ANT Cold Recycling
The ANT Cold Recycling, which is developed by our company, allows the use of RAP (milled asphalt) to create road bases and surfaces. The uniqueness of the ANT Technology consists in the rejuvenation of the bitumen film, which is contained in the RAP, and, in that way, a monolithic and resistant material is formed after the compaction of the material. This approach allows to completely eliminate the use of bituminous emulsions and foamed bitumen, also reduce the amount of cement used. This, in turn, allows to reduce the estimated costs of cold regeneration works by more than a half, as well as to solve a number of environmental challenges.
ANT Cold mix modifier
The basic element of the technological process is the agent ANT Cold mix modifier (further
ANT Modifier) manufactured by the company ANT-Engineering. It's a complex organic preparation,
the action of which is directed to perforiming reactions of reduction-oxidation in RAP (crushed asphalt) at the
molecular level.
The ANT Modifier performs a directed reaction of oxidation by means of the impact of molecular oxygen to
the surface of the RAP particles. As a result, there occurs a "rejuvenation" of the bitumen film, which allows
to obtain a large number of new bitumen contacts after the compaction of the material. Also, owing to the
impact of the reaction of reduction-oxidation to the particles of the mineral material, a formation of new
mineral bonds takes place, which results in an increase in the strength of the new material.
The ANT Cold mix modifier is completely safe for people and nature, both in a concentrated
form and in a water solution. Furthermore, it is neither inflammable nor explosive and can be transported by
any means of transport.
The uniqueness of the ANT Cold Asphalt Regeneration Technology
01
Environmental Safety
The ANT Modifier is completely safe for man and nature. The application of the technology allows to use RAP (old asphalt) in a volume of 100% during the production of a new cold mixture. The use of a bituminous emulsion and foamed bitumen can be completely eliminated and the use of cement reduced by more than 50% owing to the application of the ANT Modifier.
02
Lowered Construction Costs
The use of the technology reduces the cost of works by more than 50 % by eliminating the use of bituminous materials, decreasing the quantity of cement used and reducing the time of execution of work.
03
Universality of the Technology.
The technology allows to combine the compounds of cold mixtures and, consequently, the materials both for the bases of roads, and for their surface layers. The execution of works is possible by using both recyclers and mixing plants.
04
The Execution of Works in a Non-Stop Mode
Once the cold mixture layer is compacted, you can open the road traffic or proceed to the next stage of road works: the surfacing of the road. It is unnecessary to care for the new layer or stop the traffic.
