Igubu likwaxhonywe kwithambeka elincinane. Nangona kunjalo, i-igniter ibekwe kwindawo ephezulu apho i-aggregate ingena kwigubu. I-dehumidification kunye nenkqubo yokufudumala, kunye nokongezwa kunye nokuxuba i-asphalt eshushu kunye ne-powder mineral (ngamanye amaxesha kunye ne-additives okanye iifibers), zonke zigqitywe kwi-drum. Umxube we-asphalt ogqityiweyo udluliselwa kwidramu ukuya kwitanki yokugcina okanye isithuthi sokuthutha.

Igubu licandelo elisetyenziswe kuzo zombini iintlobo zezityalo zokuxuba i-asphalt, kodwa indlela yokusetyenziswa iyahluka. Igubu lixhotyiswe ngepleyiti yokuphakamisa, ephakamisa i-aggregate xa igubu lijika kwaye livumela ukuba liwe ngokuhamba komoya oshushu. Kwizityalo eziphazamisayo, i-plate yokuphakamisa i-drum ilula kwaye icacile; kodwa ukuyila kunye nokusetyenziswa kwezityalo eziqhubekayo zinzima ngakumbi. Ngokuqinisekileyo, kukho indawo yokucima kwi-drum, injongo yayo kukuthintela ilangatye le-igniter ukuba liqhagamshelane ngokuthe ngqo ne-aggregate.
Eyona ndlela isebenzayo yokumisa kunye nokutshisa i-aggregate kukufudumala ngokuthe ngqo, okufuna ukusetyenziswa kwe-igniter ukuqondisa ilangatye ngqo kwi-drum. Nangona iinqununu ezisisiseko ze-igniter kwiintlobo ezimbini zezityalo zokuxuba i-asphalt zifana, ubukhulu kunye nokuma komlilo kunokuhluka.
Nangona zininzi iindlela zokuyila idrafti yabalandeli, zimbini kuphela iintlobo zeefeni zedrafti ze-centrifugal eziqhele ukusetyenziswa kwizityalo zokuxuba i-asphalt: abalandeli be-radial impeller centrifugal kunye nabalandeli be-centrifugal abangasemva. Ukukhethwa kohlobo lwe-impeller kuxhomekeke kuyilo lwezixhobo zokuqokelela uthuli ezinxulumene nalo.
Inkqubo yeflue ephakathi komgqomo, idrafti yedrafti fan, umqokeleli wothuli kunye nezinye izinto ezinxulumene nazo ziya kuchaphazela iimeko zokusebenza zeplanti yokuxuba i-asphalt. Ubude kunye nolwakhiwo lwemibhobho kufuneka lucwangciswe ngononophelo, kwaye inani lemibhobho kwiinkqubo eziphazamisayo likhulu kunoko kwiinkqubo eziqhubekayo, ngakumbi xa kukho uthuli oludadayo kwisakhiwo esikhulu kwaye kufuneka ilawulwe ngokufanelekileyo.
