Asphalt production:
the secret is in the mixing
A thermal mixing process is required to produce asphalt from aggregate and bitumen for road construction and an asphalt mixing plant is essential here. Whether road-mobile, transportable or stationary – every mixture is a winner with tailor-made solutions by BENNINGHOVEN, the specialist for asphalt mixing plants.
Production process
We generally differentiate between two types of processes in asphalt production: continuous production and discontinuous or batch production. In Europe, the batch production process is the most widespread type of asphalt production.
The right type of asphalt mixing plant for the intended purpose
While road-mobile and semi-mobile plants are usually used in areas with a less-developed infrastructure, high-performance stationary plants are normally popular in conurbations. BENNINGHOVEN provides flexible solutions for reliable and economic use and each BENNINGHOVEN plant is suitable for the production of both roller-compacted and mastic asphalt.
Stationary asphalt mixing plants
High-performance, stationary plants are more commonly used in conurbations. They are usually positioned at an easily accessible location, allowing for delivery to as large an area as possible while keeping delivery routes to building sites short. They are found, for example, close to motorway exits or in industrial estates in large cities. Some stationary asphalt mixing plants are located directly at mineral deposit sites such as quarries in order to minimize the cost of mineral aggregate deliveries. This type of plant requires a concrete foundation.
Transportable asphalt mixing plants
Transportable or semi-mobile plants are suitable for job sites which will only be operating for a specific period of time. They are generally acquired with the option of moving the plant to a different location, if required. This type of plant can be fitted with a fixed concrete foundation or a mobile steel foundation.
Transportable asphalt mixing plants in container design
The BENNINGHOVEN asphalt mixing plant in container design ECO can be used as a stationary plant but can also be moved to a new location quickly and without any problems. Production in standardized ISO sizes allows for easy transport and reduced erection times.
Road-mobile plants are suitable for job sites which will only be operating for a specific period of time. This plant is moved together with the mobile roadworks from one works section to the next. At the assembly site, the road-mobile asphalt mixing plant only needs a space that can be accessed by a truck for its foundation. Road mobile asphalt mixing plants
