Astec, Inc. continues to be a world leader in Hot and Warm Mix Asphalt (HMA/WMA) equipment technology. Astec offers a complete line of portable, relocatable and stationary asphalt plant equipment produced under the Astec and the Dillman brands. In addition, Astec also manufactures soil remedia- tion equipment and wood pellet processing plants. In 2014, Astec debuted the Double Barrel XHR, which features enhancements to the signature Double Barrel drum that allow use of up to 65% RAP. It ful- fills a need for those producers who already run high percentages of RAP and in whose market the trend toward running more recycle is expected to continue. ASTEC also introduced the Voyager 120 plant. Produced at the Dillman facility in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, the Voyager 120 rounds out the highly portable side of the plant lineup. Unique for a plant in this class is the ability to run up to 30% RAP. Response from the industry has been extremely positive. To date, Voyager 120 plants have been sold onto three continents and requests for quotes on the plant are steadily coming in from the field. Astec maintains a strong market share based in large part on a solid reputation for quality and service. Astec is optimistic about future prospects and plans to continue to position itself to take full advantage of opportunities both domestically and abroad. Astec continues to grow and maintain customer loyalty through innovative equipment designs, industry leading customer service and state-of-the-art technical education. Left › Right: 1.
