NCC asphalt plant modernization in Sweden nears completion

Milestone reached as second phase of ambitious modernization project successfully installed 

A NEW chapter is unfolding at NCC’s asphalt plant in Sweden as the second phase of its ambitious modernization project hits a major milestone. The project is moving steadily toward creating a next-generation, future-ready facility that balances productivity with sustainability.

Following the successful installation of the Ammann RAH100 dryer – a state-of-the-art hot-air recycling system – the plant is now equipped to dramatically increase its use of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP).

This innovation not only boosts efficiency but also sets a new benchmark in sustainable road construction practices. The RAH100 system delivers ultra-low emissions, thanks to Ammann’s patented air-treatment process, and is said to offer the lowest maintenance costs in the market, making it a game-changer for both the environment and operational budgets.

Supporting this transformation is a comprehensive electrical retrofit, which includes the implementation of Ammann’s latest AS1 control system. This upgrade ensures seamless operation and allows for precise management of every component in the production line, from drying to mixing, making the plant smarter and more responsive to modern demands.

With these critical components now in place, the next step is commissioning the plant. This phase will rigorously test the integrated systems, fine-tune performance, and ensure safety and compliance across all operations. Once commissioning is complete, the plant will officially begin production, marking the full realization of this phase of modernization.

According to Ammann, what lies ahead is not just the startup of a newly retrofitted facility – but the launch of a production plant that will stand as a model for the asphalt industry, combining technical excellence with environmental responsibility.
