• Side-by-side quadruple feed bin with wide top bin
openings: 3.70 m width makes operation more agile and
makes it possible to use the plant with large size loader.
• Individual feed bin capacity of 6 and 7 m3 (optional:
extension to 9 and 10 m³).
• Loading only from one side.
• Feed bins with a loading height of only 3.95 m on the
highest point. Extensions on the back silos, which increase
the volume of the silos and facilitate the loading, offering
excellent reference for the operator. It is also possible to
support the bucket on the extensions because they were
built with very strong material. All of these factors together
result in a perfect loading process that is free from
contaminants between the bins.
• High division between silos: contribute to avoid
contamination of material.
• Very steep walls facilitate the flow of materials.
• Adjustable aggregates flow gates, easily accessible and
with high accuracy.
• Flat dosing belts with vulcanized side guards: ensure
a greater sample of material going across the load cell
and greater precision for the weighing system, and easy
maintenance. The accordion-type side guards provide
protection to the aggregates.
• Rollers with shielded bearings: positioned on the
inside of the rollers, these increase the unit’s working life.
• High performance vibrators: besides vibrating, they
also exert a strong mechanical action on the aggregates by
means of a plate connected directly to the vibrator.
• Basic equipment comes standard with a vibrator placed in
the bin that operates with material of a pre-defined granule
size, with the possibility of equipping the other bins.
Flow sensor: automatically detects a lack of material in
the bin, without intervention of the technician. Composed
of a material feeler and an end-stop key.
• Vibrating screen (optional): efficient separation
of materials that are outside the planned size range
(available only for the single chassis version of the
equipment).
• Ease of maintenance: the design of the feed bins makes
it possible to change their pads without the need to take
apart the feed bin frame.
• Conveyor belt: dumps the aggregates directly on the
internal part of the drum dryer.
• Scraper unit: positioned on the internal part of the
dryer, ensuring that all heavy materials actually enter
the dryer.

Magnum 140 double chassis

Equipment divided into two different chassis

• One chassis equipped with dryer, mixer, bag house

and control cabin.
• Another chassis, with the dosing unit: four feed bins in
a row - with individual capacities of 7 m3 (with the ability
to extend to up to six bins).
• Choice of setup in line or at 90°.

Counterflow dryer

Drying systems are fundamental to the perfect operation of an asphalt plant. This is why the
Magnum Counterflow Plant series’ drying system was designed in partnership with CMI, a
worldwide leader in asphalt plant manufacturing. The most sophisticated computer technology and
Section 1 Section 2 Section 3 mathematical modeling of turbulent flows and heat and mass transference went into its design in
order to maximize drying efficiency and increase fuel economy.

The initial section, designed with a larger diameter than the rest of the dryer’s body, reproduces
the Venturi effect, decelerating the fumes and preventing a significant percentage of the larger
particles from being sucked into the exhaust system.

Section 1: larger diameter leads to the Venturi effect, with greater Consequentially, the bag filter’s work load is
drying volume reduced, increasing the working life of the
Section 2: maximum heat exchange between aggregates and flame
Section 3: prevents the material from falling on the fire
filtration elements.

The dryer is driven by gear motors, which does

away with the use of belts.

High drying efficiency and maximum fuel economy

• The dryer’s size, 2.20 m in diameter at the largest section and 1.80 m at the smallest and with a 6.60 m
length, give it a large drying volume.
• The internal fins’ unique shape, designed with the help of state-of-the-art computer tools, maximizes the
heat exchanged between the aggregates and the burner’s flame.
• Perfect distribution of the different fins on the dryer optimizes its efficiency. One example of this is the
combustion zone, in which the fins are designed and distributed so as to prevent the material from falling
onto the flame, increasing the unit’s thermal yield and reducing toxic fume emissions.
• Bolted fins in the dryer: makes it possible to obtain a better adjustment for any situation, always ensuring
the full implementation of the drying stage and also better savings on fuel.
• Superb drying performance and therefore greater fuel savings.
• Fins made out of USI AR 400 steel (optional): the use of hardened steel for the fins extends their working
life reducing maintenance costs and increasing the equipment’s productivity.

Burner

The Bomag Marini CF-04/12 burner has a dual spraying system designed with a gear pump and compressed
air. This ensures the perfect spraying of the fuel, better fuel performance and, consequentially, improved fuel
economy.
• 12,000,000 kcal/h heat output.
• The CF-04 burner can burn different types of fuel such as: diesel, heavy oil, and ethanol.
• Video camera for viewing the flame.
• Optional flame control system with infrared sensor (optional).
• kit to burn natural gas or LPG (optional).

Fuel temperature regulator (rectifier)

Bomag Marini offers temperature regulator as optional. This device ensures effective combustion
in the preparation of the asphalt mix. By making sure that the fuel is at an ideal temperature
for combustion, the regulator therefore decreases waste, in so far as it improves use of the
thermal energy yield. The temperature regulator also makes it possible to store the fuel at lower
temperatures, in this way making better administration possible while it is in the holding tank.
Not only that, but by storing the fuel at a lower temperature, greater economy is obtained by the
thermal fluid heater.

Asphalt temperature regulator (rectifier)

The use of this accessory ensures significant improvements for the Visual representation of the asphalt
process: and fuel regulators
- Makes it possible for the binding agent to be sprayed on the
aggregates at an ideal temperature, controlled by the plant’s PLC,
which ensures that it has the ideal viscosity for mixing with the
aggregates.
asphalt
- The binding agent can be stored at a lower temperature in the regulator
storage tanks, significantly reducing the evaporation of its lighter
portions and, even more importantly: it greatly reduces the effects
of oxidation and aging of the asphalt.

The reduction of the storage temperature also significantly reduces

fuel
spending on fuel used to maintain the temperature of the tanks. regulator

External rotational mixer

Bomag Marini LA is concerned about all factors that influence the end quality of the asphalt mixture. For this
reason it offers a system designed with toothed fins that have a strong mechanical mixing action and a unique
system for fine aggregate dosing.

Main advantages:
• Superb mechanical energy for the mixing process.
• Mixing zone with extremely low oxygen levels.
• Longer mixing time. Guarantee the perfect homogeneity of mixture.
Mixing chamber

• Our exclusive toothed fin system keeps the material in the lower part of the external rotational mixer where it receives an elevated
number of strong paddle strokes, lending greater mechanical energy to the mixing process and, consequentially, a homogeneous
asphalt mixture of excellent quality.
• Bolted fins in the mixer: possibility of adjusting the fins, allowing the customer to control with perfection the variables of mix time
and mechanical energy, which results in a better mix quality and higher level of homogeneity under any situation.
• Mixer bottom and fins with wearing plate made of HARDOX 400 steel (optional): the utilization of very hard steel to wear the mixer’s
bottom has the purpose of extending its durability, reducing maintenance costs, and increasing the equipment’s productivity.
• Fines dosing system: the mixing zone is divided into two parts. The first is used to mix the binding
agent mixture with the larger size aggregates while the end section is used to dose the fines.
This dosing system makes it possible to respect the individual properties of the different materials
involved in the mixing process and ensures perfect covering of the larger aggregates by the binding
agent, as well as ensuring the right film thickness. Only after this the fines are added and mixed in with
the asphalt binding agent. All these factors combined contribute to the effective production of a top
quality asphalt mixture.
• Mixer chamber assembled in two pieces: easy access for maintenance.

The external rotational mixer’s design offers the following advantages:

• Low maintenance.
• Energy-saving.
External rotational mixer -
• Self-cleaning mixing zone. mixing zone divided into two parts

Inclined Drag Mixer conveyor

Our concern with quality does not end after the mixing process. For this reason
Bomag Marini LA developed the Drag Mixer system: a retractable conveyor that
keeps the asphalt mix from segregating in the conveyor. This is a very common
problem on redler-type conveyors with conventional blades because their flat
shape can cause segregation.
• In the Drag Mixer system, every two toothed fins there is one flat blade,
distributed in such a way as to provoke a non-linear movement in the mixture,
maintaining its high level of homogeneity.
• Gear motor drive system.
• The fact that the retractable conveyor is connected to the mobile chassis makes
it easier to transport the plant. Placing the conveyor in working position does not
require the use of cranes or hoists.
• Heavy-duty conveyor and blades.
• The automatic opening of the silo’s floodgate is controlled by a PLC.
• The wear plates are made out of cast iron that is highly resistant to abrasion.
• Storage silo for 1 m3 of ready mix.
Internal view

• Bottom and sides of the elevator made out of HARDOX 400 steel (optional): the
utilization of hardened steel for the bottom of the Elevator extends its durability,
reducing maintenance costs and increasing the equipment’s productivity.

Environmentally aware productivity - hot reclaiming

Bomag Marini LA is a pioneer in Latin America in hot reclaiming for asphalt plants. Materials recycling is
becoming increasingly important, especially due to its economic and ecological aspects. It helps to conserve
the environment by using less virgin mineral aggregates and asphalt and it is extremely economical because
it reuses the old material already on the road. Equipped with a floodgate for the addition of reclaimed
materials and with an exclusive external heating ring, Magnum 140 asphalt plants are designed to process up
to 25% reclaimed material while still maintaining the same asphalt mixture quality.
Ask about the optional mobile recycling unit.

Bag filter

The Bomag Marini LA bag house was produced in close cooperation with CMI | USA with the objective
to make it a global product. Sophisticated computational resources and modern mathematical modeling
tools of turbulent flows were used in order to reach the best operational parameters, thereby ensuring
perfect performance for the filtering system. The result of this advanced design work are highly efficient
filters with emission levels of particles less than 50 mg/Nm3, thereby complying with the strictest
environmental standards.
• Low ascending speed: ensures the effective cleaning of the bags by the air jet pulse, which prevents
the bag filter from bottlenecking production.
• Uniform distribution of the filtering load throughout all of the bags:.
- longer working life for the filtration elements
- more effective filtration process
• Minimization of recirculation and high-speed points:
- large filtering area
- 400 Bomag Marini polyester conventional heat-sealed bags in polyester (seamless) or
Nomex (optional) treatment.

Bag filter control system

• Automatic control of filter temperatures and

fumes, with inter-locking of the plant’s burner.
• The control panel can be independent, which
makes it possible to install it on older plants as
well as for manual operation.
• Designed to operate at a broad range of
temperatures, making the filter’s operation safer.
• Automatic control of the burner.
• Longer durability of the filtration elements.

Control cabin

Bomag Marini LA broad experience in the manufacturing of highly portable asphalt plants was the starting place for several of
the decisions for the project that guided the development of the Magnum 140 Plant.
One of these configurations is related to the placement of the control cabin.
Experience shows that the location of the cabin should not only provide a complete view of the truck loading area but should
also be as far as possible from the aggregate feed bins, avoiding an area with a lot of dust and possible spills of material due to
an error on the part of the loading tractor operator.

• Positioned strategically away from the feed bins.

Optional equipment

Filler feed bin

Bomag Marini Latin America developed a 1 m³ and 2 m³

capacity filler bin for two applications: filling in voids in the
mixture or adhesiveness. The screw conveyor is controlled by Sistex
software to dose the correct amount of filler desired by the customer.
Easy to install and assemble.

Fiber feed bin

The 2 m3 fiber feed bin was designed to add any type of fiber to special asphalt mixes in a
controlled way.
Attached to the asphalt plant, it precisely measures the desired percentage of fibers by way of a
screw conveyor, activated by a gearmotor, which is controlled by a frequency inverter connected
to the Sistex control system. In order to meet the needs of a wide variety of special mixes, such as
SMA (Stone Matrix Asphalt) and PFL (Porous Friction Layer), the manner in which the fibers are
processed is just as important as how they are dosed:
- The fibers are usually supplied in the form of pallets that “open up” by way of the mechanical
energy of the mix with the virgin aggregates and the heat (without contact with the flame).
- Only after this quick mixing process, called the “dry mix”, the asphalt binding agent is added and
the moist mixture is processed.
- The efficient injection of the fibers will make it possible to add greater asphalt content without exudation, as well as making higher quality binding agent film
possible over the aggregates in these high performance asphalt mixtures.

This is why Marini LA asphalt plants have an important competitive advantage: the fibers can be incorporated into the mix through the reclaiming ring inflow
(where they will go through heating), and first mixed with the virgin aggregates (mixing zone 3), meeting international requirements for special mixtures.

Systems for collection and control of fines

Consists in the extraction of fines from the bag house

and depositing them in a 2 m3 or 20 m3 bin.
The percentage of fines to be added to the process is
determined by the traits of the mixture to be used.
The injection of fine aggregates takes place by way
of screw conveyor, which is activated by a gearmotor
controlled by a frequency inverter connected to the
Sistex control system.

The excess material goes through an overflow chute or

screw conveyor for loading onto a specialized vehicle
or discarding area.

Mobile rap unit

Asphalt pavement reclaiming, commonly called RAP (Recycled Asphalt Pavement), involves the
reuse of milled material. Use of reclaimed asphalt pavement can replace the use of some kinds of
virgin aggregates in a new asphalt mixture.

The purpose of the reclaiming system is to reincorporate materials from milling processes into
the asphalt mixing process. These are introduced by way of the reclaiming cover (recycling ring),
allowing for the use of RAP, leading to savings, environmental awareness
and high quality for the end product.
