Asphalt Drum Mix Plant

Product Description

An Asphalt Drum Mix Plant is a continuous asphalt production system designed to mix aggregates, bitumen, and fillers in a single rotating drum to produce hot mix asphalt efficiently. It is widely used in large-scale road construction projects due to its high output, lower operating costs, and consistent mixing quality. With advanced burner technology and robust construction, Asphalt Drum Mix Plants ensure uniform heating, reduced fuel consumption, and reliable performance, making them ideal for highways, expressways, and infrastructure development projects.

Specification of Asphalt Drum Mix Plant:

THERMO DRUM UNIT

• The Drying and Mixing unit of the asphalt plant demands complex flight design and heat transfer technology. With our passion to build the best machines, continuous R & D and incorporation of the latest design up-gradations, KEW thermo drum is way ahead of competition.
• The KEW thermo drum unit follows a triple heat transfer system that ensures a total transfer of heat to the aggregates, translating into higher productivity and lower fuel consumption. The heat is transferred to the aggregates using the conductive, connective and radiation techniques.
• The field proven unique flight design ensures total heat transfer, a thorough mixing & coating, lower emissions and prevention of bitumen oxidation.

DRUM MECHANICS

The 30-12oTph plants are supplied with a low maintenance cradle type drum drive. The auto lubrication system ensures proper and adequate lubrication on the chain drive thereby ensuring long life of machine with trouble free service. Optionally a four wheel friction drive, which is a standard on the 120 Tph and higher models, can be supplied.

Specially treated sprockets, thrust wheels, trunion rings & trunion rollers, engineered precisely for flawless and trouble free dryer drum rotation, ensures unlimited productivity. 

FAQs of Asphalt Drum Mix Plant:-

Q1. What is an Asphalt Drum Mix Plant?

An Asphalt Drum Mix Plant is a continuous mixing plant that produces hot mix asphalt by combining aggregates and bitumen inside a rotating drum.

Q2. How is a Drum Mix Plant different from a Batch Mix Plant?

A Drum Mix Plant works continuously, while a Batch Mix Plant produces asphalt in fixed batches, making drum plants more suitable for high-volume production.

Q3. Where are Asphalt Drum Mix Plants commonly used?

They are mainly used in highways, expressways, airport runways, and large road construction projects.

Q4. What are the advantages of using an Asphalt Drum Mix Plant?

It offers high production capacity, low fuel consumption, uniform mixing, and reduced operational costs.

Q5. Can an Asphalt Drum Mix Plant be customized?

Yes, it can be customized based on output capacity, fuel type, control system, and project-specific requirements.
