The industrial emulsifier for modified asphalt is a high-performance mixing system designed to integrate polymers into petroleum asphalt cement (CAP), ensuring homogeneous dispersion. This equipment is essential for paving plants that seek to produce asphalt that is more resistant to thermal variations and intense traffic.
Agimix has been in the industrial agitation and mixing solutions market for 15 years, providing complete and robust systems for the paving sector. It is important to highlight that, for large-scale operations such as asphalt plants, we supply the agitation and circulation system which is installed directly in the customer's tank, ensuring perfect integration without the need to replace the large reservoirs already existing in the plant.
To guarantee the efficiency of the process, we use the high shear, which is ideal for lump breaking and process recirculation. This technology ensures that polymers, such as SBS or rubber powder, are completely crushed and incorporated into the asphalt matrix, resulting in a stable, high-quality asphalt emulsion.
Investing in an asphalt emulsification system designed by Agimix means reducing batch time and optimizing energy consumption. Our projects are custom-sized to withstand the high temperatures and extreme viscosity required in the production of polymer-modified asphalt, delivering operational reliability for your plant.
The high shear pump guarantees the efficient breaking of lumps, resulting in a perfectly uniform asphalt mixture.
Equipment built with special alloys to resist abrasion and the high temperatures of asphalt production.
Optimizes process recirculation, reducing batch time and reducing energy consumption in the paving plant.
The agitation and mixing system is designed to be coupled directly to large tanks that the customer already has.
It ensures the correct dispersion of polymers, increasing the useful life and thermal resistance of the modified asphalt.

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.
The industrial emulsifier for modified asphalt is a high-speed rotating equipment that mixes polymers with asphalt cement. It works by crushing solid particles and ensuring homogeneous dispersion, which is essential to create a more resistant and durable floor.
The high shear pump is ideal for breaking lumps and process recirculation. It forces the asphalt and polymers to pass through a stator and a rotor, shearing the particles until they reach the microscopic size necessary for the stability of the mixture.
No, Agimix only provides the agitation and mixing system, which is installed in the large tank that the customer already has. Our own reservoirs are limited to 10,000 liters, so for paving plants we focus on integrating mixing technology into existing infrastructure.
The system is designed to process the main additives on the market, such as SBS polymer (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) and rubber powder from recycled tires. The high shear rate ensures that these materials fuse perfectly with the petroleum asphalt cement matrix.
The asphalt emulsifier is designed to operate at extreme temperatures, generally between 160°C and 200°C. To withstand this severe condition, the equipment has special mechanical seals and localized refrigeration systems, ensuring safety and durability.
Yes, efficiency in process recirculation drastically reduces the time required for complete homogenization. This means that the plant can produce more modified asphalt in less time, optimizing operating costs and increasing productivity.
Maintenance is facilitated by the modular design of the industrial mixing equipment. Wearing parts such as the rotor and stator can be inspected and replaced without having to dismantle the entire asphalt plant main piping line.
Because Agimix has 15 years of experience in developing agitation and mixing solutions for the industry. We deliver robust and tailored projects, ensuring that your plant achieves maximum performance in the production of high-quality flooring.
