KMA Plant.
At Matte Black Surfacing, we invest in advanced plant and technology to deliver efficient, sustainable, and high-quality surfacing solutions. A key part of this capability is our use of the Wirtgen KMA 240i cold mixing plant, a highly versatile mobile system designed for the production of cold-mixed asphalt and hydraulically bound materials.
Wirtgen KMA 240i Cold Mixing Plant.
What a Cold Mixing Plant is.
A cold mixing plant produces asphalt and bound materials without the need for heating, unlike traditional hot-mix asphalt plants. Materials are mixed at ambient temperatures using reclaimed asphalt planings (RAP), aggregates, binders, cement, foamed bitumen, or emulsions, depending on the application.
This method significantly reduces energy consumption, carbon emissions, and material waste while still delivering strong, durable results.
Capabilities of the Wirtgen KMA 240i.
The KMA 240i is a high-output, mobile cold recycling and mixing plant capable of producing up to 240 tonnes per hour. Its flexibility allows precise control of material composition, making it suitable for a wide range of highway and commercial surfacing applications.
Key capabilities include:
- Cold asphalt production
- Foamed bitumen stabilisation
- Cement and hydraulic binder mixing
- Reuse of reclaimed asphalt planings (RAP)
- Custom mix designs to meet specification requirements
Sustainable & Cost-Effective Surfacing.
By reusing existing materials and eliminating the need for heating, the KMA 240i offers significant environmental benefits:
- Reduced carbon emissions
- Lower fuel and energy usage
- Minimised waste sent to landfill
- Reduced haulage and material costs
This makes cold-mixed materials an ideal solution for local authorities, developers, and contractors seeking more sustainable construction methods without compromising performance.
Precision & Quality Control.
The KMA 240i features advanced control systems that allow accurate dosing and consistent mixing of materials. This ensures uniform quality, reliable performance, and compliance with project specifications.
Combined with our experienced operatives and quality-led approach, this technology allows us to deliver dependable results across a wide range of surfacing and recycling projects.
Applications.
Materials produced by the Wirtgen KMA 240i are commonly used for:
- Highway base and binder layers
- Road widening and strengthening
- Temporary and permanent reinstatements
- Industrial yards and access roads
- Maintenance and repair schemes
