Hot Mix Recycling
Hot in-place asphalt recycling is a process for rehabilitating deteriorated asphalt pavement. The operation is performed entirely on site by an equipment train and begins by applying heat to soften the wearing course of the pavement. the asphalt material, which is loosened and removed by milling devices, is mixed together with or without the addition of rejuvenation. This mixture is then spread along the roadway and compacted to complete the recycling process.
While this basic method of 100% recycling can be quite effective, certain remix option may sometimes be necessary, such as the addition of admix or aggregate materials for structural correction and upgrading. Hot in-place asphalt recycling effectively addresses the classic symptoms of deteriorated pavement
- Hot mix recycling- Cracks are interrupted and filled.
- Aggregate stripped of bitumen is remixed and re-coated.
- Ruts and holes are filled, shoves and bumps are leveled.
- Drainage and crowns are re-established.
- Flexibility is restored by chemically rejuvenating the aged and brittle pavement.
- Aggregate gradation and asphalt content may be modified.
- Highway safety is enhanced through improved skid resistance.
