Abstract: The present disclosure provides an improved system and process for the production of Hot Mix Asphalt containing High Recycle/Reclaimed Asphalt. Unlike conventional processing systems, the presently disclosed system utilizes a combination of dryer design and cyclone and wet scrubber technology to remove dust, particulate matter and oil residue from hot gas emissions produced during the process and recycles it back into the system.
Abstract: A blade configured for use in a blending apparatus includes a body portion and a pair of wing portions extending from the body portion. At least a leading edge of the blade is forged to increase a hardness property. The leading edge may have a minimum thickness that provides a relatively blunt leading edge. The wing portions of the blade may be formed after forging the blade.

Abstract: One or more apparatuses for removing hydrocarbons and contaminates are provided. The apparatus for removing hydrocarbons and contaminates can include a hopper in communication with a material moving device. The material moving device can be at least partially disposed within a trough. An injection port can be disposed in the trough. A separation tank can be communication with the material moving device, and the separation tank can be in fluid communication with a scalper, a shaker screen, a screen, a hydrocyclone, a dewatering centrifuge, a clarifying tank, or combinations thereof.
Abstract: A viscous liquid stirring device comprising a first rotary shaft and a second rotary shaft which are arranged in parallel to each other in the horizontal plane in the vessel. The rotary shafts have a plurality of rotors thereon and are rotated at the same speed and in the same direction that the upper face of the first rotary shaft moves away from the second rotary shaft. A viscous liquid inlet portion is formed on the top portion of the inner wall of the end plate of the vessel.
