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.

With a clear differentiation between the US and European asphalt paving markets, manufacturers from the latter are now developing machines aimed at the former. The US and European markets for paving machines have developed along very different lines. North American pavers are designed for high throughputs and high paving rates, having been designed to meet a need to build roads over long distances wi
