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.

    Benninghoven showcased the very latest in mixing plant technology at BAUMA, with the erection of a 50m-high BA4000 RPP tower at bauma. A new system for heating recycled material means that emissions are lowered, the heat of the exhaust gases is reduced which means the whole system is more efficient, and the bitumen in the recycled material is not damaged by direct contact with a flame. “This has been designed to optimise recycling,” said Benninghoven’s head of marketing Lars Henrich. “It can produce mix

  • Efficient processing of RAP in the mix
    December 19, 2017
    There are important methods aimed at the reuse and recycling of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) a number of problems have to be solved however, mainly concerning the elimination of moisture content and how best to heat the RAP without damaging the binder. When RAP is used in percentages of up to 30-40% of the final mix, heating can be carried out through direct contact with hot aggregates. On the other hand, in order to use higher RAP percentages, up to 100%, the plant has to be fitted with a specific h
