Lintec & Linnhoff continues to set new benchmarks in road construction efficiency and environmental responsibility with the recent installation of a Lintec CSD1510 Asphalt Mixing Plant in central Romania. Operated by Drumuri Și Poduri SA Sibiu, a company specialising in road repairs and maintenance, the plant is playing a critical role in enhancing infrastructure near the historic city of Sibiu, Transylvania.
Replacing an older and smaller unit, the new asphalt plant brings state-of-the-art technology and compact design to a site where space constraints once limited production capacity. The Lintec CSD1510, with a capacity of 120 tph, was selected for its proven ability to deliver high-quality asphalt with outstanding energy efficiency and environmental performance.
Ștefan Pătrașcu, area sales manager for East Europe, Lintec & Linnhoff, said: “In projects like these, where precision and performance are non-negotiable, the Lintec CSD1510 is a game changer. Its space-efficient layout, cutting-edge Screen Drum Technology, and fully electric heating systems make it an ideal solution for modern road maintenance operations. This installation is a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality across every stage, from layout and design to manufacturing and commissioning.”
At the heart of the CSD1510 is its fuel-optimised Screen Drum Technology, which ensures best-in-class energy usage without compromising output. An integrated hot storage tower allows for seamless asphalt supply, even in high-demand conditions, while the advanced dust processing system reclaims filler material, further reducing waste.
A standout feature of this installation is its 100% electric heating systems for both the tower and bitumen tanks, as well as the accompanying bitumen emulsion plant. Later this year, the system will be connected to a solar panel array, enabling a portion of the plant’s power consumption to be met with renewable energy—a crucial step toward more sustainable asphalt production.
Mihai Lisan, general manager of Drumuri Și Poduri SA Sibiu, praised the plant’s performance: “The Lintec CSD1510 has exceeded our expectations, particularly in terms of fuel efficiency and product consistency. Its innovative features have allowed us to upgrade our operations significantly, without expanding our footprint. We’re proud to lead the way in adopting cleaner, smarter road-building solutions.”
This is not the first time a Lintec asphalt mixing plant has played a role in Romania’s infrastructure development. At a production site located approximately 100 km from Bucharest, a Lintec CSM3000 Containerised Asphalt Mixing Plant was installed in 2021 to replace a long-serving Lintec CSD1500 that had operated successfully for over 12 years. While the CSD1500 had delivered excellent results with its 120 tons per hour output, growing demand prompted the customer to upgrade to the CSM 3000, which offers double the production capacity and ensures continued operational efficiency.
The success of this project builds on Lintec & Linnhoff’s growing presence in the region, with another 160t/h plant recently delivered to the city of Târgoviște. The company’s reputation for quality and technical excellence continues to attract operators looking for future-ready solutions in demanding environments.
