Abstract: An apparatus for preparing a hot mix including aggregate and bitumen includes a cylindrical vessel incorporating a mixing chamber having a rotating paddle assembly mixing aggregate and bitumen. A heating chamber is below the mixing chamber, separated by a dome shaped separating element, the center of which is above its periphery. The heating chamber's lower part has a diameter less than that of its upper part. A blower forces air into the lower part through a horizontal passage with a burner heating the air. The axis of the passage is offset from the vertical axis of the heating chamber. The heated air spirals upwardly and outwardly through the lower and upper parts of the heating chamber, traversing the separating element before exiting through apertures about the periphery of the separating element. The mix is heated by the heat transferred from the air as it passes over the separating element.
