The Control Centers

All Astec control centers feature welded steel frames and are built to endure the harsh environment of an asphalt plant. The control centers come fully equipped and are climate controlled. Windows are tinted and slanted, optimizing the operator’s view of the facility. Astec control centers are designed to meet state requirements for permitting.

The Command style control center is available in four sizes: 27 feet, 31 feet, 35 feet, 40 feet. The split level design includes an elevated control room that provides a panoramic view of the facility. Each control center also features a rubber tile floor for operator comfort.
