Never has it been more important that every Capital Expenditure project delivers value for money and the best possible return on investment. A decade after being launched the Flomac Dosing System has now been specified in two thirds of the UK asphalt plants - testimony to their performance, durability and cost saving qualities. If expenditure is judged on long term benefits then asphalt manufacturers need look no further than the Flomac System. The Flomac System includes the unique Compac Unit which accurately weighs the additives before delivering them directly into the mixer using a powerful pneumatic blowing system. Silos for storing the additives are supplied as part of the package and are available in a wide variety of sizes to suit all types of products. The flexible spiral conveyors between the Silos and the Compac Unit mean even the tightest and most awkward of spaces in asphalt plants can be utilised. A long and growing list of pelletised products can be handled by the Flomac System, ranging from cellulose fibres, pigmented pellets, Sasobit, adhesion promoters as well as new products which are currently being developed for the asphalt industry. Indeed Flomac can handle any free flowing, non-dusting pelletised product. Reliable and robust the Flomac Systems enjoys an enviable reputation for dependability. Customers tell us that the Flomac System is so good that “they don’t know it’s there” as it automatically delivers the right quantity of additive time after time. The system can be specified as part of a new plant but is also easily retro-fitted, making it an easy solution to any materials handling problem. Apart from the accuracy of weighing and dosing the Flomac System offers other significant benefits. Products no longer need to be added by hand to the mixer which makes for a safer and more environmentally friendly work place as well as saving on manpower costs. For further details on how the Flomac System will help lower your costs, increase your profits and make the best long term use of your CapEx please contact Flomac Solutions |

| Adding AP to RAP |
“The use of RAP continues to grow. Each year new formulations are designed which allow for a greater percentage of RAP to be used in the mix. The Wetfix range of adhesion promoters have an important part to play in these recipes due to variable aggregate quality and the presence of residual moisture. Please look at the Wetfix Product Selector Chart which give details of some of the AkzoNobel products available from their UK distributor, Flomac Solutions. The more active grades such as Diamine OLBS or Wetfix N422 would be an ideal starting point for RAP formulations.”
“AkzoNobel’s Rediset WMX additive has now been successfully trialled on every continent in warm mix formulations. Using Rediset WMX in warm mix systems will reduce the asphalt mixing and application temperatures while improving the moisture resistance properties of the mix. |
