Their IntelliPack system uses infrared sensing to replace manual moisture testing with real-time plant corrections, improving mix consistency and fuel\/bitumen efficiency with reported savings up to $0.60\/ton and retrofit capability for non-Astec bins. The conversation also covers AI-assisted truck loadout accuracy, a portable self-erecting surge silo of up to 90 tons, and operator training programs. Finally, they explore Cold Central Plant Recycle (CCPR) and Astec's Remix plant, which produces 95%+ recycled ambient-temperature mix backed by long-term research, while noting barriers like RAP availability and agency specifications. \ud83d\udd17 Connect with Astec \ud83c\udf10 https:\/\/astecindustries.com\/  \ud83d\udd17 Connect with Marvin \ud83c\udf10 https:\/\/inthemixmj.com \ud83d\udcf8 https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/marvinjoles\/ \ud83d\udcf8 https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/inthemixmj\/ \u25b6\ufe0f https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@inthemixmj \ud83c\udfb5 https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@marvinjoles \ud83d\udcbc https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/marvin-joles-4b1b73130\/  \ud83e\udd1d Sponsors \ud83d\udd39 Moasure \ud83c\udf10 https:\/\/moasu.re\/Marvin \ud83d\udcb0 Save $20 \ud83d\udd39 Brunt Workwear \ud83c\udf10 https:\/\/www.bruntworkwear.com \ud83c\udf9f Promo Code: MJOLES10 \ud83d\udcb0 Save $10 on orders of $60+ \ud83d\udd39 Jobber \ud83c\udf10 https:\/\/go.getjobber.com\/Marvinjoles \ud83c\udf81 Free 14-Day Trial + 20% Off for 6 Months \ud83d\udd39 1st Phorm \ud83c\udf10 http:\/\/1stphorm.com\/inthemix \ud83d\ude9a Free Shipping on Orders Over $75 \ud83d\udd39 Portable Lighting Solutions \ud83c\udf10 https:\/\/portablelightingsolutions.net\/ \ud83d\udd39 ConExpo-Con\/Agg 2026 \ud83d\udccd March 3\u20137, 2026 \u2014 Las Vegas, NV \ud83c\udf10 https:\/\/www.conexpoconagg.com\/ \ud83d\udd39 KM International \ud83c\udf10 https:\/\/www.kminternational.com\/ \ud83d\udd39 Cemen Tech \ud83c\udf10 https:\/\/cementech.com\/ \ud83d\udd39 Bulk Source \ud83c\udf10 https:\/\/bulksource.com\/ \ud83d\udd39 Dream On 3 \ud83c\udf10 https:\/\/dreamon3.org\/  \ud83c\udf10 Visit Us Online \ud83d\udc49 https:\/\/inthemixmj.com  \ud83c\udf99 About In The Mix The In The Mix Podcast highlights the Asphalt Industry, the people who power it, and the organizations that support it.
