Equipment for processsing Asphalt

What type of equipment is used to process waste asphalt?

Asphalt waste usually goes through 2 stages of processing; 1. Breaking and size reduction, 2. Sorting. Things like hydraulic breakers, crushers and shredders are used to break the material down from large chunks into a more useful size. A screener is then used to sort the waste into different sized products depending on what you want to use it for.

How do you get rid of waste asphalt?

Normally waste asphalt is piled into a dump truck or skid and brought to a dump site. However, with the right equipment it can be recycled on or off site to be re-used on projects as fill material, road base, and more.

Why should you recycle your asphalt waste?

Recycling asphalt can make or save you a lot of money. If you are paying to dump material with fuel, driver costs, and dump fees plus paying for material on your jobs it could be substantially cheaper to recycle your waste on site. You could also break down and process your waste to sell to other contractors — creating a new revenue stream for your business.
