About Stationary Asphalt Plants

Asphalt plants manufacture the material from which roads, runways, and parking lots are made. They mix asphalt—a thick, sticky form of petroleum sometimes called bitumen—with aggregate, filler (binding material), additives, and other materials to make a heated fluid to be laid down as blacktop pavement.

Ammann ACP ContiHRT Stationary Asphalt Plant

A stationary asphalt plant is a relatively permanent facility, typically located near a good source of aggregate material for long-term production. It’s the most expensive type of plant, but also the most productive. A stationary plant can benefit from structures such as paved and possibly covered aggregate storage areas, which can give the aggregate some protection from moisture and reduce drying time, and thus fuel costs. Infrastructure such as a robust power grid and heavy-duty roads are also more cost-effective to build for a stationary plant as opposed to a more temporary one.

Components of an asphalt plant may include cold feed bins, a screen, conveyors, a dryer and/or mixer drum, a tower, a burner, a hot oil heater, elevators, a primary dust collector, a baghouse, a shear, meters, silos/tanks, feeders, a control system, a power system, and more.

Continuous Drum vs. Batch Mix

In a continuous drum mix plant—designed for ongoing operation—liquid AC from heated storage tanks mixes with the dried aggregate in the drum. Its finished product is then elevated into truck beds or storage silos. Plants with silos or tanks may keep them heated so they can store the fluid asphalt mix for several days before use.

A batch mix plant differs not only in the finite amounts of product it’s designed to produce, but also in the fact that it elevates the dried aggregate into a tower to mix it with the liquid AC. Trucks drive under the tower to receive their loads of molten asphalt mix.
