Brown & Brown Quality-Controlled Asphalt Recycling provides long-term, economical, environmentally friendly, and energy-efficient renewal for roads and other paved surfaces. We know of no other cold recylcing method or operation that delivers comparable quality.

Both our in-place and central-plant recycling offer economical solutions to roadway rehabilitation. To further enhance pavement longevity and performance, we can incorporate a variety of additives, or combinations of additives, in dry or liquid form, including lime, cement, fly ash, and various forms of asphalt cement into the recycling mix.

1. In-place and central-plant recycling enable us to rebuild pavements by removing and reprocessing the old asphalt surface into a new, thoroughly remixed course. Existing cracks are eliminated. Ruts and potholes disappear. Independent research studies indicate that recycled asphalt pavements perform as well as, or better than, the original pavements.

2. During in-place recycling, the powerful milling machine at the front of our custom-built recycling train removes the existing asphalt pavement to a precisely controlled depth. Depending on sample analysis, hydrated lime slurry or water can be added at the cutting head to enhance performance of the recycled mixture and produce the optimum liquid content for compaction.

3. A conveyor carries the chunks of milled pavement to our screening/crushing machine. This double-deck "closed-circuit" system diverts oversized material into an impact crusher to further break up the asphalt matrix. The screening and crushing process continues until all the reclaimed material has been sorted through the vibrating screens and conveyed to the pugmill mixer.
