Browse our range of used asphalt mixing plants, batch and drum mix configurations from leading manufacturers, available for delivery and installation across the UK.
Batch asphalt plants remain the preferred choice for UK road construction and surfacing contractors due to their flexibility across multiple asphalt mix designs within a single production shift.
In a batch plant, aggregates are dried, screened into separate hot bins, weighed to a defined recipe, and mixed in controlled batch sizes before discharge. This process allows precise control over aggregate grading and bitumen content, which is essential for producing specification-led mixes used on UK highways projects.
Typical production capacities range from 80 tph to over 400 tph depending on plant configuration and mixer size.
Batch plants are commonly used to produce:
These plants are widely used to manufacture asphalt mixes compliant with BS EN 13108 specifications for UK road construction.
We regularly source used batch plants from leading manufacturers including Ammann, Benninghoven, Marini, Lintec, and Parker Plant.
Continuous drum mix plants offer a simpler production process and lower initial capital cost compared with batch plants. They are particularly suited to contractors producing high volumes of a single asphalt mix over extended production runs.
In a drum mix plant, aggregate drying and asphalt mixing take place within the same rotating drum. This reduces plant complexity and can lower maintenance requirements for operators focused on consistent base course or binder course production.
These plants are commonly used by:
In the UK market, Parker Plant and Terex Cedarapids drum mix plants remain widely recognised across the surfacing sector.
Mobile and relocatable asphalt plants are designed for contractors operating across multiple sites, temporary depots, or infrastructure projects with changing production requirements.
Fully mobile plants are typically mounted on road-legal transport modules for rapid mobilisation and commissioning. Semi-relocatable plants generally use skid-mounted or containerised sections, allowing easier transport between long-term project locations.
These configurations are often used on:
When relocating an asphalt plant within the UK, operators should consider Environment Agency permitting requirements and local statutory nuisance regulations relating to emissions, noise, and site operation.
Omnia Machinery supplies used asphalt plants to surfacing contractors, quarry operators, and infrastructure firms throughout the UK and overseas markets. Our stock regularly includes ex-motorway upgrade plants, European asphalt production systems, and ex-quarry equipment from recognised manufacturers.
For many buyers, used asphalt plants offer a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new equipment or sourcing through the limited UK dealer used market. We help contractors access larger production capacities and specialist configurations without extended manufacturer lead times.
We can assist with UK delivery, transport coordination, and plant installation planning where required. Available plant documentation, CE mark information, and historical Environment Agency permit documentation can also be supplied where available.
Our team understands the operational requirements of UK asphalt production, including throughput targets, RAP integration, mix specification requirements, and relocation planning for temporary production sites.
We regularly supply used asphalt plants from:
Many plants are available with CE marking and supporting documentation, depending on age and specification.
Yes. Asphalt plants operating above certain production thresholds are typically regulated under the Environmental Permitting Regulations (EPR) in the UK.
Operators may require an Environment Agency Permit to Operate before commissioning the plant. Permit requirements can vary depending on throughput capacity, fuel type, emissions controls, and site location.
Omnia Machinery supplies the asphalt plant and available supporting documentation where applicable. Responsibility for obtaining permits and regulatory approval remains with the buyer and site operator. Buyers should confirm requirements directly with the Environment Agency before installation.
Asphalt plant output is generally measured in tonnes per hour (tph), and the correct capacity depends on annual production targets and working shift patterns.
Typical capacity ranges include:
When selecting a plant, contractors should consider planned annual tonnage, transport logistics, storage capacity, and expected production hours per shift.
Batch asphalt plants are designed to produce a wide range of asphalt specifications by adjusting programmed batch weights and mix recipes through the plant control system.
Depending on specification and configuration, a batch plant can typically produce:
RAP (Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement) capability depends on the plant specification. Some plants are fitted with RAP ring feeders or parallel drums to allow recycled asphalt integration at higher percentages.
Buyers should confirm RAP capability, burner specification, and control system compatibility when assessing a used asphalt plant.
