Ngokwezindlela ezihlukene zokuxuba, izitshalo zokuxuba i-asphalt zingahlukaniswa zibe yimishini yesikhashana ephoqelelwe kanye nemishini yokukhiqiza eqhubekayo. Ngokwendlela yokuthutha, ingahlukaniswa ngezinhlobo ezingaguquki, ezingaguquki kanye neselula. Umgomo wayo wokusebenza ngokuyinhloko uwukuxuba izinto zokusetshenziswa ezihlukahlukene ngokwengxenye ethile, bese uhambisa izithako emishinini yokuxuba ukuze kuxutshwe ngokugcwele ukukhiqiza ukhonkolo we-asphalt. Phakathi nenqubo yokukhiqiza, isistimu yokulawula iqapha futhi ilungise yonke inqubo yokukhiqiza ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuzinza kwenqubo yokukhiqiza kanye nekhwalithi yomkhiqizo.
