    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.

    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%;

    Asphalt mixing stations, also known as asphalt concrete mixing stations, can produce asphalt mixtures, modified asphalt mixtures, and colored asphalt mixtures, which fully meet the needs of building highways, grade roads, municipal roads, airports, ports, etc. Changmeng Electric Power introduces the safety operating procedures of asphalt mixing plants below:
    1. During the operation of the mixing equipment, in addition to ensuring that the equipment is in good condition, it should also be equipped with a mineral moisture content detector and a finished material tester, and the relevant data should be frequently tested for the operator to adjust the operation in time to keep the equipment in good condition.
    2. In addition to affecting production capacity, the moisture content of mineral materials is also the main factor determining fuel consumption. Additional material sheds should be added.
    3. Before operation, all working parts and devices of the mixing equipment should be fully checked to see if they are intact and normal. If there are any problems, they must be properly handled before operation, and it is forbidden to operate with illness.
    4. The operation must be carried out strictly in accordance with the procedures and precautions specified in the instruction manual. After normal ignition, the dust collector should be monitored to ensure that the drying drum burns under negative pressure; after production starts, the hot material elevator and agitator should be monitored to see if they are working normally to coordinate the operation of other parts.
