“There are substantial cost savings in
adopting mobile asphalt plants, both for
contractors and project owners.”
According to Fortune, a key benefit of
the Leeboy-Ticel plant is its simple design,
which equates to ease of operation, even
for smaller and upcoming contractors.
“The simplicity and practical design of
LeeBoy-Ticel plants, complemented by
the extensive asphalt-related equipment
ranges in our stable, gives us a competitive
edge against the competition,” he says.
Cost per tonne of asphalt produced is
another key benefit of the LeeBoy-Ticel
plant, according to Sader. Because of its
simple but effective design, the plant is
also said to come at a cost effective price,
compared with other offerings currently in
the local market.
“The LeeBoy-Ticel range offers our
customers the options of various models,
depending on the job requirements and
budget available. Our range starts with the
80 t/hour model, followed by the 120 t/
hour, 160 t/hour, and 200 t/hour models.
It is capped off by a 260 t/hour model.
All models are equipped with Recycling
Collars for recycling of RAP at various
percentages and configured either as
mobile or transportable.”
Added to this is AAE’s one-stop shop
approach when it comes to asphalt-
related equipment, the company offers a
wide range of products to complement
its mobile asphalt plant range, such as
asphalt pavers and rollers.
“With the extensive range of premium
products in our stable, we can offer
package deals for our customers, and in
so doing, they benefit from our discount
structure,” says Sader. Furthermore,
a single supplier eliminates hassles
related to dealing with several equipment
suppliers, especially when it comes to
aftermarket support. Reduced spares
inventory due to commonality of spares
is another key benefit of dealing with a
single supplier.
