The new plant at Belags AG Birmenstorf (canton Aargau, Switzerland) successfully went into operation in mid April 2010. The plant was able to take up production as planned despite severe winter conditions over a number of weeks.

The plant is the first in Switzerland to be equipped with a drum capable of processing 100% reclaimed asphalt. In contrast to current concepts, this system enables an increase in the proportion of reclaimed asphalt of up to 100%. The new development is a contribution from Ammann towards processing the ever increasing quantities of reclaimed asphalt (RA) and a ground-breaking step towards cost-consciously recycling natural resources.
