*******************************************************************************

About 18 months ago I was forced to get a vaccine so I could enter Canada. It was a Moderna shot. As a result, I had two heart attacks and now have permanent nerve damage. I spent 6 months in and out of hospitals and was pretty sick, so I decided to retire and just lay around the house trying to recuperate. I wrote two novels and am just finishing a third, but I am bored to tears staring at these 4 walls.

I have decided to provide on-site personnel training and plant analytical appraisals at a reduced rate. I will offer a $500 per day discount. This means I am available for $1,250 per day + all expenses. Travel is billed at 50% of daily rate. Expenses are defined as Hotel, Per-diem, Fuel and CMC Vehicle.

Services Include:

  • Operator Training: Start Up/Shut Down procedures to minimize waste of materials & time.
  • Operational Training: Daily on-going operations. (Hot-Stops/Hot-Starts etc.)
  • Plant Troubleshooting: Train your people in procedures to identify and address problems.
  • Mix Design Compliance: As it relates to the asphalt plant. (Segregation, Calibration, etc.)
  • Burner Tuning: Train your people in procedures to properly tune your burner.
  • Drier Trunnion Adjustments: Train your people how to properly adjust trunnions

Consulting Help with your Plant Purchases

Looking to buy a new or used asphalt plant? Yes, I can help you. However, I should mention that I am not a plant broker. Plant brokers simply find you a plant, tack on 8% to 10% to the price, then sell you the thing. After that, they contact companies like mine to help you get it running.

Here at C.M. Consulting, we operate a little bit differently. First, we find out what you need, what you can afford, what the state requirements are for your area and what the EPA requirements are. Then we look through our inventory of ‘owner direct’ used plants to see if any of these would meet your needs. If so, we send you pictures and a description of the plant. If you are interested, we give you the owner’s name and number and you call them to work out whatever deal you can. We make money off the deal only if you hire our company to help you set the plant up and train your operator.

If a used plant does not fit your needs, we go to our extensive contacts among the new plant manufacturers. We then negotiate on your behalf to get you the correct equipment at the best price possible. If you are interested in their proposal, we put you in touch with the highest ranking individual we know in that company (in several cases it will be the owner). You, again, will negotiate your best direct price, cutting out the middle men and saving around 10%. As before, we make money off the deal only if you ask the manufacturer to hire our company to help you set the plant up and train your operator.

As you can see, we are a different kind of company, unique in the industry. We have extensive experience with many of the manufacturers, having installed new plants for many of them in some very exotic locations. I, personally, have been to 85 countries on 6 continents in the last 10 years.

I would suggest that your first goal should be to obtain the “conditional use” permit necessary to operate an asphalt plant on your existing property. At the same time you should contact the local air quality authority and apply for a “source permit”. This rather ominous sounding item is simply a permit to pollute– albeit in a limited and regulated manner. Next, you should contact whatever cities, counties and state entities that you hope to sell to and get a copy of their asphalt plant regulations. I do not charge anyone for phone consultations, so please call if I can be of any help.

Asphalt Plant Upgrades and Retrofits
CM Consulting specializes in plant upgrades and modifications. We solve low production issues, pollution compliance issues and efficiency problems. We can modernize your plant with the latest components, electronic controls, digital computer controls, burners and burner controls.
We build NEW Control Houses for Drum & Batch Plants, Sand Drying & Classifying Plants and Gold Processing Plants.
Burner and Systems ADP-100 Computer Control Panel. We are a Systems Dealer.
The Feeders and Asphalt Pump control Panel w/ammeters. We use Frequency Drives to control these motors.
This control house was built to fit an ADM-SPL-110 drum plant in Hawaii.
**********************************
We Build Generator Trailers to fit specific applications.
This is a power trailer we built for an asphalt plant on Maui in Hawaii.
We used a “Low-Hour” Detroit MTU 600 kW main Gen-Set. The exhaust goes out the side of the trailer because Hawaii Department of Health required that the generator’s exhaust exited at the same height of the plant’s main exhaust stack.
This is a John Deere 100 kW night time generator. The big muffler is for the main gen-set, but we can’t use it on Maui.
This is a 1,250 amp manual transfer switch built to allow changing between generators.
Call us with your power needs and we will quote you a portable unit like these. We can also build these into Shipping Containers. The Control Houses will fit in 20 footers, the generators in 40′.
