Mixture Production in an Asphalt Plant

When storing a finished, hot mixture in a silo, the mixture closest to the walls of the container is subject to gradual cooling. As storage time increases, the amount of cool mixture is likely to rise substantially. If the SMA contains modified binder, its stiffening process proceeds much faster. Moreover, we may face additional trouble with cool mixture stuck to the walls of the silo unless the silo is heated. Also, if the silo chutes are not heated, problems with discharging the mixture out of the silo can occur.
