Geske and Sons Inc. Asphalt Plant

Geske and Sons Inc. is a family-owned asphalt production plant located in Crystal Lake, Illinois. Founded in 1964, the company has been producing high-grade asphalt for over 50 years. The plant operates in a unique and innovative way, using a combination of asphalt mixing and storage technologies to give customers the highest quality asphalt available.

At Geske and Sons Inc., the asphalt mixing process begins with the gathering of raw materials. The company utilizes a continuous mix process in which the materials are blended together and heated to an optimal temperature. The heated asphalt is then discharged into a storage silo, where it is stored until it is ready for use.

The asphalt mixture is then taken to the asphalt plant, where it is loaded into a hot-mixing drum. The drum contains a set of rotating blades that continuously blend and mix the asphalt mixture. This process ensures that the asphalt is evenly mixed and distributed throughout the drum. Once the asphalt mixture is ready, it is discharged into a storage container, where it is kept until it is ready for use.

Geske and Sons Inc.'s storage technology allows them to keep asphalt mixture for extended periods of time without compromising its quality or freshness. The company also uses a computerized system to track and monitor the asphalt mixture throughout the storage process. This ensures that the asphalt is always in its optimal condition when it is ready for use.

The final step in the asphalt mixing process is the application of the asphalt mixture onto the road or surface being paved. The asphalt is spread evenly across the surface and then rolled to ensure proper compaction. This process ensures that the asphalt is properly adhered to the surface and will last for years to come.

Geske and Sons Inc. is committed to providing customers with the highest quality asphalt available. The company's innovative mixing and storage technologies ensure that their asphalt mix is always of the highest quality. With a long history of producing asphalt, the company is proud to offer customers a reliable and efficient solution to their asphalt needs.
