Working Flow Chart of Batch Type Hot Mix Plant

Through the flow chart below, we can clearly understand the entire workflow of the hot mixing plant.

working process of asphalt batching plant

Step1. All sorts of cold aggregates are fed and firstly measured by batching machine, then conveyed to the drying and heating system.

Step2. In the drying and heating system, cold aggregates turns dry and hot. At the same time, dust collection is also carried out to absorb the dust in the air generated during this production process. This is the first dust removal in the whole hot mixing asphalt plant system.

Step3. Hot aggregates are sent to the vibrating screen system on the top of the hot mixing building by the bucket elevator.

Step4. In the vibrating screen system, hot aggregates are filtered, classified and stored in the corresponding storage hoppers.
Since this process will also generate a large amount of dust, the second dust collection system is installed here and operates together with vibratory screening.

Step5. After a series of processing procedures, the classified hot aggregates need to be weighed again to ensure the accurate ratio of raw materials before entering the mixing host.
Meanwhile, mineral powder is delivered into its measuring system by screw conveyor. Another raw material, asphalt, is also dehydrated and heated at this time, is pumped to its weighing unit.
All sorts of raw materials in this section are all in the final metering process preparing for the last job mixing all together.

Step6. Hot aggregates and mineral powder are fed into the mixing host. These raw materials are turned over and stirred by the mixing blades driven by the mixing shaft, and at the same time are sprayed and wrapped by the hot asphalt liquid material sprayed from the top of the mixing cylinder, and finally form a uniform asphalt mixture. To this point you will definitely find out that the real origin of the name “hot mix plant”- hot aggregate, mineral powder mixing together with hot asphalt.

The working process of the asphalt hot mixing plant mentioned here is just a brief introduction to the main steps. More specific work details are not described here.

It is believed that this heavy industry manufacturer with nearly 30-year producing and export experience of asphalt machinery will give what you indefinitely want.

Batch Type Hot Mix Plant V.S. Drum Type Hot Mix Plant

Batch type hot mix plant and drum type hot mix plant are different in several aspects: configurations, working process and applications.
In short, the biggest difference between batch-type asphalt plant and drum-type asphalt plant is the working method.

Batch mixing asphalt plant yield high-quality asphalt product batch by batch after a series of procession including cold material weighing, aggregate heating and drying, particle size screening, and accurate hot material weighing and final mixing.

In batch type mixing process, aggregates are measured twice for accurate ingredient ratio and high product quality. Of course, it will take more time and need more equipment.

bitumen mixing plant cost

In batch mixing asphalt plant system, batch size and production capacity can be changed based on the designs. What’s more, plant operation can be controlled flexibly.

On the other hand, the working method of drum-type mixing plant is continuous.

In drum-type mixing plant, aggregate, mineral powder and asphalt are heated and dried in the drum, while continuously mixed and conveyed to the outlet without any interruption.

The process creates a homogeneous mixture that can be manufactured at a high rate (sometimes up to 600-800 tons per hour).
