An apparatus for regenerating scrap pavement materials containing asphalt components in admixture with cement components, comprising:
- a stationary tunnel and hot water spray means mounted within said tunnel;
- conveying means movable linearly through said tunnel for receiving the scrap pavement material and for conveying the material through said tunnel wherein the material is heated by contact with the hot water spray and the asphalt components are thereby softened;
- collecting means, disposed along the length of said tunnel and beneath said conveying means for collecting water and matter washed from said scrap material by said spray means;
- and
- separating means for receipt of the scrap pavement material from said conveying means and for separating the material.
