A mix hot Asphalt company spends around Rs. 2,80,87,950 annually on the production of 100,000 tons of asphalt material and that too for drying and heating only. The primary reason behind the excessive expenses is that the asphalt plant manufacturers do not pay much attention to its care. Asphalt plant management and asphalt production are thought to be passive expenses for an asphalt manufacturer company and therefore, the manufacturer ignores the serious expenses.
Nevertheless! Those were the things of the past. Now we are going through a technologically advanced era. Therefore, a little care can save a huge amount of money every year. So, let’s find out how things turn out in your favour. Here are the top tips and tricks.
One of the biggest loopholes in the classic Hot Mix Asphalt plant is its “jumper” hoss or tank which is left uninsulated. That is a significant source of heat loss. Inadequately insulated tanks are enough to ruin the economic condition of a company. Therefore, the first thing you should do is install the latest HMA plant made of cutting-edge technology and save a big amount of money every year.
The latest innovation is highly optimized and it is made of closed-cell silicone sponge rubber. That provides complete insulation protection due to its low conductivity. In short, the newest HMA plant can save you around Rs. 414,000 per operating season.
Save on Dryer
Apart from hot mix operation, hundreds of dollars are spent on dryers every year. So, you should find a solution to reduce the cost of dryer consumption. Here’s how.
You must think about keeping the space, where aggregates are kept, moisture-free. That is possible when you avoid stockpiling the aggregates unnecessarily. The better would be if you, being an asphalt plant manufacturer, purchase the aggregate at the right time keeping the space in your mind. In a simple sentence, purchase the aggregate as per space you have to stockpile them avoiding overloading the space. You can take the help of technicians to keep the space more moisture-free.
Save on Electricity
Electricity consumption can vary depending on the workload and how frequently a plant starts or stops. The frequent start-stop process can significantly consume a higher electricity bill than a plant operating in a continuous way. So, two things can be done to save on electricity bills.
First, make sure that the plant operates in a continuous manner. Prepare all processes which required to be done prior to the plant starting so that you may not have to stop the plant quite frequently.
Second, install technologically advanced equipment for an asphalt plant. Most asphalt plant manufacturers believe that the newest technology has helped them save significant amounts of money on electricity bills. The latest machines work on fewer screw conveyors that result in bestowing soft-start appliances on the main motors. You will see the output in the monthly electricity bill.
In short, the more you pay attention to your plant, the better you save. So, there can be some other ways as well which you can apply to save money.
