Batch, continuous or mobile?

An asphalt plant dries and heats aggregates, then mixes them with bitumen. The right type depends on the number of mixes, the length of each project and the distances involved.

TypeTypical useCommon capacityStrength
BatchVaried mixes, special asphalt, recycling80–400 t/hQuick mix changes, precise dosing
Continuous (drum)Volume production of one mix60–400 t/hSimplicity, lower operating cost
Mobile / containerisedSuccessive road contracts, remote sites60–240 t/hFast relocation and re-erection

Common market ranges, to confirm against aggregate moisture and altitude.

Guide: fixed or mobile asphalt plant

The equipment that makes the difference

  • Burner: fuel oil, gas or multi-fuel, depending on local energy price and availability.
  • Dust collection: baghouse filter to meet the environmental requirements of public contracts.
  • Bitumen storage: heated tanks sized to supply frequency.
  • Recycling: reclaimed asphalt (RAP) to reduce material costs.
  • Controls: mix management and production records for the client’s inspections.

Frequently asked questions

What is the price of an asphalt plant?

It depends on capacity, type (batch, continuous, mobile), burner, dust collection and bitumen storage. We prepare a priced quote with the manufacturer from your need.

Fixed or mobile asphalt plant?

A mobile or containerised plant follows successive road sections. A fixed plant supplies an area long-term from one site. Our guide compares both.

What capacity for a road contract?

Divide the contract asphalt tonnage by the planned production days, then by daily working hours. Allow a margin for aggregate moisture.

Do you support road agency tenders?

Yes. We build the technical file with the manufacturer and check compliance with the tender specifications.

Describe your project and we will come back with a quote.
