Marini’s sophisticated EvoDryer offers a quality mix

Marini’s efficient EvoDryer system is said to offer high efficiency and high quality for asphalt batching applications. The drum is now longer and the burner has been redesigned to ensure performance is maximised.

A key feature of the reconfigured design is with the reduction of blue smoke from the pugmill and discharge areas. This is now collected and filtered to minimise emissions.

Meanwhile, the air out of the drum is also filtered to reduce emissions. And the hot air is also recirculated into the drum, boosting efficiency and reducing fuel consumption. Recirculating the air also reduces the emissions from the plant, a major boost for environmental performance.

    Rising energy costs and increased awareness of safety and environmental issues have encouraged the development of Warm Mix Asphalts (WMA), which are typically produced at temperatures of between 130°C and 145°C, compared with around 175°C for traditional Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). WMAs are regularly used in many European countries, as well as both North and South America. The three most common ways to lower the working temperature of asphalt are: a) foaming technologies; b) wax additives; and c) chemical (surfa

    Effective compaction control is one of a series of technical innovations boosting performance efficiency – Mike Woof writes. Maximising compaction efficiency can be a major cost factor on construction projects. Both for soil and asphalt compaction sectors, the risk from leaving an area under or over-compacted is substantial.

In Germany alone, a network of asphalt roads extending more than 600,000km will have to be maintained or repaired. Highway maintenance techniques do vary between European countries but some commonalities exist. There are techniques that have been sidelined in the last few years but which now
