- Rated capacity of our vibrating screen: 40-80t/h with 4 layers, 80-160t/h with 4 layers, 240t/h with 5 layers, 320t/h with 5 or 6 layers, 360t/h and 400t/h with 7 layers, and other customized specifications.
How much does it cost to buy a Stationary Asphalt Mixing Plant?
When choosing an asphalt mixing plant suitable for your project, factors such as type and capacity will influence your decision. At the same time, asphalt plant price is undoubtedly a crucial factor, and knowing the price range plays a vital role in your judgment. Below are the price ranges for two types of mixing plants:
- Stationary Continuous Mix Asphalt Plant: $60,000 – $200,000
- Stationary Asphalt Batch Mix Plant Price : $130,000 – $1,000,000
How to obtain the best value price for a stationary asphalt mixing plant?
- Understand the market supply and demand environment in advance, and try to avoid peak price periods based on the tightness of your own needs.
- Managing the volatility of material prices, such as steel, and choosing to purchase when prices are lower can significantly reduce costs.
- Understanding your own project requirements and choosing the appropriate equipment capacity is crucial to avoid excessive waste or insufficient production capacity.
- Find reliable and reputable local and international manufacturers, conduct factory background checks, and understand the supplier’s situation and product characteristics.
- Consider pricing, shipping costs, and equipment costs comprehensively, as shipping costs are a significant expense.
- Choose reliable suppliers. Reliable suppliers use relatively stable materials, have better technology, and lower failure rates.
- Compare after-sales service; the completeness, timeliness, and level of training provided will also have a strong impact on the added value of later production.
