Choosing the right asphalt drum mix plant is a high-stakes decision that dictates your project’s pace, profit margins, and compliance with modern environmental standards.
As we move through 2026, the industry has shifted toward higher efficiency and stricter emission controls, making your choice of manufacturer more critical than ever. Based in the engineering hub of India.
Gajjar Equipments Pvt Ltd has spent decades perfecting the balance between rugged durability and cutting-edge technology. Here is a guide to selecting the perfect drum mix plant for your road construction project.
1. Match Capacity to Your Project Velocity
Capacity is measured in Tons Per Hour (TPH). Choosing a plant that is too small leads to site delays, while one that is too large results in wasted fuel and inefficient burner operation.
- Small Projects (20–60 TPH): Ideal for rural roads or municipal patching.
- Medium Projects (60–120 TPH): The “sweet spot” for state highways and industrial park roads.
- Large-Scale Infrastructure (120–160+ TPH): Reserved for national expressways and airport runways.
The Gajjar Advantage: We offer a versatile range of TPH options specifically engineered to handle the varying moisture content found in Indian aggregates, ensuring you hit your output targets every single day.
2. Drum Technology: Parallel Flow vs. Counterflow
Not all drum plants are built the same. Your choice depends on your budget and quality requirements.
- Parallel Flow: Aggregates and the burner flame move in the same direction. These are generally more affordable and compact.
- Counterflow: Aggregates move toward the flame. This technology is significantly more fuel-efficient and allows for better heat transfer, making it easier to meet modern environmental norms.
3. Mobility: Stationary vs. Portable
If your business model involves moving from site to site every few months, a portable (mobile) plant is non-negotiable. Gajjar specializes in highly mobile designs.
Our portable units feature “plug-and-play” wiring and modular components, allowing you to dismantle, move, and re-establish your plant in record time without specialized heavy-duty tools.
4. Environmental Compliance
Environmental regulations are now strictly being enforced across India and other countries. A plant that doesn’t meet these will lead to heavy fines or project shutdowns.
- Pollution Control: Gajjar plants come equipped with high-efficiency Wet Scrubbers or advanced Baghouse Filters to ensure particulate matter (PM) emissions remain well within legal limits.
- Burner Efficiency: Our low-NOx burners are designed for multi-fuel compatibility, allowing you to switch between Diesel, LDO, or Natural Gas based on availability and price.
5. Modern Features to Look For
To stay competitive in today’s market, your plant should offer more than just basic mixing:
| Feature | Why You Need It |
|---|---|
| PLC/SCADA Controls | Gajjar’s fully automated control panels ensure precise bitumen-to-aggregate ratios, reducing waste. |
| RAP Systems | Allows you to use Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement, saving up to 30% on material costs. |
| Insulated Bitumen Tanks | Essential for maintaining the correct binder temperature with minimal reheating fuel. |
