New Order Signed with Sudan for ZAP-C20M 20TPH Mobile Asphalt Plant
On March 9, 2026, ZOOMLINE completed an online contract signing with a seasoned local road construction contractor of Sudan, formally finalizing the purchase order for ZAP-C20M 20 tons per hour mobile drum mix asphalt plant.
Sudan is currently in a critical phase of large-scale post-war reconstruction. The country’s highway network has suffered years of damage due to conflict, and potholes and damage are particularly prevalent on urban and rural arterial roads as well as secondary roads in towns and villages. As a result, demand for road repair and new construction projects across the country continues to surge. Local infrastructure contractors generally have an urgent need for lightweight, highly mobile asphalt mixing equipment.
The client involved in this collaboration has been deeply rooted in Sudan’s road construction industry for over a decade, undertaking numerous projects involving rural roads, repairs to damaged urban road surfaces, and the construction of small-scale feeder roads.
The client’s core procurement requirements centered on small mobile asphalt mixing equipment that is easy to relocate, has a small footprint and suitable for construction at scattered locations. Ultimately, they selected our ZAP-C20M 20TPH mobile continuous asphalt mixing plant, which fully meets their needs for road repair projects across the country’s widely dispersed locations.
Key Construction Challenges Faced by the Sudanese Client
Based on Sudan’s local construction environment and years of practical feedback from clients, there are four major, intractable challenges in local road construction.
First, construction sites are extremely scattered, with repair projects ranging from northern towns to remote southern villages. Each project requires only a small amount of material, and sites must be changed frequently. Traditional stationary asphalt mixing plants take several days to set up and dismantle, and long-distance transportation costs are high, making them unable to keep pace with the rhythm of multi-site, mobile construction;
Second, construction sites in rural areas are rudimentary, consisting mostly of temporary open spaces and dirt roads without hardened foundations. Large mixing equipment requires a significant footprint and the prior pouring of concrete foundations, creating high barriers to entry for construction;
Third, local fuel and labor costs are rising year by year. Outdated mixing equipment is energy-intensive and has poor measurement accuracy, leading to imbalanced asphalt mix proportions. This results in pavements that are highly prone to cracking and requiring rework after paving, significantly driving up project operating costs;
Fourth, road emergency repairs are often sudden; heavy rains or heavy-duty trucks can damage the road surface at any time, requiring equipment to be put into operation quickly. However, the commissioning process for older asphalt equipment is cumbersome, delaying emergency repairs and affecting the progress of municipal project delivery.
Faced with these multiple challenges, the client compared similar small-scale asphalt mixing plants from various international brands and ultimately selected our customized ZAP-C20M mobile asphalt mixing plant.
Core Asphalt Plant Equipment Configuration and Product Advantages
The ZAP-C20M 20T/H mobile asphalt plant, which was the subject of this contract, was specifically developed for small-scale road repair projects in Africa. Featuring an integrated trailer chassis design, the asphalt plant requires no concrete foundation and can be towed by a standard trailer for cross-regional relocation.
The asphalt plant equipment features five core standard configurations: fully automatic intelligent fuel burner, high-precision aggregate and powder metering system, integrated insulated asphalt storage tank, pulse bag-house dust collector and sealed finished product storage silo.
Key Advantages of the Asphalt Mixing Plant for Sudanese Operating Conditions
The mobile asphalt plant with stable output capacity of 20tons per hour, meeting the daily material requirements for local small-scale road repair projects.
Fully modular integration of the entire unit, with assembly, disassembly, and commissioning taking only 4 hours, enabling rapid deployment and production for emergency road repairs;
Fully enclosed pulse-jet dust collection system adapted to Sudan’s windy and sandy climate, reducing dust pollution while preventing sand and dust from entering components, thereby extending equipment service life;
The intelligent electronic control system automatically blends sand, gravel, asphalt, and mineral powder with a single button, ensuring uniform and stable mix quality and reducing the likelihood of pavement cracking and rework at the source;
The low-energy-consumption combustion unit is compatible with Sudan’s locally available diesel fuel, reducing fuel consumption by 15% compared to similar equipment, effectively lowering long-term operational costs;
The compact overall dimensions allow the unit to be set up directly on narrow rural dirt roads or temporary open spaces, making it suitable for scattered road construction scenarios throughout Sudan.
Customized Solutions for the Sudanese Market
Taking into account Sudan’s post-war infrastructure environment, climatic characteristics, and customers’ long-term business plans, we provide a comprehensive set of localized upgrade and customization solutions to fully meet local, personalized construction needs.
To address Sudan’s climate, characterized by year-round strong winds and sandstorms as well as extreme diurnal temperature fluctuations, the entire asphalt plant is equipped with outdoor wind and dust protection kits; the asphalt storage tanks feature thickened polyurethane insulation, ensuring asphalt fluidity even during low-temperature nighttime construction and preventing solidification that could clog pipelines;
To address the issues of incomplete power grid coverage and unstable voltage in Sudan’s remote rural areas, the equipment is equipped with a dual power supply system—mains power and a diesel generator—ensuring stable production even in areas without grid access;
Given that the client frequently undertakes rural road repair projects, we have additionally provided small, mobile asphalt paving accessories to offer a one-stop solution covering the entire construction process—from crushing and mixing to paving;
The asphalt plant equipment’s control system, operating manual, and troubleshooting guide have all been updated with Arabic versions to eliminate language barriers for local operators and shorten the learning curve for operating the equipment;
Additionally, the machine’s disassembly structure has been optimized to meet Sudan’s customs clearance requirements and on-site hoisting conditions, reducing the difficulty of cross-border transportation and on-site hoisting, and fully aligning with local construction practices in Sudan.
One-Stop, Full-Process Delivery Support Services
Upon confirmation of the order for this mobile asphalt plant, our company immediately activated our standardized, full-cycle delivery service system, covering the entire chain from order scheduling and production monitoring to quality inspection, customs clearance and ocean freight, overseas installation guidance, and after-sales maintenance.
High-Standard Production Quality Control and Smooth Customs Clearance
Once the order took effect, the production workshop opened a priority production channel and simultaneously provided the customer with real-time updates via live videos of on-site preparation and component production progress. Before the asphalt plant leaves the factory, it undergoes three full-load discharge quality inspections, and a comprehensive quality inspection report is issued in Chinese, English, and Arabic. A dedicated member of our international trade team coordinates the preparation of customs clearance documents for Sudan, providing a complete set of certificates of origin and equipment parameter customs declaration documents.
Professional Remote Technical Support and All-Round After-Sales Guarantee
Upon the equipment’s arrival at the port in Sudan, we arrange for remote installation guidance engineers to be available 7*12 hours online, providing real-time video guidance to help the local team complete equipment assembly and commissioning. We offer a 12-month warranty on core components and maintain a local inventory of commonly used wear parts in Sudan, significantly reducing spare part delivery times. Additionally, we regularly provide Arabic-language equipment maintenance tutorials and offer remote assistance to help customers perform routine inspections, ensuring long-term, stable operation.
