Dillman DuoDrum Installation Reduces Maintenance Costs

Asphalt Plant Matters

Dillman DuoDrum
When Northwest asphalt producer/contractor Lakeside Industries installed a new Dillman DuoDrum in Monroe, WA, minimizing maintenance items was an added benefit
The new plant includes a 12' x 40' 10" Model 124010 two-room split-control module.
The new plant is equipped to meet the emerging market demand for reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) mix designs. While Washington Department of Transportation currently allows up to 20 percent RAP content to be used on its projects, commercial customers currently allow 20 to 25 percent.

And the fact that three Dillman plant experts were on site for a month during installation provided reassurance that the plant would deliver to Lakeside's expectations.

"We did a lot of preliminary work (electrical and concrete) in September and then erected the plant in October, and when we turned it on November 3rd, it was producing mix the first day," Dempsey states. "This is the first double drum system we installed and we believe it will serve our needs for a long time to come."
