Astec Inc. expanded the Six Pack Series hot mix asphalt facilities with the addition of the new Six Pack Global Series facility. The Six Pack Global Series is an alternative to the batch plant for producers in a range of markets outside of North America.
Like the Astec Six Pack facility that has been in the United States for more than 20 years, the Six Pack Global Series facility features wear-resistant components mounted on easy-to-transport loads. The components can be easily erected or folded down for transport using hydraulics or manual jacks. All of the components are pre-wired and most ladders, stairs, platforms and handrails ship pre-installed.
The standard Six Pack Global Series asphalt facility includes a two to four bin cold feed system, a portable 6 ft. (1.8 m) Double Barrel drum mixer rated at 198 tons (180 t) per hour, baghouse, self-erecting bin, and PMII-B control system with the WM-2000 truck loadout system. An optional RAP system also is available.
The Astec double barrel drum mixer is capable of producing mixes with up to 50 percent RAP content.
