The US Navy set out to find an asphalt recycler to quickly repair bombed-out airstrips in remote locations so their aircraft could land again. “Remote locations” means no asphalt plant exists there. The Navy’s selection criteria included reliability, speed & ease of operation, quality of hot mix asphalt produced, operational flexibility, but a key was “mobility”. Mobility means a recycler’s ability to efficiently travel i.e make and discharge hot mix asphalt at the site of repair. Other manufacturers’ models tout mobility, but operate best when held in a stationary location. The RENOVA 4000 efficiently travels to repair sites, mixes, heats and discharges mix, if desired, directly into a hole to be filled. After a demonstration of these qualities, the US Navy chose RENOVA to deliver a technology that works for them. The 4000’s built for the Navy can be lifted and placed onto a C-130 Transport Aircraft. So, pictures show the (yellow) lifting apparatus.

Innovative addition to the RENOVA 4000:
Sliding doors at the nose cone of the drum.
Result:
1. Keeps more heat in the drum resulting in shorter cycle times
2. Creates a more pleasant experience while operating the machine

...and that $13/ton hot mix asphalt-making paver then dumps his mix into hot boxes that carry it out to crews at repair sites.

40F when this video was made. We've made hot mix asphalt in ambient temp at -5F, making possible to source hot mix in winter.

Rotating 100% of the 2 tons of mix with proper flighting does what pug mill or auger designs cannot: Quickly heat, extend heating time or reheat the entire asphalt load. Since the flame does not touch the mix, the highest form of heat transfer - radiative - is accomplished, beating convective heat in efficiency and time duration.

This city likes to discharge our unique slightly-rubberized >300F hot mix asphalt directly into potholes needing repair rather than first into a front-end loader. They love making 2+ tons in 15 minutes using old pavement ...easily saving enough to pay for the machine in a time well shorter than they expected.
