TM 5-3895-374-10 the  asphalt  cement  being  used  is  obtained  from  the  refinery  delivery  slip  and  is  recorded  into  the  controller.    A  detailed description of the plant operation is contained in Section 2-12 through 2-21. 1-17. Controlling the Mix The specific amount of each aggregate required is fed from the four bin feeder across a conveyor belt scale and weighed. The  blending  controller  automatically  proportions  the  asphalt  cement  required  for  the  weighted  amount  of  aggregate entering the drum mixer.  As the aggregate feed rate varies the asphalt cement feed rate is varied.  The operator controls the plant production rate through the blending controller.  The surge bin allows the plant to continuously mix asphalt while trucks  are  being  loaded  and  while  they  are  hauling  mix  to  the  paving  site.    Mix  control  is  accomplished  by  the  blending controller during automatic operation.  The operator controls the production rate of the plant,  monitors mix characteristics and plant operations.  A detailed description of the plant operation is contained in section 2-12 through 2-21. page 1-24
