ABSTRACT:
A drum mixer is disclosed which is useful in the continuous production of asphalt paving composition. The mixer includes a hollow drum which is mounted for rotation about an inclined axis, and the aggregate is introduced into the upper end of the drum so that the drum rotates, the aggregate cascades through the interior of the drum and moves toward a discharge outlet at the lower end of the drum. A burner is mounted adjacent one end of the drum so that a heated gas passes through cascading aggregate. To permit the temperature of the exhaust gas to be maintained within acceptable limits so as to avoid detrimental effects to a downstream filtering baghouse, there is provided a gas flow bypass tube which is mounted coaxially within the drum. The tube may be selectively opened and closed, and upon opening the bypass tube, a portion of the heated gas is able to pass freely through a portion of the length of the drum and to the exhaust duct, without passing through the cascading aggregate. Thus the temperature of the exhaust gas rises. Upon the bypass tube being closed, all of the heated gas flows through the cascading aggregate, and the temperature of the exhaust gas is lowered.
