First European sale of the Ciber iNOVA 2000 asphalt plant

Ciber’s wheel-mounted continuous asphalt mixing plant produces high-quality asphalt mix while keeping operating costs low.

Following the brand’s success in establishing itself as a market leader in Latin America and Africa, demand for the Ciber iNOVA 2000 is now also strong in Australia and New Zealand. The sale of a plant to the UK marks an important step in establishing Ciber, a Brazilian company in the Wirtgen Group, on the European market.

The purchaser of the trailer-mounted iNOVA 2000 asphalt mixing plant, which offers contractors greater flexibility at the jobsite while making efficient use of resources, is the UK company B.P. Mitchell Ltd. The successful transaction is the result of close international collaboration between Wirtgen Group UK subsidiary Wirtgen Limited, Benninghoven, and Ciber.

Years of successful collaboration with the Wirtgen Group

B.P. Mitchell, based in Welwyn Garden City, near London, has been supplying materials to the construction industry for over 25 years and also specializes in the production of high-quality recycled aggregates. B.P. Mitchell has worked closely with Wirtgen Limited for a number of years, putting a range of Kleemann crushing and screening plants to profitable use. For B.P. Mitchell, acquisition of the Ciber asphalt mixing plant marks a first step toward expanding its portfolio and taking on future road construction projects.

Strong first impression

The iNOVA 2000 made its European debut on the Wirtgen Group stand of the Bauma 2022 trade fair in Munich. It was here that it caught the eye of Brendan Mitchell, owner and founder of B.P. Mitchell. Ciber may not be a well-known brand in the UK, but Mitchell was quickly impressed by the plant’s technical capabilities.

Fixed site, but still flexible

Like most asphalt mixing plants in the UK, the iNOVA 2000 supplied to B.P. Mitchell is operated at a permanent site. As a rule, projects in the UK are small to medium-sized. Whether for airports, roads in new residential developments, or rehabilitation work on sections of motorway and other high-speed roads, a local supply of asphalt is therefore essential. Even so, having a mobile facility was an important consideration for the customer. Although most of the asphalt required for road construction projects is supplied by cement works and quarries with stationary asphalt mixing plants, a mobile plant offers greater flexibility and a competitive advantage, particularly for temporary projects.

With the new Ciber iNOVA 2000 plant, Brendan Mitchell is looking to establish his company as a reliable source of high-quality materials, supplying them quickly and directly to customers.

iNOVA meets key jobsite requirements

The iNOVA 2000 produces asphalt efficiently and can help reduce carbon emissions. By using reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), the INOVA 2000 meets the requirements of UK jobsites while reducing transportation costs and fuel consumption and optimising the combustion process.

Projected investment: B.P. Mitchell is already planning further capital expenditure to enlarge the plant with the addition of storage silos for ready-mixed asphalt and aggregates.

Comprehensive service and support

With its team of highly experienced partners, Wirtgen Limited is able to guarantee fast and reliable customer service:

  • On-site training for the customer’s employees
  • Support from Wirtgen and Benninghoven, drawing on their many years of experience in asphalt production
  • Remote maintenance and support from Ciber
  • Comprehensive spare-parts service, with the most important spares kept in stock
  • Regular on-site plant inspections and maintenance

Ciber’s asphalt mixing plants are line with the corporate vision of the Wirtgen Group: greater efficiency, enhanced safety, and an optimal use of resources. Automated control of the production parameters helps reduce fuel consumption, emissions, and material waste.

Thanks to Ciber’s recycling system, reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) can be reused while maintaining high quality and also reducing operating costs. These features help minimize the impact of road construction while simultaneously delivering a fast return on investment. The plant can be retrofitted, meaning that B.P. Mitchell can continually expand its technical capabilities and offer the processes required to meet new market requirements as they arise.
