16. Asphalt Recycling

The JP6000 HIR System

The JP6000

The JP6000 heats, removes, rejuvenates and repaves up to 2 lane kilometres of asphalt surface per day. The process is known as Hot In-Place Recycling (HIR). Environmental benefits include significant reductions in the consumption of Non-Renewable Paving Materials and production of Green-House Gas Emissions. HIR is fast, safe and performs like new asphalt.

The JP6000 Multi-Step Process

  1.  Preheating

  2. Hot Milling 

  3. Windrow Heating

  4. Rejuvenate & Repave

Step 1. Preheating

The three preheaters initiate the process by heating and softening the surface to a depth of 50 mm. They feature a unique recirculating hot air system that prevents surface overheating while capturing and incinerating emissions and hazardous fumes.

Step 2.  Hot Milling

Next, the Hot Milling Machine removes the preheated and softened surface to a depth of 50 mm without crushing the aggregates. This process maintains the original gradation, enabling successful Hot In-Place (HIR) mix designs with 80% recycled content

Step 3. Windrow Heating

This machine raises the temperature of the hot-milled windrow from 110°C to 140°C. The higher temperature further liquefies the asphalt binder, enhancing mixing, rejuvenation, smoothness, and compaction.

Step 4.  Mixer-Paver

By combining two functions into one machine, the Mixer Paver achieves both the rejuvenation and paving processes. The JP6000 features a superior batch metering and mixing system for the accurate and homogeneous addition of rejuvenating agents and new materials.

Features and Benefits

In addition to delivering an "as-new" pavement surface, the JP6000 offers a range of environmental benefits. Click here to learn more.
