Power China Group is using a Linnhoff TSD1500 Asphalt Mixing Plant for two rural road projects in Kenya to boost the economy and transportation network of local communities.
The first project started in Embu City, 125km northeast of Nairobi, Kenya on a 5km rural road project. The project involved road repair to reduce dust in local neighbourhoods, which included removing soil on the roads, replacing materials, and compacting potholes to improve accessibility for the local communities.
Once completed, the plant was rapidly disassembled and transported over 400km to a job site in Voi, close to Kenya’s south-eastern border. The plant began working on constructing a 12km road section at this new location and is still producing high-quality asphalt for this key transportation initiative.
“Since 2010, we’ve been successfully working with the Lintec CSM and CSD Containerised Asphalt Mixing Plants, so we have full confidence in their capabilities, as well as how economical they are to transport from one location to another,” said a spokesperson from Power China Group. “The Linnhoff TSD1500 MobileMix asphalt mixing plant takes portability to a whole new level and has enabled us to react quickly to unexpected situations, while also delivering a healthy revenue stream.”
The TSD1500’s offers an output of 100-120 tph enabled by its 1,500kg batch size and 45-55 second batch times.
