In a conventional hot-mix asphalt process the aggregate is fed to a dryer where the surface moisture is completely removed. It is then transferred from the dryer and mixed with the liquid asphalt in the pugmill or continuous mixer. A drum mixing plant differs from the conventional process in that the asphalt cement and aggregate are heated and mixed in the dryer drum in a single operation.
