Description of Asphalt Drum Mix Plants
Asphalt Drum Mix Plant is a continuous type of
asphalt mixing equipment widely used in road construction industries for
producing hot mix asphalt (HMA). It is a highly efficient, modern, and fully
automatic plant designed to mix aggregates, bitumen, and filler material uniformly
to produce quality asphalt for paving roads.
Unlike batch mix plants, drum mix plants carry out
mixing and drying in the same drum, making the process faster, cost-effective,
and suitable for large-scale road construction projects. These plants are
available in stationary and mobile versions to meet diverse project requirements.
It is a vital machinery solution for infrastructure
development projects like highways, expressways, airports, rural roads, and
urban development.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Asphalt Drum Mix Plants
Q1. What is an Asphalt Drum Mix Plant?
→ It is a continuous type asphalt mixing equipment
used for producing hot mix asphalt (HMA) for road construction by combining
aggregates, bitumen, and filler materials in a rotating drum.
Q2. What is the main difference between a Drum Mix Plant
and a Batch Mix Plant?
→ In a Drum Mix Plant, the drying and mixing process
occurs in a single drum continuously, while in a Batch Mix Plant, these
processes are separate and conducted in batches.
Q3. What is the production capacity of Asphalt Drum Mix
Plants?
→ Available in capacities ranging from 40 TPH (tons per
hour) to 150 TPH or more based on the model and configuration.
Q4. What materials are used in Asphalt Drum Mix Plants?
→ Aggregates, Bitumen (Asphalt), Mineral Filler (Lime or
Dust), and optional additives.
Q5. Are these plants mobile or stationary?
→ Asphalt Drum Mix Plants are available in both
Mobile (Portable) and Stationary versions based on project requirements.
Q6. What are the main components of an Asphalt Drum Mix
Plant?
→ Cold Aggregate Feeder Bins, Conveyor Belts, Drying &
Mixing Drum, Bitumen Tank, Mineral Filler Unit, Pollution Control Unit, Control
Panel, and Storage Silo.
Q7. What is the fuel used in Asphalt Drum Mix Plants?
→ Diesel, Furnace Oil, LDO (Light Diesel Oil), or Natural
Gas can be used for heating and drying aggregates.
Q8. What is the control system used in these plants?
→ Advanced PLC-based Automatic Control Panel with
user-friendly HMI for monitoring and operation.
Q9. What is the advantage of using an Asphalt Drum Mix
Plant?
→ High production capacity, continuous operation, lower
operational cost, minimal maintenance, faster mixing, and suitability for long
stretches of road construction.
Q10. Which industries or projects commonly use Asphalt
Drum Mix Plants?
