In the fast-paced world of road construction, efficiency and consistency are key. That’s where the drum mix plant comes in—a powerful, continuous asphalt production system designed to deliver high-quality hot mix asphalt (HMA) with minimal downtime. Whether you’re building highways, rural roads, or airport runways, a drum mix plant ensures steady output, fuel efficiency, and cost-effective operations.
At GAJJAR Equipments Pvt. Ltd., we specialize in state-of-the-art drum mix plants that combine rugged design with advanced automation to meet the demands of modern infrastructure projects.
What Is a Drum Mix Plant?
A drum mix plant is a type of asphalt mixing plant where the processes of drying, heating, and mixing aggregates with bitumen occur in a single, continuous drum. Unlike batch mix plants, which operate in cycles, drum mix plants produce asphalt continuously, making them ideal for large-scale, time-sensitive projects.
How Does a Drum Mix Plant Work?
1. Aggregate Feeding
Different-sized aggregates are loaded into cold feed bins, which regulate the flow of materials onto a conveyor belt.
2. Drying and Heating
The aggregates enter a rotating drum, where they are dried and heated using a high-efficiency burner.
3. Mixing with Bitumen
In the same drum, bitumen and filler materials are added to the heated aggregates, creating a homogeneous asphalt mix.
4. Discharge and Storage
Operators discharge the final hot mix asphalt into storage silos or directly load it into trucks for transport to the paving site.
Types of Drum Mix Plants
- Parallel Flow Drum Mix Plant: Aggregates and burner flame move in the same direction. Simple and cost-effective.
- Counter Flow Drum Mix Plant: Aggregates move opposite to the burner flame, improving heat efficiency and reducing emissions.
