Application

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.

Now on the construction site, including in some engineering construction, one of the equipment used is asphalt mixing plant. It can be said that it can be used in many ranges and fields, and it can provide certain help for my country’s infrastructure construction. Of course, in the process of use, it is necessary to do a good job in many aspects, so that the use of mixing plant can be safer and more worry-free.
1. Maintain standardized operating procedures
In fact, it is not only in the use of asphalt mixing plant, but also in the use of other equipment. It should be done well. It can be said that this mixing plant will also have certain dangers. If there is any carelessness, it may also cause great losses. Therefore, at this time, it is still necessary to pay attention to the correct specifications and follow the process step by step. Only in this way can it be used safely and other use problems can be effectively avoided.
2. Adjust the reasonable mixing ratio
In the application of asphalt mixing plant, the most important and core step is the mixing. The mixing ratio of raw materials should be within a reasonable range and completed according to actual needs. Do not add or reduce raw materials at will according to your own wishes. Such operation is not standardized. In addition, after making a good ratio, you should also pay attention to safety protection measures during operation.
Asphalt mixing plant still plays an important role. If you want to make the use of the mixing plant safer and more worry-free, you should pay more attention when using it and have a certain understanding of these precautions. Only in this way can you ensure that there will be no other problems in use and ensure the safety of the mixing plant.

In the process of building and maintaining roads, road asphalt materials are an indispensable part. Asphalt, as a binder, can be used for various surface treatments, such as roads, parking lots, airport runways, etc. However, choosing the right road asphalt material for you is not an easy task. In this article, we will discuss how to choose the road asphalt material that best suits your needs.
1. Understand the types of road asphalt materials
First, we need to understand what road asphalt materials are available. According to the material properties and their application areas, they can generally be divided into the following categories:
(1) Conventional petroleum asphalt: It is extracted from petroleum and has strong durability and viscosity. It is often used in the surface layer of highways, urban trunk roads, etc.
(2) Modular asphalt: It is obtained by mixing conventional petroleum asphalt with other materials. It has better toughness and crack resistance. It is usually used for viaducts, large airport runways, etc.
(3) High temperature stabilizer modified asphalt: By adding high temperature stabilizers, the high temperature resistance of asphalt is increased. It is usually used in high temperature areas, such as roads in southern provinces.
(4) Polymer modified asphalt: By adding polymers, the toughness, crack resistance and durability of asphalt are increased. It is usually used in large parking lots, factory areas, etc.

Asphalt concrete, as the name implies, is a composite material formed by combining asphalt and concrete. Its main components usually include three categories, aggregate, filler and asphalt. Aggregate, as the basic skeleton of asphalt concrete, is mainly composed of crushed stones of different sizes. These crushed stones are carefully selected and proportioned to ensure the strength and stability of asphalt concrete. Filler usually refers to fine-grained materials such as stone powder, which are filled between crushed stones to increase density and improve overall strength. Asphalt is a binder that can tightly bond aggregate and filler together to form a solid whole. In the process of producing asphalt concrete, the proportion of various raw materials will be adjusted according to different formulas. These formulas are usually formulated according to the specific requirements of the road and the use environment to ensure that asphalt concrete can meet various complex road conditions. The place where this composite material is produced is a special asphalt mixing plant. This is an asphalt concrete mixing plant. The large trucks that we see every day to transport asphalt concrete come out from here. In the asphalt mixing plant, the entire production process is finely divided into multiple steps.
First, workers use loaders to deliver aggregates into cold silos. Cold silos are usually divided into several different chambers according to the size of aggregate particles, and each chamber corresponds to aggregates of different specifications. In this way, in the subsequent mixing process, the proportion of various aggregates can be accurately adjusted according to customer needs.
Next, these aggregates will be sent to the drying drum through a vibrating feeder and a belt conveyor. In the drying drum, the aggregates will be heated to a specified temperature by the high-temperature heat source provided by the burner. During this process, the spiral blades and sheep feed plates inside the drum will ensure that the aggregates are fully heated during rotation and remove the moisture in them. In this way, not only can the bonding strength between aggregates and asphalt be improved, but also the stability and durability of asphalt concrete after paving can be ensured.

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.

Bitumen is a polymer mixture composed of asphaltene, colloid, aromatic hydrocarbons and saturated hydrocarbons. Asphaltene is dispersed in aromatic hydrocarbons and saturated hydrocarbons with the help of colloid to form a colloidal structure. When the asphaltene content is low, the bitumen has good adhesion, plasticity and fluidity, but poor temperature stability and elasticity
Bitumen modification principle:
Bitumen is a polymer mixture composed of asphaltene, colloid, aromatic hydrocarbons and saturated hydrocarbons. Asphaltene is dispersed in aromatic hydrocarbons and saturated hydrocarbons with the help of colloid to form a colloidal structure. When the asphaltene content is low, the bitumen has good adhesion, plasticity and fluidity, but poor temperature stability and elasticity. The polymer modifier is similar to the asphaltene in bitumen. Its addition, after fully swelling with bitumen, absorbs the aromatic hydrocarbons and colloid in bitumen to form a new colloid, which not only retains or increases the adhesion, plasticity and fluidity of the original bitumen, but also improves the temperature stability and elasticity of bitumen, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the road performance of bitumen.
Bitumen modification process:
The modifier and additive are evenly and finely dispersed into the matrix bitumen, and the contact area between the original bitumen and the modifier is increased as much as possible to ensure full swelling and development, which not only improves the utilization rate of the modifier but also makes the original bitumen performance the most perfect improvement.
The modified bitumen complete production equipment has the following advantages:
1. It is suitable for a variety of modifiers, such as SBS, EVA, PE, etc.;
2. The ratio of modifier to bitumen can be set at any time according to user needs;
3. The production volume of each cycle can be set arbitrarily within the maximum productivity;
4. The modified bitumen has high quality, and the modifier has a small particle size and uniform distribution after emulsification;
5. The production process is fully automatically controlled, and the production records can be queried at any time;
6. The weighing system is accurate in measurement, and the weighing error is less than 1%;

I believe that after a long period of contact with asphalt tanks, everyone knows that the working efficiency of emulsified asphalt equipment actually depends on the operator. The more experienced the operator is and the stronger his ability to deal with various emergencies is, the higher the working efficiency will be, and the safety will be guaranteed. Mastering more equipment-related knowledge is what every friend should pursue. Today, the editor will explain to you the details that need to be paid attention to when operating emulsified asphalt equipment:

Asphalt anti-sticking release agent is a product used in the construction of hot asphalt mixture to solve the asphalt anti-sticking problem. It is used to replace diesel and vegetable oil! There are all kinds of things about the effect of asphalt anti-sticking release agent. How to use asphalt anti-sticking release agent?
Before use, stir the release agent evenly, spray or apply the original liquid evenly on the surface of construction equipment such as rubber-wheeled rollers, transport carriages, paver hoppers, ironing plates, etc.; or add water to the roller water tank after dilution, stir evenly and spray automatically for use.
When preparing to start construction, when the roller tires are cool or the temperature is low, you should first apply the roller tires with the release agent original liquid, and then start rolling. At the beginning, you need to apply more release agent. After the temperature of the tires rises, you can apply it normally or less. If you use intermittent spraying of release agent, you should spray more frequently at the beginning of construction.
When adding water, we recommend a ratio of 10-15 times. It will be better to use 10 times the water ratio. If you think the cost is high and want to add more water, it is also possible, but try to use less than 15 times the water ratio. If it is modified asphalt, it is recommended to use less than 8 times, and 7 times the water ratio is recommended.

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.

We should select products that meet the specifications, and we should not select raw materials that do not meet the specifications. The other thing is the operation technology of asphalt heating equipment. Skilled operation technology is the most important, and training is required before taking up the post.
In recent years, with the continuous development of various industries, the production of various equipment including modified asphalt equipment has been further developed and applied. Professionals introduced that in the process of using modified asphalt equipment for production, the terminal control system implements full automatic control of medium weight, working temperature, working flow, valve opening and closing, etc., thereby ensuring the quality of modified asphalt and greatly improving production efficiency. Now Shandong Duxiu Factory will explain the operating advantages of modified asphalt equipment to customers:
The base asphalt is heated to 150-170℃ in the rapid heating tank and then enters the blending tank to mix with the modifier fed in through the feeding device. The asphalt pump at the bottom of the blending tank then sends it to the colloid mill for high-speed grinding and shearing, so that the modifier and base asphalt are fully dissolved in extremely small particles, thereby improving the various properties of the asphalt. The finished modified asphalt after high-speed shearing and grinding enters the finished product development tank at the rear for direct use.

Emulsified asphalt equipment improves the fluidity of asphalt: 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 disperses it into 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.

In highway construction, asphalt mixing station plays a vital role.

Never stop, escorting the quality of road construction
Inheriting decades of technical accumulation, asphalt mixing station has become an indispensable part of building and maintaining high-level roads. This seemingly ordinary device carries the important mission of ensuring road safety and improving driving experience. As the core technology of modern road engineering construction, asphalt mixing station goes all out to continuously strive for a better, safer and more efficient travel environment.
Fast drive, tenacious progress
Asphalt mixing station plays a role in road engineering. It uses mature technology and processes to ensure the smooth progress of road construction with efficient mixing capacity and stable production quality. From conveying raw materials to the precise proportion of oil and aggregates, to the uniform mixing of the final product, the asphalt mixing station, with its professional working attitude, ensures the quality and stability of road materials, and provides a solid foundation for the construction of high-standard road projects.

Faced with increasingly urgent environmental protection requirements, mixing stations continue to innovate technology, improve production efficiency, and also pay attention to environmental protection responsibilities. By introducing advanced dust removal and purification devices, intelligent equipment control systems and combustion equipment, the asphalt mixing station effectively reduces environmental pollution and makes positive contributions to protecting the surrounding ecological environment.

We have conducted in-depth research on asphalt distributors and have accumulated a lot of production technology experience. We have conducted professional and in-depth research on some problems existing in the market to provide convenience for everyone in future production applications.
Every time when spraying asphalt, the asphalt distributor does not spray asphalt. Troubleshooting. The asphalt distributor does not spray asphalt. It is a common fault. The following teaches you how to solve the problem of not spraying asphalt.
1. No asphalt spraying
Analysis of the reasons may be the following reasons:
1. Is the asphalt pump working?
2. Are the valves adjusted correctly?
3. Is the pump or pipeline blocked?
2. Troubleshooting method
1. Check whether the hydraulic system is working properly?
2. After adjusting the valve position, the asphalt distributor must be cleaned to avoid pipeline blockage when used next time. Because the asphalt distributor has different high and low configurations, it can spread various high-viscosity and high-temperature modified asphalts and rubber asphalt in high configuration. If you mistakenly use a low-configuration asphalt truck to spread this type of asphalt, you must spray the asphalt inside the entire vehicle clean after the first use. After spraying, in order to leave no residual asphalt, you can use waste diesel to clean it. Our company’s vehicles are equipped with air cleaning and gravity cleaning devices. Diesel cleaning is a reliable cleaning method.

Bitumen is a mixture of organic compounds. The road surface paved with bitumen by modified emulsified bitumen equipment is a seamless continuous road surface with good durability and wear resistance. It does not soften at high temperatures and does not crack at low temperatures. It has been promoted and applied worldwide for its superior performance such as strong bearing capacity, no dust, anti-slip, and noise.
Modified bitumen refers to an asphalt mixture that has been improved by adding modifiers such as rubber, resin, high molecular polymer, and finely ground rubber powder, or by lightly oxidizing bitumen. The excellent performance of modified bitumen equipment comes from the modifiers added to it and the world’s advanced colloid mill; the modifiers can not only merge with each other under the action of temperature and kinetic energy, but also react with bitumen, thereby greatly improving the mechanical properties of bitumen. The modified bitumen produced by modified emulsified bitumen equipment can effectively enhance the load capacity of the road surface, reduce the fatigue of the road surface caused by excessive load, and extend the service life of the road surface exponentially. Therefore, it can be widely used in the paving of high-grade highways, airport runways and bridges.

In order to better play the role of slurry seal vehicles, this article explains the matters that should be noted from the aspects of the scope of application, type and material selection, construction technology, common diseases, etc. of slurry seal vehicles.
The slurry seal vehicle is thin in thickness and mainly plays the role of waterproofing, anti-skid, wear-resistant and improving the appearance of the road surface. In the pavement structure system, it can only serve as a surface protection layer and wear layer, but not a load-bearing structure. It is widely used in the construction and maintenance of highways. Practice has proved that the slurry seal can also play an important role by reasonably selecting the thickness and type of the slurry seal and strictly controlling the construction technology and quality.
(1). The scope of application of slurry seal vehicles includes the following aspects:
1. When the pavement damage index of expressways and first-class highways is evaluated as medium and below, or the pavement damage index of second-class and below highways is evaluated as secondary and below, when medium repair and overlay measures should be taken, slurry seal can be selected.
2. When the pavement driving quality index of expressways and first-class highways is evaluated as medium or below, or the pavement driving quality index of second-class and below highways is evaluated as second or below, medium repair and overlay measures should be taken to improve its flatness, and slurry seal can be selected.
3. For sections of expressways and first-class highways with insufficient anti-skid capacity (SFC<40), or sections of second-class and below highways with insufficient anti-skid capacity (SFC<33.5), measures such as adding overlays should be taken to provide anti-skid capacity of the road surface. 4. Anti-skid layer and waterproof protective layer used for third- and fourth-class highways to improve the appearance of the road surface.

Emulsified asphalt equipment plays an important role in road construction, and its production quality will directly affect the quality of facilities such as roads. In order to operate it better, we need to pay special attention to the following four points when applying emulsified asphalt equipment:
1. Before spraying, the emulsified asphalt equipment must check whether the position of each valve is correct. The hot asphalt added to the emulsified asphalt equipment must reach an operating temperature of 160~180℃. For long-distance transportation or long working time, a heating device can be used for insulation, but it cannot be used as an oil melting furnace.
2. When the asphalt in the emulsified asphalt equipment is heated by a burner, the asphalt height must exceed the upper plane of the combustion chamber, otherwise the combustion chamber will be burned.
3. The emulsified asphalt equipment cannot be filled too full, and the fuel filler cap must be closed tightly to prevent asphalt from overflowing during transportation.
4. This vehicle has two front and rear control consoles. When using the front control console, the switch must be turned to the front control. At this time, the rear control console can only control the lifting and lowering of the nozzle.
I believe that through the above description, everyone will be more comfortable when using emulsified asphalt equipment in the future. As for the relevant operating matters of the equipment, I will introduce them to you here today. If you want to know more information, please pay attention to the next explanation.

Modified asphalt equipment is a widely used asphalt equipment. Now its ultra-high performance has been widely praised by users. However, we must first ensure the safe use of modified asphalt equipment in order to fully demonstrate its performance. So how much do you know about the safe use and operation of modified asphalt equipment? Today, Gaoyuan Road Construction will explain it in detail:
1. Placement: The modified asphalt equipment should be placed on a flat place, and the front axle wheel should be fixed with sleepers and the tires should be suspended to ensure that the machine does not move around during operation.
2. Check regularly whether the mixer blades are deformed and whether the screws are loose.
3. Check whether the running direction of the mixing barrel is consistent with the arrow. If not, please replace the positive and negative poles of the wiring.
4. Before powering on, check for empty vehicle trial operation, check for leakage, and check the idling of the mixing barrel. The normal speed is about 3 times faster when the empty vehicle is full. If the speed is wrong, you should stop and check.
5. If the machine is stopped for more than one hour after the asphalt mixing is completed, clean the mixing barrel, pour in clean water, and clean the mortar. Then drain the water. Remember that there should be no water accumulation in the barrel to prevent the formula from changing and even rusting of the pages and other links.

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 site selection of the asphalt mixing station should follow three principles. Let’s take a look:
1. When selecting the site for the asphalt mixing station in the early stage of construction, the construction party should pay attention to the line direction of the construction site, because the line direction of the construction site will directly affect the quality of the mixed asphalt. Asphalt is an important material used for road and engineering construction. If the quality is poor, it will inevitably have a serious impact on the quality and safety of the entire project. Therefore, when selecting the site, it must be considered in many aspects, and meet the on-site requirements, and confirm the location of the mixing station according to the drawings.
2. Secondly, it is necessary to have a full understanding and grasp of the basic elements of the asphalt mixing station construction, such as whether water and electricity can be supplied normally, or whether the size of the land is sufficient to build an asphalt mixing station.
3. Since the use of asphalt mixing stations belongs to mechanized construction, there will inevitably be dust, noise and other pollution problems during the operation. It can be seen that when selecting the site, it must be kept as far away as possible from residential areas, schools or farms to avoid a greater impact on the surrounding environment.

During the road construction process, asphalt spreaders also play an irreplaceable role. Let’s take a look at the main performance advantages of asphalt spreaders produced by Sinoroader and where their main contributions exist?
1. Manual/automatic control of spraying volume and working width. Each nozzle can be controlled individually, and the determinant nozzles can be freely combined to adjust the spraying width at will. Spreading control can be performed in the cab or the rear platform.
2. The automatic control system can measure the vehicle speed and automatically calculate the number of revolutions of the asphalt pump according to the input spreading volume, spraying width and asphalt type, and then automatically adjust the number of asphalt pumps through the system.
3. The vehicle-mounted rapid heating system (10-15℃/h) can improve the heating efficiency and reduce the construction auxiliary time and spreading temperature;
4. The flushing nozzle system can blow out the remaining asphalt in the nozzle through diesel and high-pressure air to prevent the asphalt from freezing in the nozzle and increase the service life of the nozzle.

After the emulsified bitumen equipment has been used for a long time, it needs maintenance. There are several points to note when adjusting the emulsified bitumen 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 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 inspection and reinstallation, the coaxiality error between the housing and the main shaft must be corrected with a dial indicator ≤0.05mm;
5. When repairing the machine, it is not allowed to be directly knocked with an iron bell during the disassembly, reinstallation and adjustment process. Use a wooden hammer or a wooden block to knock gently to avoid damaging the parts;
6. The machine seals: 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 casting immediately. The grinding material should be ≥200# silicon carbide grinding paste. If the seal is damaged or cracked seriously, please replace it immediately.

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.

Highways basically use asphalt materials, and asphalt mixing plants can be used to produce a variety of asphalt mixtures. So what are the mixing methods of asphalt mixing plants?
According to the mixing method, it can be divided into: continuous drum type and intermittent forced type. Continuous drum type, that is, the production is produced by continuous and uninterrupted mixing method, and the heating and drying of aggregates and the mixing of mixtures are carried out continuously in the same drum.
Forced intermittent type, that is, the heating and drying of aggregates and the mixing of mixtures are forced to be carried out periodically. The equipment mixes one pot at a time, and each mixing takes 45 to 60 seconds. The output depends on the equipment model.

Emulsified asphalt equipment is an indispensable equipment in road construction and one of the basic equipment for waterproof coatings. What are the components of emulsified asphalt equipment? Today, we will explain the various parts of emulsified asphalt equipment in detail.
Required parts
Asphalt pump: a device for supplying asphalt to the colloid mill.
Emulsion pump: a device for supplying emulsion to the colloid mill.
Colloid mill: a device for mixing, homogenizing and emulsifying asphalt and emulsion.
Control system: a device for controlling the flow of asphalt and emulsion, and the start and stop of various pumps.
Emulsion blending: a device for mixing water, emulsifiers and other additives.
Water heating part: a device for heating water.

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.

The hydraulic reversing valve of asphalt mixing plants is generally not prone to failure, but occasionally there may be untimely phase change, gas leakage, electromagnetic induction pilot valve, etc., and the corresponding fault causes and treatment methods are naturally different.
If the hydraulic reversing valve does not change phase in time, it is mostly caused by poor finish, spring stuck or damaged, oil stains or residue stuck in the drag part, etc. It is necessary to check the condition of the pneumatic triplex and the viscosity of the grease. If necessary, the grease or other parts can be replaced.
During long-term use, the hydraulic reversing valve of the asphalt mixing plant is prone to damage to the valve core sealing ring, valve seat and high-pressure gate valve, causing gas leakage in the valve. At this time, the sealing ring, valve seat and high-pressure gate valve should be replaced, or the hydraulic reversing valve should be replaced in time.
Therefore, in order to more effectively reduce the equipment failure rate of the asphalt mixing plant, it is also necessary to pay attention to the maintenance of machinery and parts.

Asphalt emulsifiers can be divided into synthetic emulsifiers, natural emulsifiers, inorganic powder emulsifiers, etc. according to their formation. Synthetic emulsifiers are currently the most widely used. Asphalt emulsifiers are a type of organically synthesized surfactant that can emulsify asphalt.
Emulsifiers are divided into ionic and non-ionic types according to whether the hydrophilic group of the emulsifier molecule is charged when the emulsifier is dissolved in water. Ionic emulsifiers are divided into cationic and anionic types due to the different charges of the hydrophilic group after ionization in water. In addition, there are zwitterionic types.
Cationic emulsifiers are divided into three types: fast cracking, medium cracking, and slow cracking according to the speed of demulsification. Slow cracking emulsifiers are divided into slow setting and fast setting according to the length of time the mixture solidifies. Slow cracking and slow setting types are mainly used as permeable oils. Slow cracking and fast setting are used for micro-surfacing, slurry sealing, cold regeneration, etc. Medium cracking and fast cracking types are used for adhesive layer oils, gravel sealing layers, and waterproof base oils.
