Types of stationary asphalt concrete plants and their characteristics

Do you work in the asphalt industry and would like to purchase a reliable asphalt mixing plant?

Then you are probably interested in learning more about the main characteristics of such equipment and its most common classifications.

General Features and Benefits of Stationary Asphalt Batching Plants

Stationary asphalt mixing plants are modern road equipment that is installed on a specific site for a long time. Thus, many asphalt plants have been operating in the same area for 10 years or more.

What distinguishes these asphalt mixing plants from mobile asphalt plants?

Pay attention to how blocks and assemblies of units are placed in a stationary road machine: they are mounted on special foundation platforms. In turn, blocks and assemblies in mobile or mobile automated control systems are mounted on pneumatic trailers.

Let's talk about the advantages of such equipment:

  • The equipment has a higher productivity than mini asphalt plants or mobile road machines.
  • Road builders have access to a wider choice of various options for upgrading and retrofitting their automated control systems.
  • Simple and convenient maintenance due to good access to all components and assemblies.

Types of Stationary Asphalt Batching Plants

All ABZ can be divided into the following types:

  • Depending on the performance, there are:

– Equipment for small volumes of work, which produces up to 100 tons of mixture per hour.

- ACS of medium productivity, designed for the production of 100-150 tons per hour.

– Heavy installations used in the construction of large highways and highways. They produce over 150 tons of mixture.

  • Depending on the location of the units, there are models with ground and tower arrangement. The latter will be especially relevant for those road builders who can allocate a small area to accommodate their equipment.
  • Depending on the principle of operation: there are automated control systems for continuous and cyclic production. These two technologies have different principles of operation, respectively, the mixing of all components that make up the mixture occurs in different modes.

To choose and buy a good asphalt concrete plant, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the model range of PJSC Kredmash. This is a proven Ukrainian manufacturer that produces highly efficient modern equipment.

PJSC Kredmash - these are the best European components, the ability to prepare a mixture according to any of the certified European recipes, as well as excellent functionality that will satisfy the needs of any road builder.
