The dryer drums are the key components in the asphalt production process, both for the white mineral and the RAP material. They remove moisture from the raw material and perfectly prepare the material for the processing temperature.
The drums are available in different lengths, diameters and with different built-in materials depending on the system design and the drying matrix (based on the burner, dryer drum, and dust collection).
Influencing parameters such as the plant location, type of rock, material moisture, material temperature and fuel type determine whether lifter plates are used.
Dryer drums are compact, robust and easy to maintain. Made by Benninghoven.
Lifter plate highlights
Outstanding material quality with maximum flexibility
First-class drying
Continuous temperature optimisation
Built-in fire protection
Easy to replace
Outstanding material quality with maximum flexibility
BENNINGHOVE lifter plates are available in a range of materials and shapes – made of low-wear and temperature-resistant steel or heat-resistant steel (recommended for the addition of cold RAP material and mastic asphalt).
First-class drying
Well-designed material guidance thanks to an adapted drum layout plan and optimised placement of the lifter plates results in an optimal material curtain and thus an optimal drying result.
Continuous temperature optimisation
Ideal exhaust gas temperature through the installation and removal of lifter plates.
Built-in fire protection
Excellent protection of the drum in the hot zones via fire protection plates (self-protection).
Easy to replace
Drum components can be replaced quickly and easily thanks to the bolted design and high-precision fit and genuine connectors.
