System and method for generating tire rubber asphalt
A method and system for generating a tire rubber asphalt compound is described. The method includes receiving an asphalt compound and heating the asphalt compound to approximately 320° F. to 420° F. The method then proceeds to add tire rubber to the asphalt compound. The asphalt compound and the scrap tire rubber are mixed for approximately 60 minutes to 360 minutes during heating to approximately 525° F. to 700° F. to generate the tire rubber asphalt compound. The tire rubber asphalt compound is then cooled.
