There are several options for investing into asphalt production:
Option 1
Voyager 120 asphalt plant
Type of the plant: portable
Type of mixing: nonstop
Unit capacity: 110tons per hour
Number of bins: 4
Timing for mixing: 90 seconds
Fuel type: diesel
Bitumen intake: 60 cubic meters
RAP content: up to 30%
The market is in cities with million plus citizens in Ukraine
Investment volumes: USD 1 500 000
Payback period: 2.5-3 years
Such production is beneficial for the following reasons:
Mounting and unmounting of such plants takes 4-5 days without hoists.
No concrete bedding is needed, as it may be placed over hard packed ground.
New technology silos enable to store hot mixtures for 7 days without harm to the quality
Double Barrel for drying helps to save up to 50% of fuel compared to major EU producers.
Option 2
Mounting of Green Pac system at asphalt plants taking their facilities in lease
The system enables to produce asphalt by bitumen foaming technique. Astec Inc. equipment injects water bubbles thinning out bitumen making mixtures at much lower temperatures of 115 – 135 Celsius.
Ukrainian asphalt plants may significantly reduce spending using such a technology.
Increased adhesion is obtained by foamed bitumen, which constitutes a thicker film around the stone materials, thereby increasing adhesion;
Emissions of pollutants are less into the air as mixture is made at a temperatures of 110 - 135 C, thus preventing the evaporation of light fractions of oil polluting air;
Reduction of oxidation of bitumen - a consequence of the fact that the light fractions of oil does not evaporate from the bitumen, increasing its lifespan in the coating;
Increased transportation distances - as temperature difference in the slow cooling of the mixture can increase a distance for transportation, and increase an area of activities for the plant.
Increased paving season - the slower cooling mixture allows laying in the cold, and therefore increase the working season;
Reduced fuel consumption - by reducing the temperature in the production of asphalt mixtures with foamed bitumen to 30-50 C, consumption of fuel used is less (natural gas - by 21%, diesel fuel - by 17%).
Investment needs: from USD 50 000 per unit
Payback period: 0.5 – 1.5 years
Option 3
Operating asphalt plant is for sale in Kyiv grasping 15% of the city market.
Buy out price: USD 15 000 000
