Among the equipment and new technologies to be displayed at CONEXPO-CON/AGG next month, Astec Industries, Chattanooga, will offer information on the Astec IntelliPac™ aggregate moisture system, which provides visibility into virgin aggregate—and now RAP—moisture levels. At the heart of the system is its carefully vetted moisture measurement methods.
One of the standout features of the system, according to the manufacturer, is its comprehensive data logging functionality. The system records virgin aggregate composite moisture levels, enabling operators to track and analyze historical trends. This historical data serves as a valuable resource for optimizing processes and making informed decisions to enhance overall efficiency.
The real-time moisture values offered by the IntelliPac Moisture System are integrated into the plant control system, empowering operators to make adjustments on-the-fly. This level of visibility into virgin aggregate moisture allows for more precise addition of liquid asphalt cement. Additionally, operators can fine-tune burner operations based on real-time moisture levels. Stop by booth C30236 in the central hall to see the display and discuss the system with Astec personnel…
