H&B BATCH PLANTS
“A Tradition of Excellence since 1867”

When Hetherington and Berner (H&B) built its first hot mix asphalt facility in 1894, a tradition of excellence began that has yet to be surpassed in the industry. As the oldest manufacturer of asphalt batch mixing plants in the world, H&B has amassed over 3000 installations worldwide to its credit; more than any other manufacturer.

As the most senior member of the Gencor family, H&B is the most recognized name in asphalt with a reputation of superior engineering and durable construction design. These massive structures are capable of producing up to 600 tons per hour of hot mix asphalt, with the incredible flexibility of producing over 250 variations in recipe and mix design to suit individual requirements.

Quality design, massive construction and uncompromising flexibility are what have afforded H&B the lions share of the batch plant market year after year.

The H&B Advantage

The H&B batch plant offers advantages unavailable in competitors’ products. Construction benefits include a massive tower built with heavier, sturdier materials for long life and low maintenance. Modular tower sections supported by reinforced legs are constructed of heavy plate. In fact, our plants are usually twenty percent heavier than those of our competitors.

Ease-of-use features include oversized access and inspection doors and OSHA-approved ladder access, toe kickplates and hand rails for safe access during tower maintenance.

In addition to innovative pneumatic and electrical features, H&B Batch Plants are equipped with the heaviest mixer gear reducer in the industry. An independent exhaust purge system evacuates both the elevator and mixer making it the most environmentally clean operating batch plant in the industry.
