PORTABLE PAVING MATERIAL MIXING APPARATUS

A portable paving material mixing apparatus includes a material hopper, a rotatable mixing drum, and a discharge bed, all configured to be supported on a vehicle trailer. A burner heats material within the mixing drum. Embodiments of the mixing apparatus include a rejuvenator application system suitable for hot mix asphalt, cold mix asphalt, hot in-place recycling, and asphalt based concrete mixing. The apparatus rapidly processes a batch of material sufficient to fill 5-7 potholes, has sufficient carrying capacity to process multiple mixer batches, and stores prepared material in the discharge bed while the next batch is being prepared in the mixing drum. The apparatus enables a more efficient, less equipment-intensive paving repair process without the need for a separate millings loader or hot box.
