Asphalt mixing plant drying drum should be properly maintained

Asphalt concrete mixing equipment generally uses conveyor belt conveyors to transport cold materials. Its main advantages are large conveying capacity, continuous operation, simple equipment structure and automatic control. However, belt deviation is a common fault, which directly affects the drying operation of the drying drum and also affects the production efficiency of the mixing equipment. Therefore, it is very important for the asphalt mixing station to solve the belt deviation problem at the operation site of the asphalt concrete mixing equipment.

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.

Asphalt mixing equipment is equipment used to produce asphalt concrete in large quantities. Because this equipment is affected by various factors during the production process, some problems will inevitably occur after a period of use. Sinoroader Group The editor of the asphalt mixing equipment company of China Machinery Co., Ltd. will introduce to you the methods of rescuing damaged parts in asphalt mixing equipment.
Asphalt mixing equipment encounters different problems, and the solutions are also different. For example, one of the common problems of asphalt mixing equipment is that parts are worn out and damaged. The solution that needs to be done at this time is to start from the production of parts. Just start improving.

Synchronous gravel sealing in road maintenance can quickly improve road driving performance, repair anti-skid performance, smoothness, etc. It is used in preventive maintenance and is also one of the methods of low-grade road pavement construction. Synchronous gravel seal has the advantages of high strength, rough surface, non-slip, impermeable, good durability, and prevention of water mist when driving on rainy days. The so-called synchronous gravel sealing layer is to use special equipment, namely the synchronous gravel sealing truck and the bonding material (modified asphalt or modified emulsified asphalt) to be spread simultaneously on the road surface, and the single layer of asphalt wear is formed by natural driving or rolling with a road roller. layer, mainly used as asphalt surface layer.

Main uses of asphalt mixing plant
Asphalt mixing plant, also called asphalt concrete mixing plant, can produce asphalt mixture, modified asphalt mixture, and colorful asphalt mixture, fully meeting the needs of constructing expressways, graded highways, municipal roads, airports, ports, etc.
The overall composition of asphalt mixing plant
Asphalt mixing equipment mainly consists of batching system, drying system, incineration system, hot material improvement, vibrating screen, hot material storage bin, weighing mixing system, asphalt supply system, powder supply system, dust removal system, product silo and control system, etc. Some composition.

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 plug valve is a rotary valve in the shape of a closure or plunger. After rotating 90 degrees, the channel opening on the valve plug is the same as or separated from the channel opening on the valve body to complete opening or closing. It is widely used in oilfield excavation, transportation and refining equipment, and such valves are also needed in asphalt mixing plants.
The valve plug of the plug valve in the asphalt mixing plant can be cylindrical or conical. In the cylindrical valve plug, the channel is generally rectangular; in the conical valve plug, the channel is trapezoidal. These shapes make the structure of the plug valve light and very suitable for blocking and connecting media and diversion.

Safety is the key point for any piece of equipment, and asphalt mixers are of course no exception. What I want to share with you is the knowledge in this area, that is, the safe operation specifications of asphalt mixers. You might as well pay attention to it.

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.

When an ordinary asphalt mixing station completes the mixing operation, it will cause great pollution to the surrounding environment. In order to solve this problem, environmentally friendly asphalt mixing equipment came into being. What are the characteristics of this type of equipment?

In the construction industry, the installation and application of asphalt mixing plants can often be seen. This kind of equipment can complete the processing process of limestone and other powder products. The equipment has a reasonable structure and high working efficiency. It can save more costs for manufacturers during the production of asphalt raw materials. Therefore, the construction and other industries now attach great importance to the application of this equipment. During the production and processing of the equipment, the staff also need to pay attention to several operating skills to ensure that the equipment can operate stably and provide more benefits for production work.

1: The site should be located on higher ground and away from residential areas and densely populated areas.
Because part of the equipment of the mixing station is installed below the ground, in order to avoid continuous rainfall. The equipment will suffer disaster, and the changing aggregate moisture content will affect the concrete quality. Quality accidents are prone to occur. Therefore, during site construction, attention should be paid to the construction of drainage pipelines and sand and gravel quarries. With the rapid development of cities. With the continuous expansion of urban scale, environmental protection requirements will become more and more stringent. Urban roads prohibit gravel vehicles from passing, so concrete mixing plants should be built far away from urban areas.

In recent years, asphalt pavement has dominated highway surfaces. With the rapid development of our country’s national economy, highway traffic volume is increasing, axle loads are increasing rapidly, vehicle speeds are increasing, and there are more and more quality problems occurring on asphalt pavements. Some are damaged after repair, and some have a service life of up to Less than design age. This has put forward increasingly higher requirements for the quality of asphalt pavement, and an important factor affecting the performance of asphalt surface layers is the gradation composition of the mixture. This article discusses the mix design of asphalt mixture.

Asphalt mixing equipment has a special function, which is that it can perform cyclic heating to make the asphalt product reach the best condition. But how does it achieve this function? Everyone is curious about this.

Asphalt mixing plants play a big role in industry. Before talking about asphalt mixing plants, let’s first understand asphalt. Asphalt is a dark brown, high-viscosity organic liquid composed of hydrocarbons and non-metallic substances of different molecular weights. The surface is black and soluble in carbon disulfide. It is a waterproof, moisture-proof and anti-corrosion organic gelling material. When it comes to asphalt, it can be mainly divided into three types: coal tar asphalt, petroleum asphalt and natural asphalt: among them, coal tar asphalt is a by-product of coking. Petroleum asphalt is the residue after crude oil distillation. Natural asphalt is stored underground, and some form mineral layers or accumulate on the surface of the earth’s crust.

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%;

Due to its complexity and importance, asphalt mixing plants are more critical in road construction. Modern asphalt mixing stations have five key systems. Do you know what they are?
1. Mixing system of asphalt mixing plant
Mixing equipment is one of the key systems, why? Usually, the productivity of the mixing equipment has a great impact on the next step of construction efficiency. Most asphalt mixing plants use twin-shaft forced mixing. Since the drying drum and burner of the mixing equipment have strong overload capabilities, and in most cases, the moisture content of the mineral materials is less than 5%, this improves the productivity of the mixing equipment. provide conditions. The mixing blades of the mixer have an adjustable assembly angle and are driven by dual mixing shafts and dual motors.

Asphalt mixing plant refers to a complete set of equipment used for batch production of asphalt concrete. Its main function is to produce asphalt mixture, colored asphalt mixture, etc., and has been widely used in road construction. However, during the production process of asphalt mixture, pollutants such as noise, dust, and asphalt smoke will be produced, seriously polluting the environment and threatening the health of workers. Therefore, under the current background of building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society in our country, it is very important to save energy and reduce consumption during the use of asphalt mixing plants. The following article mainly starts from the three factors that affect the asphalt mixing plant, and explores the energy saving and consumption reduction measures of the asphalt mixing plant, aiming to reduce the cost of asphalt production and improve the efficiency of the asphalt plant.

There is also a reversing valve in the asphalt mixer, which generally does not cause problems, so I have not understood its solution in detail before. But in actual use, we encountered this kind of failure. How should we deal with it?

The drive unit is one of the important components of the asphalt mixing plant, so whether it can be reliably operated must be highly valued to avoid adverse effects on the entire asphalt mixing plant. In order to ensure that the drive unit in the asphalt mixing plant is indeed complete and reliable, the following maintenance measures are essential.
The first thing to pay attention to is the universal rotating part of the drive unit of the asphalt mixing plant. This part has always been a fault-prone part. In order to reduce the occurrence of faults, grease should be added on time, and the wear should be checked frequently, and repaired and replaced in time. Users should also prepare the universal shaft assembly to avoid affecting the working process of the entire asphalt mixer.
Secondly, the cleanliness of the hydraulic oil used in the asphalt mixing plant must be ensured. After all, the working environment of the equipment is relatively harsh, so it is necessary to prevent sewage and mud from entering the hydraulic system. The hydraulic oil should also be replaced regularly according to the requirements of the manual. Once water or mud is found mixed in the hydraulic oil during inspection, the hydraulic system should be stopped immediately to clean the hydraulic system and replace the hydraulic oil.
Since there is a hydraulic system, of course, a matching cooling device is also required, which is also an important focus in the drive system of the asphalt mixing plant. To ensure that its function can be fully exerted, on the one hand, the hydraulic oil radiator should be cleaned regularly to prevent the radiator from being blocked by cement; on the other hand, the radiator electric fan should be checked to see if it is running normally to prevent the hydraulic oil temperature from exceeding the standard.
In general, as long as the hydraulic oil of the asphalt mixing plant drive device is kept clean, there are generally few faults; but the service life varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, so pay attention to its alkalinity observation and replace it in real time.

In the 21st century, with the booming development of modern engineering construction, complex integrated supporting equipment has been invested in large quantities. Its complex process and more independent operating components have relatively high requirements for the performance of its equipment control system. The application of PLC in asphalt mixing station realizes the control of the entire process of asphalt mixing station, which facilitates the construction of modern engineering construction. Therefore, this article discusses and analyzes the application of PLC in asphalt mixing station, which has certain economic value and practical significance.

The renovation of the combustion-supporting system of the asphalt mixing plant and the use of DC frequency conversion CNC machining technology are all renovations of the original system. In addition to the above renovation plans, with the existing equipment and personnel, what other measures can be taken in the application to reduce the operating costs of concrete mixing plants?
At present, China has no mandatory national industry standards for heavy residual oil, and the quality of fuel oil varies greatly. Even from the same dealer, the quality difference between batches is very large, and it contains more residues. Therefore, bridge inspection equipment should be installed on the construction site, and professional personnel should inspect various performance parameters of gasoline and diesel to strictly control quality.
When the burner is working, if the flame of the combustion aid is red and the smoke from the ash removal chimney is black, this is the manifestation of poor atomization of gasoline and diesel and insufficient combustion aid. At this time, the following measures should be taken to deal with it: properly adjust the distance between the nozzle and the vortex plate, generally push it inward to a suitable distance, the purpose is to prevent the atomized oil cone sprayed from the nozzle from spraying into the vortex plate; effectively adjust the ratio of gasoline and diesel to gas, so that the gasoline and diesel increase the mass conversion law slowly, or the gas increase the mass conversion law quickly; promptly remove the carbon deposits and coke around the nozzle to prevent the flame from deflecting; heavy residual oil contains more residues, which can easily cause serious damage to the high-pressure oil pump and increase the working pressure, affecting the actual effect of atomization and the shape of the flame, so the high-pressure oil pump must be repaired or replaced in time; install metal filter devices in front of the first and second high-pressure oil pumps, and clean them frequently to prevent the residues in the gasoline and diesel from blocking the nozzle.
The operators should be trained in professional skills on a regular basis to strengthen their job responsibilities and moral education, so that they can establish their respective job responsibilities, understand the importance of their positions, understand the content of their work, and improve their professional level. Skilled operators can properly control the temperature of the asphalt mixing plant mixture to avoid gasoline and diesel waste.
In order to improve the combustion-supporting effect and effectively reduce the operating costs of asphalt mixing stations, Sinoroader Group kindly reminds that the following issues should be noted when using the burner in the asphalt mixing station: To improve the maintenance of the burner, the burner nozzle should be cleaned of charred materials and carbon deposits on the ignition electrode regularly. The nozzle can be disassembled according to the atomization status; the air-oil ratio of the burner is generally not adjusted, and the fuel pump pressure can be adjusted according to the smoke status and the temperature of the asphalt mixture; the sulfur dioxide generated by the combustion of light fuel oil has a strong corrosion to the bag, so the bag should be maintained regularly and the air pressure changes in the bag should be paid close attention to; water deashing will produce more foam, causing the sand settling tank to flow out, so the sand settling tank should be cleaned in time, and a watering design should be carried out to settle the foam; when the steam pressure decreases or the gear oil pump noise increases, the gear oil pump must be replaced.
When the burner is started, the fuel oil circulation system should be completed through the valve, and then the burner control box should be opened to start the burner. If the electronic ignition of the fuel oil fails, you can change the inlet tee and use the diesel engine for ignition. After the ignition is successful for 2 minutes, you can convert it into fuel oil. In this way, even the light fuel oil of lower quality can ensure combustion.

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.

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 equipment is also divided into fixed and mobile types. There are still big differences between the two to a certain extent. Let’s take a look at the design of mobile asphalt mixing equipment. What advantages can bring to the equipment?

Asphalt mixing station is the standard for mixing asphalt. Having said that, many people still think that this has nothing to do with us. We don’t use asphalt, but do you know that our roads are made of asphalt? When I was a child, I used asphalt to pluck pig hair. The hair on the pig’s head was indeed clean. When using asphalt, it must be burned hot, because if it is cold, it will be very hard and cannot be used. Therefore, if a large amount of asphalt is needed, there must be an asphalt mixer because there is no more convenient equipment than it.
What kind of source material is asphalt that requires special equipment. Asphalt is a black-brown, high-viscosity organic liquid composed of hydrocarbons and non-metallic substances of different molecular weights. The surface is black and soluble in carbon disulfide. At the same time, it is also a waterproof, moisture-proof and anti-corrosion organic gelling material. It can be mainly divided into three types: coal tar asphalt, petroleum asphalt and natural asphalt. Asphalt is mainly used in industries such as coatings, plastics, rubber, and paving roads.

It is inevitable that the asphalt mixing plant will have insufficient pumping force during use. In fact, during the construction process, as long as the asphalt mixing station is operated in accordance with regulations, and the accessories are cleaned and replaced in time, the asphalt mixing plant will generally not have insufficient pumping force. Now the editor of the asphalt mixing station manufacturer briefly introduces the common solutions to insufficient pumping force of asphalt mixing plant as follows.

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.

After use, asphalt mixing equipment needs to be disassembled, cleaned, and maintained before it can be saved for next use. Not only is the disassembly process of the equipment important, but the previous preparation work also has a greater impact, so it cannot be neglected. Please pay attention to the detailed introduction below for specific content.
