Ammann America has announced its latest counterflow drum mix plant, which is specifically designed for high production and high-capacity recycling technology.
Available in stationary, relocatable and portable configurations ranging from 300 tons per hour to 600 tons per hour, the Ammann ACC Alpine Drum Mix Plant covers all possible plant needs.
The Alpine series enables producers to maximize high total production as well as the amount of recycled asphalt (RAP) content without sacrificing mix quality by utilizing Ammann’s industry-leading controls and technologies. The plant is capable of creating a mix that includes up to 60 per cent RAP.
The counterflow drum mix plant’s control system is intuitive and allows tracking and analyzing plant operating data in real time to provide opportunities to gain further efficiencies over competitive equipment.
One of the benefits of the new plant is a single drum, multi-zone drying and mixing system with VFD, which increases performance and flexibility.
Other benefits of the counterflow drum mix plant include:
- Modular and scalable designed components
- Warm asphalt capability with the proven Amman Foam system
- Easy customization of plant arrangements
- Easy retrofit to existing facilities
- Extreme wear packages for extended operating life
Ammann’s HMA storage silos have capacities ranging up to 300 tons with extended mix storage options available. As well, silos are engineered with expansion in mind. The modular silo batcher arrangement is expandable and optimal for retrofitting and matching silo deck heights.
Ammann’s aggregate feed systems include troughing feed belts to eliminate spills and large bin openings allow for greater capacity. Steep, sloped bin walls optimize material flow, while variable frequency drives promote simple, accurate calibration and production changes on the fly.
The reverse-air baghouse system is the newest version of a broad range of existing Ammann dust control products. The reduced length and increased width of the Alpine series baghouse allows for greater flexibility in accommodating all job sites and portable requirements.
