Corporate Profile: ALmix

Who We Are

We manufacture the most durably built and detail-oriented line of asphalt plants and asphalt equipment on the market as well as a fleet of robust automation solutions for a variety of different asphalt plants, burners, hot oil heaters, tank farms, and more.

An Example

One of the producers ALmix works with is GMI Asphalt, Belmont, New Hampshire.

We Enhance Quality

Neil Arruda, general manager of GMI Asphalt’s materials division shares: “In 2021, our company (GMI Asphalt) made perhaps the most significant investment at our plant: a 300-ton silo, 500 TPH drag conveyor, and custom flop chute from ALmix, Fort Wayne, Indiana. We made those investments so we could produce more mix at the plant and also increase our production and trucking efficiencies.

“The silo allows the plant to run continuously and enables us to fill the silo in the morning or the night before. We’ve also noticed a number of cost savings related to GMI’s latest investments. First and foremost, in terms of trucking.

“We went from an average time for a truck in the yard of 35 minutes to less than 10 minutes. Just loading the truck used to take 7 minutes from the batch plant. With the silo, we’re at 1 minute, 5 seconds to fully load a truck. That has been particularly beneficial during the current truck shortage because it enables us to run with fewer trucks. A line at the plant to get loaded is just wasted money.”

We Enhance Sustainability

We also estimate that GMI has saved 5% on its total fuel and electric bills by reducing startups and shutdowns. Being able to continue to produce mix even if there’s not a truck in the yard also allows us to produce a more consistent mix.
