RAP Systems
With increasing energy costs and reduced availability of virgin materials, the addition of Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) into the asphalt mix is becoming a very important factor for consideration by asphalt specifiers and producers alike. For many years Phoenix has been designing solutions and overcoming the difficulties associated with the introduction of RAP to achieve more economical and environmentally acceptable methods of asphalt production.
Cold RAP in the ratio 1:10 can be introduced directly into the hot elevator or a higher ratio of 1:4 can be achieved by adding directly into the mixer, either volumetrically or by weight, using a moisture evacuation system integrated within the mix cycle control.
With the significant financial savings and environmental benefits that are achievable through the use and introduction of RAP into the mix, not only are systems available for new plants but also for retrofitting to existing asphalt plants to extend and enhance their economic life.
