Asphalt Plant

The full name of the facility commonly referred to as an asphalt plant is an asphalt production plant. As the name suggests, asphalt production plants are facilities that prepare asphalt, used today for road and ground surfacing. Asphalt plants produce the essential paving material called asphalt by mixing crushed stone, stone dust (filler), and bitumen (tar, asphalt) in specific proportions.

Asphalt is one of the most crucial materials used in road construction. To achieve the desired properties, asphalt must be produced in specialized machines called asphalt plants. An asphalt plant is a system that mixes bitumen, aggregates, and additives to create the asphalt mixture.

Asphalt plants are divided into two main groups based on production methods: batch-type and continuous-type. In batch-type asphalt plants, all raw materials are pre-weighed and then transferred to the mixer, where they are blended. In continuous-type asphalt plants, raw materials are fed into the mixer continuously for a non-stop mixing process.

Asphalt plants also vary in terms of production capacity. Small-capacity asphalt plants can produce 30-120 tons of asphalt per hour. Medium-capacity asphalt plants have a production capacity of 120-200 tons per hour. Large-capacity asphalt plants can produce 200 tons or more per hour.

An asphalt plant is an essential facility for road construction and maintenance. These plants are used for producing hot-mix asphalt, bringing together various components to ensure high-quality asphalt production. Asphalt plant units generally heat aggregates and mix them with bitumen and other filler materials to produce hot-mix asphalt. These units are available in different capacities and configurations. Stationary or mobile asphalt plant units can be produced to meet the needs of various road construction projects.

Alfamix Asphalt is a leading asphalt plant manufacturer. Known for producing high-quality and efficient asphalt plant units, Alfamix has established a reputation as a trusted name in the road construction industry. The company’s products are designed with modern technology and engineering to meet the sector’s requirements.

Alfamix’s focus on continuous innovation and quality has solidified its position as a market leader. As one of Turkey’s top asphalt plant manufacturers, Alfamix asphalt plants are known for their high quality and performance. Alfamix produces asphalt plants in two main categories: batch-type stationary asphalt plants and continuous asphalt plants.

An asphalt plant consists of more than just a single unit. It requires various equipment to function correctly, including conveyor systems for transporting aggregates, storage tanks, mixing units, drying and heating systems, and more. All these components work together to ensure the efficient and smooth operation of the asphalt plant. This equipment is critical for enhancing the performance of the plant and ensuring high-quality production.

Batch-Type Stationary Asphalt Plant is designed to produce asphalt in specific amounts. It mixes pre-measured materials to produce asphalt in batches, ideal for meeting the precise needs of specific projects. These plants provide flexibility and can be scaled to match project requirements.

Batch-type asphalt production plants are the most commonly used and reliable in asphalt production. Since each batch is weighed and mixed, these facilities ensure consistent quality. Batch-type plants are preferred for their dependability and precision.

Continuous asphalt plants, as the name suggests, operate on a continuous mixing system. Unlike batch-type plants, where the mixer is emptied and refilled after each cycle, the continuous mixer never stops. Materials are constantly fed into the mixer, and the mixture is discharged without interruption. To achieve this, continuous asphalt plants use a dosing system instead of pre-weighing raw materials. Conveyor belts operate at set speeds, and bitumen and other components are added continuously, ensuring a seamless process. These plants may also use a dryer for mixing if needed, but the principle remains the same.

In addition to standard models, we design custom asphalt plants to meet specific client needs. We offer various designs, such as mobile asphalt plants, modular asphalt plants, container-type asphalt plants, semi-batch asphalt plants, and drum mix asphalt plants.

Furthermore, Alfamix produces equipment related to asphalt production, including polymer-modified plants, bitumen emulsion plants, bitumen emulsion mills, modified bitumen mills, bitumen pumps, three-way bitumen valves, and elevator chains. All essential components for asphalt plants and related by-products are produced in-house to ensure quality and reliability.
