Description:
The project consists of the production of a new evolved plant for the production of asphalt for road surfaces with the use of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement.
It is MARINI’s intention to implement a technological solution which grants considerable benefits in terms of environmental impact, cost savings, versatility, asphalt production quality.
Objectives:
The aims of the project are as follows:
- incentives for the use of Recycled Asphalt Pavement material
- considerable savings in the costs of production
- reduction of environmental impact of the procedure
The implementation of the project will make a significant contribution to the technological, strategical and organizational development of MARINI.
Results:
The results expected from the project are as follows:
- execution of the overall project for the new plant, including virtual models for the simulation of structural/thermic critical rating
- execution of a prototype of asphalt plant using recycled material + experimental mock-ups
- purchase of machinery to implement production procedure correlated with building of prototype.
