Astec to exhibit at Conexpo 2020
Astec will exhibit products and solutions at Conexpo 2020 to be held on March 10-14 in Las Vegas, USA. Astec will highlight its depth of product offerings with displays featuring: the 1/8 scale model of a complete Astec M Pack? relocatable asphalt facility featuring the double barrel XHR high RAP drum capable of producing mix with up to 65 per cent RAP content. For Conexpo, the M Pack model is enhanced with an augmented reality experience providing insights into the many benefits in Astec plants and equipment.

The Voyager? 140 ultra-portable, compact asphalt plant built around a Double Barrel? drum featuring Astec V-flights. V-flights in the drum provide greater uniformity of the aggregate veil during the drying process, which results in better heat transfer, a reduction of fuel use, and increased productivity. Thanks to the Double Barrel drum, the Voyager 140 plant is capable of producing mix with up to 50 per cent RAP content.

The new Astec Versa Jet? burner is a re-imagined asphalt plant burner that takes an evolutionary leap forward. One versatile platform can be quickly configured to fire at 25, 35 or 50 mm BTU/hr with just a few adjustments. This versatility means the burner can be easily relocated to a different plant if the need arises. Ideal for retrofit applications or anytime versatility is required the Versa Jet fits any drum configuration.

For remediation markets, Astec will display a model of a vacuum assisted thermal desorption system developed in partnership with Envirosoil as a means of treating waste drilling mud/cuttings to reclaim on-spec drill mud oil, ready for use in new drilling muds as well as clean water that meets water standards for various uses and treated solids that can also be used as a recycled material.

SiloBotSM inspection service is a safer solution for silo inspections. Using the Astec SiloBot robot, a trained inspection technician stays safely outside the silo while performing a thorough inspection of the silo interior. A SiloBot inspection takes less than two hours to fully inspect all silo welds, while a traditional inspection takes much longer to only inspect the bottom third. With regular inspections, one can perform preventative maintenance that extends silo life.
