Asphalt Mixer Machine
Homogenous and stable mixing, powerful mixing capacity and low consumption, LUTON asphalt mixer machine is a great buy for contractors who take part in asphalt manufacturing.
LUTON asphalt drum mixer is categorized as 2 types, drum mixer and twin shaft pugmill. Both mixer machines are excel at producing good quality hot asphalt mixture in an effective way.
Reach out to us for tailor-made solutions.
Different Types of Asphalt Mixer Machine
In the batching asphalt mixing plant, the twin shaft pugmill is used while the drum mixer is used in the continuous asphalt plant or drum hot mix plant.
Twin Shaft Asphalt Mixer
Twin shaft asphalt mixer is designed with double helix, a long axis with short arm. Reasonable structure contriutes to the high efficacy and high stability of aggregate mixing.
| Models | Output | Mixer Capacity | Mixing Cycle |
| LB500 | 40 t/h | 500 kg | 45 seconds |
| LB800 | 60 t/h | 800 kg | 45 seconds |
| LB1000 | 80 t/h | 1000 kg | 45 seconds |
| LB1200 | 100 t/h | 1200 kg | 45 seconds |
| LB1500 | 120 t/h | 1500 kg | 45 seconds |
| LB2000 | 160 t/h | 2000 kg | 45 seconds |
| LB2500 | 200 t/h | 2500 kg | 45 seconds |
| LB3000 | 240 t/h | 3000 kg | 45 seconds |
| LB4000 | 320 t/h | 4000 kg | 45 seconds |
Drying and Mixing Drum
Drum mixer in the drum type hot mix plant is a multifunctional machine. It is the rotary drum that heats and mixes aggregates at the same time. Thus, the fuel consumption is much lower, compared with batching type.
| Models | LTD20 | LTD40 | LTD60 | LTD80 |
| Output | 20 t/h | 40 t/h | 60 t/h | 80 t/h |
| Fuel Oil Power | 34 kW | 65 kW | 105 kW | 135 kW |
| Burning Coal Power | 40 kW | 75 kW | 120 kW | 165 kW |
| Asphalt Tank | 10 t | 20 t | 30 t | 30 t |
| Asphalt Temperature | 120-180 ℃ | 120-180 ℃ | 120-180 ℃ | 120-180 ℃ |
What Does Asphalt Mixer Machine Work?
Below is the specific working principle of each type of the mixer machine in asphalt mixing plant.
1. Twin Shaft Pugmill
Twin shaft pugmill has a powerful and stronger mixing capacity and is the most widespread mixer type for batching type bituminous plant.
It works in a compulsory and mandatory way. After the aggregates, fine particles and bitumen are weighed through the weigh hopper, they flow to the pugmill.
The materials are fully blended through the force of rotary shafts with double helix.
Once the materials are stirred evenly and homogeneously, the finished products are discharged through the slanted discharging gate.
2. Drum Dryer and Mixer
To make the drying and mixing process efficient, LUTON rotary drum dryer and mixer is fitted with geometrically shaped blades.
The integrated burner which is able to be powered by diesel, heavy oil, natural gas or coal helps drive the rotary drum.
The aggregates are mixed through the inner blades, chain, and continuous motion.
For stability and smooth work, the drum is equipped with 4 wheels.
In addition, the drum rotates clockwise to dry aggregates and anti-clockwise for material discharging.
Regular Checklist
1. Check all the joints before operation, and lubricate if there is tigh friction.
2. Check if the drum mixer is flat-mounted.
3. Check the quality of the finished products during the production, in order to adjust parameters for exceptional hot asphalt mixture.
4. Check if there is jam before each use.
5. Check if there is residue after operation.
