Can a 200 TPH asphalt plant ship in 40 ft containers?

Yes. Atlas Technologies redesigned the entire plant architecture to meet 40 ft container dimensions without reducing output. The design was built from zero — no existing drawings existed for this configuration.

Why use square bitumen tanks in an asphalt plant?

Square bitumen tanks heat more efficiently than round tanks. Atlas Technologies custom-designed them specifically for the Zanzibar double drum mix plant order.

How fast can Atlas Technologies deliver a custom asphalt plant?

Atlas Technologies manufactured, tested, and supplied 2 × 200 TPH double drum mix plants in 50 days for this Zanzibar, Tanzania project — including a bespoke design from scratch.

“Delivered in Just 50 Days: 2 × 200 TPH Fully Mobile Double Drum Mix Plants to Zanzibar”

Q: Can a 200 TPH double drum plant be fully mobile?

Yes. Atlas Technologies engineered this plant with full mobility across all modules. Both units run on mobile chassis and were custom-designed from scratch by Atlas MD Nilesh Patel — a capacity that is normally only available in stationary plants.

We designed a fully mobile 200 TPH plant from scratch and fitted it within 40 ft container dimensions for a repeat customer.

Project TypeInternational Export | Repeat Customer (Contractor from Tanzania)

Equipment2 × Atlas 200 TPH Double Drum Mobile Mix Plants with Square Bitumen Tanks, Drag Slat Conveyor and High-Efficiency Filtration

The Challenge

A repeat customer, already running an Atlas 150 TPH mobile plant, needed 200 TPH capacity for larger infrastructure projects without giving up mobility.

Capacity vs. Mobility

Plants at 200 TPH are usually stationary. This one had to fit standard mobile chassis and 40 ft container shipping limits.

No Existing Design

No engineering drawings existed for a fully mobile 200 TPH double drum plant, so the design had to start from zero.

Tight Delivery Window

The client's project deadlines left very little time for design, manufacturing and supply.

The Engineering Solution

Atlas Managing Director Nilesh Patel designed the entire plant architecture from scratch and reduced its dimensions to fit 40 ft container shipping specifications, with no loss of production output.

Plant & Equipment Supplied

2 × 200 TPH Double Drum Mix Plants, fully mobile across all modules, with square bitumen tanks, drag slat conveyor discharge, and a high-efficiency filtration system.

Custom Design for Efficiency

Square bitumen tanks heat more efficiently than standard round tanks. The drag slat conveyor handles discharge, and the filtration system controls dust and emissions.

50-Day Turnaround

Atlas manufactured, tested, and supplied both plants within 50 days, in time for the client's project deadlines.

The Victory

Project Outcomes

Two 200 TPH plants now run fully mobile, a capacity that is normally stationary

Bespoke design fits 40 ft container shipping without cutting output

Atlas manufactured, tested, and supplied both plants in 50 days

The client chose Atlas over global OEMs after benchmarking and workshop visits

“We already trusted our Atlas 150 TPH plant, so we came back for 200 TPH. Other manufacturers offered standard models. Atlas built exactly what we needed: fully mobile, on our schedule.”
