Installation Date: December, 2025
Location: Mali
Product: 160t/h Mobile Asphalt Mixing Plant
Model: ZAP-M160
In the first half of 2025, following extensive negotiations, we successfully secured orders for two sets of mobile asphalt mixing plants for a major infrastructure project in Mali. The core equipment for this collaboration comprises our independently developed and designed latest products: the ZAP-M160 mobile batch mix asphalt plant and the ZAP-C20M super mobile drum mix asphalt plant. These asphalt plants stood out among competitors due to their core advantages: high production capacity, flexible mobility, and environmental compatibility. They became the client’s core selection for advancing local road upgrading projects.
Following the order confirmation, our company immediately activated a dedicated fulfillment assurance mechanism. The project team promptly completed technical parameter verification and production planning, ensuring seamless coordination and efficient advancement across all manufacturing stages. Throughout the process, to guarantee full compatibility with Mali’s local construction environment, raw material characteristics, and environmental requirements, our technical department conducted multiple detailed consultations with the client, implementing targeted optimizations for specific equipment components. Ultimately, we successfully completed the production and manufacturing of both units strictly adhering to the contractual timeline. The client promptly dispatched a professional acceptance team to the factory for comprehensive inspection. Throughout the process, all indicators—including manufacturing quality, core performance, and safety configurations—met contractual standards and industry norms, earning high recognition from the client’s acceptance team. Subsequently, following the client’s project timeline, we completed all packaging, loading, and shipment of goods by the end of August.
Each of the two core units delivered possesses distinct advantages, precisely tailored to different construction scenarios within the project. The ZAP-M160 mobile batch asphalt mixing plant, with a designed capacity of 160 tons per hour, leverages the precise batching advantages of intermittent mixing to meet the stringent quality requirements for asphalt mixtures in high-grade road paving. This unit integrates a complete mobile core system, including: – Five large-capacity aggregate hoppers (enabling separate storage and precise feeding of different aggregates) – A high-efficiency mobile drying drum (delivering uniform heating and high thermal efficiency, adaptable to Mali’s diverse aggregate moisture conditions), an enclosed mobile powder supply system (effectively reducing powder dust pollution), and a baghouse dust collection system compliant with international environmental standards (achieving over 99% dust removal efficiency to meet Mali’s increasingly stringent environmental regulations). It also includes comprehensive asphalt tanks, diesel tanks, and a thermal oil furnace heating system, ensuring stable asphalt performance under any environmental conditions. Additionally, the equipment features an intelligent control system that offers user-friendly operation and adjustable parameters, enabling real-time production monitoring and data traceability. To ensure seamless project execution, the client concurrently procured complementary equipment including asphalt distributors, dump trucks, road sweepers, and drinking water truck, establishing a comprehensive road construction equipment system covering mixing, transportation, paving, and maintenance.
Following shipment, we established a dedicated logistics tracking team to monitor transportation progress throughout the journey. Due to recent geopolitical tensions in Mali, uncertainties such as cross-border route adjustments and customs clearance delays significantly impacted international freight timelines. The team maintained frequent communication with freight forwarders, local customs authorities, and the client, proactively addressing transportation challenges and proposing solutions while coordinating resources to ensure cargo safety. After months of cross-border transit, all goods arrived safely and intact at the client’s designated warehouse in Mali. The client expressed full understanding and recognition of our efficient coordination capabilities and responsible attitude amid complex transportation conditions.
Upholding our service philosophy of “customer-first and commitment to fulfillment,” we strictly adhered to contractual obligations upon delivery. We immediately coordinated the dispatch of a professional engineering team to Mali. Considering the unique local conditions, we preemptively prepared safety precautions for the engineering team, developed detailed on-site service plans, and established contingency measures. Upon arrival, the engineers immediately commenced equipment installation and commissioning. They provided comprehensive guidance to the client’s construction personnel throughout equipment assembly, pipeline connections, system debugging, and operational training, ensuring rapid deployment for normal construction operations.
Currently, the installation and commissioning work is progressing smoothly. The client has highly praised our on-site service responsiveness, the engineers’ professional capabilities, and the equipment’s operational status. This collaboration not only demonstrates our technical strength and production assurance capabilities in the R&D and manufacturing of mobile asphalt plants but also deepens the cooperative trust with the client through efficient fulfillment services and a responsible corporate attitude. It lays a solid foundation for the continued expansion into the African infrastructure market.
ZOOMLINE ZAP-M160T, as the core model of T-type mobile batch mixing asphalt plant, has become the benchmark equipment for high-end road construction and emergency infrastructure by relying on the advanced mixing technology of Germany and the high mobility structural design of DMI of Korea. With the rated capacity of 160t/h and the drying capacity of 160-180t/h, ZOOMLINE ZAP-M160T can efficiently meet the needs of various types of projects such as high-level highways, airport runways and so on. Its rated capacity of 160t/h and drying capacity of 160-180t/h can efficiently meet the needs of large-scale construction of high-grade highways, airport runways and other projects.
In the core configuration, ZAP-M160T is equipped with 5×8m³ large-capacity cold aggregate feeding system, with standard silo shortage alarm, anti-clogging vibrator and anti-big aggregate screen, to ensure the stability of the material supply from the source; 1950×9000mm high-efficiency drying drum is driven by four friction-wheel synchronous motors, with low-noise operation and even heating, which is adaptable to the aggregate raw materials of different moisture content, and matched with the optional burner of oil/natural gas/dual fuel, which is suitable for the construction of high grade highways. With oil/natural gas/dual fuel optional burner, it can meet the energy supply demand of different regions in the world; 550 square meters bag dust removal system realizes more than 99% dust removal efficiency, and the closed powder supply system further reduces the dust pollution, which is in full compliance with the international environmental protection standards and the strict environmental regulations of various countries.
The intelligence and reliability of the equipment are also at the leading level in the industry: the mixing tower is equipped with 4/5 layers of vibrating screen, 3×2000kg aggregate weighing and 2000kg mixing main unit, which adopts the imported German NORD speed reducer and METTLER TOLEDO high-precision weighing sensors, and the 45-second mixing cycle takes into account the precision of mixing and productivity; the electrical control system integrates Siemens, Schneider and other international famous brands. The electrical control system integrates Siemens, Schneider and other international famous brands of components, automatic control of the whole process of drying, weighing, mixing and unloading, with intelligent operation interface, supporting real-time monitoring and traceability of production data, and a single shift can be operated by only 3-6 people, significantly reducing labor input.
