Asphalt repair and road surface maintenance just became faster, cleaner and more sustainable with the release of the SIMEX ART 1000 Gen II.
This innovative solution allows for asphalt regeneration without removing milled material or introducing new aggregates, setting a new standard in road maintenance efficiency.
At the core of the SIMEX ART 1000 is a patented technology specifically designed to regenerate bituminous conglomerate using 100% of the existing material on site.
There’s no need to add external materials or remove what’s already in place—making this solution as environmentally friendly as it is cost-effective.
A multi-stage process in one efficient machine
During operation, the ART 1000 Gen II performs multiple functions in a single pass:
- Milling the deteriorated section of road
- Controlled injection of rejuvenating agents, automatically adjusted based on milling depth and machine speed
- Granulation of the milled material to the ideal grain size
- Final mixing, producing a homogenous, ready-to-use recycled conglomerate
The regenerated mix is then redeposited directly into the milled area, ready to be levelled and compacted using standard tools like rollers or vibrating plates.
A greener, smarter way to repair roads
By reusing all materials on-site, the SIMEX ART 1000 not only eliminates waste but also reduces the need for new asphalt mixes and raw aggregates. This translates into:
- Lower operational costs
- Minimal traffic disruption
- Immediate road usability post-repair
Such sustainability also aligns with modern environmental and operational standards, making it a smart investment for forward-thinking municipalities and contractors.
Ideal for common surface distresses:
- Alligator or branch cracking
- Surface bumps, dips or ripples
- Potholes and joint gaps
- Localised wear or aggregate smoothing
- Temporary repairs requiring high-speed turnaround
Key advantages:
- Rapid, long-lasting surface restoration
- Minimal crew and equipment required
- Zero material procurement and transport costs
- No waste generation
- Regeneration can be repeated during future maintenance cycles
With an operating depth of 30-60mm, the ART 1000 Gen II is ideal for functional maintenance and surface distress restoration, ensuring safer roads and smoother rides with fewer resources.
