Why choose a mobile asphalt mixing plant?

In engineering fields such as highway construction, municipal renovation, airport runway paving, and emergency repairs, the flexibility and efficiency of asphalt mixing plants directly affect project progress and cost control. Traditional stationary asphalt mixing plants are limited by fixed sites, complex foundation construction, and difficulties in relocation, making them unsuitable for the core needs of modern engineering projects, which require “multi-project linkage, rapid deployment, and flexible adjustment.”

Mobile asphalt mixing plants, with their core advantages of “immediate production upon installation, flexible relocation, and strong spatial adaptability,” have become the preferred solution for construction companies. Whether it’s rural road reconstruction with frequent site changes, urban road construction with limited space, or emergency maintenance projects with tight deadlines, they can complete asphalt mixture production in a low-cost and high-efficiency manner, helping companies shorten preparation cycles, reduce operating costs, and enhance project competitiveness. Choosing a mobile asphalt mixing plant means choosing an intelligent solution that fits the pace of modern engineering projects.

Advantages of Mobile Asphalt Mixing Plants

High mobility and rapid relocation

Featuring a modular design and trailer-mounted structure, it can be transported as a whole or in modules without complex disassembly, making it suitable for cross-regional and multi-site collaborative construction projects. No additional disassembly of core components is required during relocation, significantly reducing equipment downtime, making it particularly suitable for projects involving simultaneous construction of multiple lines or emergency repairs.

No basic installation required, saving time and costs.

No large concrete foundations are required; simply leveling the site is sufficient for operation, saving manpower, materials, and time costs associated with foundation construction. Small equipment can be installed and commissioned within 7-10 days of arrival, while medium and large equipment require only about 15 days, achieving “production upon arrival.”

Small footprint, suitable for various construction scenarios

Its compact design allows it to occupy only 1/3 to 1/2 the space of traditional fixed equipment, enabling flexible deployment in complex environments such as city centers, mountain roads, and narrow spaces. It can be efficiently adapted to various scenarios, including urban branch road renovation, mountain highway construction, and space-constrained environments such as ports and airports.

Modular design facilitates transportation and assembly.

The core components are all manufactured using modular technology, resulting in lightweight and compact designs that require fewer vehicles for transportation, thus reducing logistics costs. Assembly does not require specialized large equipment; it can be completed manually with simple tools, further enhancing construction convenience.

Comparison between mobile asphalt mixing plants and stationary asphalt mixing plants

Mobility comparison: Mobile units do not require a fixed foundation

• Mobile: Adopting a trailer or modular design, it has no fixed foundation requirements. When moving to a new site, it only requires simple disassembly of connecting parts and can be quickly transferred to a new construction site.
• Fixed type: Requires a permanent concrete foundation, cannot be moved, and is only suitable for single long-term projects.

Installation time comparison: Mobile units can be put into production in just a few days.

• Mobile: Installation and commissioning cycle for small equipment is 7-10 days, and for medium and large equipment it is 15-20 days, with no need to wait for basic maintenance.
• Fixed type: The foundation construction and equipment installation cycle takes 30-45 days, and the foundation maintenance requires additional time, resulting in a long preparation period.

Comparison of applicable scenarios: Mobile devices are more suitable for projects with frequent location changes.

• Mobile: Suitable for scenarios that require frequent relocation, such as rural road reconstruction, cross-regional maintenance, emergency repairs, and small-scale municipal engineering projects.
• Fixed type: Suitable for large-scale production in single fixed sites such as large highways and long-term building material production bases.

Investment cost comparison: Mobile initial investment is more flexible

• Mobile: No infrastructure investment is required, equipment models can be flexibly selected according to the scale of the project, the initial capital pressure is small, and the investment return cycle is short.
• Fixed type: High infrastructure costs, fixed equipment models, large initial investment, suitable for long-term large-scale production scenarios.

Comparison of production efficiency and quality: Both can produce high-quality asphalt mixtures.

• Mobile type: Utilizing precise metering and forced mixing technology, combined with international brand sensors and control systems, the quality of the mixture meets the high standards of highway construction.
• Fixed type: has a larger production capacity, but mobile type can also achieve a high production capacity of 320t/h through modular upgrades to meet the needs of medium and large projects.

• Burner: Optional Italian brand high-efficiency burner, supporting multiple fuels such as diesel, heavy oil, natural gas, and coal.
• Temperature control: The Honeywell intelligent temperature control system is used to precisely control the aggregate heating temperature to 160℃.
• Insulation design: The drum uses composite insulation materials to reduce heat loss and lower fuel consumption.

Elevator and Screening System

• Elevator: Efficiently transports heated aggregates, operates stably, and has a low failure rate.
• Vibrating screen: 4-5 layer design, optimized vibration frequency and amplitude, high screening efficiency, suitable for aggregates of different particle sizes.
• Screen material: wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, long service life, and easy to replace.
• Hot aggregate bins: These bins store aggregates of different sizes to prepare for accurate metering.

Production Process of Mobile Asphalt Mixing Plant

Cold aggregate feeding and conveying

• Cold aggregate is fed into each bin by a loader, and the feed rate is precisely controlled by a frequency converter belt feeder according to the formula requirements.
• The aggregate is conveyed to the drying drum by a conveyor belt, and large-diameter impurities are filtered out by a screen during the conveying process.

Aggregate drying and heating

• After the aggregate enters the drying drum, it comes into full contact with the high-temperature airflow generated by the burner, and the moisture evaporates quickly.
• The temperature control system monitors the temperature inside the drum in real time to ensure that the aggregate is heated to the ideal temperature of about 160°C.

Sieving, Metering and Forced Mixing

• The heated aggregate is fed into a vibrating screen via an elevator, and after being screened into different particle sizes, it is stored in a hot aggregate bin.
• According to the preset formula, the weighing system measures the aggregate, asphalt, and filler separately and feeds them into the mixer in sequence.
• The mixer uses bidirectional blades to force mixing, and the asphalt is sprayed at multiple points to evenly cover the aggregate, forming a high-quality mixture.

Finished asphalt mixture unloading and storage

• The mixed material is sent to the finished product silo for temporary storage through the unloading device, and the silo’s insulation layer maintains the temperature.
• According to construction needs, materials are unloaded from the silo into transport vehicles in an orderly manner and sent to the construction site.

Dust removal and environmental protection process

• Dust generated during the drying and mixing process is first collected by a gravity dust collector, and large particles of dust are recycled.
• Fine dust enters the bag filter and is filtered through the filter bags, with an emission concentration of <20mg/Nm³, which meets environmental protection requirements.
• The filtered dust can be recycled or discharged via a screw conveyor, achieving a win-win situation for environmental protection and resource utilization.
