As the name suggests, Asphalt batch mix plants are known for their ability to create hot mix asphalt in consequent batches. The asphalt batching plant comes in various shapes and sizes, and the size of each plant depends on its capacity to produce the mix. Asphalt batching plants are currently in high demand because they switch between different mixtures.

For customers who need proper equipment (which can function endlessly and swap between different recipes), asphalt batch mix plants are a perfect choice for them. The option of switching between mixtures enhances the function of the asphalt batching plant, setting it apart from regular drum mixers that are available for sale in the market.

Let us learn about the various parts and functions of asphalt batch mix plants in the industry.
The various components of a regular asphalt batch mix plant are:

Cold feeder bins are attached to the plant to measure and transfer the aggregate to the dryer drum of the plant
A conveyor is responsible for taking the cold aggregates from the plant feeder and supplying the aggregates to the dryer drum.
A drying drum is responsible for heating the aggregates with a strong burner.
An elevator is available for feeding the hot mix aggregates on the vibrating screen after the drying process is complete.
Vibrating screens are designed to separate the hot mix into various compartments as per the capacity
After the segregation of aggregates is complete, the hot bins hold the hot aggregates before they are ready to weigh
There are three types of storage and weighing systems: Filler storage and weighing system, Aggregate storage and weighing system and Bitumen storage and weighing system
A pugmill mixing unit further mixes the asphalt ingredients
A dry dust collector is responsible for picking leftover dust from the mix
A high-functioning control system is available for manual control over the various parts of the machine
