Pre-delivery Commissioning
Burner map validation, baghouse CFM baseline and cold-feed belt scale calibration logged before the first load leaves the silo — warranty starts with numbers.
Plant Engineering · Since 1972
From pre-delivery burner maps to baghouse media rebuilds — Astec keeps asphalt and concrete plants producing against highway tonnage schedules with a 250 / 500 / 1,000 hour plant PM cadence and critical-parts response inside a single paving shift.
Burner map validation, baghouse CFM baseline and cold-feed belt scale calibration logged before the first load leaves the silo — warranty starts with numbers.
Drum flight wear survey, filter differential trending and mixer amperage checks on a 250 / 500 / 1,000 hour cadence matched to your seasonal tonnage.
Baghouse media changeout, burner nozzle replacement and silo insulation repair at season end — keeps residual value above wholesale book for fleet renewals.
Five numbered steps every asphalt plant superintendent recognizes from highway and municipal maintenance plans.
Belt scale zero/span and burner pilot pressure baseline logged for commissioning packs.
Baghouse differential sample and hydraulic gate circuit oil check against ISO 4406 targets.
Drum flight thickness gauged; burner fuel filters swapped under load.
Silo level probes calibrated; mixer liner wear mapped for concrete batchers.
Baghouse media rebuild, drum shell inspection and on-site plant reactivation checklist.
We benchmark baghouse differential trends, burner combustion efficiency and mixer wear against Astec reference contractors running similar highway and municipal tonnage. Bring plant class, average daily t/h and fuel slate — we return a prioritized PM calendar within five working days.
Service contracts can tier continuous drum plants separately from concrete batchers so baghouse rebuilds and mixer liner swaps align with each duty cycle instead of a single calendar date.
