Asphalt Kerb
Asphalt Extrusion Process - Asphalt Delivery
At the heart of Extrudakerb's asphalt kerb operation is an advanced and unique extrusion process.
Across the UK, Extrudakerb utilises a vast database of proven asphalt kerb mix designs delivered by a rigorously monitored supply chain encompassing some of the world’s premier construction material supply companies.
The asphalt kerb material, locally sourced using local aggregates, is blended to specific designs that not only comply with specification, but also to Extrudakerb’s own strict controls imposed to ensure consistent quality.
The kerb material is delivered in conventional insulated tipper lorries. Parked ahead of the kerbing machine, the lorries discharge into the receiving hopper of a specially modified telehandler with an insulated feed system.
The telehandler conveys around 3 tonnes of kerb material – enough to construct around 150 metres of kerb, to the kerbing machine.
At the touch of a button, the kerb material is safely discharged from the feed machine into the receiving hopper of the kerb extrusion machine.
Insulated and covered delivery lorries, feeding machine hopper and extrusion machine hopper all play a part in ensuring that the kerb material temperature is maintained from source at the mixing plant to placement on site.
