Abstract (en)

An apparatus for the manufacture of hot mix asphalt (HMA) from re-cycled asphaltic pavement (RAP) comprising:- (i) a loading hopper suitable for charging the apparatus with particulate RAP; (ii) a processing chamber adapted to intimately mix the particulate RAP and to incorporate any additives as deemed necessary; (iii) a heating means associated with the processing chamber, said heating means being adapted to heat the RAP in the processing chamber to a substantially uniform and workable temperature; (iv) a discharge hopper suitable for unloading the rejuvenated product from the apparatus; characterised in that the heating means comprises one or more short-wave infra-red heaters. The process makes use of this apparatus. <IMAGE>
