Innovative asphalt recycling system from E-Mak

Asphalt plant specialist E-Mak has developed and patented a hot recycling system that saves energy while ensuring bitumen is not damaged during the material recycling process. Cleverly, its new plant re-uses heat generated by the burner and flows it through the tower to improve heat regeneration to maintain product quality. Careful development of flights inside the tower increase the time it takes for material to descend, which also provides additional mixing capability while boosting heat absorption. E

E-Mak says that its patented hot recycling system saves energy and ensures that the valuable bitumen is not damaged
Asphalt plant specialist 208 E-MAK has developed and patented a hot recycling system that saves energy while ensuring bitumen is not damaged during the material recycling process. Cleverly, its new plant re-uses heat generated by the burner and flows it through the tower to improve heat regeneration to maintain product quality.

Careful development of flights inside the tower increase the time it takes for material to descend, which also provides additional mixing capability while boosting heat absorption. E-Mak is confident that its high efficiency plant design will boost asphalt recycling efficiency - output potential is up to 80tonnes/hour while using 35-40% RAP.

    Increasing asphalt plant sophistication will boost the capabilities for the use of recycled materials - Mike Woof writes Major innovation is being seen in the asphalt plant sector with many of the major manufacturers developing sophisticated new plants. The increased use of recycled materials and reduced fumes emissions are all important issues for the segment. In the US for example, the potential for recycled asphalt has been well identified. It is now one of the most frequently recycled industrial materia

    The pressure to conserve materials in road construction means that resource-saving technologies are more in demand than ever before. Wirtgen’s cold recycling process is already proven and has the potential to meet future demand. Roads subjected to continuous and heavy traffic often show signs of damage that extend down to the road base. To eliminate this damage, the entire road needs structural rehabilitation. Full reuse of the milled material as well as its cost-effective treatment make cold recycling with

  • Aggregate data aids hot mix asphalt production
    July 4, 2012
    Hot-mix asphalt (HMA) is produced at specialised facilities where various mixtures of aggregate are heated and dried, combined with liquid asphalt cement (also known as bitumen), and either stored in insulated silos or loaded into trucks and transported to a job site. Aggregate heating and drying is accomplished with various types of dryers, depending on whether a batch or continuous process is used. The continuous mix process uses aggregate drum dryers, designed to heat and dry measured quantities of grave
