It’s the responsibility of the plant operator to ensure they are not exceeding dust limitations at the plant in order to comply with the Federal New Source Performance Standards (NSPS).

Why Your Baghouse is Important

The texture of this screed plate adds a lateral component as well as a longitudinal and vertical component. As the mix enters the OXCLAW immediately multiple forces are applied to the aggregate. At multiple depths, along with the vertical and longitudinal forces, the mix is moved side to side laterally, kneading the aggregate in place until it finds its final resting place. This movement aids in remixing your asphalt, helping with any possible segregation you may have.
