Introduction to Hot-mix plant:

Hot mix plants are also called as asphalt mixing plants or drum mix plants. In a drum mix plant the aggregate is not only dried and heated within a drum, but is also mixed with the asphalt. The basic plant consists of a rotating drum dryer, an asphalt proportioning and asphalt dispensing system. The ease of setup and operation of the drum mix plant makes it ideal machine for operation. A complete set up of hot mix plant includes broadly three operations:
  • Crushing and separating of stones
  • Aggregate storage and feed
  • Drum mix
