ABSTRACT:
A process for recycling the upper surface of an asphaltic surface. The process includes the steps of: (a) rupturing the upper surface to a depth of at least about 1.5 inches to provide a ruptured upper surface overlying the remaining unruptured portion of the asphaltic surface; (b) heating and mixing the ruptured upper surface on the remaining unruptured portion of the asphalt surface to a temperature in the range of from about 100.degree. to about 350.degree. F. to produce a heated, ruptured upper surface which is substantially free of moisture; and (c) pressing the heated, ruptured upper surface to provide a recycled asphaltic surface. An apparatus adapted for carrying out the process is also described.
