Ammann aims for light compaction

March 11, 2017
Well-known for its asphalt plants, Ammann also has a well-rounded line of cutting-edge light compacting machines, including four-directional and hydraulic plates. Three-shaft exciter technology means that higher moisture or clay content is not a problem, with operators able to work from silts to 3-inch aggregates – while the ACR68 and ACR60 tampers are high impact, high stroke and very stable

    February 10, 2016
    Ammann has developed a prototype autonomous vibratory plate. This innovative tool allows fast working in dangerous work areas and has been recognised by the bauma innovation awards for its advanced technology. The plate is said to be easy to use and the operator first sets out the boundaries by remotely navigating the plate around the jobsite perimeter. The compactor is then able to start work on its own in the set area while the operator carries out other tasks. The machine automatically detects the set bo

  • Asphalt plant development is heading in different directions?
    June 14, 2017
    Developments in asphalt plant technology are seeing major gains in energy efficiency and the use of RAP but some manufacturers are moving in different directions - Mike Woof writes. Asphalt Drum Mixers is offering its EX120 asphalt plant as a solution for producers needing a portable counterflow plant that can process high percentages of RAP. The plant features single-drum counterflow technology and is said to be compact, with a capacity of 120tonnes/hour, while the firm says that the machine meets all fede

  • Easy operating
    July 31, 2012
    Modern asphalt plants are a far cry from the early models, and are capable of producing a wide variety of mixes at the touch of a button. Patrick Smith reports Cutting-edge software-based control technology makes today's asphalt mixing plants simple and efficient to operate. The tightening of clean air regulations is reducing the emissions from the plants, and the current focus is on the goal of raising the processed portion of reclaimed asphalt (RA) towards 100%, says Ammann Group, which has been involved
