Improved conveying for asphalt plants

Asphalt Drum Mixers says that its full line of drag slat conveyors can be used with all of its asphalt plants and offer high performance. ADM says a key feature too is that its conveyors can be used with plants from other manufacturers. The heavy-duty conveyors are said to offer long working life and can handle material transport ratings as high as 450tonnes/hour.

ADM offers high performance, long-lasting drag conveyors for use with asphalt plants
1253 Asphalt Drum Mixers says that its full line of drag slat conveyors can be used with all of its asphalt plants and offer high performance. ADM says a key feature too is that its conveyors can be used with plants from other manufacturers. The heavy-duty conveyors are said to offer long working life and can handle material transport ratings as high as 450tonnes/hour.


ADM says that it designs its conveyors for maximum durability by using reinforced weld-on slats and chrome carbide wear liners on the slat floor and along the sidewalls. The conveyors have a segmented sprockets design, which allows for access to the stairways, handrails and maintenance platforms.

Full-length hinged steel casing covers come standard on the drag slat conveyors and optional blue-smoke recovery systems mount on the conveyor to reduce emissions from silo tops. The firm customises its drag slat conveyors to meet user needs by offering either formed-steel or all-welded bridge beam construction. Customers can choose between a single- or double-hardened steel roller chain.
