Innovations in materials technology, as well as machines, could provide a major boost to the concrete paving sector - Mike Woof reports Development of new material technologies for the concrete paving sector continues apace and the latest innovations could provide the biggest boost for this market in many years. High performance cementitious material (HPCM) is an innovative concept that has been developed and tested for road surfacing applications as part of a project in which the UK's Transport Research La
Marini says that its innovative EvoDryer technology allows for a high percentage of RAP use in asphalt mixes while optimising quality. The system can help minimise emissions also, while ensuring high efficiency in asphalt batching operations. The new Marini EvoDryer offers high efficiency when introducing the RAP to the recycling ring, while also offering versatility.
Easier to operate, thanks to the increasing use of GPS, and greener to run because of biofuels are two of the more innovative technologies being integrated into machine design by major road recycling equipment manufacturers.
