E-MAK is scoring its first asphalt plant supply deals to Europe

Turkish firm E-MAK is now supplying its asphalt plants to customers in Europe. The first plant is already commissioned in Bilbao in Spain with a second being delivered shortly to a customer in the UK.

The machine going to the UK is being supplied to a Derby-based firm that has previously concentrated on the concrete precasting and readymix market but is now widening its operations to include supplying asphalt. The firm is buying one of the E-MAK Express batching plants, which will offer a rated capacity of 160tonnes/hour.

Meanwhile, E-MAK also has high hopes for its proven Challenger aggregates storage system for customers in Europe. This machine can be used to receive large quantities of large aggregates, then crushes and screens the materials before storing them inside. Using the Challenger can make significant energy savings for asphalt production as the aggregates are stored in a dry place, reducing the amount of heating and fuel required by the asphalt plant.

Ac Emre Gencer at E-MAK commented, “According to our tests you can save a minimum of 38% of energy in asphalt production and that can rise to 62% in winter.”

Given the need to reduce the carbon footprint of materials production for construction, E-MAK believes it has a credible solution that can deliver major benefits to contractors.

    Improved surface quality and improved machine design are key trends in the asphalt paving sector, Mike Woof reports There is a big difference in asphalt paving techniques in North America and Europe. In North America, the need to construct long stretches of highway quickly resulted in wide pavers offering high throughput capacity, with compaction equipment then being used to achieve the required density of the various courses. In Europe's highway construction projects, distances tend to be shorter and contr

    New developments will broaden the asphalt paving market - Mike Woof reports. A new approach to materials could help address rising bitumen costs. Increased use of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) in road construction can cut a major chunk from paving costs, with an array of technologies now available. In the US, RAP is one of the most widely recycled materials and current techniques allow roads built with this material to perform well for all traffic conditions. Some European countries are also making widesp
