DRUM MIX PLANT DM-60

An asphalt drum mix plant DM-60 isa continuous-process machine for producinghot mix asphalt (HMA) for road construction, featuring a drying and mixing drum that continuously heats and mixes cold aggregates, bitumen, and filler materials.

Core Function:

TheDM 60 plant continuously mixes materials to produce hot mix asphalt (HMA)suitable for road construction and maintenance.

KeyComponents and Process:

1.Cold Aggregate Feeder Bins & Screen:

Cold aggregates are fed from multiple bins and passthrough a screen to remove oversize materials.

2.Slinger Conveyor:

The sized aggregates are then transported to the dryingand mixing drum.

3.Drying & Mixing Drum:

This is the heart of the operation, where aggregates aredried and heated by a burner.A unique flight design ensures a uniformveil of aggregates, promoting thorough mixing.

4.Burner & Dust Collection:

An automatic burner heats the aggregates, and a primarydust collector captures dust from the drum.

5.Bitumen & Filler Supply:

Heated aggregates are mixed with bitumen from a storagetank (equipped with its own burner and pumping unit) and a mineral filler unit.

6.Pollution Control:

A secondary dust collector (often a wet filter) furtherminimizes emissions.

7.Load-Out System:

The finished HMA is discharged via a conveyor to a gobhopper for loading into trucks.

8.Control System:

An electronic control panel, sometimes with a printer,manages the entire process, ensuring consistent quality and operation.
