CEI Enterprises of Albuquerque, New Mexico is a leading manufacturer of production equipment used in the infrastructure and energy industries. CEI produces mixing equipment for both concrete and modified asphalt materials. Primary products include continuous-process and batch-process concrete production facilities, asphalt-rubber blend- ing systems, hot oil heaters, storage tanks for liquid asphalt and fuel, and preheaters for heavy fuel oil. CEI concrete mixing facilities are the most technologically advanced plants available on the market today. They produce superior mixes used in major projects such as mainline highway con- struction, airport runways, hydroelectric dams, ports, and skyscrapers. Additionally, CEI manufactures direct-contact water heaters for rapid heating of mix water used in cold-weather concrete production. CEI is an industry leader in asphalt-rubber blending systems. These systems mix ground rubber from recycled tires with liquid asphalt in a high-specification process that results in better, longer-lasting roads. CEI also manufactures asphalt emulsion plants and polymer blending systems. Since 1969, CEI has remained well-known for its asphalt heating and storage systems. These include both large-scale heating systems for bulk storage ter- minals, and smaller systems for hot mix asphalt plants. Left › Right: 1. Asphalt-Rubber mixing system meters and blends ground tire rubber with liquid asphalt in the first of a multi- stage process. 2. Asphalt emulsion plant utilizes multiple storage and mixing tanks, hot oil heater, and piping system to blend asphalt emulsions. 3. TSC™ twin-shaft continuous mixing concrete plant. Allows producers to mix ALL types of concrete with a single plant. 4. Heating and storage system for liquid asphalt used at a hot mix asphalt plant. This system includes two vertical asphalt storage tanks and a Jacketed Firebox hot oil heater. 5. Jacketed Firebox hot oil heater used primarily in hot mix asphalt plants. 6. Hot oil heating system used to heat several million gallons of liquid asphalt at a bulk storage terminal. 6 3 2014 ANNUAL REPORT n 11
