A system for producing hot mix asphalt includes a generator having an exhaust port; a dryer drum having an inlet; a duct connecting the exhaust port to the inlet, the duct conveying a first flow of hot gas from the exhaust port; an exhaust bypass vent conveying a second flow of hot gas diverging from the first flow of hot gas; and a valve disposed at a junction between the duct and the exhaust bypass vent for adjusting a flow rate of the second flow of hot gas. The dryer drum produces hot mix asphalt from asphalt materials using a third flow of hot gas diverging from the first flow of hot gas and entering the dryer drum through the inlet.
