1. ASTEC'S V-PACK™ STACK TEM PER A TURE CONTROL SYSTEM extends the range of mixes that can be produced without requiring that the flights be adjusted. The system's "v-flights," unique drum flights with a deep v-shape, and its use of variable frequency drives (VFDs), which provide control of the drum rotational speed, are keys to the control system managing an asphalt plant's exhaust gas temperature and increasing overall efficiency. The Stack Temperature Control System automatically controls exhaust gas tem- perature across a range of mix types and operating conditions by making drum speed changes. The system keeps bag- house temperature relatively stable as mix temperature changes and even as mix types change from hot mix to warm mix, from virgin to high RAP, and from dense graded to open graded mixes. These kinds of production changes would cause baghouse temperature changes of over 100° F (38° C) without the V-Pack Stack Temperature Control System. 2. THE CARLSON CP 75 ASPHALT PAVER with 74hp @ 2600rpm and a 95 amp alternator, the CP75's powerplant provides vastly better fuel economy than previous engines while delivering excep- tional torque and power. With the customer in mind, the one piece hood design allows easy access to the engine compartment for maintenance. The 10kw belt-driven generator provides fast screed heating and power for additional accessories needed for specific jobs. Closed center hydraulics are installed for responsive and fuel effi - cient power at the operator's command. 3. CEI's CALIBRATED CONCRETE PLANT is designed and built by utilizing Calibrated-Concrete™ processes, serpen- tine twin shaft mixers, and Pro-Flo™ liquid proportioning. These plants set a new stan- dard, giving contractors enhanced tools to produce consistent, formidably durable concrete for pavements and structures. Additionally, CEI has introduced conven- tional batch concrete plants with innovative features that are unique to the concrete industry. Beginning with the TSB™ , a portable RCC Batch mixer, CEI is incorporating an in-house designed and built twin shaft batch mixer in new batch plants. Nine models of concrete plants, one for virtually every concrete industry application, are offered reflecting CEI's commitment to innovation and depend- able field support. 4. THE DILLMAN VOYAGER 120 PORTABLE ASPHALT PLANT offers a compact, highly portable design, unique for a plant in this class, with the ability to run up to 30% RAP. In addition, it is backed by the best service support in the industry. The Voyager 120 is built around a counter flow drum featuring v-flights. The v-flights provide greater uniformity of the aggre- gate veil during the drying process, which results in better heat transfer, a reduction of fuel use and increased productivity. To enhance portability, a hydraulically driven swing out drag and batcher can be set and ready to go in about 10 min- utes. Other features include a reverse pulse baghouse, a controls cab with fully automated PLC controls, gravity take-up with direct drive, air ride suspension and up to five old feed bins and two RAP bins. 5. GEFCO 20K WATER AND NATURAL GAS DRILLING RIG features 20,000 lbs of pullback and utilizes a rack and pinion feed system. It can drill with mud or air for versatility in a variety of drilling conditions. It will work well in tight residential settings for water wells, while boasting enough speed and capability for more intensive geothermal projects which might require 800 to 1,000 feet of drilling per day. 6. THE KPI-JCI GT&FT SCREENING AND CRUSHING PLANTS The GT206 screening plant and the GT440 jaw crush- ing plant are all part of the Global Track™ family. The Global Track Series is engi- neered for contractors and producers new to the landscape, recycle, trucking and demolition industries. Global Track equipment features the same quarry- duty, proven components as the Fast INVESTING IN NEW PRODUCTS, TECHNOLOGIES AND MARKETS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 6 n ASTEC INDUSTRIES, INC.
