The asphalt plant mixer unit is a crucial unit in an asphalt plant. The mixer consists of high-quality cast parts, synchronized gears, and heavy-duty, high-quality reducers. The mixer is used to mix filler, aggregate, and bitumen in the asphalt plant. The asphalt plant mixer unit ensures the homogeneous mixing of the materials required for asphalt production.
An asphalt plant generally consists of the following main parts:
- Cold Aggregate Feeding Unit
- Conveyor Belts
- Dryer
- Filter
- Aggregate Elevator
- Filler Elevator
In batch asphalt plants, the mixer is a twin-shaft (pugmill) mixer: each batch of weighed aggregate, filler and bitumen is mixed by paddles on two counter-rotating synchronized shafts and then discharged, ensuring high homogeneity and long wear life. Alfamix Asfalt plants are built for capacities between 30 and 400 tons per hour.
