Analysis of excessive overflow in asphalt mixing plants

Effective maintenance of the drying drum of the asphalt mixing plant can extend its service life and reduce the cost of use. Let’s take a look at how to maintain it reasonably.
1. The drying drum should be stopped when the aggregate is not running in the asphalt mixing equipment. After the work is over every day, the equipment should be operated to discharge the aggregate into the dryer. After closing the combustion chamber, the combustion chamber should be idle for about 30 minutes to cool down to reduce the impact or allow the machine to run automatically.
2. Install the drying cylinder fixing ring on the roller synchronously. Check the environment in the patrol ring regularly. Whether the roller is adjusted, the straight roller will automatically move to the conveying end, and then the bias will be adjusted to the correct position.
3. If the roller table is in contact with only one of the two thrust rollers, the gap sheet can be filled under the support roller until it is simultaneously subjected to the full width of the support ring. The specified nutritional state should be maintained by the thrust wheel, but it is used to compensate for the desire not to express.
4. If the drying drum is equipped with a drive device, a certain amount of power should be added in small amounts.

Asphalt mixing plant is also called asphalt mixture mixing equipment, which is mainly used to produce asphalt mixtures of various specifications. It is an important equipment in projects such as road construction, highway maintenance and airport runway construction. The main components of an asphalt mixing plant include cold material supply system, drying drum, screening system, weighing system, agitator, finished product silo and control system.
The workflow of an asphalt mixing plant is generally as follows:

Asphalt (composition: asphaltenes and resin) tanks are divided into: intermittent and continuous functions according to the production process: initial batching of aggregates, heating and drying, screening and measurement; heating and insulation of asphalt (composition: asphaltene and resin) , transportation and measurement; transportation and measurement of filler; uniformly mix the measured aggregate, asphalt (composition: asphaltene and resin), and filler into a finished product of a certain temperature.

How should the working efficiency of asphalt mixing plant be improved? Let’s take a brief look.
1. Parameter setting. When using asphalt mixing plant to produce asphalt, the temperature of the hot pot can be observed through the temperature controller, but there is a certain difference between the information displayed by the temperature controller and the actual temperature. The generation of this error does not have much impact on the processing quality. If the information entered by the staff when setting the temperature is accurate, there will be no problems with the produced asphalt. It can be seen that the setting of parameters requires more attention.
2. Pay attention to avoid moisture in the equipment. When transporting and storing the asphalt mixing plant, pay attention to avoid moisture in the equipment, because there are many circuit devices inside it, if moisture, it may cause quality problems or even damage. This is also an important point to consider to improve production efficiency.
3. When installing and using the asphalt mixing plant, pay attention to whether the equipment is grounded. Before starting the equipment, it must be preheated in time so that the temperature standard can be reached within a shorter time range, so as to enter the normal asphalt production process.

Asphalt mixing plants, what role? Asphalt mixing plants, also known as asphalt concrete production equipment, is a special facility for mixing, heating, dust removal and other process treatments for raw materials such as sand, mineral powder, asphalt, etc., to produce asphalt concrete for road construction. As an indispensable role in road construction, the responsibility of the asphalt mixing plant is not only to complete the production of asphalt concrete, but also to provide solid guarantee for road construction.

In fact, don’t be misled by the name. The asphalt mixing plant we are talking about here does not necessarily refer to simple asphalt mixing, but may also refer to asphalt concrete mixing, so it is actually a mixing plant. At present, asphalt mixing plants generally use complete sets of equipment for mixing purposes. The benefits of using complete sets of equipment are as follows.
1. Higher efficiency
For the current industrial production, complete sets of equipment can help improve production efficiency and ensure production quality. This is why even in mixing plants, the equipment used is mainly complete sets of equipment.
2. Ensure quality
When mixing asphalt, a certain ratio will be set. For this type of asphalt liquid used in different occasions, its ratio control has strict requirements. Only by ensuring its mixing method and mixing time can the asphalt liquid be ensured to be used in the production site. One of the benefits of a mixing station is that the quality can be effectively controlled.
3. Ability to perform random inspections
After mixing at the mixing station, relevant quality inspection personnel can conduct random inspections to ensure that the mixed asphalt liquid meets the use requirements.
In short, asphalt mixing plants use complete sets of equipment, mainly to facilitate the asphalt to meet production needs in the later stage. Using a mixing plant, it can better control the mixing time and the order of feeding, so as to ensure that the mixed products meet different usage requirements. And after using the archived equipment, effective sampling can also be carried out, which can better ensure that the quality meets the construction.

Judging from the current situation of domestic highway construction, asphalt mixing stations will also achieve great development for a long time to come. This is also a result of rapid economic development. However, we have found that more and more quality problems occur when constructing asphalt pavements in modern times. Therefore, we have to put forward more stringent requirements for the quality of asphalt.

Asphalt mixing plant is a very practical engineering machinery. Especially in the road construction process, it plays an irreplaceable role. Due to its importance, in addition to ensuring its own quality, the use and maintenance of the equipment must be carried out normally. Let’s learn about the daily maintenance requirements of asphalt mixing plants.

People pay more and more attention to urban construction, and the use of asphalt is increasing. The application rate of asphalt mixing station is naturally growing rapidly.
Asphalt mixing station will encounter some faults more or less during use. The most common ones are uneven wear of the supporting wheel and wheel rail. Sometimes there will be some abnormal noise and gnawing. The main reason for this is that after the asphalt mixing station has been working for a period of time, the internal drying cylinder will be subjected to high temperature, and then friction will occur between the supporting wheel and wheel rail.
The above situation will also be accompanied by severe shaking, because the asphalt mixing station will directly cause the gap between the wheel rail and the supporting wheel to be improperly adjusted under the action of the drying material, or the mutual position of the two will be skewed. When encountering this situation, the user should add grease to the surface contact position of the supporting wheel and the wheel rail after daily operation.
In addition, the staff also need to pay attention to and timely adjust the tightness of the fixing nut while adding grease, and then effectively adjust the spacing between the supporting wheel and the wheel rail, so that the asphalt mixing station can work smoothly, all contact points can be evenly stressed, and there will be no shaking.

Asphalt mixing plant is one of the main equipment for producing asphalt concrete. It can mix asphalt, gravel, cement and other materials together in a certain proportion to obtain the products required for highway construction. In order to ensure its operating effect, the asphalt mixing station also needs to be powered on for trial operation before it is officially put into work.
At the beginning of the test run, first run a single motor, and at the same time check whether the current, steering, insulation and mechanical transmission parts are operating normally. After confirming that each motor and mechanical transmission parts are operating correctly, conduct a joint trial run. During the entire process, it is necessary to conduct patrol inspections of key parts. If any abnormal noise is found, the cause should be identified and eliminated in a timely manner.

When paving roads, asphalt is still needed, and special equipment is also needed when mixing asphalt. Among them, asphalt mixers can also be used with high efficiency, and have become a major equipment that construction units are concerned about. So what are the characteristics and advantages of such equipment, and in what aspects are they mainly reflected?
1. It is simpler and more convenient to use and operate
The current asphalt mixer equipment is still mainly designed in a modular way. It can be said that the design is more reasonable. This design method also makes the equipment easier and more convenient to carry and install. As long as it is on the construction site, it can be used well, and it can also be moved quickly, so that it can meet the needs of different scenarios.
2. Higher work efficiency
Not only that, the mixing blades of the asphalt mixer equipment itself are also very unique in design. It can be said that it is directly driven by power to and from Ancheng, so this design also makes the entire equipment safer and more reliable, and the work efficiency is also relatively high. Moreover, because the relevant motor vibration screen is used, the failure rate of the equipment is also reduced, so that the construction unit does not need to worry about the use of the equipment and can use it with confidence.
Nowadays, asphalt mixers can reduce floor space and ensure stability during operation. Therefore, when construction units use equipment, they still need to pay attention to multiple aspects, especially the use specifications of the equipment itself. These are all things that need to be paid attention to. Only in this way can the use effect of the equipment be ultimately ensured and the asphalt mixing work can be completed through this equipment.

As an important production equipment in construction, asphalt mixing plant has high production investment. Therefore, production is very important during use, but daily maintenance is also very important. In addition to regular maintenance, routine maintenance is also essential. The editor of Asphalt Mixing Plant shares some key points of daily maintenance and scheduled maintenance;

Due to the good reliability of asphalt, more and more fields have just begun to use asphalt as raw material for daily production and processing work; such as construction, urban roads, etc. In addition, the processing plant will humanize and manufacture asphalt according to customer requirements, and will use professional technical tools for asphalt mixing work. Compared with the application of old technical equipment, the new asphalt mixing equipment has stronger technicality and efficient operation speed. In addition, the equipment will use an automatic computer operating system to reduce redundant errors and reduce the working time of operators.
In addition, the processing plant will also mix and manufacture asphalt with higher precision asphalt mixing equipment, and only a small amount of raw materials and natural materials will be used for asphalt mixing and manufacturing; and it can reasonably control the quality of goods and improve the quality of goods.
Do you master the whole process of asphalt mixing equipment? The whole working process is a fusion of stone mixing, slag micro powder mixing and asphalt mixing. You can find a lot of detailed information below.

Many people think that since both asphalt mixing plants and asphalt mixing plants are equipment for producing asphalt, there should be no difference between them, even if there is, it is only in appearance and volume. However, asphalt mixing plants and asphalt mixing plants are different in even their basic structure and function.
First, let me introduce the basic structure of an asphalt mixing plant, which includes five major components: material supply system, metering system, mixing system, and electrical control system. In comparison, the structure of an asphalt mixing plant is simpler, without so many components, so its operation and maintenance will be simpler.

With the rapid development of highway construction, the requirements for construction equipment are getting higher and higher. Among them, asphalt mixing plants are one of the key equipment, and their performance directly affects the pavement quality of highways. Among the many asphalt mixing plants, continuous asphalt mixing plants have gradually emerged with their unique advantages.
In actual highway construction, continuous asphalt mixing plants have been widely used. For example, in a certain highway project, a continuous asphalt mixing plant was used to produce asphalt mixtures. By optimizing production process parameters and strictly controlling the quality of raw materials, the asphalt mixing plant successfully provided high-quality asphalt mixtures for the project. In the end, the project was completed on schedule, the pavement quality met the design requirements, and was highly praised by the owner.
In summary, continuous asphalt mixing plants can be fully used in highway construction. Its efficient and stable performance can not only meet the strict requirements of highway construction, but also improve construction efficiency and ensure pavement quality. With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous expansion of market demand, the application prospects of continuous asphalt mixing plants in highway construction will be broader.

The additives in the production process of emulsified asphalt equipment can be divided into accelerators and retarders. In addition, the temperature and viscosity at that time need to be correctly controlled during production. How much do you know about this information? Let’s take a closer look:
The viscosity of asphalt decreases with the increase of temperature during the production of emulsified asphalt equipment. For every 12°C increase, its dynamic viscosity decreases by about one time. During production, the base asphalt should be heated to liquid state before emulsification. In addition, in order to adapt to the emulsification capacity of the colloid mill, the dynamic viscosity of the base asphalt is generally controlled to be about 200cst. The lower the temperature, the higher the viscosity, which increases the burden on the asphalt pump and the colloid mill, making it difficult to emulsify; but on the other hand, in order to prevent the demulsification caused by excessive vaporization and evaporation of water in the finished product during the production of emulsified asphalt, it is impossible to heat the base asphalt temperature too high. Generally, the finished product temperature at the outlet of the colloid mill should be controlled to be less than 85°C.
These are the main ways to control the temperature and viscosity of emulsified asphalt equipment during production. We must operate reasonably according to the instructions so that its performance can be fully demonstrated. If you have any questions, please feel free to consult us in time. We will continue to organize more information about emulsified asphalt equipment for you.

The core of the asphalt mixing plant is its electronic control system. If it has problems, it will cause a lot of trouble to use. However, in actual use, the electronic control system in the asphalt mixing plant will inevitably encounter some problems and failures. How to solve it at this time?
If only the instrument display of the electronic control system of the asphalt mixing plant is inaccurate, it means that the weighing system may be affected by external forces; or the drift error of the sensor causes the weighing zero position or weighing interval to change; it may also be caused by sensor damage.

The quality of asphalt mixture directly determines the quality of asphalt pavement engineering. This article discusses the key points of supervision of ordinary highway asphalt plants in order to better monitor the quality of asphalt mixture.

1. Causes of overflow
The main causes of spillage are:
1) Mixing materials in cold silo. Cold material warehouses generally have 5 or 4 warehouses. Each warehouse is required to contain pellets of a certain specification. If cold materials of different specifications are mixed or mistakenly loaded during the loading process, it will cause certain occurrences in a certain period of time. The shortage of pellets of one specification and the overflow of pellets of another specification can easily destroy the supply balance between hot and cold silos.

The development prospects of asphalt mixing plants are very good, and the product competition on the market is also very fierce. When the equipment is used, uneven wear of the supporting wheels and wheel rails often occurs, and sometimes there are some abnormal noises and edge gnawing. The main reason is that after the asphalt mixing station has been working for a period of time, the drying cylinder is exposed to high temperature and friction occurs between the supporting wheel and the wheel rail.
Under the action of drying materials in an asphalt mixing station, the equipment will vibrate violently, which will directly lead to improper adjustment of the gap between the wheel rail and the supporting wheel, or mutual interference between the two. The position is skewed, so the operator needs to add grease to the surface contact positions of the supporting wheel and the calibrating wheel rail after every day’s work.

When using the asphalt mixing plant, you should regularly check the fuel pressure regulating valve or pressure reducing valve to determine whether the surface of the locking nut on the adjustable bolt is clean and removable; if the surface of the screw or nut is too dirty or rusty, it needs to be repaired or Replace the regulating valve.
Check the oil pump regularly to determine whether the sealing device is intact and whether the internal pressure is stable, and replace any damaged or leaking sealing devices. When using hot oil, check whether all oil pipes are well insulated. The filter installed between the oil tank and the oil pump must be cleaned regularly and checked for excessive wear to ensure that the fuel reaches the oil pump smoothly from the oil tank and to reduce the possibility of potential component failure.

Asphalt mixing equipment is a large-scale equipment, so you must pay attention to safety when using it to avoid accidents. But to put it simply, if you want to truly use it safely, you must master some basic common sense. The following main things must be kept in mind.

The mixing speed of asphalt mixing plant equipment is indeed very fast, and the corresponding mixing power must be very high, but the specific amount must be measured in a certain way to determine the scope of use of asphalt mixing equipment. There are many methods to measure the mixing power of asphalt mixing equipment, but the relatively small errors are the motor counter-torque measurement method and the strain measurement method.
When the motor of the asphalt mixing equipment starts running, the electromagnetic moment acting on the motor rotor and the electromagnetic moment acting on the motor stator are equal, but their directions are opposite. Therefore, as long as the torque acting on the stator is measured, the torque on the rotor can be obtained, and the actual mixing torque is obtained after deducting the friction torque on the rotor bearing.
On the premise of knowing the torque and mixing speed, the mixing power of the asphalt mixing equipment can be calculated. This is the so-called motor counter-torque measurement method, which is relatively simple and suitable for smaller mixing systems.

The asphalt mixing plant is a complete set of equipment for mass production of asphalt concrete. The whole machine of the equipment consists of multiple systems, such as batching system, drying system, combustion system, powder supply system and dust prevention system. Each system is an important part of the asphalt mixing plant.
The working condition of the combustion system of the asphalt mixing plant has a great impact on the whole system, which is related to the economic efficiency of the whole system, temperature control accuracy and flue gas emission indicators. This article will briefly introduce how to judge the working condition of the combustion system of the asphalt mixing plant.
Generally speaking, due to the complexity of the detection equipment and methods, there are no conditions to achieve in the working process of most asphalt mixing plants. Therefore, it is more convenient to judge the working condition by a series of relatively intuitive factors such as the color, brightness and shape of the flame. This method is very simple and effective.
When the combustion system of the asphalt mixing plant is working, when the fuel is burning normally in the drying cylinder, the user can observe the flame through the front of the cylinder. At this time, the center of the flame should be in the center of the drying cylinder, and the flame is evenly distributed around it and will not touch the cylinder wall. The flame is full. The whole outline of the flame is relatively clear, and there will be no black smoke tail.
The abnormal working state of the combustion system includes, for example, the diameter of the flame is too large, which will cause serious carbon deposits on the furnace tube and affect the subsequent working state of the combustion system.

With increasingly stringent environmental protection policies, asphalt mixing stations face severe challenges such as excessive dust and exhaust gas emissions. How to achieve standard production through efficient and environmentally friendly transformation while controlling costs? This article will reveal three core transformation plans to help mixing stations achieve a direct reduction of more than 80% in emissions, combining economy and compliance!
1. Dust control: Upgrade pulse bag dust removal system
Traditional dust removal equipment is difficult to cope with high humidity and high viscosity dust in asphalt stations, which can easily cause filter bags to compact. The transformation plan includes:
Filter material upgrade: Use oil-proof and waterproof coated filter bags, which can withstand 240℃ high-temperature asphalt flue gas and extend the service life by 2 times.
Intelligent cleaning: Equipped with a 0.5MPa high-pressure pulse backflush device, the cleaning frequency is automatically adjusted according to the pressure difference, and the dust capture efficiency exceeds 99%.
Seal transformation: Install double-layer soft curtain seals on dust-raising points such as silos and conveyor belts to reduce unorganized emissions.
Transformation effect: dust emission concentration dropped from 100mg/m3 to below 10mg/m3, which is better than the national standard.
With increasingly stringent environmental protection policies, asphalt mixing plants face severe challenges such as excessive dust and exhaust gas emissions. How to achieve standard production through efficient and environmentally friendly transformation while controlling costs?

The actual operation steps of drying drum of asphalt mixing equipment: 1. Pay attention to routine inspection; 2. Proper operation steps; 3. Effective maintenance.
Drying drum is a cylindrical device specially used for heating and drying stones in asphalt mixing equipment. Proper application and maintenance of drying drum can maximize the performance of drying drum, increase its service life and reduce application cost. Let’s take a look at the actual operation steps below.
1. Pay attention to routine inspections
The asphalt mixing equipment drying drum has been tested and inspected before leaving the factory, but it will be subjected to vibration and vibration during transportation to the construction site. A comprehensive inspection should be carried out before use: check whether all anchor bolts are tightened; whether all key pins are properly driven; whether all drive devices are adjusted according to the manufacturer’s instructions; whether all pipe connections are appropriate and whether the three-way joints are reliable; whether the entire equipment is fully lubricated; start the motor and check whether all parts can rotate steadily in the correct rotation direction; whether the pressure gauge can work normally and whether the valve is adjusted to the correct working pressure; whether the burner ignition mechanism is available and whether the gate valve is open.
2. Correct operation steps
After the equipment is started, it is recommended to control the machine manually at the beginning, and then switch to the automatic control mode after achieving the required production volume and pouring temperature. The stone should be dried and have a stable moisture content as much as possible so that the stone can maintain a stable final temperature when passing through the drying drum. If the stones delivered to the drying drum change frequently and the moisture content changes each time, the burner should be adjusted frequently to compensate for these changes.
The stones directly from the crushed stone have a relatively constant moisture content, while the stones from the outdoor storage yard have a higher moisture content, and the moisture content of different piles varies greatly. Therefore, it is best for the stones to come from the same source.

There is also a reversing valve in the asphalt mixing plant, which generally does not cause problems, so I have not understood its solutions in detail before. But in actual use, we encountered this kind of failure. How should we deal with it?
The failure of the reversing valve of the asphalt mixing station is not complicated, that is, the reversing is not timely, gas leakage, electromagnetic pilot valve failure, etc. The corresponding causes and solutions are of course different. For the reversing valve to not change direction in time, it is generally caused by poor lubrication, the spring is stuck or damaged, oil dirt or impurities get stuck in the sliding part, etc. For this, it is necessary to check the status of the lubricator and the quality of the lubricating oil. Viscosity, if necessary, the lubricant or other parts can be replaced.
After long-term use, the reversing valve is prone to wear of the valve core sealing ring, damage to the valve stem and valve seat, resulting in gas leakage in the valve. At this time, the sealing ring, valve stem and valve seat should be replaced, or the reversing valve should be replaced directly. In order to reduce the failure rate of asphalt mixers, maintenance must be strengthened on a daily basis.

In my country, most of the raw materials used in highway construction are asphalt, so asphalt mixing plants have also developed rapidly. However, under the situation of rapid economic development in my country, the problems of asphalt pavement have gradually increased, so the market requirements for asphalt quality have become higher and higher.
There are many factors that affect the quality of asphalt. In addition to the need for asphalt mixing plant equipment to meet conventional requirements, the ratio of raw materials is also very important. At present, my country’s existing industry specifications indicate that the maximum particle size of the asphalt mixture used on the upper layer of the highway cannot exceed half of the thickness, and the maximum particle size of the aggregate of the middle asphalt mixture cannot exceed two-thirds of the thickness of the layer, and the maximum size of the structural layer cannot exceed one-third of the same layer.

The materials used in asphalt mixtures contain a lot of dust. When the equipment is operating, if the dust enters the atmosphere, it will cause pollution. Therefore, dust removal equipment must be installed, and now bag dust removal is the main method. Safety is a common sense issue. There are well-established standard safety rules.
Do not clean, oil or adjust any mechanical equipment that is not specifically explained during operation; turn off the power and lock it before inspection or repair activities to prepare for accidents. Because each situation has its own particularity. Therefore, be vigilant about safety damage issues, incorrect operation issues and other deficiencies. All of them may lead to accidents, personal injuries, reduced production efficiency, and more importantly, loss of life. Careful and early prevention is the best way to avoid accidents.
Careful and correct maintenance can make the equipment work more efficiently and control it within a certain level of pollution; the maintenance of each component should be carried out according to its operating standards; maintenance plans and safe operation procedures should be formulated according to the inspection and repair conditions that must be carried out.
Take out a work log to record all inspection and repair conditions, list the analysis of each inspection of each component and the description of the repair content or the date of the repair; the second step is to give the inspection cycle for each component, which should be determined according to the service life and wear condition of each component.

Asphalt mixing plant is an important production equipment for construction, and its production investment is relatively high. Therefore, during use, production is very important, but daily maintenance is also crucial. In addition to regular maintenance, daily maintenance is also indispensable. The editor of Tate Asphalt Mixing Plant shares several points of daily maintenance and regular maintenance;
Daily maintenance:
Clean the equipment after work every day, keep the inside and outside of the equipment clean, remove the mortar inside the equipment, clean the surface, check the oil gauge position every day, refuel as needed, and ensure reasonable lubrication. Special tools and accessories are customized for storage to prevent loss.
Start the equipment every day to run it idle for 10 minutes, and try to keep the fixed person and machine as still as possible, and do not change the operator at will.
Regular maintenance:
Check the bolts of the tile adhesive production line regularly (such as every month) for looseness.
Regularly change the lubricating oil.
Regularly check whether the pedal is firm.
Check whether the hoist belt is loose.
Regularly inspect and calibrate the packaging machine to see if it is qualified.
