Continuous and Bech asphalt plantare facilities that produce hot asphalt by mixing aggregate, bitumen and fillers in certain proportions. Continuous asphalt plant, as the name suggests, are asphalt plants with a continuous flow of aggregate without a certain period of time. Beef asphalt plant produces asphalt by completing the process of hot asphalt mixture in a certain period. They have similar plant equipment and similar processes in terms of working principle, but there are some differences between the equipment.
When the investor decides to purchase an asphalt plant, the investor should be informed about the selection of the asphalt plant type and the selection should be made accordingly.
So, what are the differences between continuous and batch type asphalt plants?
Beef asphalt plant:
- Vibrating machine that separates the hot aggregate coming out of the dryer into its fractions. sieve has.
- It has a hot aggregate bunker that stores the fractionated aggregate under the sieve and feeds the aggregate bunker in accordance with the mix design.
- It has bitumen, fillers and aggregate scale. Mass weighing is done.
- Mixermixes in a certain period, that is, it has a barrel type mixer.
- Maintenance and operating costs are higher than continuous asphalt plant.
- requires more expertise than a continuous asphalt plant.
- Generally, batch asphalt plants are used in countries such as Europe, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Egypt, Iraq, Turkmenistan and Israel.
- More expensive than continuous asphalt plant.
- Installation takes longer than a continuous asphalt plant.
- Logistics costs are more expensive than a continuous asphalt plant.
Continuous asphalt plant:
- Does not have a vibrating screen.
- It does not have a hot aggregate bunker under the sieve.
- does not have an aggregate scale. Aggregate is fed volumetrically in accordance with the mix design by dosing conveyors located in the feeding bunkers.
- There is no filler scale. The filters are dosed volumetrically with the spirals located under the filter.
- There is no bitumen scale. Bitumen is dosed volumetrically via pump in accordance with the mix design.
- Mixer prepares hot asphalt mixture by continuously mixing the mixture and discharging it directly.
- It is much easier to use than the barrel type asphalt plant.
- Maintenance and operating costs are cheaper than batch type asphalt plants.
- Generally, continuous asphalt plants are used in countries such as Senegal, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Congo, Ivory Coast and Mauritania.
- It is more affordable than the Bech asphalt plant.
- Installation takes less time than the batch type asphalt plant.
- Logistics costs are cheaper than the batch type asphalt plant.
Batch Type Asphalt Plant; mix design flexibility, when working with different customers and the use of special formulas are required,
Continuous Asphalt Plant; should be preferred when low operating costs and continuous production are desired.
