Astec Double Barrel® Drum Mixer
Overview
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.
