Discover the Weak Link - At Stansteel®,
our asphalt experts and Hotmix Doctors ® use the
scientific method, years of asphalt plant

experience
and just trained veteran skill and common sense to make
the proper diagnosis of your plant. A recent example:
A customer could not achieve the designed ton per hour
on their plant and had been experimenting with several
expensive fixes. After one of our field technicians
evaluated the components, it was discovered that an
original manufacturer had incorrectly shipped the wrong
size asphalt pump and meter that could not produce the
gallons per minute demanded by the drum mixer plant.
After fixing this problem, a secondary condition was
the inability of the slat conveyor to convey the added
tons per hour. The solution was to re-engineer to a
heavier duty chain and slats with a replaced gear box
and motor for the head shaft drive.
