ASPHALT PLANT CONTROL INCLUDING STRIP CHART RECORDING AND PRINTED DELIVERY TICKETS

IN THE STRICTEST MEANING OF THE WORD, TODAYS MODERN ASPHALT PLANTS HAVE VERY LITTLE AUTOMATION OR SELF CORRECTION AS A TRUE DEFINITION IMPLIES. PROBABLY THE CLOSEST ARE THE AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE DETECTING, RECORDING AND CONTROL SYSTEMS USED DEPENDING UPON THE CONFIGURATION OF THE PLANT. THEY BRING INTO PLAY THE PRINCIPLES OF FEEDBACK AND SELF CORRECTION. /NAPA/
