Product Overview
A wheel mounted asphalt batch plant produces hot mix asphalt through separate aggregate weighing, bitumen metering, and batch mixing cycles. Its mobile configuration is intended for road contractors and infrastructure projects that require asphalt production at temporary or changing job sites.
Key Features
Batch-Based Mix Production
Separate weighing and mixing cycles support the production of different asphalt mix designs. Actual mix compliance depends on the plant configuration, calibration, mix design, and applicable testing requirements.
Transport-Oriented Configuration
Trailer-mounted or transportable modules can support relocation between project sites. Transport dimensions, axle loads, dismantling requirements, and road permits must be verified for the selected configuration.
Integrated Production Systems
The plant can incorporate cold aggregate feeders, a drying drum, screening equipment, hot aggregate bins, a weighing system, a mixer, dust collection, and PLC controls, subject to the confirmed supply scope.
Configurable Heating and Controls
Burner type, fuel supply, control modes, and auxiliary equipment can be selected according to project requirements and available site utilities.

Configuration & Model Selection
Select the plant according to production demand, material requirements, transportation restrictions, and site conditions.
Production Capacity
Match the rated capacity to hourly demand and daily paving schedules. Confirm batch size, mixing cycle time, and expected output under the project's operating conditions.
Aggregate Gradation
Choose the cold feed bin arrangement and screening configuration according to the required aggregate fractions and asphalt mix designs. Confirm the permitted feed size and screening capacity.
Transport & Site Access
Review overall transport dimensions, gross weight, axle loads, lifting points, dismantling procedures, and local road restrictions before shipment.
Fuel & Electrical Supply
Specify the available fuel, electrical voltage and frequency, installed power, and backup power requirements. Confirm burner compatibility and fuel consumption data for the proposed operating conditions.
Environmental Requirements
Identify applicable dust emission limits, noise restrictions, and local environmental requirements. Select filtration and burner options based on documented equipment performance and the destination market's regulations.
Main Components & Functional Scope
Cold Aggregate Feeding System
Multiple feed bins and controlled feeders supply aggregates to the drying system. Bin capacity and feeder range should match the required aggregate grading and production rate.
Drying & Heating System
The drying drum and burner heat and dry the aggregates before screening. Fuel consumption and achievable output depend on moisture content, ambient conditions, material throughput, and target discharge temperature.
Screening, Weighing & Mixing
The vibrating screen separates heated aggregates into fractions. Weighing equipment meters aggregates, filler, and bitumen according to the selected mix design before batch mixing.
Dust Collection System
Primary separation and a baghouse collect process dust. Confirm the applicable emission limit, filter design, and available test evidence for the selected configuration.
Control & Monitoring System
PLC-based controls coordinate the production sequence and operator settings. Confirm the available automatic, semi-automatic, manual, alarm, and data-recording functions before ordering.
Auxiliary Equipment
Bitumen storage, mineral filler silos, fuel tanks, generators, hot mix storage, and truck-loading equipment may be included or supplied separately. The quotation should identify each item clearly.
Manufacturing Quality Control & Documentation
Quality assurance should be defined by actual inspection procedures and delivery records.
Structural Inspection
Confirm the applicable welding inspection procedures, dimensional checks, and any specified non-destructive testing requirements for structural and transport components.
Component Verification
Critical components should be identified by manufacturer, model, and specification in the approved bill of materials. Alternative brands should be confirmed before production.
Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)
Where included in the contract, FAT can cover control sequences, safety interlocks, emergency stops, burner control functions, sensor checks, and weighing-system calibration. The final test scope should be agreed upon before manufacture.
Documentation & Traceability
Available documents may include general arrangement drawings, electrical schematics, operating manuals, component lists, inspection records, calibration records, and applicable conformity documentation.
Standards & Certification
Applicable standards and certifications depend on the equipment design, destination market, and contractual requirements. Any CE conformity claims or ISO management system certificates should be supported by current, relevant documentation.
Applications & Site Requirements
Highway & Expressway Construction
Suitable for projects requiring batch-based asphalt production for paving operations. Capacity and mix requirements should be checked against the paving schedule and specified asphalt formulations.
Road Maintenance & Rehabilitation
A mobile configuration may suit contractors serving multiple work sites. Relocation frequency, transport costs, setup time, and required auxiliary equipment should be considered during project planning.
Remote Infrastructure Projects
The plant may be configured for sites with limited access to permanent asphalt production facilities, subject to transport access, fuel availability, power supply, and environmental approval.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between a batch asphalt plant and a drum mix plant?
A: A batch plant weighs and mixes materials in separate cycles, allowing different mix designs to be produced in successive batches. A drum mix plant combines drying and mixing in a continuous process. The suitable choice depends on production requirements, mix changes, and project specifications.
Q: Can a wheel mounted asphalt batch plant be transported on public roads?
A: Transport feasibility depends on the selected configuration, dimensions, gross weight, axle loads, and local regulations. Confirm whether the plant can be towed as assembled or must be dismantled and transported in separate modules.
Q: Does the plant require a permanent concrete foundation?
A: Not necessarily. Some temporary installations may use engineered support pads or prepared ground, but suitability depends on support loads, ground-bearing capacity, stability, and local requirements. Follow the approved foundation and installation plan.
Q: How is weighing accuracy verified?
A: The weighing system should be checked and calibrated according to the manufacturer's procedures and applicable requirements. Request the specified accuracy, test method, calibration records, and acceptance criteria for the selected model.
Q: What information is needed to confirm the required production capacity?
A: Provide the target hourly output, aggregate moisture range, aggregate grading, required mix temperature, mix design, and operating schedule. The proposed capacity should be evaluated against these conditions rather than rated output alone.
Q: Can the plant be customized for different project requirements?
A: Configuration options may include feed bin quantity, screening arrangement, burner and fuel type, control functions, dust collection, storage equipment, and auxiliary systems. Confirm technical feasibility, supply scope, and delivery implications before order placement.
