Marini has designed its new Xpress plants for high mobility and fast commissioning

Marini is widening its range of asphalt batching plants with new, highly mobile additions to the line-up. The firm is offering four new model variants for the Xpress line, which previously featured just the Xpress 2500. The firm is widening choices for the customers with its Xpress 1500, 1500P, 2000 and 2000P models.

These plants are designed for maximum mobility and can be transported in just two trailers. These are within regulations for road transport in terms of weight and dimensions, allowing high mobility.

The existing Xpress 2500 model provides an output of up to 200tonnes/hour. However the new Xpress 1500 and 1500P offer outputs of 120tonnes/hour, while the larger Xpress 2000 and Xpress 2000P offer outputs of up to 160tonnes/hour.

These new models are designed for high mobility and retain similar features to the existing Xpress 2500 model. The 1500 variants feature 1.5tonne capacity mixers while the 2000 machines have 2tonne capacity mixers. The various models feature different burners to suit their throughput capacities. All the Xpress models share the same ease of transport and fast erection capabilities. Just 3m wide, 21m long and with the trailers weighing 40tonnes, there are no transport restrictions when moving the separate units by road.

Meanwhile the machine is also easy to commissions and can be erected in a single day. Thanks to a hydraulic raise system for the main trailer. A simple recycling circuit can be added if required, allowing the plants to use up to 25% RAP inside the ring, 30% RAP into the mixer. Meanwhile using a combination of both system, up to 40% RAP can be used. Other capabilities include a warm mix output, as well as an optional foamed bitumen kit.
