In the road infrastructure projects in Ethiopia and the whole East Africa region, a large number of construction projects are characterized by scattered points and frequent cross-regional operations, which also makes local engineering contractors face a series of equipment construction pain points for a long time, which seriously restricts the project promotion efficiency and construction benefits. The structure of traditional stationary asphalt mixing plant is solidified, and it is difficult to disassemble and transport, which cannot adapt to scattered and multi-point road repair and new construction projects; at the same time, the installation and commissioning procedures of traditional asphalt mixing plant equipment are complicated, and the preliminary preparation cycle is long, which is easy to delay the overall construction progress. In addition, most common manufacturers in the market have uneven equipment quality control, poor equipment operation stability, frequent downtime failure will not only produce unqualified asphalt materials, but also greatly increase construction cost and construction period loss, becoming the core obstacle to improving quality and efficiency of local road infrastructure.
In order to completely solve the common problems in the above industry, Ethiopian local road engineering contractors have selected equipment solutions from various sources and are committed to finding a asphalt plant with high flexibility, stable performance and efficient deployment. After multi-dimensional comparison and research, the customer finally selected ZAP-M160 mobile asphalt plant, a mature equipment independently developed by our company. The project officially landed in October 2023. Our company dispatched a team of senior engineers to the site to complete the professional installation and commissioning of the complete set of equipment, and finally realized the smooth commissioning of 100% of the equipment, stable trial operation status, and successful delivery of this overseas infrastructure project.
Combined with the local road construction scenario in Ethiopia, the construction pain points faced by the customers of this cooperation are highly representative of the region, which is also a common problem in the current small and medium-sized road infrastructure projects in East Africa. Meanwhile, the customers also put forward clear and strict equipment use expectations.
Short board of equipment mobility: the customer has undertaken various scattered road renovation, rural road upgrading and Urban area road network reconstruction projects for a long time. The construction points are scattered and frequently moved across regions. The disassembly and assembly of traditional stationary and semi-mobile asphalt plants are complicated and the transfer cost is high, which completely fails to meet the construction requirements of rapid transfer and repeated deployment.
Bottleneck of construction efficiency: traditional bitumen mixing plant parts are scattered, on-site assembly process is complex, the preparation period for early commissioning is extremely long, which cannot match the tight project delivery period of customers, and the lag problem of “site ready, equipment not put into production” often occurs, which seriously slows down the overall project progress.
Quality risk hidden danger: Most similar asphalt batching plants in the market have imperfect quality control systems, unstable equipment operating conditions, and easy to produce asphalt products with unqualified ratio and substandard uniformity, which directly leads to delay in project acceptance and brings additional economic losses and reputation risks to customers.
Overseas service gap: Ethiopia lacks professional asphalt mix plant operation and maintenance, commissioning technical team, equipment installation, commissioning and later troubleshooting are difficult to solve quickly, once the equipment is stuck, it will directly lead to project shutdown, seriously restricting the pace of project production.
In view of the above pain points, the customer put forward four core requirements for the asphalt batch plant purchased this time:
The equipment has high mobility and can adapt to multi-point and high-frequency transition construction scenarios;
It has a stable continuous production capacity of 160 tons per hour to meet the needs of large-scale road construction materials;
Ex-factory quality is strictly guaranteed, avoiding asphalt mixer plant failure and material quality problems from the source;
Manufacturers can provide one-stop overseas on-site installation, commissioning and technical guidance services to solve local technical problems.
In order to match the construction needs of the project, the customer conducted all-round investigation and comparison on many asphalt mixing plant manufacturers at home and abroad, focusing on the assessment of equipment mobility, installation efficiency, operation stability and overseas after-sales support capability, and screening adaptation schemes layer by layer.
In the selection process, the customer first eliminated the traditional stationary asphalt mixing plant with poor flexibility, and excluded some competitive mobile asphalt mixing plants. This kind of competitive equipment generally has problems such as immature modular technology, disordered structural design and insufficient operation stability, which cannot adapt to the complex construction environment in Africa.
Our ZAP-M160 mobile batch asphalt mixing plant stands out by virtue of four core advantages: mature independent research and development technology system, industry-leading modular mobile design, strict factory quality control mechanism, and perfect overseas project landing service capability, comprehensively matching customers ‘construction pain points and project needs, becoming the best solution for this project.
ZAP-M160 mobile asphalt mixing plant relies on independent research and development technology and modular structure design to achieve one-to-one accurate solution, creating efficient construction solutions for customers that adapt to scattered infrastructure scenarios in Africa.
ZAP-M160 mobile batch mix asphalt plant is a standardized mature product independently developed and upgraded by our company for many iterations, and has accumulated rich experience in global application. The overall technical system of the equipment is mature and has strong adaptability to working conditions, completely avoiding the problems of unstable performance and high failure rate of newly developed equipment, perfectly adapting to the complex site environment and field construction conditions in Ethiopia, and stable and reliable long-term operation.
The whole asphalt plant equipment adopts scientific split design and is divided into four independent movable functional units, namely mobile cooling system, mobile dust removal system, mobile drying system and mobile stirring tower system. The four units can be disassembled independently, transported independently and deployed independently without dismantling the main body of the equipment as a whole, which can quickly complete the switching of construction points, perfectly solve the construction pain points of customers with multiple sites and high-frequency transitions, and greatly improve the flexibility of project construction.
Different from the traditional equipment scattered parts assembly mode, ZAP-M160 mobile batch mix plant all auxiliary components are integrated modular design. Compared with traditional equipment, the structure greatly simplifies the field installation process, shortens the preliminary preparation and installation cycle of the project by more than 30%, completely solves the problems of slow assembly, delay in production and delay in construction period of traditional equipment, and significantly improves the overall construction efficiency.
The core features of high flexibility and rapid assembly of mobile batch mix asphalt plant allow customers to easily undertake various scattered road projects in Ethiopia, regardless of site and location restrictions. At the same time, it greatly reduced the material and labor costs of repeated disassembly and cross-regional transportation of equipment, effectively improved the flexibility of customer project operation and overall profit space, and laid a solid foundation for long-term large-scale construction.
Unstable equipment quality, frequent failures and substandard finished materials are the core procurement concerns of overseas engineering customers, and are also key factors affecting project acceptance and economic benefits. In order to completely eliminate customer quality risk anxiety, our company has established a full-process, standardized factory quality control system.
Before leaving the factory, all ZAP-M160 mobile bitumen batch mix plants must undergo all-round and strict inspections by our company’s professional quality inspection department, covering equipment operation stability testing, accurate calibration of 160 tons/hour rated production capacity, dust removal efficiency testing, and complete machine safety. Performance verification and other core processes. Only equipment with all indicators up to standard and passing all standardized tests can be packaged, loaded and shipped, and unqualified equipment shall be prevented from flowing into the construction site.
The strict source quality control mechanism completely avoids the problems such as on-site shutdown failure of asphalt mixing plant and substandard asphalt finished product quality, ensures that the operating parameters of equipment fully meet the design standards after landing, avoids construction losses and construction period delays caused by equipment quality problems, and lays a solid foundation for long-term trust and cooperation between both parties.
In view of the shortage of local professional and technical personnel in Ethiopia and the difficulty in deploying overseas equipment, our company provides full-cycle one-stop overseas engineering services to ensure the smooth landing of the project.
During the landing process of this project, the site faces multiple problems such as tight construction period, limited operation space and complex field construction environment, which puts forward extremely high requirements for installation accuracy, commissioning professionalism and construction efficiency of 160 tons mobile asphalt plant. In order to ensure that the project is put into production on schedule, in October 2023, our company accurately responded to customer needs and dispatched two senior professional engineers to the construction site in Ethiopia to provide technical support throughout the whole process.
The on-site engineer team overcomes the site environment limitation and construction period pressure, and efficiently completes the whole process work such as equipment assembly, line docking, system debugging, complete machine trial operation, etc. From ex-factory quality inspection, freight tracking, on-site installation and formal commissioning, our company realizes full-chain closed-loop service, completely solving the core difficulties of customer overseas equipment deployment and technical operation and maintenance.
After professional installation and precise commissioning, ZAP-M160 mobile asphalt hot mix plant was successfully put into trial operation on the Ethiopian project site, with excellent overall operation status and all-round solution to all the pain points in the early construction of customers.
