Liebherr says its LRT 622 provides efficient and cost-effective concrete recycling
718 Liebherr claims its three-size LRT 622 trough system recycling plants provide cost-effective and efficient separation and recycling of pre-hardened concrete components from batching plants and truck mixers.

Process water from each recycling plant, collected in a sump tank and suspended by an agitator, is returned to the production plant. Sand and gravel is then washed clean ready for re-use as production aggregates.

The trough pattern on the LRT 622 holds a high amount of wash water so that larger quantities of material for recycling can be added at shorter intervals.

A sizeable loading hopper can be filled from virtually any angle and can contain up to two truck mixers at any one time.

The LRT 622 Concrete Recycling Plant has a trough length of 6000mm; a trough diameter of 2200mm; a solids discharge height of 2000mm; a drive motor rating of 11kW; and a throughput capacity of up to 20m³ per hour.

  • Astec’s Batch RAP stems ahead

    Standards are changing to allow higher percentages of RAP, and batch plant owners want to take advantage of the recycled material. But unsightly steam and dust can escape from the mixer. The best way to counter this is to meter the amount of RAP being added to a batch system rather than adding it all at once. This is where Astec’s Batch RAP system comes into play. “The trouble with running RAP in a batch plant is that if you just dump the RAP in fast, you have serious problems with steam,” according t
