Ammann unveils containerised QuickBatch mobile asphalt mixing plant
January 6, 2017
In response to customer demand, Ammann has developed a new QuickBatch 180 containerised mobile asphalt mixing plant that is easy to transport and quick to set up. It uses a simple “plug and play” electric system.
The new Terex Finlay I-100RS direct drive 86cm x 86cm horizontal impact crusher with variable speed is said to give operators unprecedented levels of fuel efficiency and production in both recycling and quarrying applications. Furthermore, the robust Terex chamber is said to ensure excellent reduction ratios and high consistency of product shape.
The machine features an onboard 2.44m x 1.2m single deck screen for sizing and recirculating oversize material back to the crushing chamber. The sizing screen
Mobile crushing and screening solutions have become a key component for the aggregate production sector - Mike Woof writes. The market for mobile crushing and screening solutions has grown enormously in recent years. With the first track-mounted mobile units having appeared in the 1980s and pioneered by a small number of manufacturers, the range and variety of units on the market has grown enormously since.
Recycling materials offers the road ahead for highway construction - * Don Brock writes. Recycling has been used in the US for over 50 years in various industries. Today, steel is 100% recycled, and many other products that we have can be recycled.Environmental groups have aggressively pushed industries to recycle more, but it is either economically driven or legislatively driven.In the highway industry it has predominately been economically driven and discouraged by stakeholders such as aggregate producers
Studies show the asphalt sector has options for materials use that can lower costs and emissions, as well as increasing the use of recycling
One study in the UK led by the Carbon Trust and Lafarge Tarmac has found that low temperature asphalt (LTA) could be used as an alternative to conventional asphalt on roads. Conventional asphalt is made when aggregates and bitumen are bound together at temperatures of between 180ºC-190ºC.
However, the trial found that the alternative is able to bond road materia
