Mobile recycling options

Wirtgen is broadening its recycling equipment line-up with its latest KMA220 RAP plant. This mobile machine has been designed to meet a need from contractors for a versatile plant that can be set up quickly when needed. The machine offers a mixing capacity of up to 220 tonnes/hour for the production of high-quality cold mixes for use on major highways carrying heavy traffic volumes from recycled material. The KMA220 replaces the earlier KMA200 model and offers a 10% increase in throughput. Power comes from

The Wirtgen KMA220 plant can be moved quickly from site to site and produces cold mix from an array of material types
2395 Wirtgen is broadening its recycling equipment line-up with its latest KMA220 RAP plant. This mobile machine has been designed to meet a need from contractors for a versatile plant that can be set up quickly when needed. The machine offers a mixing capacity of up to 220 tonnes/hour for the production of high-quality cold mixes for use on major highways carrying heavy traffic volumes from recycled material.

The KMA220 replaces the earlier KMA200 model and offers a 10% increase in throughput. Power comes from an onboard, six cylinder diesel rated at 131kW that meets the latest regulations on noise and exhaust emissions. The machine is equipped with a twin-shaft continuous mixer with wear-resistant mixing arms and adjustable blades made from a hard-wearing cast iron. The KMA220 delivers cold mix in batch mode or in continuous mode, with the material being directly loaded into trucks or stockpiled using the plant's slewing discharge conveyor. Mixes produced with foamed bitumen can be stored over extended periods of time.

The KMA220 is 13.4m long (14.71m including the cabin), 2.5m wide and 4m high, and weighs 30.5tonnes. The plant is mounted on a low-bed trailer and the only site set-up required is to swing in the cement auger, discharge conveyor and operator's cabin, while telescoping front support legs are folded out manually.

The plant can use a range of binding agents, while quality cold mixes are produced from a large variety of aggregate mixtures. The KMA220 offers a range of options for binding agents and can use cement, bitumen emulsion or even foamed bitumen. Adding water in addition to these, the mobile plant can be used to process source material into a cold mix suitable for use as a bound base layer. Further mixing options include the use of cement and bitumen emulsion, or cement and foamed bitumen.

    A good quality mix plays an important role in road construction and the asphalt manufacturing process starts with the mix design in the laboratory, which takes place under controlled conditions and depends on the materials available locally. A mix design that matches the plant's limitations has a higher probability of success. The properties of the aggregates, such as water absorption, abrasiveness, and the equivalent sand index, may influence the quality of the mix produced in the plant. In the laboratory

    Varna Airport in north-east Bulgaria provides an important international link for the country, with a runway rebuild helping improve capacity. The airport is of particular importance for Bulgaria’s tourist trade as it provides a major connection for visitors to the Black Sea coast. And the reconstruction work at Varna Airport’s only runway will ensure the facility is able to handle the area’s increasing visitor numbers. The project had to be carried out quickly and efficiently to prevent delays to f

  • A breakthrough in the horizontal reuse of PA (porous asphalt)
    May 12, 2016
    An ambitious objective has led to significant steps in the reuse of PA (porous asphalt). While the market incidentally produces PA with a maximum of 30% of recovered raw materials, BAM has introduced its own innovations, enabling more than 90% of raw materials to be reused. And this year, subsidies from the European Commission will enable the LE2AP demonstration project to be constructed: one kilometre of sustainable PA. Large-scale production is also being developed.
