Shengmao 60 TPH Drum Mix Asphalt Plant Successfully Commissioned in Khabarovsk, Russia

Shengmao Machinery has successfully delivered, erected, and commissioned a 60 TPH Continuous Drum Mix Asphalt Plant in the city of Khabarovsk, Russia.

This project stands as a testament to the strong trust global contractors place in Shengmao Machinery: the client—a first-time buyer of asphalt production equipment—finalized their procurement directly after comprehensive online technical consultations, without conducting an in-person factory audit in China. To guarantee flawless project execution, Shengmao dispatched a senior service technician with over 20 years of asphalt plant installation experience to Khabarovsk. In just two weeks, the plant completed civil verification, mechanical assembly, electrical wiring, calibration, and successfully produced its first batch of premium hot-mix asphalt (HMA) for local rural road construction.

1. Project Overview at a Glance

2. Client Background & Project Challenges

The client is a regional road construction enterprise based in Khabarovsk, dedicated to upgrading secondary rural routes and connecting outlying townships across Khabarovsk Krai.

As a first-time investor in an asphalt mixing station, the client faced several key challenges:

Remote Procurement Without Factory Audit: Unable to travel to China due to busy local project schedules, the client required transparent technical verification, detailed 3D site layout drawings, and full assurance of equipment reliability.

Short Construction Season in the Russian Far East: With Khabarovsk's continental subarctic climate and long, freezing winters, the summer/autumn road paving window is brief. Any installation delay would push paving operations into the next calendar year.

First-Time Operator Learning Curve: While the client's team had extensive paving experience with rollers and asphalt pavers, they had never operated or maintained a complete asphalt mixing plant.

Reliable Performance Under Variable Temperatures: The equipment needed to operate reliably despite wide day-night temperature swings, ensuring fast aggregate heating and consistent asphalt discharge temperatures (140°C–160°C).

3. Why the Client Placed Direct Trust in Shengmao Machinery?

Despite having no prior history with Shengmao Machinery and without visiting China in person, the client finalized the purchase based on:

Transparent Technical Consultation: Shengmao provided comprehensive 3D layout designs, component datasheets, video demonstrations, and cold-weather adaptations within 24 hours of the initial inquiry.

Cold-Climate Proven Engineering: Shengmao’s equipment incorporates cold-resistant hydraulic lines, well-insulated bitumen piping, and heavy structural steel proven in harsh environments across Eastern Europe and Northern Asia.

On-Site Turnkey Support Guarantee: Shengmao committed to deploying a senior installation master on-site to handle complete mechanical erection, system debugging, and comprehensive operator training.

4. Technical Solution & Key Plant Features

1). High-Efficiency Continuous Drying & Mixing Drum

Combines drying and mixing zones within a single robust drum, minimizing heat loss and reducing overall site footprint.

Precision-engineered internal lifter flights create a dense, uniform aggregate curtain that maximizes heat transfer from the burner flame.

High-temperature-resistant wear plates along the mixing section guarantee long service life and thorough bitumen coating.

2). Multi-Bin Cold Aggregate Metering System

4-bin cold feeder enables accurate proportional blending of multiple stone sizes and sand fractions.

Each hopper is equipped with an independent variable-frequency belt feeder, ensuring smooth, steady raw material flow into the drum.

3). Energy-Saving High-Performance Burner

Specially tuned for rapid ignition and complete fuel combustion, even during chilly morning startups in Khabarovsk.

Automatic flame monitoring and temperature safety interlocking prevent overheating while lowering daily fuel consumption.

4). Direct-Heating Thermal Oil Bitumen Tank

Fast-heating coil system brings bitumen to working temperature (130°C–160°C) with minimal thermal loss.

High-precision bitumen injection pump interlocked with aggregate feed rate ensures precise asphalt-to-stone ratios.

5). Eco-Friendly Dual-Stage Dust Filtration

Primary cyclone collector captures coarse dust and recycles it back into the mix.

Secondary water-scrubber eliminates fine particulate matter, complying with local environmental regulations.

5. On-Site Deployment: 20-Year Veteran Engineer in Action

To guarantee a smooth launch for this first-time buyer, Shengmao Machinery dispatched a senior installation supervisor with over 20 years of hands-on field experience in asphalt plant assembly.

The 14-Day Fast-Track Commissioning Journey:

Days 1–4 (Civil Verification & Structural Erection): Inspected the concrete foundation and guided the crane lifting of the cold feed bins, drying drum, bitumen tank, and dust collection tower with millimeter precision.

Days 5–8 (Mechanical Alignment & Electrical Wiring): Completed drive alignments, burner mounting, thermal oil piping connections, and electrical cabling inside the control cabin.

Days 9–11 (Cold Dry-Run & Sensor Calibration): Conducted dry testing of all electric motors, calibrated aggregate weighing belts, and verified temperature sensor feedback.

Days 12–13 (Hot Trial Run & Bitumen Injection Tuning): Fired the burner, heated the aggregates, and calibrated the asphalt pump flow rate to match exact rural asphalt paving recipe standards.

Day 14 (Successful First Batch & Continuous Paving): The plant successfully discharged its first batch of high-temperature hot-mix asphalt (HMA), immediately loaded onto dump trucks and delivered to the nearby rural road paving site.

Comprehensive Operator Training: Provided hands-on training to the Russian crew, covering daily startup checklists, burner safety protocols, lubrication routines, and emergency troubleshooting.
