Polygonmach drum mix or continuous type hot mix asphalt plant is a type of asphalt plant where the heating and mixing processes occur in a continuous manner within a rotating drum.
The functions of a drum mix/continuous type Polygonmach asphalt plant include:
Aggregate Storage and Handling: The plant has storage bins or silos to store various sizes of aggregates. These aggregates are sorted and fed into the plant for processing.
Drying and Heating: The aggregates are fed into the rotating drum, where they are heated and dried using hot gases. This process removes moisture from the aggregates.
Asphalt Binder Storage and Heating: The plant has storage tanks for storing the asphalt binder, which is heated to a specified temperature before being introduced into the drum.
Mixing: As the aggregates move through the drum, they come into contact with the hot asphalt binder, resulting in the mixing of the materials to produce hot mix asphalt.
Storage and Loadout: The hot mix asphalt is temporarily stored in silos or storage bins until it is ready for loadout onto trucks for transportation to the construction site.
Polygonmach drum mix/continuous type asphalt plants are used in various applications, including road construction, highway projects, airport runways, and large-scale paving projects.
