Astec Double Barrel drum dryer/mixer

The Astec Double Barrel® drum dryer/mixer’s exclusive sequential mixing process excels at making quality mix on a consistent basis.

Sequential mixing ensures ingredients are added to the hot mixture in an order that allows better temperature equalization and even distribution of all particles throughout the mix.

• The Double Barrel sequence begins when aggregate enters the drum from the conveyor and passes through the flop gate, which minimizes air leakage into the drum.
• From there, it passes through a series of veiling flights that transfer the heat from the burner to the aggregate.
• The aggregate then exits the inner drum, dropping down into the outer drum shell, where paddles sequentially mix in RAP, liquid AC, and dust/filler in a flame-free environment. In this zone, the constituents are mixed for the remainder of the drum length before exiting to the drag.
