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 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 . <EOS>
