• Rational and cost-saving processing of asphalt 
• No unnecessary spreading of the mix by hand through precisely metered discharge by means of worm conveyors. 
• Reduced wage costs due to easier processing and considerably reduced laying times
•  Asphalt can be maintained at the required placement temperature for a long time without any temperature losses 
• No complaints as no cooled asphalt is placed 
• No waste due to cooled mix 
• No more cost-intensive part loads 
• Longer road construction season 
• No precompaction of the asphalt

The various advantages of the Asphalt-Thermo-Containers result in much faster amortisation of the investments made and considerable competitive advantages! 

The Asphalt-Thermo-Container is equipped with two separate heating chambers, each of which is heated with an environmentally friendly propane gas burner and so maintain the asphalt at the necessary working temperature. The heating chambers have additional mineral wool insulation in order to prevent the asphalt from cooling. The design of the chambers enables optimum heat distribution and thus energy-saving deployment. Each model in the ATC 25 series is equipped with a gas cylinder bracket for 11kg cylinders. From the ATC 50 size models, holders for two 33kg on board gas cylinders are provided, which avoid frequent cylinder changing. On request all containers can also be equipped with gas tanks for filling at propane gas fuel filling stations. In addition, electrical heating is available as an optional extra, e.g. for overnight storage.

The gas burners are controlled by thermostats and only heat if the temperature falls below a previously set value, the laying temperature you require. The heating is electronically ignited.

ATC Asphalt-Thermo-Container are produced in 10 basic sizes, with a capacity from 1.25 to 20 t as a standard. The ATC 50, 75 and 100 model series are also available as two-chamber systems, with which 2 different types of mix can be simultaneously transported to site and laid. The two-chamber systems are each equipped with 2 main worm conveyors and can be fitted with an external worm conveyor for spreading the material, as can all single chamber systems too. As a standard, these external conveyors then have a sliding system with which the external worm conveyor can be operated at both chambers as an option. A worm conveyor in the floor of the V-shaped internal container conveys the material from the back of the container: here the material passes through a rotating V2A chute and is therefore easy to spread. The worm is hydraulically driven; this either occurs using the truck’s hydraulics or alternatively with its own hydraulics, available as an extra. All moving parts are integrated in the hydraulic system – this avoids cost-intensive manual work to a large extent.
