GAJJAR EQUIPMENTS PVT. LTD. specializes in manufacturing state-of-the-art asphalt drum mix plants engineered to meet the needs of both government and private sector projects in India and internationally. This article breaks down the critical features, technical elements, and distinct advantages that make our drum mix plants the preferred choice for road builders.
About Asphalt Drum Mix Plant
An asphalt drum mix plant is a type of equipment designed for continuous production of asphalt. It combines aggregates, bitumen, and filler material in a single rotating drum to produce hot mix asphalt in a streamlined, energy-efficient manner. Unlike batch mix plants, which mix asphalt in separate batches, drum mix plants offer non-stop mixing, making them ideal for large-scale projects requiring uninterrupted asphalt flow.
Core Features of GAJJAR make Asphalt Drum Mix Plants
1. Cold Aggregate Feeding System
- Multiple bins (typically 3–4) to accommodate different sizes of aggregates
- Adjustable gates and variable speed drives for proportioning control
- Vibratory feeders to ensure uninterrupted, clog-free material flow
- Belt conveyor system to transport aggregates to the drying drum
2. Drying and Mixing Drum
- Fabricated from heavy-duty steel plates with abrasion-resistant liners
- Specially designed flights for efficient heat transfer and thorough mixing
- Single drum design integrates both drying and mixing zones for continuous production
- Equipped with temperature sensors and thermocouples for precision heat control
3. Burner Unit
- Compatible with diesel, light diesel oil (LDO), heavy oil, or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)
- Fully automatic operation with flame monitoring system
- High fuel efficiency with adjustable flame length for optimal combustion
- Low noise and emission levels for environmental compliance
4. Bitumen Storage and Heating System
- Vertical or horizontal storage tanks with thermic oil heating
- Bitumen transfer pump with flow control valve
- Fully insulated body to minimize heat loss and energy consumption
- Level indicators and safety valves for secure operation
5. Mineral Filler Unit
- Surge hopper and screw conveyor for additive dosing
- Enables accurate addition of fine materials like lime or fly ash
- Integrated with mixer zone to enhance asphalt strength and stability
6. Pollution Control System
- High-efficiency baghouse filter or wet dust collector depending on plant size and regulation
- Captures particulate matter and prevents dust from escaping into the atmosphere
- Designed to meet CPCB and international environmental guidelines
7. Control Cabin and PLC Automation
- Air-conditioned operator cabin equipped with SCADA or PLC control panels
- Real-time monitoring of key parameters: temperature, material flow, fuel consumption
- Auto/manual toggle for operational flexibility
- Emergency stop features and data logging for safety and diagnostics
Advantages of Using GAJJAR make Asphalt Drum Mix Plants
✅ High Output Capacity
With production ranges from 30 TPH to over 160 TPH, drum mix plants cater to both medium and mega-scale roadwork projects.
✅ Continuous, Uninterrupted Production
Unlike batch plants, the drum mix process allows 24/7 operation, resulting in faster project execution and time savings.
✅ Lower Operating Costs
Minimal moving components mean fewer wear-and-tear parts, leading to reduced maintenance and cost-effective fuel usage.
✅ Modular and Compact Design
Plants can be stationary or mobile, with easy-to-assemble modules that require less civil foundation work.
✅ Improved Mix Consistency
Because aggregates and bitumen are heated and mixed continuously in the same drum, the resulting mix maintains uniform quality across the entire output.
✅ Environmentally Responsible Operation
Advanced filters and optimized combustion systems help reduce emissions, ensuring cleaner operations that meet industry and legal standards.
Common Applications of Drum Mix Plants
- National and State Highways
- Rural and Village Roads (PMGSY projects)
- Airport Runways and Taxiways
- Industrial Roadways and Internal Facility Roads
- Ports, Logistics Parks, and SEZ Developments
