ASPHALT RECYCLING OPENS NEW DOORS TO SAVINGS

This article describes the evolution of asphalt reclaiming and recycling, and reviews the major types of recycling. The benefits of recycling were realized with the advent of the drum mixer. Recycling through profiling is discussed. The cold planing process with the development of various machines is described. The basic components of the cold planer are described, and charts are provided to aid in the determination of productivity. The influence of aggregates on productivity and tooth life is noted. The article discusses recycled asphalt pavement produced by ripping being placed through crushers prior to a hot recycling process. Cold recycling, the utilizing of milled or cold planed RAP for a base material with or without a stabilizer, that has been taken from a stockpile is also described. Surface recycling (a process that heats, scarifies, may or may not blend new asphalt and/or aggregate, rejuvenates, and levels distressed asphalt pavements in place) is briefly reviewed.
