FAQs

• What is asphalt recycling?

  Asphalt recycling involves transforming breakout material, planings, and leftover hotbox waste into freshly heated, ready-to-lay asphalt, reducing waste and cutting down on costly new material.

• What are the environmental benefits?

  Recycling asphalt offers significant environmental benefits, including diverting waste from landfill, cutting harmful emissions, lowering the overall carbon footprint, and reducing fuel consumption throughout the supply chain.

• What are the benefits to the contractor?

  By recycling breakout material and leftover hotbox waste, you can significantly reduce your carbon footprint, eliminating the need to queue at asphalt plants. This not only cuts emissions and fuel use, but also reduces downtime, boosts productivity, and delivers substantial cost savings.

• Does recycled asphalt perform as well as virgin asphalt?

  In short, recycled asphalt delivers performance on par with virgin material, meeting the same standards for durability, workability, and finish.

• What is the cost per ton of recycled asphalt?

  Recycled asphalt typically costs around £25 per ton, offering a cost-effective alternative to virgin material.

• Can it be used for surface and base layers?

  Recycled breakout material is well-suited for use in base layers, offering structural integrity and sustainability. Leftover virgin asphalt can be stored by grade and, when reheated, performs like fresh asphalt straight from the plant.

• Do we need to add anything to the mix?

  This step is optional, as breakout material naturally contains bitumen, making it highly valuable and effective for asphalt recycling

• What is the fuel type?

  Diesel

• What is the fuel consumption?

  It is estimated at about 7lt per ton

• How much asphalt can be recycled and what are the processing times?

  Our machines are built to accommodate a wide range of recycling volumes, tailored to suit projects of all sizes. From producing 500kg of mix in just 10 minutes to processing up to 10 ton in around 40 minutes, they deliver speed, scalability, and efficiency where it matters most

• Can we hire the machines?

  We collaborate with trusted third-party hire providers to offer flexible, tailored solutions for our customers. Working closely with both you and the hire company, we help identify the most suitable equipment and terms to support your specific project or contract requirements.

• Do you ship the machines globally?

  Yes, our asphalt recyclers operate in multiple countries worldwide, which is a testament to their reliability and versatility. They’re especially effective in rural and remote areas, where sourcing traditional asphalt is both challenging and very expensive.

• Is training provided?

  We provide comprehensive training and certification to all contractors who purchase our machines, equipping them with the skills to operate, maintain, and maximise the performance of their equipment.
