A method for producing an asphalt concrete blend that includes the steps of drying and heating aggregate in a single and only dryer, preferably via direct heating, and without use of a pre-dryer. The aggregate is then combined with asphalt cement, preferably via indirect heating, such that the blend has an asphalt cement components (ACC) percentage of at least 25% percent to form an aggregate mix. Liquid asphalt cement may also be added to the aggregate mix. Preferably, the asphalt cement content of the final asphalt concrete blend is provided by a maximum of 70% ACC. In certain cases, the asphalt cement content of the asphalt concrete blend is comprised of ACC and liquid asphalt cement.

A system and method for filling pot holes. The system includes transferring aggregate from an aggregate tank. Activator is likewise transferred from an activator tank. The activator is mixed with the aggregate to form a homogenized mixture. A liquid is introduced into a homogenized mixture to form a slurry and then a pot hole filler. The pot hole filler is directed through an exit end of a mixing tube.

There is provided a three vehicle train for the continuous cold in-place recycling of asphalt road surface, the train comprising a first supply vehicle containing both water and asphalt emulsion that is in fluid communication with the remaining vehicles; a second milling vehicle for removing a portion of the topmost layer of the road surface as aggregate and evacuating the aggregate via a system of conveyors to a third vehicle; and a third processing vehicle for screening the aggregate to a proper size, mixing the aggregate with cement, water, and/or asphalt emulsion under computer control into a slurry, and depositing the resulting slurry onto the previously milled asphalt road surface.
