To facilitate the removal of recycled material staying at the lower end of the casing of a bucket elevator in a plant for recycling asphalt waste and prevent the deposition of a staying recycled material by installing an opening at the lower part of the casing.
In a plant for recycling a asphalt waste, an opening 4 is installed for removing a recycled material R, which has fallen from a bucket elevator 2 for conveying a thermally dried recycle material R and is staying at the lower end of a casing of the elevator 2, at the lower part 3 of the casing, The opening 4 is equipped with an opening-and-closing lid 5, an opening-and-closing mechanism (e.g. an actuator 6) for operating the lid 5 by power, and a sensor 7 for detecting the recycled material R staying at the lower part 3 of the casing. A control mechanism is also installed which operates the opening-and-closing mechanism when the staying recycled material is detected by the sensor 7.
