Choose Prime Components for Business Boom
Confused about how to choose main components of asphalt plant? Here are some basic information to help you make better choices.
1. Cold Aggregate Hopper
What needs to be noticed here is mainly about the size and the number of cold feeder bin.
Usually, the size is from 6m3 to 13m3 while the number is usually 4-6.
2. Drum Dryer
Drum dryers adopt direct heat in parallel flow or counter flow type.
Usually, the way of counter-flow performs better in terms of the efficiency of heat exchange.
The position of the oil burner of LUTON asphalt plant is on the opposite direction of the flow of the cold aggregates, that is, counter flow heating of aggregates.
3. Vibrating Screen
There are two main factors affected the choice of vibrating screen.
One is the material. Our stationary bitumen plant uses steel alloy which is solid and durable. The other is the mesh size. The mesh size can change in light of your needs. For example, if you need 5 kinds of aggregates, the number of mesh size should be 6.
4. Bitumen Tanks
You should take your eyes on factors such as the insulation or the sealing device.
5. Dust Collector
Gravity dust collector uses advantage of different flow rates to remove dust preliminarily.
Bag house collector is the secondary dust collector which plays a decisive role in environmental protection.
6. Mixing Pot
You should notice the capacity and material. Its capacity can directly affects the output while its material relates to the service life.

How Does an Asphalt Plant Work?
Batching and Conveying
The cold aggregates (gravel, sand, crushed rock) are fed into aggregate bins. Passed through a rough weighing, the aggregates drop down to the feeder belt as a specified ratio, and then to the collector belt.
The tilted conveyor belt helps these calculated aggregates into the drum.
Drying
The oil burner is on the opposite position of the flow of cold aggregates, which ensures the maximum heating and minimum dust production.
Screening and Weighing
After the fully drying in the rotary drum, aggregates become hot and are conveyed to the vibrating screen with the assistance of bucket elevator.
The vibrating screen filters different aggregates into the separate bins. By way of accurate weighing, the various aggregates enter into the hot bins, waiting for mixing.
Mixing
Double shaft and double helix ensures the hot screened aggregates, filler material, asphalt are completely mixed in mixing pot.
(For drum asphalt plant, the mixing takes place in the rotary drum, which means asphalt drum mixing plant doesn’t have the function of screening and weighing.)
Storing
Stirred aggregates are poured down to the storage silo, ready to transport to offsite.
LUTON Asphalt Hot Mix Plant Equipment Types
Classification Standard
Types of Asphalt Hot Mix Plant (what is, features, production capacity, components, application)
Working Process
On the basis of the different working process, LUTON asphalt plant is composed of batch mix plant and continuous asphalt plant.
Batch Mix Plant

Outstanding Features:
1. High flexibility for production of the asphalt concrete.
2. Production is stable and smooth.
3. Less waste during the operation.
4. Weighing in batch helps a strict control of the proportion of the different aggregates.
5. Even mixing ensures high quality finished products.
6. Dual dust removal procedures are benefit to the environmental protection.
7. Able to adjust the ratio of the aggregates flexibly during the working.
8. The temperature of the aggregates in the drum dryer is easy to control.
Production Capacity:
LUTON has asphalt batching plant with an output of 40 t/h to 320 t/h.

LUTON asphalt batch hot mix plant includes cold aggregate supply system, drum dryer, coal burner and coal feeder or oil burner, cyclone dust collector, baghouse dust collector, hot aggregate elevator, vibrating screen, filler supply system, weghing and mixing system, asphalt storage bin, bitumen supply system.
Suitable for:
1. High-grade road pavement.
2. Work sites that require to be changed and need high quality finished products.
3. Producers who have several clients and need large production capacity.
Continuous Asphalt Mixing Plant
Continuous asphalt plant, also called drum asphalt plant, has a much simpler structure compared with batch type.
It works in a continuous mode, which means the finished products are produced constantly .
Outstanding Features:
1. The drying and mixing of the aggregates happens simultaneously in a rotary drum, which reduces the procedure and helps you get finished products much faster.
2. Simple structure, easy operation and low cost.
3. Occupies less area.
4. Convenient maintenance.
5. Low heat loss and fast heating.
6. High efficiency but low consumption.

The necessary parts of LUTON asphalt continuous plant covers cold aggregate feeder, drying and mixing drum, burner, water dust filter, bitumen tank, hot asphalt silo and control room.
Suitable for:
1. Small job sites and small scale projects.
2. Projects demanded for constant production.
3. Road maintenance and rehabilitation.
4. Work sites needed large quantity of asphalt concrete in a short time.
Transporation Mode
Mobile Asphalt Drum Mix Plant
Mobile asphalt drum mix plant means there are some mobile chassis mounted on each module, making it portable from sites to sites.
Outstanding Features:
1. Modular design improves the efficiency of relocation.
2. High mobility saves the cost of transportation and installation.
3. Able to be put close to the work sites, reducing the fuel consumption and saving the time and cost for finished asphalt transportation.
4. Couldn’t be affected by traffic and other external factors.
