Abstract

The present disclosure relates to industrial equipment for the hot recycling of asphalt mixes. The industrial equipment may comprise a portable bank of hoppers which may be used to meter RAP and unadulterated petrous materials and may be mounted on a supporting structure, along with gear motors which control the metering and send a signal to a flow indicator in a control panel where it may be recorded and controlled. A conveyor belt may be provided below the hopper bank in order to receive the material and transport same to a rotary cylinder comprising an industrial open-flame burner that may be used to transmit heat energy indirectly to the RAP and to the supply of unadulterated petrous material. In some embodiments, the present disclosure may also comprise: a tank for storing a mixture of asphalt and rejuvenating agent enhanced with polymers, which may be metered using a volumetric gear pump through a pipe towards the rotary cylinder, the outlet of said cylinder comprising a temperature sensor that may send a signal to the recycled asphalt mix temperature indicator in the control panel; a recycled asphalt mix lifting system which may convey said mix to a discharge silo; a combustion gas extractor which may discharge combustion gases from the burner; a fuel storage tank which may be used in the industrial burner; and a weight measuring element which may be at the inlet of the rotary drum.
