Process control and more
The latest version 4.5 of Ammann’s unique, easy-tohandle as1 control and routing system platform is now available for mix production.
Although the system offers an extensive range of functions, it is extremely simple to operate thanks to fully-automated plant control. Outstanding highlights offered by the as1 include a variety of add-on modules such as the “RA Dynamic” module. This means that the reclaimed asphalt feed can be adapted to requirements during production with just one click of the mouse. With the “Loadout System” module, efficient and safe loading of trucks is handled automatically with the help of an ingenious single-knob operating control. It goes without saying that the as1 and the appropriate modules provide the perfect solution for controlling the key cost drivers in mixing plant operation, such as energy and maintenance costs.
Finally, a variety of statistical and reporting options can satisfy every possible wish that customers may have. Ammann’s as1 control technology represents an investment in an innovative system combining groundbreaking technology with process expertise that has been tried and tested throughout the world.
