Portable Asphalt Plants For Sale

About Portable 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 liquid to be laid down as blacktop pavement.

Astec Voyager 120 Portable Asphalt Plant

A portable asphalt plant operates under the same general principles as a stationary one, but consists of one or more trailer-mounted components that can be towed to the production site. The trailers use retractable stabilizer feet to keep themselves level after drop-off. Portable components may include cold feed bins, screens, conveyors, dryer and/or mixer drums, towers, burners, hot oil heaters, elevators, primary dust collectors, baghouses, shears, meters, silos, tanks, feeders, control systems, power systems, and more. A portable mixing tower may be designed to allow haul trucks to drive under it via ramps of packed earth or rock on either side of its trailer.

Relocatable Asphalt Plants

A relocatable plant is similar to a portable one, but its modular components are mounted on skids or built-in foundations. In other words, they’re transportable by trailer rather than trailer-mounted pieces. Lowboy trailers are often used to relocate components when conditions warrant. Relocatable plants may be able to produce more asphalt than a typical portable plant, but less than a large stationary plant.
