Asphalt Mixing Plant
Asphalt Quality
Process
Lab Mix Design
1) Selection & Proportioning of binder, aggregate and filler
2) Final Optimum Mix ( Bitumen Content, Void in Total Mix, Void in Min, Void Filled in Bitumen, Flow and Stability )
3) Parameter ( Stability, Flow, Stiffness, Void in Total Mix, Void in Aggregates filled with Bitumen )
Plant Trial Mix

2) Mix Parameter ( Grading, Bitumen Content, Void in Total Mix, Void in minimum aggregate, Void filled with Bitumen, Flow and Stability)

Factor Affecting Quality
Compaction
1) Material Properties, Environmental Variables, Site Condition, and Types of Compaction Equipment
2) Best Practices ( Equipment Selection, Sequences of Compaction, Rolling Patterns and Speed, Correct Roller Operations, Timing From Batching to Paving, Avoid Over-Compaction)
Temperature
To avoid Difficulty in Achieving Density, Water Permeability of Mat , Ageing of Binder
Segregation
To Avoid Variability in Mix Composition, Finer Fraction higher Binder Content, Variation in Density & Void, Worse with Large Aggregate Mix.
Asphalt Mixing Plant
Types
Drum Mix
1) Aggregate is *dried, heated and mixed with bitumen.

Batch Plant
-

-
4) Combined aggregate is dumped into mixing Chamber, Pugmill and mixed with asphalt.
