- 240 TPH: Suitable for large infrastructure projects requiring sustained asphalt production
We offer specific batch-plant configurations in higher-capacity variants. Select the ideal capacity based on your daily production targets, aggregate availability,
transportation distance, operating hours, and future expansion plans.
Types of Asphalt Plants
1. Automatic Asphalt Batch Mix Plant
A batch mix plant produces asphalt in accurately measured batches. Aggregates, filler and bitumen are weighed separately before entering the mixer.
Key advantages include:
- Precise control over mix proportions
- Consistent asphalt quality
- Easy switching between mix recipes
- Accurate temperature monitoring
- Suitable for specification-driven projects
- PLC-controlled operation
Batch plants are ideal for highways, airport-related projects and applications requiring multiple asphalt grades.
2. Automatic Asphalt Drum Mix Plant
A drum mix plant produces asphalt through a continuous process. Aggregates are heated, dried and mixed with bitumen as they move through the drum.
Its benefits include:
- Continuous asphalt production
- Simple operating process
- Lower production interruptions
- Efficient output for large-volume work
- Economical operation and maintenance
- Compact plant arrangement
Drum mix plants commonly support highway construction, road widening, and projects that require uninterrupted material supply.
3. Mobile Asphalt Mix Plant
Manufacturers mount mobile asphalt plants on transportable chassis units, allowing operators to relocate them easily between project sites.
Its advantages include:
- Faster installation
- Easier transportation
- Reduced foundation requirements
- Suitable for short-duration projects
- Practical operation in remote locations
- Greater flexibility across multiple sites
Mobile plants are particularly useful for rural roads, hill roads, repair projects and contracts spread across several locations.
4. Stationary Asphalt Plant
A stationary plant operates at a fixed production facility and supports regular or long-term asphalt production.
Its major benefits include:
- Stable high-volume production
- Heavy-duty structural design
- Larger storage options
- Consistent output over extended shifts
- Integration with advanced dust-control systems
- Suitable for long-term infrastructure development

How Does an Asphalt Hot Mix Plant Work?
The production process follows a controlled sequence:
- Aggregate feeding: Operators load different aggregate sizes into separate cold-feed bins.
- Controlled proportioning: Feeder gates and conveyors release each aggregate in the required proportion.
- Drying and heating: Aggregates enter the rotating dryer, which removes moisture and heats the material to the required temperature.
- Dust collection: Dust-laden air passes through the plant’s pollution-control system, which captures particulate matter.
- Screening and storage: In a batch plant, the hot aggregate elevator lifts the heated aggregates, screens them by size, and stores them in hot bins.
- Accurate weighing: Aggregates, mineral filler and bitumen are measured according to the approved mix design.
- Uniform mixing: The measured materials enter the mixer and are blended for a preset duration.
- Quality monitoring: The PLC system monitors parameters such as temperature, material quantity and mixing time.
- Final discharge: The finished hot-mix asphalt is discharged into a tipper truck or temporary storage silo for transportation to the paving site.
In a continuous drum plant, drying and mixing occur continuously instead of through individually measured batches.
Applications of Automatic Asphalt Plants
