Wet Mix Macadam Plant
Wet Mix Macadam (WMM) is a relatively newer concept used for laying the base course, which is placed right before the hot mix asphalt during road construction. The binding materials used for the base in case of WMM are prepared in the plant and then brought to the site for overlaying and rolling. A standard WMM plant comes with the following components :
Cold Aggregate Feeders Vibrating screen Conveyor with load cell Pug mill mixer Load out conveyor Silo or Hopper Water tank Control Panel inside the cabin
The WMM plant offers the flexibility to supply it with additional cement. The plant is provided with cement hopper and cement silo for pumping the extra cement directly into the pug mill. The motor that comes equipped with screw conveyor of the cement hopper/silo is synchronized with the load cell and the required quantity of cement can be added to the pug mill.
