Road recycling traditionally covers a lot of areas and many different types of machines, from soil stabilisers to pavement planers. Whether its road profiling, reclaiming, milling or planning, the machines are getting better

Recycling is about reusing the road material just milled from the road surface. The new CBA asphalt granulator bucket from Simex, is ideal for recovering milled asphalt material or RAP — recycled asphalt pavement. It reduces asphalt slabs to certifiable grain size thanks to the configurable rear grid. CBA bucket has the dual advantage of combining reduced construction site costs — less supply of new raw materials — while at the same time offers the possibility of reintroducing the milled material into the production cycle of new asphalt.

Simex’s R&D department has combined the concept of milling drums with rotor crusher bucket technology, creating the three-models of CBA asphalt granulator bucket range: CBA 20, CBA 30 and CBA 40 for 12–40tonne excavators. The equipment features a cylindrical drum of asymmetric teeth driven by large displacement radial piston hydraulic motors in direct drive. The rear grid determines the grain size of the material output. It is available in several configurations to meet the regulations covering milled material in varying countries.

CBA asphalt granulator buckets aim to ensure broad autonomy for operators engaged daily in road maintenance works, crushing aggregates and filling excavations for laying underground utilities. Cutting down the time and costs related to transport and minimising the purchase of new raw materials means optimising your site’s logistical and economic dynamics while reducing environmental impact by recovering materials considered a reusable resource rather than waste.
