This new Astec double barrel, four hundred ton per hour, portable plant is
located near Waldorf Maryland. The facility is ideal for the production of stone matrix asphalt (SMA). The twenty acre site was designed by Gary Stillmunkes and the Astec engineers. All of the stockpile areas are fully paved and are on a 3% grade to insure rapid drainage of stored materials.
Supplies for the new facility include four vertical storage tanks, two individual thirty-thousand gallon asphalt tanks and an agitated twenty-thousand gallon asphalt tank. In addition, there is another twenty-thousand gallon vertical tank used to fuel the production facility. Seven cold feeds and a rap feeder control the aggregate being sent to the plant. A seventy-two thousand cubic foot per minute baghouse controls particulate emissions.
