Things To Keep In Mind When Shopping For An Asphalt Mixing Plant

In this read, we are going to look at some of the things you should keep in mind when purchasing an asphalt mixing plant.
More Expensive Does Not Mean Better
Every asphalt mixing plant manufacturer claims to have the best plant for various reasons, but it is important to do your research. You’ll find that reputable manufacturers utilize similar materials, design principles and thickness. Perhaps a plant is more expensive because it has large capacities, more indicators or any other reason. However, being more expensive does not necessarily mean better.

The Control Systems aren’t Always Automatic
Every asphalt plant for sale has to be controlled and not many use scale dials and manual levers. Today, typical plants utilize a manual control system with indicator displays and push buttons. As expected, an automatic control system, on the other hand, is simpler. All you have to do is push a button once, and the entire batch of asphalt is weighed out and dispensed in an efficient manner.

High Storage Capacity Doesn’t Equate to High Hourly Production
Storage is simply storage and production is how fast the hot mix asphalt plant can make usable asphalt mixture. The production is often based on the batch sizes, size of the transfer conveyors and perhaps the mixer size if applicable. The storage, however, is based on how much can be fit in the bins. Some mixing plants have a small storage capacity buy very high production rates while larger plants have lots of materials but do the job slowly. So, when purchasing a portable asphalt mixing plant, you need to consider what’s important in your business model.

Accumulative Weighing Differs From Decumulative Weighing
Accumulative weighing refers to when the substance is dropped into a scale from a hopper. Once the scale has all the needed content, the material is then loaded into the mixer or truck. Decumulative weighting, also known as reverse weighing, on the other hand, uses the hopper as the scale. It drops the needed amount of substance from the hopper or scale onto a conveyor system until the hopper has the ideal weight. Everyone has different opinions, so you need to know what will work best for your project. Learn more: https://aimixmachineryaaa.quora.com/How-You-Can-Access-A-Mini-Asphalt-Mixing-Plant-Sale.
Portable Does Not Mean Easy To Move
Some might laugh at this statement, but if you have been around mixing plants or have moved one before, then you know what I am talking about. Portable in this context could mean that the mixing plant is so massive it’s impossible to fit on a trailer and instead comes with specially designed axles mounted to the frame. This makes it portable, but it still needs two cranes to set up.


Do Not Forget About The Shipping
Shipping an drum asphalt mix plant  can be expensive. Heavy loads, escort cars and permit fees are common with some asphalt plants. Also, keep in mind that shipping costs are rarely included in the price of the plant. As such, you should be prepared to incur these costs if the asphalt plant manufacturer doesn’t cover them.
