Counter Flow Drum Mix Plant

The new Alltech make Counter flow drum mix plant continuous type technology is setting new standards for asphalt mix production since it is an advanced version of Traditional drum mix plant. This is a new technology which is recently launched in India and has so many advantages over the drum mix plant. Since it is provided with a Pollution control bag house which strictly follows the EU norms and makes counter flow drum mix plant pollution free. 

The prime benefits of the plant are:

Fuel efficiency,

Pollution free

Homogenous mixing for better coating

Less emission

Centralised control cabin

Facility to add RAP

.? New technology warm mix system

Addition of single use waste plastic scrap addition

The heart of this plant is a high efficiency counter flow dryer drum with a matched fully modulating long nose burner. In drum mix plants, the parallel flow heat transfer technology is used where in the material to be heated and the hot gases flow parallel to each other in the same direction. In a counter flow dryer drum, the material to be heated and the hot gases flow contra to each other meaning in opposite directions. This is a highly efficient heat transfer system to maximize the transfer of heat from hot gases as well as radiation heat from the burner flame to the aggregates. And the spraying of bitumen and filler is done when the hot aggregates pass behind the burner in the same dryer drum.

We as a team always think of introducing new technologies in India which will result in a better way of doing the things. So, we decided to introduce this technology in India.
