In infrastructure and road projects, asphalt plants forms the backbone of large-scale projects. Whether highways, bridges or new cities, asphalt plant selection is a strategic decision for the success of the project. Rapid development in construction technologies and increasing sustainability-oriented approaches further increase the importance of the right choice. At this point, Power Asphalt comes […]
It is a type of deformation-resistant asphalt suitable for roads with heavy traffic. It has been used in airport projects in recent years. Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) are hot asphalt mixtures containing 70-80% coarse aggregate, 20-30% fine aggregate and a high percentage of bitumen around 6-7%. It was developed in Germany in the 1960s and […]
Even a very well-built road begins to deteriorate over a period of time due to environmental conditions. Transverse cracks, longitudinal cracks, edge cracks and block cracks form in asphalt over time. The reasons for their formation are; In environmental and climatic conditions, there are situations such as freezing effect, humidity changes, fatigue of the pavement […]
Asphalt is a high-quality road construction material, a type of petroleum by-product, that can be used in almost every area where vehicles pass on highways and asphalt plantof is asphalted as a result of its correct operation. This by-product can have many different hardnesses, from a non-flowing, durable form to a solid form. Today, it […]
Stationary Batch Asphalt Plant; In asphalt production, aggregate stored in the plant area in different fractions is taken from stocks and fed into separate cold feeding silos. The opening of the covers under each silo and the speed of the conveyor belt are adjusted from the control cabinet. It is transported to the dryer with […]
Aggregate; It is the name given to inorganic materials with different granular mineral structures such as sand, gravel and crushed stone, which are used with cement and water in the production of concrete mortar and similar. Used in Asphalt Production It is the most important component of Asphalt Mixing Plants. Aggregates: Maximum grain size […]
Bitumen , comes from Sanskrit. While some claim that its Latin equivalent is gwitu-men (related to pitch), others claim that it originates from the term pixtu-men (bubbling pitch) and that this term was later shortened to bitumen and passed into English from French. Bitumen is a hydrocarbon compound obtained by natural precipitation of crude […]
It is believed that the word asphalt is derived from the prehistoric Akkadian term “asphaltic”. This term was adopted by the Homeric Greeks to mean to tighten or stabilize. Asphalt is a construction material that has been known and proven for more than 5000 years. The first asphalt applications in Turkey started in the Ottoman […]
Asphalt Plant? Asphalt plant, is the facility where hot bitumen and aggregates and fillers grouped in different sizes are mixed in the mixer and made ready for laying. In the asphalt plant, the aggregate, which is heated to an average of 160 degrees Celsius and dehumidified, is sieved and separated into fractions. After this stage, it […]
