Asphalt mixing plant consists of two aggregate bins and a heated tank for liquid asphalt. Before entering the drum-type rotary kiln, aggregates are precisely proportioned. Aggregates are carried to the drier by an elevator where the extra moisture content of an aggregates are dried up. After being thoroughly dried and heated they are discharged directly into an insulated holding or surge bin at the back of the asphalt mobile plant. Liquid asphalt is heated with electric heating system and along with proportioned stone are brought in the mixing drum at the front of the unit. The end materials are finally applied to the roads for the pavement.
