Bauma 2022 – Innovations: Technologies for Asphalt Production

Benninghoven offers technologies for the optimization of energy usage, emissions, and efficiency in asphalt production

At Bauma 2022, Benninghoven will be showing how operators of asphalt mixing plants can meet current and future challenges. In the spotlight, ways of increasing efficiency and reducing harmful emissions. When it comes to CO₂ und Ctot (total carbon), asphalt mixing plants offer enormous potential for the reduction of these emissions.

At Benninghoven, the approach to asphalt production consists of several key components. These are: the re-use of asphalt, dry storage of virgin mineral and RAP, the use of warm mix asphalt (WMA), the electrification of bitumen tanks use of temperature-reduced asphalt, electrification of bitumen tanks and the use of renewable energies or alternative fuels – the fuels of the future.

Reduction of CO2 Emissions

Benninghoven solutions promote efficient energy utilization and can help reduce CO₂ emissions. Depending on the specific application, it is possible to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 54% per year.

Hot and Cold Recycling Feed Systems

Benninghoven offers a wide range of “hot and cold” RAP feed systems for the re-use of asphalt pavement material removed, for instance, by Wirtgen cold milling machines. The RAP systems can also be retrofitted to existing asphalt mixing plants.

Roofed facilities for dry storage

Roofed facilities for dry storage of virgin mineral and RAP save fuel during the material drying and heating process, which in turn reduces the associated CO₂ emissions.

Major Energy-Saving Potential

Warm mix asphalt (WMA) offers a high potential for saving energy and reducing CO₂ emissions: the key role here is played by the production process, i.e. in a Benninghoven asphalt mixing plant with the appropriate technologies.

Electric Tank Heating

Benninghoven electrically heated tanks with highly effective insulation make bitumen storage efficient and emission-free at the point of storage.

Use of renewable fuels

Already using renewable fuels today: Benninghoven EVO JET burners can also be fuelled with biomass-to-liquid or wood dust.
