce the mixture. A drum plant is able to do its job more economically. They also will operate at a higher rate of production for a given drum size because the mixing process is continuous. Now that you have determined the type of plant that would be more efficient for your project, the next step is to choose the style of asphalt plant.
Styles of plants asphalt plants There are two styles of asphalt plants: Portable and stationary. This deals with the nature and location of the project. Do you have multiple locations? Are the locations far apart from each other, which means there will be constant transport of high volumes of asphalt? Portable plants are those that can be installed and dismantled in various locations. Lintec and Linnhoff models are available in mobile batch mix plant and asphalt drum plants, and they have been designed for easy mobilization since they can be installed and dismantled in the span of days. Lintec models also have their plants built in ISO certified sea containers. The quality will ensure that the materials are durable even if you move multiple times. If you do not have the need to move around multiple times, the stationary asphalt is the more economical alternative. The mobile asphalt plants are necessary for certain projects with jobsites at remote locations.
