As reclaimed asphalt pavement usage continues to increase as a way for producers to keep costs down while utilising stockpiles of RAP, 1250 Astec has increased the ability of its Double Barrel drum dryer/mixer to handle RAP.

The Astec Double Barrel HR includes enhancements to the drum which allows use of up to 65% RAP.
