What are the main components of the asphalt mixing plant?
There are many components that work in unison to make this plant complete. The feeder bins, dryer drums, filters for environment protection, tower unit, control panel, etc. Each component is discussed in detail below. Cold aggregate feeders: Cold aggregate feeders are the starting point for any batch process of the plant. They will hold the cold and virgin aggregates in separate bins according to their sizes. Different aggregate sizes have to be in separate bins because they will be controlled by the frequency-controlled drives. Charging conveyor and vibrating screen: Vibrating screen here is a single deck primary scalping screen designed for the removal of oversized aggregates. As the aggregates pass through the screen it helps in separating the bigger particles from the rest. From below the screen, a conveyor runs straight to the drying drum. This conveyor takes the aggregates from below the vibrating screen and transfers the same to the drying drum. Burner and drying drum: This drum
