Mobility and versatility are key features of some of the latest asphalt plants now being offered. Ease of transport and quicker assembly and commissioning are capabilities seen on new asphalt plants introduced during 2019. The ability to use RAP is another important feature being seen in all of the sophisticated new plants coming to market.

Despite a high output, Benninghoven’s ECO plants can be transported easily
1250 Astec has developed its BG series of batching plants around a modular design concept, with the BG1800 model unveiled at 688 bauma 2019. Featuring an 1,800kg capacity mixer, the BG1800 is designed to be easy to transport and erect, while able to deliver outputs of up to 120tonnes/hour depending on the type of feed and mix required. The BG1800 has a 2m diameter drum and 15m2 of screen area, while its drum is equipped with the firm’s novel stainless steel V-flights, which boost operating life. The full BG range is for plants from 100-240tonnes/hour, with the units able to be equipped to handle up to 40% RAP in the feed, as well as being designed with low maintenance needs.
Modular design helps boost versatility and mobility for Astec's BG1800 plant
Despite being able to produce from 100-320tonnes/hour, 167 Benninghoven’s ECO plants are containerised, making them highly mobile and able to be moved easily from site to site. Users can select from an array of features due to the modular design, with the option to install additional components later on if required. Additional towers can be added if needed and the plants are said to suit use on motorway or airport jobs where large material quantities may be required. Other features include the integrated material loading system.
According to 8591 CMI Roadbuilding, its Magnum Bullet plant, is designed to be assembled and commissioned onsite in very little time. Its versatility is further boosted by the ability to use up to 35% RAP in the feed. The plant can produce up to 150tonnes/hour and features a proven counterflow configuration.
246 Intrame’s Flow Mix continuous plants feature a drier and separate mixer and can use up to 50% RAP in the feed, according to the firm. However, the firm says that its parallel drum plants can use up to 75% RAP in the feed.
Modular design means that customers for Lintec & Linnhoff’s CE3000 plant can select from an array of options. This allows the customer to configure a plant to specific requirements, such as adding the firm’s warm mix system, silo options or recycling circuits. Capacities can range from 200-240tonnes/hour, depending on the type of feed and material being produced.
Benninghoven plant owned by Breisach-based Johann Joos Tief- und Straßenbauunternehmung is 40 years old but now features new technology, increasing its range of capabilities.
To meet demands for the use of RAP, the plant has been reconfigured with the latest technology from Benninghoven. This new addition to the plant will allow its facility as a Recycling Priority Plant (RPP). The plant upgrade features a Benninghoven BA 4000 system with a capacity of up to 320tonnes/hour.

The use of recycled materials continues to be a key issue for asphalt plant development, but other advances are also being introduced to meet market needs - Mike Woof writes
The asphalt plant market has been a focus for a series of technical developments in recent years. Warm asphalt solutions and new technology for the use of recycled asphalt have been high on the R&D priority list for manufacturers of both continuous and batching type plants.
However, new developing technology is not the only driver f
A wide variety of new equipment and technology to assist production at asphalt plants is about to be launched onto the market, while asphalt producers are continuing to look at greener working practices. Guy Woodford reports
Lintec, in partnership with Loesche, recently created what they say is the world's first containerised Coal Mill Plant for independent coal dust supply at the jobsite which offers mobility and high economic efficiency through the substitution of gas or oil with coal.
