Last Updated: August 2026 Quick answer: Asphalt is the world’s most widely used road-paving material because it costs less to install, can be laid and opened to traffic faster than concrete, lasts 15-20 years with regular maintenance, is 100% recyclable, and provides a smoother, quieter, safer driving surface. These advantages make it the default choice….
The Drying and Mixing unit of the asphalt plant demands complex flight design and heat transfer technology. With our passion to build the best machines, continuous R & D and incorporation of the latest design up-gradations, KEW thermodrum is way ahead of competition. The KEW thermodrom unit follows a triple heat transfer system that ensures a total transfer of heat to the aggregates, translating into higher productivity and lower fuel consumption. The heat is transferred to the aggregates using the conductive, connective and radiation techniques. The field proven unique flight design ensures total heat transfer, a thorough mixing & coating, lower emissions and prevention of bitumen oxidation.
