A method of producing, in a continuous plant, a bituminous conglomerate containing aggregates and at least bitumen comprises the steps of drying the aggregates and mixing them with a measured amount of at least the incoming bitumen to form the bituminous conglomerate; weighing the obtained bituminous conglomerate; calculating the amount of dry aggregates present in the conglomerate as the difference between the detected weight of the obtained bituminous conglomerate and the measured amount of at least bitumen; and adjusting in real time the amount of at least the incoming bitumen depending on the calculated amount of dry aggregates, so as to keep this bitumen amount within preestablished proportions with respect to the calculated amount of dry aggregates.

1. A method of producing, in a continuous plant, a bituminous conglomerate containing aggregates and at least bitumen, comprising the steps of:drying the aggregates and mixing them with a measured amount of incoming bitumen to form the bituminous conglomerate;weighing the obtained bituminous conglomerate;calculating the amount of dry aggregates present in the conglomerate as the difference between the detected weight of the obtained bituminous conglomerate and said measured amount of bitumen;adjusting in real time at least the amount of incoming bitumen depending on the calculated amount of dry aggregates, so as to keep this bitumen amount within preestablished proportions with respect to the calculated amount of dry aggregates. 2. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein a filler is added to the bituminous conglomerate. 3. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein measurement of the incoming bitumen amount is obtained through measurement in real time of the weight reduction of a container from which bitumen is taken up. 4. A method as claimed in claim 2, wherein measurement of the filler amount is obtained through measurement in real time of the weight reduction of a container from which filler is taken up. 5. A method as claimed in claim 2, wherein filler, bitumen and aggregates are mixed in a drier-mixer unit comprising a mixer and an oven. 6. A method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the fumes coming out of the oven are filtered to recover excess filler which is stored for possible reuse of same in the production process. 7. A continuous plant for producing a bituminous conglomerate containing aggregates and at least bitumen, comprising a drier-mixer unit ( 14 ) to which feed means ( 13 , 18 , 22 ) sends bitumen and aggregates so as to form the bituminous conglomerate, characterised in that it comprises means ( 29 , 30 ) for measuring the amounts of bitumen sent to the drier-mixer unit, means ( 25 , 27 ) for weighing the bituminous conglomerate coming out of the unit, and a control system ( 28 ) calculating the amount of dry aggregates present in the outgoing conglomerate as the difference between the weight of the bituminous conglomerate detected by the weighing means ( 25 , 27 ) and the amounts of bitumen detected by the means ( 29 , 30 ) for measuring said amounts, the control system operating the bitumen feed means ( 18 , 22 ) so as to adjust in real time at least the amount of bitumen entering the unit ( 14 ), depending on the calculated amount of dry aggregates, so as to keep this bitumen amount within preestablished proportions with respect to the calculated amount of dry aggregates. 8. A plant as claimed in claim 7, characterised in that the conglomerate weighing means comprises a hopper ( 25 ) provided with weighing sensors ( 27 ) and in which the drier-mixer unit ( 14 ) carries out the conglomerate discharge. 9. A plant as claimed in claim 7, characterised in that the means measuring the bitumen amount sent to the drier-mixer unit comprises a hopper ( 16 ) with weight-detecting sensors ( 19 ) from which bitumen is taken up by said bitumen feed means ( 18 ) to be sent to the drier-mixer unit ( 14 ), further bitumen feed means ( 17 ) being present for controlled filling of said hopper ( 16 ) with bitumen taken up from a bitumen deposit ( 11 ). 10. A plant as claimed in claim 9, characterised in that said bitumen feed means comprises a sucking pump ( 18 ) to draw bitumen from the hopper ( 16 ). 11. A plant as claimed in claim 9, characterised in that the weight-detecting sensors comprise load cells ( 19 ) from which the bitumen hopper ( 16 ) is suspended. 12. A plant as claimed in claim 7, characterised in that it comprises means for measured addition of filler to the bitumen. 13. A plant as claimed in claim 12, characterised in that the means for filler addition comprises a hopper ( 20 ) provided with weight-detecting sensors ( 23 ) and from which the filler is taken up by filler feed means ( 22 ) to be sent to the dri er-mixer unit ( 14 ), further filler feed means ( 21 ) being present for controlled filling of said hopper ( 20 ) with filler picked up from a filler deposit ( 12 ). 14. A plant as claimed in claim 13, characterised in that said feed means comprises a screw conveyor ( 22 ) to pick up the filler from the hopper ( 20 ). 15. A plant as claimed in claim 13, characterised in that said weight-detecting sensors comprise load cells ( 23 ) from which the filler hopper ( 20 ) is suspended. 16. A plant as claimed in claim 12, characterised in that the fumes coming out of the drier-mixer unit ( 14 ) are caused to pass through a filtering plant ( 31 ) recovering the excess filler carried along by said fumes and sending it to a filler deposit ( 12 ) for reuse of said filler. 17. A plant as claimed in claim 7, characterised in that the drier-mixer unit comprises a drying region and a mixing region, the aggregates being fed to the unit by introduction into the drying region and the bitumen and possible filler being fed to the unit by introduction into the mixing region.
