Ammann unveils containerised QuickBatch mobile asphalt mixing plant
April 22, 2015
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 use of recycled materials continues to be a key issue for asphalt plant development, but other advances are also being introduced to meet market needs - Mike Woof writes
The asphalt plant market has been a focus for a series of technical developments in recent years. Warm asphalt solutions and new technology for the use of recycled asphalt have been high on the R&D priority list for manufacturers of both continuous and batching type plants.
However, new developing technology is not the only driver f
Plants for mixing asphalt are becoming more sophisticated than ever, while users are looking for ecological and technological benefits. Patrick Smith reports. When the Adige Bitumi Group decided to renew its old M 260 plant it chose to collaborate with Marini for the design and development of a plant with production of 280-300tonnes/hour.
Asphalt plant operators across continental Europe are said to be increasingly turning to pulverized lignite to fuel or partially fuel production, while leading plant manufacturers have been busy closing key deals with customers in Russia, Bangladesh and Switzerland. Guy Woodford reports.
Financially astute asphalt plant operators in Europe are said to be increasingly using pulverized lignite, also known as brown coal, from Germany to fuel or partially fuel production. Under the product name ‘Lignite Energ
Concrete mixing plants are becoming more flexible and innovative to ensure they meet increasingly stringent construction schedules.
Increasing demands are put on contractors to cut down the transportation of material to construction sites in the name of efficiency and the environment. For that reason concrete mixing plants are increasingly flexible in their transportation to sites, their set up times and their output.
