The tar mixing plant, also known as an asphalt mixing plant or asphalt batch mix plant, is a specialized equipment utilized in road construction. Its main function is to combine aggregates and bitumen or tar at temperatures ranging from 120℃ to 220℃, resulting in asphalt mixtures. These mixtures find extensive usage in various applications such as road paving, highway construction, parking lot surfacing, and other asphalt-based surfaces. AIMIX, a renowned manufacturer, has successfully produced and supplied a wide range of tar mixing plants to clients worldwide. Below, we explore the diverse applications of this equipment.
Different Application Fields of Tar Mixing Plants
Since 2010, AIMIX has exported over 60 units of tar mixing plants to many countries all over the world, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Uzbekistan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Russia, Paraguay, Algeria, Brazil, etc. Here are the work pictures and videos taken by clients on-site.
Tar Batch Mix Plant and Continuous Mix Plant for Choices
According to the mixing mode, there are two different mixing methods, including batch mix type and continuous mix type. Based on this division method, AIMIX also has manufactured different kinds of asphalt plants for sale. You can check the details of each one below.
Tar Batch Mix Plant
According to the mobility, there are stationary tar mixing plants – ALQ series and mobile asphalt plant for sale – ALYQ series. In addition, to meet clients’ special construction demands and their budget, AIMIX also has manufactured simple batch mix type – ALYJ series. Here are the main features of each type as follows:
ALQ series – medium and high-grade road construction
- ALQ series tar mixing plant can produce high-quality mixture, and can precisely control the ratio and mixing process to ensure that the performance of the asphalt mixture meets the requirements.
- Therefore, it is generally used for medium and high grade road construction, like highway, freeway, urban expressway, urban arterial road, and state road.
- There are wide capacity ranges of stationary asphalt mixing plants for selection, from 40 t/h to 320 t/h. Among them, ALQ80, ALQ120, and ALQ160 are the clients’ primary choices for their construction.
ALQ80
ALQ120
ALQ160
ALYQ series – Medium and low grade road construction
- It has the same structure as the stationary tar mixing plant. The differences lie in the mobile tires mounted on the main components to realize quick assembly and easy transportation.
- In general, it is used for road construction with small traffic volume and low design standards and in temporary or remote areas, like country roads, rural roads, urban secondary road, internal roads in industrial parks, logistics centers and business districts, etc.
- There are different models for choices: ALYQ60, ALYQ80, ALYQ100, ALYQ120, and ALYQ160. Choose one according to the scale of road construction.
ALYJ series – Low grade road construction
- It is small and simple equipment used to produce asphalt mixture. It has a low capacity ranging from 10 t/h to 80 t/h.
- It is usually characterized by portability and easy operation and can be moved and installed flexibly on the construction site. It is suitable for temporary or small-scale road construction, especially in remote areas or where resources are limited.
Continuous Tar Mixing Plant
ALT series – Low grade road construction
- In AIMIX, we mainly supplied asphalt drum mix plants – ALT series that can produce asphalt mixture continuously. There are four types of capacities for choices: 20 t/h, 40 t/h, 60 t/h, and 80 t/h.
- It is applied for low-grade road construction including urban secondary arterial roads, county roads, country roads, and rural roads. Also, the drum mix plant is frequently used for small or temporary construction projects, such as road repairs, sidewalk construction, temporary parking lots, etc.

Main Information You Should Provide Before We Recommending the Suitable Model
- 1. Road construction scale and level: low, medium or high grade
- 2. Expected production capacity: required asphalt mix production per hour or per day
- 3. Construction time and period: when to use it because of longer installation and commissioning time of tar mixing plant
- 4. Transportation and movement requirements: stationary type or mobile type
- 5. Asphalt mixture quality requirements: asphalt mix, stability, shear strength, durability
- 6. Budget and cost considerations: high or low budgets
- 7. Local regulations and requirements: dust removal systems selection to comply with relevant regulations and requirements
Key Components of Tar Mixing Plant
As a large-size road construction equipment, it is composed of various components. Here I have listed the key components of the tar hot mix asphalt plant as follows:
Cold Aggregate Feeder: It stores and supplies the different types and sizes of aggregates to be used in the asphalt mix. In general, it includes multiple bins or hoppers for storing and sorting the aggregates, like 4 bins, 5 bins, and 6 bins.
Drying Drum: The drying drum is where the aggregates are heated and dried. It removes moisture from the aggregates, ensuring optimal mixing with the asphalt mixture.
Mixing Unit: The mixing unit is responsible for blending the dried aggregates with the tar. It ensures a homogeneous mixture with consistent quality and performance.
Asphalt tanks: The tanks store the bitumen or tar that will be mixed with the aggregates. They are designed to maintain the temperature of the bitumen and facilitate its controlled flow into the mixing unit.
Dust Collector System: Asphalt production generates dust and other airborne particles. There are two types of dust collectors for choice: bag dust removal and water dust removal.
Electric control room: The control system is the central command unit of the hot asphalt mixing plant. It allows operators to monitor and control various parameters, such as aggregate flow, temperature, and mixing ratios, to ensure efficient and precise operation.
Factors Affecting The Tar Mixing Plant Price
The clients need to consider a lot of factors that could affect the price of tar mixing plants. Here I have listed some factors, including but not limited to the following aspects:
Capacity
Mixing plants with different capacities have different production capacities and working efficiencies. so the prices will also vary. Generally speaking, the price of tar mixing plants with larger capacities will be relatively higher.
Technical configuration and quality
The technical configuration and quality level of the tar mixing plant will also affect the price. More advanced technology configurations and high-quality manufacturing materials will improve the performance and life of the bitumen mixing plant, which will have an impact on the price.
Additional equipment and customization needs
If the customer has additional customization needs or needs specific additional equipment, the price of the asphalt mixing plant would be higher. For example, in addition to the basic components, it is necessary to add environmental protection equipment, metering systems, conveying equipment, etc., which may increase the total cost of the equipment.
Brands and Manufacturers
Tar mixing plant prices may vary between different brands and manufacturers. Well-known asphalt plant manufacturers and brands with good reputations usually price their products higher. Otherwise, the price would be a little cheaper. AIMIX, as one of the reliable tar mixing plant manufacturers, has provided reasonable prices for clients. Check the price ranges below:
Tar Mixing Plant Price Ranges in AIMIX Manufacturer
- ALQ series: $220,000 – $1220,000
