A secondary furnace device is adapted to heat the paved area to a second predetermined temperature via a multi-stage process having at least two heating zones interspersed with at least one soaking zone. A heater/shaver is adapted to heat the paved area to a third predetermined temperature and to shave the heated paved area to a predetermined depth to create a first mixture located upon a substrate. A mixer/finisher is adapted to collect the first mixture, mix the first mixture, and produce recycled pavement. The primary furnace device, secondary furnace device, heater/shaver, and mixer/finisher travel in series along the paved area in a longitudinal direction. A method of recycling pavement is also provided.
