“DDM 120–150 Mobile Double Drum Mix Plant Deployed for Road Construction in Zanzibar, Tanzania”

Q: What output can the Atlas 120–150 TPH mobile plant achieve?

The Atlas mobile double drum mix plant produces 120–150 tonnes of hot mix asphalt per hour, suitable for medium to large road construction projects.

Q: Does Atlas supply asphalt plants to Tanzania?

Yes. Atlas Technologies has exported asphalt plants to 38 countries including Tanzania. Atlas service engineers supervise erection and commissioning at the project site.

Q: How does a counterflow drum improve efficiency?

In a counterflow drum, aggregate travels opposite to the direction of exhaust gases, maximising heat transfer and fuel efficiency compared to a parallel-flow design.

A Tanzanian road contractor needed a high-output asphalt plant that could move with their projects across Zanzibar’s road network — without compromising on production quality or reliability.

Equipment1 × Atlas 120–150 TPH Mobile Double Drum Mix Plant

The Challenge

High Output, Full Mobility

The contractor needed 120–150 TPH production capacity — enough for large road projects — but could not afford a stationary plant that locks them to one site.

Remote Deployment

Zanzibar’s road construction sites demand equipment that sets up quickly, runs reliably without nearby service infrastructure, and withstands tropical site conditions.

Supplier Trust

Before committing to a capital equipment order of this scale, the contractor needed to be certain of build quality and after-sales support. They visited the Atlas factory in Mehsana, Gujarat multiple times, reviewed each machine in detail, and evaluated Atlas against other manufacturers.

The Engineering Solution

Plant Supplied

1 × Atlas 120–150 TPH Mobile Double Drum Mix Plant with counterflow drum technology, operator-friendly control panel with recipe storage, and a reliable low-noise burner package — all mounted on a sturdy mobile chassis.

Counterflow Double Drum Design

The counterflow drum heats aggregate efficiently by moving material against the direction of exhaust gases, maximising heat transfer. The secondary mixing drum then blends the mix to a consistency that outperforms single-drum plants.

Built for Remote Sites

All components are chassis-mounted for fast transport and setup between project sites. The plant is engineered for durability in remote conditions where downtime is not an option.

Atlas After-Sales Commitment

Atlas service engineers travel to the site to supervise erection and commissioning — not a manual and a phone number.

Frequently asked questions.

What is a mobile double drum mix plant?

A mobile double drum mix plant produces hot mix asphalt using a counterflow drum for heating and a separate mixing drum for blending, all mounted on a mobile chassis for easy transport between project sites.
