Lintec asphalt plant fast-tracks crucial projects in Ningbo, China

With an output of up to 320 t/h, a Lintec CSM4000HS20-SE asphalt batching plant has helped Ningbo Heng-Shun Traffic Engineering meet the demands of several projects over the past 18 months.

Based in China's eastern Zhejiang province, Ningbo Heng-Shun Traffic Engineering Co., Ltd, took delivery of the second-largest containerized asphalt plant in the Lintec line at the end of May 2019. Due to the ease with which its modular structure got assembled, the plant was already in full-time operation by June, mixing over 3000 t of asphalt during a standard 10-hour shift.

Materials from the plant are delivered to a host of the contractor's regional projects. This has included the phase four expansion project of Ningbo Lishe International Airport as well as numerous surrounding highways.

The Plant Manager at Lintec, He Gangfeng, said, "In terms of efficiency and consistency of the final product, the Lintec model has outperformed brands we've previously used. The operating system provides a precise weighing of the aggregate and bitumen ratio. This is a unique feature for us and has already saved us a significant amount of bitumen. We also opted for corrosion-resistant paint as an option, and that has really given us effective environmental protection against the humid and often harsh climate of the East China Sea coast. This saves us money as other plants would always require third-party cover."

To meet the environmentally friendly performance, Lintec's standard pollution control unit, which recycles dirt particles into reclaimed filler rather than emitting them into the air, has proved to be an important feature.

Tony Liu, CEO of Lintec & Linnhoff China Ltd. said, "Our CSM batching plants are easier to assemble than competing models, due in large part to their high level of factory pre-assembly. But we still ensure all our installations quickly reach maximum operating efficiency. Before delivery, we bring future operators to our factory to train them in T&E (Testing & Erection), before sending one of our own engineers to the job site for full supervision of erection and commissioning."
