Abstract
A portable and self-erecting plant for the batch production of asphalt, and wherein the several components of the plant are split into two subassemblies which are initially mounted to the front and rear portions of a roadway transportable main frame. The front subassembly may be lifted to a first temporary position and then moved rearwardly to overlie the rear subassembly. The two subassemblies may then be interconnected to form an operational plant, which may be then lifted to its operating position as a unit. A separate elevator is provided which is also roadway transportable, and the elevator may be pivotally connected to the main frame so that it may be raised to an operative vertical position adjacent the plant.
