Ladders, stairs, platforms and handrails are shipped in place.

The drum is raised to operating position by a hydraulic unit provided.

Factory installed bags and cages save time and man-power.

Astec engineers designed Six Pack HMA facility foundations for setup ease.

Pre-Assembly Is A Real Time Saver

Astec pre-assembly significantly reduces the number of hours it takes for setup. Most ladders, stairs, platforms and handrails are shipped in place. Bulkheads are pre-installed. Pre-piping and pre-wiring done at the factory cut many hours of work every time you move. Factory-installed baghouse filter bags with cages save your people from the cumbersome, time-consuming chore of installing this system themselves. Other conveniences include the scalping screen pre-installed on the inclined conveyor and the mounted and pre-wired operating consoles in the control house.

Easy Elevating, Leveling & Stabilizing

Once they are positioned, pre-level all Astec units using the air bag suspensions. Crank-down landing gears support the loads after unhooking from the tractor and before lowering the steel foundations. Final elevating and leveling is done with built-in hydraulic or mechanical jacks. Astec duct work and piping even allows for small alignment variations. You don’t have to deal with shims or concrete foundations for any part of the Six Pack HMA facility.

Compare Our Foundations

Foundations ship in place and are quickly lowered to support the equipment on compacted soil. The built-in, retractable steel foundations significantly reduce the work required to set up or break down the Six Pack facility. Even the best foundations on competitive equipment are usually crude and difficult to adjust and often require use of timbers for leveling and to increase the load bearing surface. You’ll never have those problems with the Six Pack HMA facility.
