Reliable 60TPH Asphalt Mixing Plant in Georgia Runs 8 Years, Customer Reorders OEM Parts
Cooperation under the “Belt and Road” initiative continues to deepen and bear fruit, with mutually beneficial outcomes in the infrastructure sector between China and Georgia steadily materializing. In July 2026, good news of cooperation emerged from the Georgian market in the South Caucasus: a long-established local road construction company once again purchased original, custom-made cylinders and cylinder parts for the discharge hopper of an asphalt plant from our company to ensure the continued operation and maintenance of its 60TPH asphalt batching plant, which has been in stable service for eight years.
This repeat purchase of original asphalt plant spare parts by a long-standing customer not only serves as strong evidence of the superior quality of “Made in China” products and their comprehensive full-lifecycle service capabilities but also vividly illustrates the long-term economic and trade trust between China and Georgia, as well as their deepening cooperation in infrastructure equipment.
Eight Years of Stable Operation Under Harsh Conditions: Chinese Pavement Engineering Equipment Passes the Test of Real-World Application
Located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Georgia is a key node on the ancient Silk Road and an important partner for China in the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” initiative. In recent years, Georgia has accelerated the advancement of key infrastructure projects, including the E60 Expressway, the renovation of the local road network, and the upgrading of coastal roads. However, the region’s rugged mountainous terrain, extreme diurnal temperature fluctuations (with significant seasonal variations), high levels of dust from open-air sand and gravel operations, and long, damp, cold winters present harsh environmental conditions that place extremely high demands on the durability, stability, and operational adaptability of asphalt mixing equipment.
Eight years ago, after multiple rounds of global equipment selection and comparison, this long-established Georgian infrastructure company ultimately chose our 60 TPH batch-type asphalt mixing plant for local road construction.
High Efficiency, Stable Production, and Superior Quality
Since commencing operations, this 60TPH asphalt mixing plant has been producing asphalt mixtures at full capacity year-round, playing a key role in major projects such as the renovation of the local municipal road network, the construction of new rural roads, and the maintenance of roads along the Eurasian Transport Corridor. The equipment has consistently maintained a high level of production output, with asphalt-to-aggregate mix ratios consistently meeting specifications, and the quality of the produced mixtures fully meeting local high-grade road construction standards.
Robust Durability and Low Maintenance Burden
Even after prolonged outdoor exposure and exposure to sand and dust, the plant’s aggregate screening system, energy-efficient combustion system, finished product silo, and electrical control assembly continue to operate smoothly. Over the project’s eight-year operational period, the plant has demonstrated lower failure rates than comparable mixing equipment from other brands introduced by the client during the same period, requiring only routine maintenance.
Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Combined
Equipped with an eco-friendly dust removal system and an energy-efficient combustion system, the equipment balances high-efficiency production with environmental sustainability, fully meeting local environmental regulations.
A representative from a local construction company stated: “Construction conditions in the Caucasus Mountains are complex, and many imported machines tend to develop faults or experience a decline in precision after just a few years of service. In contrast, the Chinese asphalt mixing plant has maintained stable performance throughout eight years of continuous operation. Based on this long-term, reliable experience, we are firmly committed to repurchasing genuine spare parts from the original manufacturer to ensure the asphalt equipment’s continued stable production.”
Overcoming Maintenance Challenges with Wear-Prone Parts: Original Equipment Manufacturer’s Discharge Hopper Cylinder Custom-Upgraded for Asphalt Mixing Applications
As a critical actuator in asphalt mixing plants, the finished product silo discharge cylinder controls the opening and closing of the finished asphalt silo door. Due to the need for high-frequency reciprocating operation and direct exposure to high-temperature asphalt fumes and dust, any failure would immediately shut down the entire mixing production line, delaying road construction schedules and resulting in significant downtime losses. It is therefore a key wear-prone component that determines the plant’s ability to operate continuously.
After comparing generic parts from multiple countries, the customer unanimously concluded that the original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) cylinders demonstrated outstanding overall compatibility in terms of material quality, manufacturing processes, dimensional accuracy, and high-temperature and dust resistance, and promptly placed a repeat purchase order. The OEM discharge silo cylinders delivered this time have been custom-upgraded specifically for the demanding operating conditions of asphalt mixing:
High-Temperature Resistance and Wide Temperature Range Operation
The cylinder barrel is made of high-strength precision alloy and paired with high-temperature-resistant fluororubber composite seals, enabling stable operation across a wide temperature range of -25°C to 85°C and easily withstanding Georgia’s harsh winter cold and summer heat.
Dust-Resistant and Wear-Resistant Design for Extended Service Life
The reinforced piston rod and dust-resistant, wear-resistant protective sleeve are well-suited for open-air construction sites with high levels of sand and gravel dust. Under identical test conditions, the service life is significantly longer than that of conventional cylinders.
Seamless Replacement and Rapid Maintenance
The original factory standard stroke and mounting dimensions allow for seamless replacement. Customers can complete the swap on-site through simple disassembly and reassembly, without the need to modify the hopper door structure, effectively reducing downtime for maintenance.
Integrated Overseas Service Support
We provide remote technical guidance, installation and commissioning tutorials, and maintenance plans as part of our integrated overseas service model, which combines “complete equipment exports + spare parts support + long-term technical services.”
From Single-Equipment Exports to Full Lifecycle Partnerships: Building a Solid Foundation of Trust in the South Caucasus Market
For many years, leveraging our mature asphalt mixing equipment R&D system, we have continuously optimized product solutions tailored to the mountainous infrastructure conditions of the Caucasus and Central Asia. We not only export complete sets of equipment—such as asphalt mixing plants and stabilized soil mixing equipment—but have also established local spare parts distribution centers staffed by resident technical teams, thereby addressing overseas customers’ pain points of “easy to buy, hard to maintain” and “poor compatibility of generic spare parts.”
Over the past eight years, through regular inspections, equipment maintenance, operator training, and remote technical guidance, we have achieved rapid spare parts distribution and efficient problem resolution.
This repeat order for asphalt plant parts is not a one-time transaction but a natural extension of eight years of excellent cooperation. It marks the formal upgrade of our partnership from a simple equipment sale to a deep, full-lifecycle strategic collaboration centered on “equipment operation and maintenance, long-term support, and deep integration.” The client will comprehensively upgrade equipment performance using genuine spare parts, extend the equipment’s service life, and continue to undertake local projects such as the upgrading of transportation corridors and the repair of highway service roads.
Broadening New Pathways for China-Georgia Win-Win Cooperation: Supporting Georgia’s Infrastructure Modernization with Reliable Chinese Engineering Equipment
As a key transportation hub in the South Caucasus region, Georgia, leveraging its superior geographical location, continues to see strong demand for the upgrading of its local road network and the expansion of transportation infrastructure. To date, our asphalt mixing equipment has been widely deployed in numerous key projects across Georgia, including the highway network, municipal renovations, and port access roads, establishing a well-integrated model that combines “equipment supply, engineering support, and operation and maintenance services.”
Building bridges through quality and fostering cooperation through service. Moving forward, we will seize the opportunities presented by infrastructure upgrades in Georgia and the South Caucasus, continue to develop and adapt asphalt mixing equipment suited to the region’s complex operating conditions, introduce new eco-friendly dust-control asphalt plants, and enhance our localized spare parts inventory and on-site technical support system.
Against the backdrop of deepening cooperation under the China-Georgia Free Trade Agreement, we will continue to expand opportunities for collaboration in road construction equipment and green building materials equipment. By providing reliable Chinese engineering equipment to support the modernization of Georgia’s transportation infrastructure, we will continue to enhance the reputation of “Made in China” and write a new chapter in the mutually beneficial, long-term partnership between China and Georgia.
