the apparatus 1 may optionally include a feed screen 59 as shown in fig3 the feed screen 59 should have sufficient structural strength to withstand the environment within the hopper 7 consistent with the forces and abusiveness involved during the placement of hot mix asphalt material in the hopper 7 and the removal of hot mix asphalt material from the hopper 7 for example the feed screen 59 may be constructed of criss crossing bars or rods 61 having a diameter of approximately 5 18 inch and the bars or rods 61 spaced on approximately 41 2 inch centers the feed screen 59 may be placed in abutting engagement with the elongate members 55 to provide additional support for the feed screen 59 the remixing conveyor system 5 of the present invention can be used in kit form to upgrade and convert existing asphalt paving machines and provide those asphalt paving machines with the ability to substantially or entirely eliminate segregation from hot mix asphalt material placed in those asphalt paving machines the parallel slat conveyors of existing asphalt paving machines each of which conveyor generally consists of two parallel chains with a multitude of transverse bars connected between them to convey hot mix asphalt material from the receiving hopper to the rear of the asphalt paving machine are removed and replaced with one of the feed auger assemblies 19 for each of the slat conveyors.
