Asphalt Recycling

Recycling of asphalt is just what it implies: used asphalt is routed off the road and utililized again.

Hot mix recycling is the most commonly used asphalt recycling method today. With this technique the asphalt from road surface is typically routed off and then taken to asphalt plant to be processed with heated aggregates.

Recycling of asphalt results has several benefits:

• - Saving natural resources
• - Lower costs
• - Preventing huge amounts of used asphalt from entering landfills

The environment and cost saving benefits of asphalt recycling are clear. Throwing away all the torn up road and replacing it with virgin material creates a disposal problem and unnecessary use of raw material. Recycling simply repairs the existing asphalt.

Amomatic recycling equipment have been developed and tested for modern asphalt plant demands. This is environmental and cost effective way to save natural resources.  Amomatic has several years of experience in using recycling asphalt in Scandinavia. It’s possible to mix 60 % of used asphalt and even more for any recipe, depending on local regulations. The modular construction of Amomatic recycling equipment makes it easy to transport and it can be incorporated also to existing asphalt plants. Equipment includes own main electrical center and AmoControl system. AmoConrol system is easy to operate also with existing control systems.
