Yes it can. However, in order to optimize the low energy process, it is necessary to first coat the heated coarse aggregate fraction with asphalt binder before introducing the wet sand fraction into the mix through the RAP collar. In some plants, this may require a slight modification to the existing plant to move the asphalt further into the drum.
