Atlas is a manufacturer of hot asphalt batching plants. We have successfully exported many machines of different capacities. This blog is about our recent installation of a 260 tph asphalt mixer and about its components and features. Atlas manufactures top quality asphalt batch plants with focus on quality and service. The equipment is designed to be working for long time without breakdown. The use of quality brought out items in the manufacturing enables us to offer the best quality.
Stringent quality norms are followed at each manufacturing stage. In the end, the equipment is sand blasted prior to application of paint. This process allows us to get a plant that is more finished and better looking. When higher quality components are used, the machine tends to perform better. Each component is designed with care, and it works in tandem with other units for a trouble free performance. Better- and high-quality raw materials = better quality and performance.
All the components of the hot asphalt batching plant are important and crafted with precision. Since this is a tower type batch asphalt plant of 260 tph the components are bigger compared to the other smaller plants of 60 tph, 100 tph, 120 tph or even the 160 tph plants. The components are modular means the plant is easily broken down into different small components for easy installation. This also facilitates easy transportation of the full plant. The key components of this machine are listed as below:
5 bin cold aggregate feeder.
Primary vibrating screen and slinger conveyor.
Drying drum
Fuel efficient air atomization burner.
Bag filter with pre-separator
Filler silo with elevator
Hot aggregate elevator
5 deck vibrating screen
5 deck hot bins
Mixing unit
Weighing scales for filler, aggregates and bitumen on tower of hot asphalt plant.
Bitumen storage tanks with thermic heating unit.
Fuel tank for drum burner.
Control panel system
