How the VEB Hot Asphalt Recycler works
The VEB Hot Asphalt Recycler typically works in conjunction with a JCB.
The JCB will skim off the old asphalt layer on a pathway and will load this break out material into the feeder or hopper of the Recycler.
It is at this point that, if required, extra Bitumen, 200 Pen or a small amount of ‘rejuvenator’ may be added to the break out material. The Asphalt Recycler then starts to heat up. Once the Asphalt has reached temperature the Recycled Asphalt is discharged, it is now ready to relay for a pathway or patch on the roadway.
Unlike other Asphalt Recyclers of this type, the VEB 20000 is capable of producing up to 20 tonnes of Asphalt per hour.
The Process...
| Recycle Breakout Material and Planings | Heat and Mix | Relay as Base, Planings can be used as a wearing course | ||
| Load the breakout material or 'planings' into the Asphalt Recycler. This can be done by JCB as shown in the presentation. | Depending on weather conditions and material, heating and mixing times are normally between 8- 18 minutes. Planings tend to be quicker due to the higher bitumen content |
Within 8-18 minutes you will have 4 - 5 tonnes of base material or 8 /6mm wearing/topping course ready to lay, |
