Determine the type of asphalt plant

If your projects have a long construction period and high output requirements, or you want to build a high-quality grade road, you can choose a forced mix asphalt plant. If the road you want to build has a long distance and you need to move your equipment frequently, it is more convenient to choose a mobile asphalt plant.

In addition, if you are building a country road, or your investment cost is limited, you can consider choosing a drum mix asphalt plant. Alternatively, you can use the drum mix plant to repair roads.

Consider the output of the asphalt plant

According to the length of the construction period and the size of the total engineering volume, calculate the average asphalt mixture required per hour. If you need 40 tons of asphalt mixture per hour, then you can consider an asphalt plant with a capacity of 50 tons per hour or 60 tons per hour.

This is because the output of the asphalt mixing plant in the parameter table refers to the theoretical output. The theoretical output refers to the state that can only be achieved under ideal conditions. In actual operation, some problems may occur, so the theoretical output of the asphalt plant you choose should be slightly higher than the actual output you calculated. Only in this way can the needs of the project be met.

Ensure the configuration of asphalt plant

Different countries and regions have different requirements for road construction. Customers can determine the configuration of the asphalt mixing plant according to their actual situation.

For example, determine the type of dust collector according to local environmental protection requirements. If the local environmental protection requirements are high, you can choose the bag dust collector with better dust removal effect; otherwise, you can choose the cheaper water dust collector.

There are also three options for the raw materials of the burning system, namely coal, diesel and natural gas. Among them, the cost of using natural gas is relatively high. Of course, this also depends on the customer's local resources.

The finished product silo are also available as the side-mounted silo and the lower-mounted silo.

Consider the budget

There are different types and models of asphalt mixing plants. Their prices are also different. Customers need to choose the most cost-effective equipment according to their budget.

The price of the drum mix plant is relatively cheap, and the lowest price is about tens of thousands of dollars. The minimum cost of a forced mix asphalt plant is about hundreds of thousands of dollars. The mobile asphalt plant has a slightly higher cost because it has a mobile chassis.

All in all, the price range for an asphalt plant ranges from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is also related to the different requirements of customers for equipment.

Consider whether the manufacturer is reliable

The first thing to look at is the time the manufacturer has been engaged in this industry of equipment production. If a manufacturer has been operating in the market for more than ten years, it proves that the manufacturer has some strength and has not been eliminated by the market competition.

You also need to check whether the manufacturer can provide reliable service. Regardless of pre-sales, on-sales or after-sales, you may encounter various problems. If a manufacturer can provide you with timely services, it can quickly solve your problems and save your time.

Then, you can also listen to previous customers' comments on the manufacturer. This can best reflect whether the manufacturer is trustworthy.

Finally, if it is convenient, you can visit the manufacturer's company and production factory.
