On January 2, 2025, the Macroad ALQ100 batch asphalt mixing plant was officially put into operation in Indonesia. This milestone marks the successful transformation of the customer from the traditional model of relying on purchased asphalt mixtures to a cost control expert in independent production.
The problem: the cost of purchasing asphalt mixtures is too high
This customer is a well-known local asphalt road engineering construction contractor. He previously purchased a crushing station from our head office AIMIX, and then learned that our company also has an asphalt mixing plant, which is highly related to his engineering project. Therefore, we had a second cooperation, the purpose of which was to solve his long-term reliance on the increasing cost of purchasing asphalt mixtures.
This time the customer purchased the ALQ100 asphalt batch mixing plant model. Next, let me learn how ALQ100 solved the customer’s problem.
New cost control: Smart metering achieves 15% savings per ton
- Save production costs: Adopt dynamic precision control secondary metering technology to perform secondary correction metering of asphalt according to the amount of stone, strictly guarantee the oil-stone ratio, guarantee the quality of finished materials, and avoid asphalt loss;
- Save power loss: We use a 4-layer double vibration motor linear screen. Under the same productivity, the power consumption of the linear vibration screen is lower than that of the circular vibration screen, saving production costs;
- Save fuel costs: The newly designed drying drum adopts a patented power drive structure, and there is an insulation layer on the outside of the drum, which effectively reduces heat loss and fuel consumption.
Production-shipment-installation-commissioning: perfect delivery
Strategic transformation: From cost control to market competitiveness
With the commissioning of ALQ100, the company’s project manager said: “The independent production capacity gives us a double advantage in quotation efficiency and construction period control. Macroad provides not only equipment, but also a sustainable development partnership.”
