Recycling asphalt waste is a solution to the material shortage problem.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Managing and procuring materials in the construction industry<\/strong> is rapidly becoming a concern, due to material shortages and rising costs<\/strong>. For example, let\u2019s talk about asphalt: how many miles of new roads are being built, how many new projects need to be financed, and how many roads are under maintenance?<\/p>\n

Suffice to say, the European\u2019s road network has a total length of 86,992 miles (140.000km). Maintenance to repair potholes to prevent damaging vehicles is an enormous task. Building new roads and improving existing ones require plenty of materials.<\/p>\n

The tasks behind maintaining roads involve removing the old asphalt and laying down a new layer. Recycling old materials requires taking time to crush everything down to usable size.<\/p>\n

Now, the question is: how do you speed up this process?\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Austria, an earthmoving and logistics company owns a stationary plant to produce gravel and sand. Meanwhile, in their recycling centre, they collect and recycle C&D waste and asphalt from their construction sites and use it as recycled aggregate<\/strong>. To get this done, they installed a BF80.3 crusher bucket on their excavator, replacing their stationary crusher for the practicality of a moving unit. Allowing the company to produce material of different output sizes independently and simplifying their maintenance also reduces costs and saves time.<\/p>\n

\"\"If you consider that asphalt can be recycled repeatedly and that RAP is suitable for areas with heavy traffic because it makes roads more durable. <\/strong>Then you can also understand this next company\u2019s choice to use an MB-L160 crusher bucket on their Caterpillar 924G loader to process vast quantities of asphalt. If you were to run the asphalt slabs through a stationary crusher, it would jam the crusher and creates prolonged downtime. On the other hand, MB\u2019s jaw crusher makes everything easier and simpler.<\/p>\n

Another major problem with road infrastructure is road maintenance<\/strong>. How much damage can cracks or potholes create? To vehicles and can affect safety itself. For this reason, to shorten maintenance times and reduce costs, a road works company installed an MB Crusher MB-L200 crusher bucket on its Manitou telehandler, recycled the crushed asphalt, and reused it for road maintenance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Recycling asphalt provides the company, municipalities, and those who manage roads with several benefits:<\/strong> recycling materials means reducing purchasing and disposal costs<\/strong> and less dependency on a stationary production plant.<\/p>\n

Moreover, recycling crushed asphalt is good for the environment<\/strong> as it reduces greenhouse emissions and limits the usage of non-renewable natural resources like gravel, sand and stones.<\/p>\n

Crushing materials with MB\u2019s units is even easier than expected. As our Austrian customer reminds us, \u201cA great advantage is that the crusher bucket is straightforward to transport [\u2026], especially with hard-to-reach construction sites, road work in the mountains, or remote locations \u2013 and therefore, its versatility allows you to do more than what you typically could do: therefore, increasing the value of our work, of our construction sites while respecting the environment.\u201d\"\" <\/em><\/p>\n
