Screened asphalt millings, also known as screened RAP, reclaimed asphalt pavement, recycled asphalt aggregate, or processed asphalt millings, are recycled pavement materials that have been screened to remove oversized pieces and create a more consistent particle size. Compared with unscreened millings, the more uniform gradation makes the material easier to spread, grade, compact, and finish across driveways, roads, parking areas, and construction sites.
Produced from milled or removed asphalt pavement, the material contains a mixture of crushed aggregate and residual asphalt binder. Screening removes larger chunks and irregular pieces, creating a more workable recycled aggregate that can be placed with standard grading and compaction equipment.
When properly placed and mechanically compacted, screened asphalt millings can form a firm, stable driving surface capable of supporting regular vehicle and equipment traffic. The smaller particles pack together more evenly than unscreened material, while residual binder within the asphalt can contribute to surface cohesion depending on the source material, temperature, weather conditions, and level of compaction.
Screened asphalt millings are commonly used by homeowners, paving contractors, builders, farms, property managers, municipalities, and commercial operators looking for a recycled material for driveways, access roads, parking areas, construction entrances, and general site improvement. The consistent particle size is especially useful on projects where easier grading and a smoother finished surface are preferred over rough, unscreened RAP.
For driveway and access-road projects, screened millings can be placed over a properly prepared and compacted base to create a finished driving surface. They are also used for resurfacing existing gravel or millings surfaces, repairing worn areas, building up low sections, and improving traffic areas around commercial properties, farms, equipment yards, and construction sites.
Screened asphalt millings can also be used as a recycled base or sub-base material beneath new pavement where allowed by the project specification. In roadwork and site-development projects, RAP may be incorporated into pavement construction, temporary access routes, haul roads, and other applications where recycled aggregate can replace or supplement virgin material.
Exact particle size, asphalt content, color, and consistency can vary depending on the pavement source, processing method, and supplier. For larger residential, contractor, agricultural, municipal, or commercial projects, screened asphalt millings are commonly supplied in bulk and delivered by dump truck directly to the property or job site.
Common Applications of Screened Asphalt Millings
