The Alabama-based Hosea O Weaver and Sons are satisfied with the Astec asphalt plant purchased in last September. According to Michael Weaver, Vice President, Hosea O. Weaver and Sons, "When we first decided we were in the market for a plant, we had a tight timeframe. We went to Astec. They suggested a stock plant-a Dillman plant being built that was basically an Astec design of a Super Six Pack? on everything but the drum and the baghouse, which were the Dillman design of the Unified drum and the reversed pulse baghouse." Hosea O. Weaver and Sons expected to get running quickly and then work out kinks along the way. It would be reasonable to expect a learning curve. Instead, the plant took off without a hitch and exceeded their expectations.
