How an Asphalt Plant Works 

That's the cleanest plant I have ever seen and I have loaded out of alot of different plants

Some of the plants we pick up from in the PNW look like junk yards compared to this plant. Great job !!

This narrator is the Hank Hill of asphalt. What a nicely made video.

Don't know how this video ended up in my feed, but glad it did.

Very insightful on a multimillion dollar operation! I enjoyed this video while sitting on the toilet. 😂

Probably the most beautiful Asphalt plant I've ever seen ...:)...Never thought I'd say that about an asphalt plant...Whoever set it up knew EXACTLY how to do it right!

What a clean operation.

#1 skill for plant operator, pushing the right silo button to not drop asphalt on the trucks hood.

Cleanest looking asphalt plant I have ever seen. Impressive.

Nice plant. What a clean and organize plant

Excellent narrator on this video , relaxed delivery , no information overload, but clearly explained all relevant points

Not sure why this is in my recommendations, but you earned my like.

Amazing plant. Salute 🫡 and Respect ✊🏽

Thanks for the video very informative ! I've always wanted to tour an asphalt plant now I've seen this video lot of questions answered ! Thank you very much !

Very interesting. Thanks for posting this. Have a nice day now.

There are three heavenly smells on this planet: Freshly baked bread, Freshly ground coffee and hot asphalt.

The more you know…. So impressed at how clean the entire plant looks.

I love asphalt!!! Longest job I’ve ever had and I love it.

Great video, great explanations, great footage. You must all take a great amount of pride in your place of employment, as I see it is clean, organized, modern, visually appealing, and safe. Very, very cool. 3 thumbs up!

Thank you for providing this video! Asphalt is one of those modern wonders we give little thought to. It looks like you have a very tight and tidy operation. As a retired industrial mechanic I always looked first at how clean and squared awan a outfit was before deciding if I might want to work at a company, Yours is one I would of been interested in.

I have never seen an asphalt plant this clean

That is one hell of a plant you have there.!!!

Nice plant. What a clean and organize plant. Beautiful drone work. Exceptional plant. Informative narration. Great video. Thank you..

Work for my city at the plant. I'm a materials tester. I do Marshals, proctor, unit weights, specific gravity, hydrometer as well the mix design for the summer season. Love my job.

Thanks for that great explanation of the plant , and I have to say what a great looking facility you have , clean, tidy , organized and landscaped it looks great well done

A very good explanation how real things that everyone uses and how they are made. Duval looks like a good well organized operation no doubt in business for a long time.

That was absolutely fascinating! I had no idea how the process worked. Thanks for such a well-produced and informative video.

First class operation!! These folks were knocking on doors in 2009!

Beautiful drone work. Exceptional plant. Informative narration. Great video. Thank you.

That's the neatest/cleanest mix plant I've ever seen. The Willey Wonka factory of asphalt... ))

I managed to get a tour of the Briggs amasco plant in Dundee Scotland years ago and for a much younger self it was fascinating just as this video is now so thank you for making this video.👍

Loved the green facade at the entrance hiding the horror within ?

I've worked on interstate 95 a few summers back in what's always amazing is how those hoppers can fill The payload of any dump truck within 150 lb of its registered payload

Wow! That was a lot more interesting than I expected, and I expected it to be interesting.

That plant looked like a resort! Lot nicer than the shitholes we have in Illinois, hell this plant dumps in the trucks instead of the cab, hood, or miss the truck completely!

Great presentation. That drone pilot is pretty skillful too. I was waiting for the sparks from the high tension power line at the end, but alas...

A tidy, well organised plant, with a good explanation - thank you.

Thanks for this. I have been curious for a long time, since I have noticed that the quality of materials varies considerably.

You know what they say guys, it’s black gold

Very informative; thanks for producing such a high-quality video.

WOW, Very Impressive video and process. Thanks! 👍

I work atca rock quarry and we are in the middle of batching out an order for an asphalt plant. We have been crushing all winter and spring for this one order. The trucks are picking it up now and some days they haul 3/4 clean or 1/2 clean some days it's the man sand or 1/2 minus every once in a while they will haul the 3/8 minus. Knowing how it's made into asphalt is fascinating

Good video! Basically just wanted to see all of the different pieces of this process that I and others built and welded from your main silos on aggregate bins and conveyor systems and dust collection systems, we put alot of work into these builds to your control house, was greatfull to see the it all in operational use! Much appreciated!! Mwallace

Thanks for a well done video, interesting plant - HA - except for the 'rock concert' at the end. Have a safe and nice day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.

Great video. Very informative, clear explanation. Thanks

Delivered approximately ten thousand gallons of propane to a plant while it was running. Just barely moved the gauge because the plant used so much fuel.

Ditto - Immaculate compared to many I have seen.

wonderful video you did a great job explaining the process and with the aerial photos very educational.

Very interesting video. Excellent drone work!

I haul Asphalt near Kansas City and I absolutely love my job thanks for sharing this video I have always wondered how asphalt plants ran especially the dust collection system👍

Even the asphalt plant uses concrete for the trucks to drive on.

So I now know how asphalt is made. Informative video.

Incredible and well oganized. All the blessings!

Very interesting. Thanks for post.

looks like a top notch operation! Very well done!

Your plant is clean and the frontage is perfect. Here it is very different. Dusty, smelly, if it not covered in tar. It is covered in rust. I think the last time it was painted is when the plant was built.

Informative and professionally presented video. Outstanding work. And what a spotless facility!

Do you know why an asphalt mix without any RAP in it is called a virgin mix? It has not been laid before.

Idk why this is in my recommended, but I happen to be escorting one of those rotating dryers. These things are massive and the frame it sits on is the trailer used to haul it. These look like they were manufactured by Astec in Chattanooga.

LOL, I knew from just the beginning drone shot that it was a nice plant. I worked at an asphalt plant 25 years ago, and it was a claptrap POS. At any one time, there were 20 things that needed to be fixed, and 5 potential things ready to go wrong without warning. That was a batch plant, as opposed to a drum plant like this one.

Top notch plant and explanation. Thanks

I will always be there for you when you fall" - Asphalt

Totally cool!

Thank you for the video, as a concrete plant dispatcher/operator I've wondered how the rival material plants worked :D

Very nice video. Thank you. Looks like an awfully expensive investment to buy and operate.

REALLY nice drone work

Thanks for the informative video. From this video, I can have wide knowledge of how new asphalt is produced and brought by the trucks to working sites where the new-produced asphalt will be paved onto roads to make the roads look like they are newly-made. My father tells me that this asphalt is actually made from decomposing bodies of dead animals. Upon hearing what my father has told me, I think this is true but after watching this video, I finally realsie what my father says is not true.

Excellent video!

Cool video, and nice drone work!

Very nice plant, and well-groomed! I just retired from Las Vegas Paving Corp myself of 26 years. Looks like Duval uses only small dumps. Wondering does Duval use Bellies, Live buttons, or even load up Doubles bellies? All our plants can handle those types of trucks and are our primary delivery methods, plus small dumps for the tight areas. Even our mobile plants can take these trucks. Thanks for a cool look at your company's operation!

That is one beautiful plant.

This is educational.. done very well.

Wow great video!! Great to see a smart, modern and clean organized asphalt company!!! You must have a lot of maintenance there?!

thank you for this video

Love that American flag at the asphalt plant☆Fossil fuels= gifts from PROVIDENCE☆

If you don't know what RAP is it is rock or pavement that has been scrapped up or blasted from demolition it is used to shore up cliffs and it is recycled to form new roads.

Well done, fascinating

Very nice video! And a wonderful plant this must be in a big city. A lot of mix coming from that site.

The complexity in the dryer is a surprise but it makes sense on reflection.

Interesting video

Great video! I am an IT Systems Administrator that supports a couple dozen asphalt plants and a handful of aggregate plants. This will really help me out when I am trying to train other IT team member on what we are actually doing with the technology we support. I like the WEM blending controls. Looks like a retrofit from an older Gencor system. Do you use their loadout as well?

I spent my 12th summer holding a hot hose, while the owner sprayed hot asphalt over the shovel-spread gravel, in layers of smaller and smaller stone.

Clicked on this by pure accidenti yay rocks and tar mixed yayyyyyy so happy now

I remember seeing this vid a while back. You can see the reflection of the drone in the drying tank on the right at 03:12

Interesting, looks like theres a lot of work done to reuse the dust and fine materials filtered out. Of what importance are they to the process specifically?

Great video I operate a gencor drum plant amazing stuff it truly is before I worked in this field I would of never guessed all that goes into making blacktop

First I watch a dude sanding cow hooves, then a girl with a pellet gun shooting iguanas, and now I am watching how an asphalt plant works

Cool....almost like Plastics 👍👍

Pretty interesting, my Father was a paving contractor in the late sixties and seventies. I remember sitting in his dump truck as a young person, and absolutely cringing because the dryer was close enough to watch the flame and the sound was tremendous. Back in those days the mixing was done in the plant mixer. A part of the plant structure itself. I also helped shovel a whole lot of it. It's amazing how a piece of gravel know bigger than a pencil eraser could make one come out of your boot in seconds. Do you still use AC8 as a binder?

Kenya needs to have this kind of plant to process asphalt ingredients and to properly proprtion the aggregate ratio.

5:38 I can't believe there are no posts to prevent trucks from hitting the supports for the pipes carrying binder.

In Dundee Scotland which is a short run from where I live is a company called Briggs amasco and they’ve been there for decades and I used to like driving past the place wondering how tarmacadam is created

Inmates wanna own restaurants someday and neighborhood stands and online quizzes.

Thanks.

This company has the most amazing name ever I may be slightly biased though since it's my last name LOL

Excellent job, Can i ask how much is the production rate of this asphalt plant?

I love the smell of.asphalt

Once an asphalt truck, always an asphalt truck lol

Worked for Lane Corp for 22 yrs, in the northeast US. The enjoyment level made it not work. Did it all from shoveling belt lines to plant operator/ repair. Miss the smell of tri axles with fresh mix in them!
