The Lintec CSD2500B Containerised Asphalt Mixing Plant is driving major infrastructure projects across four continents.
The Lintec CSD2500B Containerised Asphalt Mixing Plant is revolutionising the way roads are built and maintained. These unique, modular plants, built together and within 100 per cent ISO-certified sea containers, offer significant advantages in terms of cost-efficiency, energy savings, and mobility.
The Lintec CSD2500B is ideal for any job site and has worked on several prominent infrastructure projects worldwide. The CSD2500B offers tremendous benefits to owners who choose to use it as a permanent plant, as the components that are built-in, enclosed and protected within the container wall extend the lifespan of all the whole plant.
John Glossat, National Business Development Manager, Tutt Bryant says, through its distributor agreement, the company is thrilled to bring the Lintec CSD2500B Containerised Asphalt Mixing Plant to Australia.
“These modular, ISO-certified containerised plants are transforming how roads are built and maintained, offering unmatched advantages in cost efficiency, energy savings, and mobility,” he says. “Our partnership with Lintec & Linnhoff reflects our commitment to Australia’s infrastructure needs with advanced, sustainable, and resilient construction solutions.”
In Africa, the Lintec CSD2500B worked on a 14.2-kilometre critical highway project in Abidjan Côte d’Ivoire as the country prepared for the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations, creating numerous jobs for the local community, improving the economy and social development in Egypt. The Lintec CSD2500B supported the construction of a vital road link, connecting Aswan’s industrial areas with the main Cairo highway. The Lintec CSD2500B began production in February 2023 and mixed over 300,000 tonnes of asphalt for the project, with an average output of 900 tonnes per production day. In South America, the Lintec CSD2500B was central in expanding a major road corridor between two of Bolivia’s largest cities – Cochabamba and Santa Cruz. Bolivia has no railways and relies heavily on road transport, so the highway expansion was vital to increasing business and community growth between the two cities.
This project, part of the worldwide Belt and Road initiative adopted by the Chinese Government, was deliberately started at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic to get the job done with minimal disruption to businesses and communities. However, it presented a challenge for Lintec & Linnhoff as the company had to install and commission 100 per cent remotely. Despite this, the project team successfully overcame these challenges, as the plant’s design made it easier and faster to install compared to a conventional plant.
In Micronesia, the Lintec CSD2500B played a key role in the Yap Island airport rehabilitation project, producing 26,000 tonnes of hot mix asphalt for the 6400 feet-long runway. Located in the western Pacific Ocean almost 900 miles due east of the Philippines, the airport runway was due for improvement to support international connections to Guam and Palau.
In addition, in October 2024, the Lintec CSD2500B was selected to help increase essential road-building activities on three major projects in Jordan. The installation and commissioning process of the Lintec CSD2500B plant was completed in just one month, including delivery, testing, and full operational setup, allowing the plant to begin production swiftly.
The first project, which started in May 2024 in collaboration with the Greater Amman Municipality, involves the construction of 500,000 square metres of roads across the outskirts of Amman, with daytime shifts and a 40-day timeline.
The second project, also with Greater Amman Municipality, began in July 2024 and focuses on 800,000 square metres of main road development, with ongoing night shifts to expedite completion.
The third project, set to begin in April 2025 for Mafraq Municipality, will cover 250,000 square metres of main roads, with delivery expected 30 working days after commencement.

The Lintec proposition
The Lintec CSD2500B’s components built within the containers are protected from the elements, ensuring a longer lifespan and reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements. This level of durability is critical in Australia, where extreme weather conditions can take a toll on infrastructure.
One of the standout features of the Lintec CSD2500B is its ease of transportation and installation.
Its modular design allows for the plant to be easily moved to various project sites, making it ideal for both small and large-scale infrastructure projects.
This portability, combined with the fact that the plant can be erected and dismantled quickly, ensures that road construction projects can be completed on time, while also reducing labour costs and delays. In an industry where time is money, this feature is particularly valuable, as it reduces costs and enhances productivity.
The Lintec CSD2500B’s Double Screen Drum Technology also offers considerable energy savings. By combining the heating and screening processes into a single unit, Lintec’s system eliminates the heat loss typically associated with traditional asphalt plants. Additionally, the minimal to no requirement of heavy concrete foundations further cuts costs, making the Lintec CSD2500B a highly attractive option for infrastructure projects across Australia.
Alan Ong, General Manager, Sales – Lintec & Linnhoff says Australia’s diverse and challenging terrain requires equipment that can withstand the natural elements while delivering high output.
“The Lintec CSD2500B stands out not just for its rugged construction, but also for the way it optimises resources. With its Double Screen Drum Technology, we’re saving energy on every batch, which is crucial as we aim to lower emissions and build sustainably for the future,” he says.
Australia’s road network
Australia’s road network, renowned for its vast scale and high standards, plays a critical role in the country’s economic and social fabric. Spanning everything from sleek urban highways to rugged outback trails, this expansive system requires constant maintenance and technological advancement to meet the demands of the population.
In recent years, the Australian Government has recognised this need and committed substantial funding towards infrastructure development, particularly focusing on roads. The 2023-24 budget allocated $40.8 billion to roads, contributing to the nation’s economic growth while driving sustainability and efficiency through technological innovation.
Australia’s road network is not just expanding in size, but also advancing in sustainability and efficiency. The Lintec CSD2500B’s energy-efficient design, which reduces wear and tear and minimises transportation costs, aligns with Australia’s broader goals of reducing carbon emissions and promoting eco-friendly infrastructure solutions.
The integration of such sustainable technologies into road construction ensures that Australia’s road network will continue to thrive, even as the population grows and the demand for transportation infrastructure increases.
As Australia’s road network continues to expand, there is an increasing reliance on cutting-edge technology to streamline construction processes and enhance the longevity of road infrastructure.
Lintec & Linnhoff’s CSD2500B Containerised Asphalt Mixing Plants represent one such technological innovation that is transforming the road construction landscape.
