Ermont supports the decarbonisation with the TSX

The TSX is the result of many years of research and development from Ermont to provide its clients with a solution that is respectful of the environment and that can support the decarbonisation of road construction and maintenance jobs.

The TSX, available in stationary (TSX INCITY) and supermobile (TSX HIGHWAY) versions, is the result of many years of research and development from Ermont to provide its clients with a solution that is respectful of the environment and that can support the decarbonisation of road construction and maintenance jobs.

The TSX InCity (stationary version) is a continuous ecological asphalt plant, unique in the world, capable of recycling up to 70% of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) coming from road maintenance, easily, with just one drum, while ensuring environment respect and high-quality hot-mix-asphalt (HMA). The TSX InCity features the patented TSX technology, composed of two Ermont patented processes, conceived to minimise the environmental impact of asphalt production: the DUOTHERM process, allowing for RAP drying and heating without damage by double thermal exchange with aggregates at MODERATE temperature AND gases at MODERATE temperature to protect the RAP binder and reduce emissions, in order to guarantee the high quality of the recycled HMA. And the ECOFIRE process, unique in the world, which allows for energy recovery from gases and ensures that the burner operates with regulated heated combustion air in order to optimize the combustion performance of the burner regardless of ambient temperature conditions while reducing energy consumption.

The TSX HIGHWAY (mobile version) goes even further to decarbonize road construction jobs and reduce as much as possible the different levels of greenhouse gases emissions thanks to: Recycling (up to 70% and decrease of raw materials needed - bitumen and aggregates - and of associated CO₂ emissions - production and transportation -, resources protection; Mobility (extreme mobility, able to be commissioned as close as possible to the job location, and thus decreasing HMA and raw materials transportation logistics and associated CO₂  emissions); Energy (technical solutions implemented on the TSX to achieve the lowest energy consumptions possible and thus decreasing CO₂ emissions accordingly).

Low height and low visual impact prove the TSX plants are ideal to integrate into the neighbouring environment; low emissions and noise nuisance guarantee comfort and respect of users and the surrounding areas; proving Ermont efforts to support customers in their quest towards eco-responsible road construction sites.
