Very nice work so far Ethan! If your doing an asphalt plant and dio do you plan on having a asphalt recycling operation on site if you have the room? Almost every asphalt plant site has a recycling operation on it.


I would like to have a crusher but I am going to tight on space already, in the future I will need a RAP (Recycled Asphalt Products) production center.

Quote:
any thoughts on making this plant a portable one?

No I am going with a permanent plant site because of the size of the plant.

Had to start it to have a release from working.


Not much progress recently, but I do have half of the mounting board now. It will have to be in two halves to get it in and out of the door.

I just got done putting together a mobile asphalt plant. This one will be more fun to see go together.

89cxsport thank you for posting the picture flor me. It is a poor picture because it was one I trying to upload because as you can see I have no idea how to. Would it be possible for you to explain to me what I am doing wrong so I can post some pictures that are more viewable. Again thanks for the post of the picture for me.

Making progress now. Work is starting to slow down for the season. I took advantage of the warm day to paint some of the parts. Also starting on the dust collection system.

Lots of parts getting paint.


Question for the rest of you about windows. For my control tower I want to put in some black tinted windows, I just need to find a suitable material. Any suggestions?
