Asphalt Recycling

Asphalt Mix Composition

Asphalt pavement is actually about 6% asphalt, 4% air and 90% mineral aggregates (rock, gravel and sand) that come from rivers and mountains.

Asphalt Aging

As asphalt concrete ages, it loses the flexibility and adhesion properties provided by the 6% asphalt, but most of the aggregates remain.

Implications of not Recycling Asphalt

Every day (during road rehabilitation processes) recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) accumulates in landfills or collection centers with low reuse rates. And in order to continue making new asphalt mix, aggregate sources such as rivers and mountains continue to be exploited.

Recycling is the Best Road Maintenance Strategy

Proper road maintenance would reduce fuel use and emissions by up to 6% as well as noise pollution.

Asphalt recycling method with AARS​.

A complete circular process for the industry

1.

EVALUATION

Physical inspection of the roadway/RAP.​

Laboratory analysis: % of existing asphalt and Gradation​

2.

MIX DESIGN

Determination % of: rejuvenator and asphalt emulsion. Aggregates. Other materials

4.

END (FINISHING)

Extension and Compaction

3.

PRODUCTION

Roadway preparation. Incorporation of the RAP. Warming up.

Addition of additives. Mixing at temperature

5.

REUTILIZATION

After years of service the road can be recycled again.

Addition of Other
Recycled Materials

Other materials such as polymers can be incorporated into the process. ​ We are constantly looking for more recycling ​ alternatives to incorporate into the process.

Rejuvenators

There are many asphalt rejuvenators available. And we are constantly looking for more.
