An asphalt plant accurately doses the aggregates and asphalt cement to ensure the proportion established in the design and completely dry and heat the aggregates to obtain prefect adhesiveness with the asphalt binder. The plant also filters the gases from the combustion of the drying system and returns the fine aggregates to the mixer. It mixes the aggregates from the dryer and the fine aggregates from the bag filter with heated asphalt in the tank according to its viscosity and occasionally add additives to the mix while transporting it to a storage silo for subsequent unloading into the truck and transport to the road paver finisher.
One of the goals of asphalt concrete producers is to fabricate the asphalt mix with the same quality as the mix produced in laboratories, where the conditions are controlled and the production rate is much lower.
