The Alpine series enables HMA producers to maximize high total production of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) content without sacrificing mix quality, utilizing Ammann’s industry-leading controls and technologies. The Alpine series control system is extremely intuitive and allows tracking and analyzing plant operating data in real time to provide opportunities to gain further efficiencies over competitive equipment.
The plants produce high-quality mix designs, including high recycled product (RAP) mix designs with typical rates of 50% standard and 60% via dual collar feed. The extended mix section of the drum allows for better heat transfer to the material and longer mixing time. The 60% RAP capabilities give the Alpine series market leading RAP content at the highest consistent quality.
The Alpine series plants core components are also capable of seamless integration into your existing asphalt facilities for retrofit and upgrade needs.
Innovation has been a core value at Ammann since the company founding in 1869. We firmly believe that innovation is a true market differentiator for Ammann. A few examples of our current generation of innovative customer solutions:
- Advanced automation and control systems that are continually evolving to meet the needs of our customers and to take advantage of the latest technology developments.
- Our software provides information on asphalt production energy efficiency for single or multi-plant operations and offers best-in-class digital planning, control, and documentation of construction projects. This software can manage digital product information from the point of sale through to confirming that the pavement meets end-user specifications.
- Ammann has robust internal research and development teams. Current areas of focus include advanced process automation, use of alternative fuels such as hydrogen, and reducing plant emissions.
Environmental performance and stewardship are becoming ever more important to the hot mix industry. Some of the elements we have integrated into the design of the Alpine plant include:
- Baghouse with built-in primary separator option designed to meet the most stringent particulate matter emission limits;
- Enclosed slat conveyor drive chain in oil bath to reduce noise and decrease wear;
- Sealed transfer slat and transfer conveyors to reduce air pollution;
- Blue smoke capture and control systems for material handling and storage systems (top and bottom of silo);
- Low NOX and Ultra-low NOX burner option;
- Wide range of fugitive dust reduction system.
