100% Reclaimed Asphalt Recycling: How Truck-Mounted Rotary Thermal Reclamation Gear Resolves All Asphalt Pavement Defects

Introduction: Urgent Upgrade Needed for Conventional Asphalt Repair Industry

Expressways, municipal arterial roads and rural highways suffer long-term vehicle abrasion, rain and snow corrosion, which easily trigger a wide range of pavement damages including potholes, alligator cracking, pavement upheaval and broken areas around manhole covers. Traditional repair workflows bear three critical drawbacks:

1. Discarded waste asphalt aggregates lead to massive raw material waste, high costs for extracting and transporting fresh asphalt mixtures, and severe environmental compliance burdens;

2. Long-distance round trips to asphalt mixing plants for hot stock cause lengthy road closure and traffic congestion during construction downtime;

3. Small-scale repair jobs lack precise temperature control and consistent mixing. Poor bonding between new and aged asphalt results in recurring damage at patched spots, inflating long-term maintenance expenditure.

The FND-RZS1500L integrated mobile hot recycling mixer, a dedicated on-site pavement restoration machine, eliminates all limitations of conventional road maintenance. It enables 100% on-site reclamation and reuse of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), delivering one-stop solutions for every type of asphalt surface defect, serving as an energy-saving, efficiency-boosting core asset for paving engineering teams.

Full-Spectrum Defect Restoration: Single Mobile Asphalt Recycler Covers All Patching Scenarios

This on-site thermal mixing unit is engineered to repair all common asphalt pavement damages, compatible with all tiers of highway infrastructure worldwide:

1. Highway & National Trunk Maintenance: Recycle milled waste from large-area potholes, long-distance mesh cracking and pavement bulges without long-distance material haulage;

2. Urban Municipal Road Upkeep: Rapid small-area repairs for sidewalks, main carriageways, non-motor lanes and damaged zones surrounding manholes;

3. Industrial Park & Airport Surface Care: Minor fresh asphalt paving for factory driveways, airport aprons and scenic parking lots;

4. Emergency Road Rescue: Instant restoration of pavement damaged by heavy rain, snowfall or traffic collisions, mixing batches and laying hot mix immediately on-site.

The unit performs two core tasks simultaneously: heating and regenerating milled old asphalt, and blending brand-new hot asphalt mix with aggregate and bitumen on demand to match diverse construction demands.

Core Technical Advantages: 100% RAP Recycling & Intelligent Low-Consumption Operation

1. 360° Uniform Rotary Heating, Industry-Leading Thermal Efficiency

Fitted with a high-capacity 1500L rotating mixing kettle, this mobile paving refurbisher adopts an Italian Riello 120kW industrial diesel burner paired with double-layer pollution-free ceramic cotton thermal insulation. The rotary drum rotates 360 degrees to eliminate uneven hot spots.

• Initial batch heating takes only 15–20 minutes; follow-up batches finish within 10–15 minutes; single mixing cycle processes 800–1000kg asphalt mix;

• Reverse spiral auto-discharging empties all materials in 0.5–1 minute, drastically cutting field waiting time.

2. 100% On-Site Reclaimed Asphalt Reuse, Maximum Raw Material & Eco-Cost Savings

Milled crushed waste asphalt is directly fed into the mixing chamber during construction. A diesel thermal heating system softens and regenerates aged aggregates, while an emulsified bitumen spray system replenishes oil content to restore adhesive performance of degraded pavement scraps, achieving zero waste disposal.

Compared with traditional construction methods, it fully erases expenses for virgin aggregate and new bitumen procurement, cuts waste transportation and landfill emissions, and complies with global green road maintenance standards.

3. Dual Bitumen Feed Systems for Customized Construction Matching

Clients can select standalone or combined bitumen supply modules to fit unique project requirements:

• 100L thermally conductive oil constant-temperature hot bitumen tank: Maintains steady heat for hot asphalt to extend patch service life;

• 25L emulsified bitumen spraying station: Creates a strong bonding interlayer between new and old pavement, while replenishing bitumen content for oil-depleted recycled aggregates;

Comes with a 7.5m emulsified bitumen delivery hose, 4.5m full electric heating hot bitumen pipeline, a 550W air compressor and automatic diesel pipeline cleaning system for clog-free, low-maintenance operation.

4. Siemens PLC Intelligent Touchscreen Control, Prevents Asphalt Aging & Segregation

Equipped with imported thermocouple temperature sensors and a Siemens PLC LCD intelligent control cabinet, this portable bitumen regenerator regulates operations via dual temperature & timing logic:

• Automatically lowers drum rotation speed during heating and mixing to avoid aggregate separation and asphalt thermal degradation;

• Accelerates rotation for fast complete discharging; integrated explosion-proof and overload protection allows intuitive one-click operation for novice operators;

The independent electrical cabinet features a visual touchscreen with real-time readouts of temperature, rotation speed and mixing duration, stabilizing consistent construction quality.

5. Truck-Built Compact Framework with Optional Auxiliary Attachments

Designed as an all-in-one truck superstructure with a streamlined compact footprint, this highway repair rig fits most light commercial trucks. Optional value-added attachments include:

1. Remote-controlled 360° folding LED night lighting assembly: Dual 200W lamp heads with 90° folding and 270° vertical rotation, eliminating blind spots for after-hours construction;

2. Road safety warning package: 8 sets of DC12V strobe beacons + bi-directional arrow guide lights to alert passing traffic far from the work zone and boost crew safety;

3. Dual power generator options: 6.5kW Jialin gasoline generator / three-phase diesel generator with electric start, delivering stable power at remote job sites without grid access.

Complete Technical Specifications of FND-RZS1500L

1. Mill and crush defective pavement, feed reclaimed asphalt waste directly into the thermal mixing chamber;

2. The rig regenerates aged pavement scraps via on-site heating, or blends virgin aggregate and bitumen to produce brand-new hot asphalt mix;

3. Activate reverse rotation for rapid full discharge of hot mixture;

4. Manually spread hot asphalt material over repaired pavement cavities;

5. Compact surface with road roller;

6. Reopen traffic rapidly, with restored pavement resistant to recurrent cracking and damage.

Equipment Selection & Procurement Guide

1. Municipal & highway large-scale maintenance projects: Opt for the dual integrated bitumen system model to balance RAP recycling and large-volume fresh mix paving;

2. Minor scattered repairs for industrial parks and residential compounds: Select the cost-effective base unit with only emulsified bitumen function;

3. Construction zones with frequent night shifts: Add remote LED lighting and full warning light kits to enhance after-dark job safety;

4. Remote off-grid construction sites without mains power: Match with a diesel generator set for all-day uninterrupted operation.
