From the biggest asphalt plants to the smallest vibratory plates: whatever your job size, the company can handle it - and the technology is easy to use too
A new generation plant from Ammann is proving useful for an asphalt supplier in India. The firm is using an Ammann ABA UniBatch asphalt mixing plant, which is utilising recycled asphalt in the mix.
The firm, RKC Infrabuilt, is based in Ahmedabad, India. The machine’s ability to utilise recycled asphalt (RAP) in place of fresh aggregate is the key cost saver. In addition, the ABA UniBatch plant is also able to maintain high mix quality while repurposing the RAP.

Advances in asphalt plant technology were in major evidence at the bauma 2016 exhibition in Munich - Mike Woof writes
One of the most apparent developments at bauma 2016 was the strong focus on asphalt plant technology. The massive physical presence of the asphalt plants could be seen from a distance, right across the showground, particularly the 50m-high machine Benninghoven had opted to exhibit. However, other plant systems from rival firms Ammann, Lintec and Marini, as well as Turkish company E-MAK, c
A versatile range of compaction tools is now being offered by Ammann to customers in China and the rest of Asia. Several light compactors are available, with the firm introducing two updated models to the region.
The company claims that its APF 15/50 Forward Moving Vibratory Plate Compactor combines a powerful exciter system with low hand-arm vibration (HAV) levels. The result is a powerful compactor that is said to be both comfortable and safe for operators. The plate features a working width of 500mm and
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
