Once mounted and installed, this asphalt mixing plant will be capable of producing up to 320tns of bitumen per hour. Paolo Federici (Managing Director at Fortune International Transport) elaborates; "Over 3,400 similar asphalt mixing plants (produced in Italy) have been installed across the globe with all equipped with the latest generation of core components (all of which are manufactured in Switzerland) including the screens, mixers, filters, dryer drums and burners". Once completed, the mounted plant will resemble the examples pictured below.
