​As the name suggest, asphalt batching plant makes HMA in batches. The cold aggregates are dried, screened and stored in different compartments before being weighed and discharged into the mixing unit for mixing with liquid asphalt cement and minerals. Similarly, bitumen is heated and weighed prior to dispatch in the mixing unit. minerals are weighed separately before dispatched. Here it is possible to use different grades of aggregates accurately and even the batch time can be adjusted.
