Astec, Inc., an Astec Industries company has test-fired the largest burner that it has manufactured since entering the burner market in 2003. Astec built the 150 MBTU long-nose Phoenix Talon burner for Milestone Construction in Indianapolis to be used in a Dillman unified drum rated at 600 TPH. The burner weighs about 12,000 pounds.

Efficient and consistent drying is one of the biggest challenges in operating an asphalt plant. For example, open graded friction course (OGFC), stone mastic asphalt (SMA), or High RAP and RAS can cause high baghouse temperatures. Furthermore, virgin or low RAP mixes, dense graded mixes and warm mix cause very low baghouse temperatures. For these reasons, plant operators have found it very hard to do everything without physically changing the drum flighting – plus the consequences of these temperature changes can spell real trouble.
