The CSAP-120 represents Constmach's commitment to delivering industrial-grade asphalt production equipment that combines efficiency with reliability. This 120 ton per hour stationary plant is engineered for contractors and operators who need consistent output without compromising on quality. Built around a 2,000 mm diameter dryer drum and a powerful 1,700 kg twin shaft mixer, the system processes aggregates through four 15 m³ compartments, ensuring continuous material flow during production cycles.
What sets the CSAP-120 apart is its fully automatic control system, which reduces operator involvement to a single person while maintaining precise temperature management at 160°C. The plant's batch-type configuration means it produces hot mix asphalt in controlled cycles, allowing operators to adjust formulations between batches based on project specifications. This flexibility proves particularly valuable when working on projects that require different mix designs throughout the day. The twin shaft mixer handles 1,700 kilograms per batch, delivering thorough aggregate coating and consistent mixing action that meets strict quality standards.
The compact footprint of 600 m² makes the CSAP-120 suitable for sites where space is limited, though this measurement excludes storage areas, truck parking zones, and administrative facilities. Site preparation becomes straightforward since the entire system ships in six containers or trucks, with additional units required only if extra bitumen storage tanks are specified. Installation teams appreciate this modular approach because it simplifies logistics and reduces on-site assembly time. The plant operates on standard 380V/50Hz power, which aligns with most industrial electrical infrastructures worldwide.
Maintenance considerations play a crucial role in long-term operational costs, and the CSAP-120 addresses this through its straightforward design. The absence of complex automation components means fewer potential failure points, and routine cleaning can be performed with water alone, eliminating the need for specialized chemical agents. Depending on production intensity and material characteristics, cleaning intervals typically extend to several months. This low-maintenance profile translates directly into reduced downtime and lower operational expenses over the equipment's service life.
Durability stems from Constmach's multi-layer protection system, which includes one anticorrosive base coat followed by two layers of final coat epoxy paint. The total thickness reaches 140 microns, providing resistance against the corrosive effects of heat, moisture, and chemical exposure inherent in asphalt production environments. This protective coating extends component longevity and maintains the plant's appearance even after years of continuous operation in harsh conditions.
Batch-type stationary plants like the CSAP-120 excel in scenarios where production volume matters but flexibility remains important. Unlike drum mix plants that run continuously, batch systems allow quality control checks between production cycles and enable formula adjustments without stopping the entire operation. The 120 ton per hour capacity suits mid-sized to large paving projects, from highway construction to airport runway rehabilitation. Contractors appreciate the balance between output volume and operational control that this capacity range provides.
Energy efficiency considerations increasingly influence equipment selection decisions, and the CSAP-120's design incorporates heat management strategies that minimize fuel consumption while maintaining target temperatures. The dryer drum's dimensions optimize heat transfer efficiency, reducing the energy required to bring aggregates to production temperature. Over thousands of operating hours, these efficiency gains compound into significant cost savings that improve project economics.
Constmach's engineering team designed the CSAP-120 with international markets in mind, incorporating features that comply with various regional standards and environmental regulations. The plant's ability to maintain consistent product temperatures while processing different aggregate types makes it adaptable to local material availability. Whether working with limestone, granite, or recycled asphalt pavement, the system's mixing capabilities ensure uniform coating and proper temperature distribution throughout each batch.
The single-operator requirement reflects modern automation capabilities while maintaining the human oversight necessary for quality assurance. Sensors and control systems monitor critical parameters, alerting the operator to any deviations from set points. This approach combines technological reliability with human judgment, particularly important when processing materials with varying moisture content or when environmental conditions change during production runs.
For contractors evaluating stationary asphalt plant options, the CSAP-120 offers a proven platform that balances production capacity with operational simplicity. Its technical specifications reflect real-world production requirements rather than theoretical maximums, and the equipment's track record across global installations demonstrates its capability to perform consistently across diverse operating environments and climatic conditions.
