How to repair asphalt pavement?

With the development of science and technology, the emergence of emulsified asphalt tanks has brought great convenience to our work, and is widely used in every site. So what issues need to be paid attention to when filling emulsified asphalt tanks? Below, the editor will introduce to you the relevant knowledge structure diagram, hoping to be of some help to you.

The equipment of each part is used as follows: Water treatment system: Mechanical filtration of ordinary tap water absorbs resin exchange reactions, turning high-hardness tap water into pure soft water and reducing water tension. , enhance the emulsification effect of asphalt or modified asphalt.

What is an bitumen colloid mill used for? Everyone knows about colloid mill, but what about bitumen colloid mill?
Bitumen colloid mill is a high-tech multifunctional crushing and grinding equipment. The motor drives the rotating teeth and fixed teeth to rotate at high speed, generating a sharp speed gradient, which causes the boring to be strongly sheared, rubbed and turbulent, and finally achieves emulsification and dispersion. and homogenizing effect equipment.

Emulsified asphalt is an emulsion that disperses asphalt into the water phase to form a liquid at room temperature. This determines that emulsified asphalt has many technical and economic advantages over hot asphalt and diluted asphalt. We know that modified asphalt equipment is a road engineering machinery. In order to better promote users’ understanding of it, today the editor will introduce its characteristics to you so that users can better understand that modified asphalt equipment is used for modified asphalt. It consists of a main machine, a modifier feeding system, a finished product tank, a heat transfer oil reheating furnace and a microcomputer control system. The main machine is equipped with a mixing tank, a dilution tank, a colloid mill and an electronic weighing device. The entire production process is controlled by a computer automatic program. In addition, it can be learned that the product has the advantages of reliable quality, stable performance, accurate measurement, and convenient operation. It is an indispensable new equipment in highway construction. The advantages of asphalt equipment are prominently reflected in its two-way modification effect, that is, while greatly increasing the softening point of asphalt, it also significantly enhances the low-temperature ductility, improves the temperature sensitivity, and has a particularly large elasticity and recovery rate. The modified asphalt equipment has a long service life and a safe and reliable production process. The rotor and stator are specially heat treated, and the service life of the equipment is more than 15,000 hours.

Characteristics of micro-surfacing thin layer paving:
(1) It has a better sealing effect than ordinary hot asphalt overlay, which can prevent the infiltration of road surface water and better protect the road surface structure;
(2) Micro-surfacing is a quick construction solution for rutting repair;
(3) Compared with ordinary slurry seal, micro-surfacing has better wear resistance and anti-skid performance;
(4) Under the premise of stable roadbed and pavement, the service life of micro-surfacing construction can reach more than 5 years;
(5) Micro-surfacing paving adopts mechanized construction, with less manual work, fast construction speed and high efficiency;
(6) Compared with the traditional asphalt pavement maintenance method of milling and paving about 4cm hot mix asphalt concrete overlay, the unit area cost is lower;
(7) Fast opening to traffic, 1-2 hours after paving construction, it can be opened to traffic, reducing the impact of construction on traffic;
(8) Cold construction, no need for heating, energy saving and environmental protection.

The efficiency and quality of road maintenance are directly related to travel safety and regional development. In recent years, with the continuous growth of traffic volume and the increasing weight of vehicles, traditional pavement maintenance methods have become unable to meet the demands of modern construction. Slurry seal trucks, as highly efficient, environmentally friendly, and multifunctional pavement maintenance equipment, are emerging in the road construction industry with their unique advantages, becoming a valuable aid for maintenance workers.
The core advantages of slurry seal trucks lie in “simultaneous application” and “precise mixing ratio.” Traditional slurry seal application requires two steps: spraying tack coat and then spreading the slurry mixture. This not only increases the number of steps and time required, but can also affect interlayer bonding due to improper timing control. The slurry seal truck, with its advanced hydraulic control system, enables simultaneous spraying and spreading of tack coat and slurry mixture on the same machine, reducing application time by over 50%. This efficient construction capability is particularly important in hilly and mountainous terrain, effectively minimizing traffic disruptions and ensuring rapid road reopening.

The slurry sealer is a special equipment for road maintenance that we see in our lives. The slurry sealer is mainly used to deal with the decrease in surface wear resistance, cracks, etc. of the road, to improve the waterproofness and skid resistance of the road surface, thereby greatly improving the driving comfort and flatness inside, so as to achieve a new effect for the road surface. So what is the operation process of the slurry sealer?
Before starting the slurry sealer, you should be prepared to test the quality of the slurry sealer materials before construction. One of the most important points is to certify and inspect whether the content of emulsified asphalt can meet the requirements of the specification, and the mixture should also meet the requirements. After confirming the measurement standards, check that the road surface to be constructed should be dry, free of debris, water, flat, etc.

The slurry seal truck is mainly used for preventive maintenance of municipal pavement. It can improve the quality of the seal, effectively improve the integrity and crack resistance of the seal, extend the service life, and the construction process is simple without adding too many construction links. It is a kind of road maintenance equipment that has become quite popular in recent years.

As a professional manufacturer of emulsified asphalt equipment, we have long been dedicated to the production and research and development of high-quality asphalt equipment. To help you gain a more comprehensive understanding of our emulsified asphalt equipment, our professionals will now provide a brief explanation, which we believe will be helpful in understanding the product.
In an asphalt-water system, emulsifier molecules migrate between the asphalt and water interface. The hydrophobic groups of the molecules adsorb to the asphalt surface, imparting an electric charge, while the hydrophilic groups enter the aqueous phase. This bonds the asphalt particles to the water, reducing the interfacial tension between the two. Furthermore, because the asphalt particles have the same charge, they repel each other, preventing them from agglomerating, thus enabling the asphalt emulsion to maintain uniformity and stability for a certain period of time. The nature of the charge is determined by the charge of the hydrophobic groups or hydrocarbon chains of the emulsifier. If the charge is negative, the asphalt particles have a negative charge, and the resulting emulsion is anionic. Conversely, the emulsion is cationic. If the asphalt particles have both negative and positive charges, the emulsion is zwitterionic; there are also non-ionic asphalt liquids.

1 Common diseases of asphalt pavement
There are nine phenomena of early damage to asphalt pavement: rutting, cracks, and potholes. These diseases are the most common and serious, and are one of the common quality problems of highway projects.
1.1 Rutting
Rutting refers to the longitudinal strip grooves on the road surface along the wheel tracks, with a depth of more than 1.5cm. Rutting is a strip groove formed by the accumulation of permanent deformation of the road surface under the repeated action of vehicle load. Rutting reduces the smoothness of the road surface. When the rutting reaches a certain depth, due to the accumulation of water in the rutting, it is easy for cars to slide and cause traffic accidents. The main reasons for rutting are unreasonable design and serious overloading of vehicles.
1.2 Cracks
There are three main forms of cracks: longitudinal cracks, transverse cracks and mesh cracks. When cracks occur in asphalt pavement, water seepage occurs, which harms the surface layer and base layer.
1.3 Potholes
Potholes are common early diseases of asphalt pavement, which refer to the road surface being damaged into potholes with a depth of more than 2cm and an area of ??more than 0.04㎡. The main reason for the formation of potholes is that the oil used in vehicle repair or motor vehicles seeps into the road surface, polluting the asphalt mixture and causing it to loosen. The pits are gradually formed by driving and rolling.

Before use, please check whether the position of each valve is accurate and make preparations before work. After starting the motor of the asphalt spreading truck, check the four thermal oil valves and air pressure gauge. After everything is normal, start the engine and the power take-off starts to work. Try running the asphalt pump and cycle for 5 minutes. If the pump head shell is hot to your hands, slowly close the thermal oil pump valve. If the heating is insufficient, the pump will not rotate or make noise. You need to open the valve and continue to heat the asphalt pump until it can operate normally.

Abstract: Asphalt melting equipment is one of the indispensable equipment in modern road construction. Its main function is to heat a large amount of cold hard asphalt to a suitable working temperature at the construction site. Advanced asphalt melting equipment can greatly improve construction efficiency, reduce human resources and time costs, and ensure pavement quality at the same time.

Emulsified asphalt equipment hot-melts basic colored asphalt and mechanically distributes tiny colored asphalt particles in an aqueous solution containing emulsifier to form a liquid colored asphalt material. The cement emulsified asphalt equipment mortar used in slab ballastless track construction uses cationic emulsified asphalt equipment. The purpose is to adjust the elasticity, toughness and durability of the cement emulsified asphalt equipment mortar. Polymers are often used to modify the asphalt.

Modified bitumen equipment is a common road construction equipment. In order to better apply this type of equipment, construction personnel need to be familiar with the performance characteristics of each component and understand its function. Only in this way can the normal use of the equipment be guaranteed in daily applications and its function be maximized.
The main structural components of the standard modified bitumen equipment we have seen in the industry are configured as follows:
1. Filter: Impurities in the hot base asphalt can be filtered to prevent damage to subsequent equipment.
2. Bitumen heater: The jacketed heat exchanger further heats the base asphalt through heat transfer oil to meet the needs of the production process.
3. Modifier air delivery system: The modified agent manually poured into the pouring tank is delivered to the asphalt batching tank by air.
4. Stabilizer automatic suction system: Use negative pressure to suck the stabilizer into the batching tank.
5. Asphalt batching tank: Prepare asphalt mixture according to the formula, and use its combined agitator to ensure uniform mixing.
6. Asphalt transportation system: The prepared asphalt mixture is pumped into the swelling tank through a circulation pump for swelling and development.

After the emulsified asphalt equipment has been used for a long time, it needs maintenance. There are several points to note when adjusting the emulsified asphalt equipment:
1. During use, regular maintenance should be carried out as appropriate according to the processing materials;
2. For the maintenance and use of the motor, please refer to the motor instruction manual;
3. Most of the random spare parts are national standard and department standard parts, which are purchased all over the country;
4. The colloid mill is a high-precision machine with a line speed of up to 20m/second and a very small grinding disc gap. After overhaul, the coaxiality error between the housing and the main shaft must be corrected with a dial indicator to ≤0.05mm;
5. When repairing the machine, it is not allowed to be directly knocked with an iron bell during the disassembly, reassembly and adjustment process. Use a wooden hammer or a wooden block to knock gently to avoid damaging the parts;
6. The seals of this machine are divided into static and dynamic seals. The static seal uses an O-type rubber ring and the dynamic seal uses a hard mechanical combined seal. If the hard sealing surface is scratched, it should be repaired by grinding on flat glass or flat castings immediately. The grinding material should be ≥200# silicon carbide grinding paste. If the seal is damaged or cracked seriously, please replace it immediately.

The requirements for SBS asphalt emulsification equipment are very high. The micro powder machine must have a sufficiently large driving force and can bear the condensation type. Because the temperature requirements of the emulsion SBS asphalt process are relatively high, the emulsified asphalt should be passed through a heat exchanger before feeding to reduce the emulsified asphalt temperature to below 90°C to prevent the emulsified asphalt from breaking due to excessive temperature.
The application scope of SBS modified emulsified asphalt is very wide. According to the nature of the construction, it can be used in new construction, renovation, and reconstruction projects; according to the nature of the project, it can be used in overhaul, equipment overhaul, and maintenance projects. Among them, the actual application projects include micro-surfacing, cold regeneration, cold mixing and cold paving, adhesive layer, permeable oil, slurry seal, gravel permeable layer, fog permeable layer, road moisture-proofing, SBS membrane, ground seam filling, and all other projects that can use emulsified asphalt.

In our daily life, we can often see emulsified asphalt equipment. Its appearance has brought us great convenience. So what is the difference between its modification process? Below, the editor will give you a brief introduction to the relevant knowledge points.
1. Emulsified asphalt equipment first emulsifies and then modifies: This is a relatively simple way to make modified emulsified asphalt. The production process is to grind hot asphalt and emulsifier soap together through a colloid mill to make ordinary emulsified asphalt, and then add latex-like modifiers to the emulsified asphalt through mechanical stirring to make modified emulsified asphalt. The characteristic of this method is that it does not require high equipment.

The surface tension of asphalt and water is very different, and they will not be miscible with each other at room temperature or high temperature. However, when the emulsified asphalt equipment is subjected to mechanical actions such as high-speed centrifugation, shearing, and impact, the emulsified asphalt equipment makes it into particles with a particle size of 0.1~5μm, and dispersed in a water medium containing a surfactant (emulsifier-stabilizer). Since the emulsifier can be directional adsorbed on the surface of the emulsified asphalt equipment particles, the interfacial tension between water and asphalt is reduced, so that the asphalt particles can form a stable dispersion system in water. The emulsified asphalt equipment is an oil-in-water emulsion. This dispersion system is tea brown, with asphalt as the dispersed phase and water as the continuous phase, and has good fluidity at room temperature.
In a sense, emulsified asphalt equipment dilutes asphalt with water, thereby improving the fluidity of asphalt.

I. Methods and Principles of Warm Mix Agent Addition
Warm mix agent (WMA) is an additive used to lower the construction temperature of asphalt mixtures. Its core function is to reduce the viscosity of asphalt through physical or chemical means, allowing mixing and paving at lower temperatures (typically 20-30°C lower than hot mix asphalt). Depending on the method of addition, it can be divided into two categories:
1. Direct addition to asphalt: The warm mix agent is added before or during asphalt heating and then mixed into the asphalt. For example, organic viscosity-reducing warm mix agents (such as Fischer-Tropsch wax) must be mixed with asphalt at 160-170°C (see “Technical Specifications for Highway Asphalt Pavement Construction” JTG F40-2004).
2. Even mixing: The warm mix agent is added simultaneously with the asphalt mixing stage. This is commonly used in foaming warm mix technologies (such as water-based Asphalt-Min) and requires specialized equipment to achieve uniform dispersion within the mixing silo. II. Comparison of the Two Methods and Recommended Selection

What key points should be paid attention to when feeding emulsified asphalt equipment? When it comes to emulsified asphalt equipment, I don’t know how much you know about it? What should you pay attention to when adding materials?
The black anti-static tweezers grinding wheel of the emulsified asphalt equipment does not have a heated collet. Before use, you must add the appropriate amount of diesel and let the black anti-static tweezers circulate for 3 to 5 minutes to generate heat (the temperature after operation is 80 ~100 degrees) open the stop valve on the oil delivery pipe to drain the diesel engine in the engine. The temperature of the black anti-static tweezers grinding wheel must be around 80 to 100 degrees before the material can be loaded and put into production. If there is a heated collet, the grinding wheel must be heated before starting, and then the material is loaded and put into production.

In the asphalt-water system, the emulsifier molecules move between the asphalt and water interface, and the water-loving groups of the molecules are adsorbed on the surface of the asphalt, making it charged, while the hydrophilic groups enter the water phase. This connects the asphalt particles with water, reducing the interfacial tension between the two. At the same time, because the asphalt particles have the same charge and repel each other, they are prevented from agglomerating with each other, so that the asphalt emulsion can remain uniform and stable for a certain period of time. The nature of the charge is determined by the charge of the hydrophobic group or hydrocarbon chain of the emulsifier. If it is negatively charged, the asphalt particles are negatively charged, and the emulsion formed is an anionic asphalt emulsion. Otherwise, it is a cationic asphalt emulsion. If the asphalt particles have both negative and positive charges, the emulsion is a zwitterionic asphalt emulsion; in addition, there is also a non-ionic asphalt liquid.

The fine surface is made of stone with a single particle size, which has high wear resistance and anti-slip properties. The construction of the fine surface adopts mechanized construction, which requires less manual labor and has the characteristics of fast construction speed, anti-skid and noise reduction.
The special bonding material for fine surfaces produced by Sinoroader Group has the characteristics of good bonding performance and good durability. The specific construction process is roughly as follows:

The slurry seal truck is one of the main maintenance methods of highways. The slurry seal is made of emulsified asphalt as the binding material, well-graded mineral materials, fillers, water and additives, etc., mixed in a certain proportion. The slurry mixture is evenly spread on the old road surface to be treated with a sealing truck, and is firmly combined with the original road surface to form a new thin layer of asphalt mixture. So what preparations need to be done before construction? Let’s find out below.

Synchronous sealing trucks play an important role in road maintenance. Daily maintenance of synchronous sealing trucks is an important part of ensuring the good operation of the equipment and extending its service life. Here are some common maintenance measures:

The modified asphalt equipment produced by Sinoroader can produce SBS, rubber powder, SBR, and PE modified asphalt manually and automatically. Some of its configurations and uses are as follows:
1. Filter: The specially made asphalt filter can effectively filter impurities and foreign matter in the high-temperature matrix asphalt to prevent damage to subsequent equipment.
2. Matrix asphalt heater: The spiral plate or shell and tube heat exchanger is used to quickly heat the matrix asphalt through heat transfer oil to meet the needs of the production process. Heating in a sealed tank avoids the aging of asphalt due to long-term high-temperature heating and exposure to the air. The sulfide produced during the production process is quite limited, reducing environmental pollution.
3. Modifier air delivery or spiral addition system: The modifier manually poured into the pouring hopper is delivered to the asphalt batching tank by wind or spiral. It can be equipped with a metering system.
4. Stabilizer automatic or manual addition system: It can be equipped with a metering system.

As we all know, emulsified bitumen is a single-component black viscous liquid that can combine the roadbed and the pavement to improve the performance and service life of the road. So what problems should be paid attention to when using emulsified bitumen? Let’s follow the editor of Sinoroader Group, an emulsified bitumen manufacturer, to learn about it.

As a manufacturer with many years of experience in emulsified bitumen construction, Sinoroader Group believes that everyone needs to pay attention to the following 2 points when using it:

There are many types of bitumen emulsifiers, and there are many classification methods. For specific classifications, please refer to previous articles. The raw materials required for the production of emulsion bitumen are: bitumen, water and bitumen emulsifier. High-standard emulsion bitumen requires adding additives and adjusting acid. According to whether acid adjustment is needed in the emulsion bitumen production process, it can be divided into two categories: emulsion bitumen that requires acid adjustment and emulsion bitumen that does not require acid adjustment.

There are many ways to heat bitumen, including using fire source heating, electric heating, steam heating, hot water heating and indirect heating. Fire source heating generates heat by burning fuel to heat the bitumen to a molten state. Electric heating converts electrical energy into thermal energy through electric heating elements to heat the bitumen to a molten state. Steam heating transfers heat to bitumen through steam, heating the bitumen to a molten state. Hot water heating transfers heat to the bitumen through hot water, heating the bitumen to a molten state. Indirect heating transfers heat to the heating medium, which then transfers the heat to the bitumen to heat the bitumen to a molten state.

Sinoroader emulsifier does not need to add acid or adjust pH value in the production of emulsified asphalt, thus reducing the process, reducing equipment maintenance, saving labor and materials. It reduces the cost of emulsified asphalt, produces acid-free, eliminates equipment corrosion emulsion, does not consider anti-corrosion measures in the selection of equipment, and greatly reduces the capital investment of equipment.
