A method of producing an asphalt pavement, wherein asphalt is fed to a road finishing machine having an inlet space, a screed, and a belt conveyor forming a bottom of the inlet space and conveying the asphalt to the screed for leveling the layer of asphalt and partially compacting it to a desired shape, said method comprising: a) providing a supply arrangement for supplying asphalt to the belt conveyor, said supply arrangement being adapted to be fitted in the inlet space and including: - a rotary vessel having a top inlet for receiving the asphalt and a bottom outlet for discharging the asphalt, the bottom outlet being smaller than the top inlet; b) positioning the supply arrangement in the inlet space; c) charging asphalt in the rotary vessel, d) rotating the rotary vessel to homogenize the asphalt as to particle size and temperature; and e) continuously letting asphalt flow from the bottom outlet of the rotary vessel down onto the belt conveyor, characterized by, providing - a frame supporting the rotary vessel; - a bearing arrangement carried by the frame and carrying the vessel rotatably; - a motor carried by the frame for enabling rotation of the rotary vessel; and - a transmission for transmitting a rotation provided by the motor to the rotary vessel, and further by positioning a distributing device under the bottom outlet of the rotary vessel and above the belt conveyor, comprising two parallel outer frame members (90, 91) extending in the feed direction of the belt conveyor; and at least one dividing member extending transversely from one outer frame member to the other, the at least one dividing member being adapted to be spaced from the belt conveyor by a gap (g), and by: - dividing the flow of asphalt from the bottom outlet into a plurality of layers by making the asphalt pass through passages on each side of the at least one dividing member to the belt conveyor; and - feeding the plurality of homogenized asphalt layers on top of one another by the belt conveyor. a) providing a supply arrangement for supplying asphalt to the belt conveyor, said supply arrangement being adapted to be fitted in the inlet space and including: - a rotary vessel having a top inlet for receiving the asphalt and a bottom outlet for discharging the asphalt, the bottom outlet being smaller than the top inlet; - a rotary vessel having a top inlet for receiving the asphalt and a bottom outlet for discharging the asphalt, the bottom outlet being smaller than the top inlet; b) positioning the supply arrangement in the inlet space; c) charging asphalt in the rotary vessel, d) rotating the rotary vessel to homogenize the asphalt as to particle size and temperature; and e) continuously letting asphalt flow from the bottom outlet of the rotary vessel down onto the belt conveyor, - a frame supporting the rotary vessel; - a bearing arrangement carried by the frame and carrying the vessel rotatably; - a motor carried by the frame for enabling rotation of the rotary vessel; and - a transmission for transmitting a rotation provided by the motor to the rotary vessel, and - dividing the flow of asphalt from the bottom outlet into a plurality of layers by making the asphalt pass through passages on each side of the at least one dividing member to the belt conveyor; and - feeding the plurality of homogenized asphalt layers on top of one another by the belt conveyor.
