397 CEI Enterprises’ (also a wholly-owned subsidiary of Astec Industries) line-up of the Nomad and Rap King series of hot mix asphalt plants will transfer production to the Dillman, (a division of Astec), facility in Prairie Du Chien, Wisconsin, USA.

“With the decision to consolidate all manufacturing of the corporation’s hot mix asphalt plants to the Astec Inc subsidiary, the Astec, Inc brand is now in a position globally to offer a broad range of plants producing between 72-450tonne),” says Ben Brock, Astec Industries group vice president for asphalt.

“This will be very beneficial for our international agents and customers, especially in developing markets.”

CEI Enterprises manufactures the Nomad and Rap King series of portable plants.

With production capacities of 72.5, 118 or 159tonnes/hour, the highly portable Nomad series is designed to be set-up and operational with minimal effort and time.

The plant's high-quality PLC-based controls provide reliable and fully automated mixing and can be operated fully manually if needed.

The Rap King offers production capacities of 135-162tonnes/hour both in portable configurations. A counter-flow plant, its ability to produce mix with up to 50% reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is one of its key selling points.

In addition, with the consolidation, Astec will be designing and engineering additional product line offerings in the 27-162tonnes/hour asphalt plant market.

Astec’s global service and parts network will now assume the total responsibility of supporting the after-sales service needs of all customers.
