A plant that makes hot mix all day does not want to shut that plant down to make a pile of cold patch. A city yard does not want a truck on the road just to fetch it. UNIQUE needed a video that says the cold mix can be made in the yard they already have, while the hot plant keeps running. Beacon made that offer in a little over four minutes.
The video says the portable pugmill blends aggregate with their liquid at 75 to 350 tons an hour, and that the customer brings the aggregate, the loaders, and a place to store the pile. Those are the company's claims about its own service. They are not a Beacon production result. The video gives a plant manager and a public-works buyer the same picture: the mix shows up as a pile on their ground, not as a shutdown or a haul.
Another company hiring Beacon for a service video is buying the explanation a rate sheet never makes. This is not a machine UNIQUE is asking them to buy and staff. It is a crew and a portable mill that comes to the yard. A brochure can list paddles, a scale, and a printout in tons and gallons. A superintendent deciding whether to book the mill usually will not read that far. The video can. It can open a sales call, sit on the service page, or go to the plant that has been hauling cold mix from somewhere else.
UNIQUE did not need a longer tour of the machine. They needed the buyer to see that cold mix and hot mix do not have to take turns. That is what this video is for.

[00:00.000] What if we told you that you could run a hot mix and cold mix operation simultaneously? What if we told you you could have a pile of UPM cold mix made right in your own county, city, state or private business yard that would conveniently take care of all your permanent pavement repair needs? It's not only possible, but it's also a smarter way to work when you rely on the convenience and dependability of unique paving materials' high-volume portable pug mills. Just think about how it could impact your productivity, your product offerings, your customer service and overall sales, all at an affordable price.
[01:00.960] These portable machines are designed to mix your aggregate with an asphalt-based solution, most often our UPM liquid blend. This blend creates the industry's leading high-performance permanent repair cold mix solution and the only true once-and-done pothole repair material. Our pug mills create a consistently blended asphalt product at a rate of 75 to 350 tons per hour. That's the most flexible range of capacity in the industry.
[01:28.640] For an asphalt plant, this is a no hassle, no extra maintenance and no downtime process for your business, which saves you time and money. Also, there is no hassle cleaning and clearing your existing plant to accommodate a new application, which means no costly downtime. If you're a municipality yard, there's no need to send trucks miles away to pick up the product you need. You provide the aggregate, loaders and a place for storage and UNIQE will take care of the rest.
[01:58.040] Here's how our UNIQE pug mill service works. Back at the UNIQE lab, we analyze your local aggregate's coding capabilities when we specify a UNIQE pug mill service offering. UNIQE's chemists can custom formulate a high-performance cold mix solution to mix with your local aggregate. Or we can work with your existing mix formulation. Once the right formulation has been determined, it will be mixed on location with our portable pug mill unit.
[02:26.320] When the pug mill arrives, it will be positioned in the mixing area with the transport tanker, which can be unloaded from either side. Then aggregate is loaded into the pug mill hopper. The unit can be loaded from either side of the machine, for even greater flexibility than other on-site systems. The conveyor belt scale measures the precise amount of aggregate and the pug mill pumps the liquid blend from the tanker, adding it with more precision via the computer-controlled machine interface. A series of paddles then powerfully combines the aggregate and cold mix solution. The pug mill is also equipped with a hydraulically powered grizzly system designed to screen off frozen or oversized materials. Your custom blended cold mix is then piled and ready for immediate use.
[03:13.100] When you choose UNIQ's pug mill service for your cold mix operation, our integrated computer controls give machine operators with years of experience a convenient and comprehensive picture of the pug mill's operation, from start to finish. But our support doesn't stop there. UNIQ provides thorough documentation of each project for your records, complete with output in tons, pounds, and gallons.
