Brief analysis of the difference between “asphalt” and “emulsified asphalt”

The heating principle of asphalt decanter equipment is to heat, melt and decanter the asphalt through the heating plate. It is mainly composed of de-barreling box, lifting system, propeller and electrical control system.
The box of asphalt decanter plant is divided into upper and lower chambers. The upper chamber is the asphalt melting chamber, which is densely covered with heat transfer oil heating coils or hot air heating pipes. The asphalt is melted and removed from the barrel by heat. The hoisting hook is installed on the gantry, and a barrel grabber is hung. The asphalt barrel is lifted by the electric winch, and then the asphalt barrel is placed on the guide rail by horizontal movement. Then the propeller pushes the barrel into the upper chamber through two guide rails, and an empty barrel is pushed out at the rear end outlet.
An anti-drip oil tank is provided at the entrance of the asphalt barrel. The asphalt enters the lower chamber of the box and is continuously heated to a temperature of about 100 to be transported, and then pumped into the asphalt tank by the asphalt pump. The lower chamber can also be used as an asphalt heating tank.
The asphalt decanter plant has the characteristics of not being restricted by the construction environment, strong adaptability and extremely low failure rate. If large production is required, multiple units can be assembled.

Emulsified asphalt can be spread by mechanical spreading and manual spreading. Different spreading methods will have different effects on pavement performance, so it is very important to choose the right spreading method. At the same time, maintenance and management after spreading are equally important to ensure the safety and durability of the pavement.
Emulsified asphalt is a common pavement material that is widely used in road construction and maintenance. There are two main ways to spread emulsified asphalt: mechanical spreading and manual spreading. Mechanical spreading generally uses a special spreading vehicle that can quickly and evenly spread emulsified asphalt. Manual spreading is carried out by workers using tools such as brushes or rollers, which is suitable for pavement treatment in small areas or special areas.
Different spreading methods also have different effects on pavement performance. Mechanical spreading can quickly complete large-area treatment and spread evenly, which is conducive to ensuring the flatness and anti-skid properties of the pavement. Manual spreading can more finely treat special areas such as shoulders and intersections to improve the overall performance of the pavement.

1. Different production processes
Emulsified asphalt and asphalt are both extracted from petroleum, but their production processes are different. Asphalt is separated from crude oil by high-temperature treatment, and then processed through a series of complex processing processes such as distillation and fluidized hydrogenation. Emulsified asphalt, on the other hand, is made by adding an emulsifier, mechanical shearing or ultrasonic “emulsification” reaction, dispersing oil and water to form an emulsion, and then adding an appropriate amount of acid catalyst.
2. Different usage scenarios
Asphalt is suitable for paving in different places such as roads, bridges, airport runways, and parking lots. Emulsified asphalt is particularly suitable for use under more stringent conditions such as deep road repair and bridge deck waterproofing. Because emulsified asphalt produced by emulsification technology has better performance and can better adapt to complex usage environments.
3. Different characteristics
Asphalt is a black, viscous substance with fluffy fibers, a high melting point, high hardness, and easy aging. In comparison, emulsified asphalt is lighter in color, light gray or milky white, with moderate viscosity and uniformity, good adhesion, good water and weather resistance, and not easy to age.
4. Different use effects
Although asphalt works well on the road surface, it also has certain difficulties in construction and maintenance. Emulsified asphalt is more convenient to use and can be easily mixed with other materials during construction, so it is widely popular and has better use effects.
In summary, there are obvious differences between emulsified asphalt and asphalt in production process, usage scenarios, characteristics, and use effects, and appropriate materials need to be selected according to different needs.

In the application, the asphalt spreader has intelligent asphalt spreading rate and low investment, low power consumption, low cost, high thermal efficiency. The asphalt spreader can reach the temperature required for construction in a short time. It is easy to use and move. It can be operated by one person. A set of electric heaters is a bit expensive. In the production process of the asphalt spreader, water, as a production material, needs to be heated from room temperature to about 55°C. The evaporation heat of the asphalt spreader is transferred to the drainage. It is found that after the emulsified asphalt is produced for 5 tons, the asphalt spreader is accompanied by a significant increase in the temperature of the cooling circulating water. The production water uses cooling circulating water, and the water basically does not need to be heated. It can save 1/2 of the fuel simply from the energy.

Modified asphalt equipment is a widely used asphalt equipment. Now its ultra-high performance has been widely praised by users. However, we must first use the modified asphalt equipment safely to fully demonstrate its performance. So how much do you know about the safe use and operation of modified asphalt equipment? Today, Sinoroader 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 dangling 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, stop the car for verification.
5. If the asphalt material is stopped for one hour after mixing, clean the mixing barrel, pour in clean water, and clean the mortar. Then drain the water, remember that there must be no water in the bucket to prevent the formula from changing, and even rust on the pages and other links. During use, everyone should pay attention to some small links to avoid unnecessary losses in their work.

The advantages of Sinoroader bitumen decanter equipment over similar domestic equipment are reflected in the following points:
1. The equipment produces 8-10t/hour, with an automatic telescopic sealed container structure. It uses an electric hoist to lift the asphalt barrel at the inlet guide tube. Start to control the hydraulic cart forward button, which will promote the barrel push (push and slide into the barrel). It is a 1300mm hydraulic cylinder with a 7.5-ton top thrust. The device has a beautiful appearance, reasonable layout, compactness, stable performance, and is suitable for production under various industrial and mining conditions.
2. Fast barrel removal: According to the principle of layered heating, it adopts four-layer thermal oil heating technology, a single inlet and outlet, and high thermal efficiency of heating; at the same time, it uses the waste heat of combustion gas for two heatings and efficient use of energy; the barrel body uses high-quality rock wool insulation material.
3. Good environmental protection: closed structure, no pollution.
4. No barrel hanging: The upper part of the asphalt barrel is hot, and each is directly affected by the thermal oil heating pipe. The barrel wall directly receives the heat dissipation of the heating coil, and the barrel is clean and fast, which will not cause waste of asphalt barrel hanging.
5. Strong adaptability: Suitable for imported and domestic barrels, and the deformation of asphalt barrels will not affect production.
6. Good dehydration: Use a large-displacement asphalt pump for internal circulation, stirring, water vapor overflows, and is naturally discharged from the exhaust port. After dehydration, asphalt can be directly used to produce asphalt mixture or used as matrix asphalt.
7. Automatic slag removal: This set of equipment has an automatic slag removal function. The filter device sets the asphalt circulation pipeline through the filter, which can automatically remove the barreled asphalt slag.
8. Safe and reliable: The equipment adopts an automatic control system, an automatic ignition burner import, can automatically control the temperature according to the temperature, and is equipped with corresponding monitoring instruments.
9. Convenient relocation: The whole machine is assembled with large components, which is easy to move and quick to assemble.

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

With the continuous improvement of science and technology in my country, the application and popularization of bitumen emulsion equipment are also increasing. So how to check whether the configuration meets the standards? Only products that meet the standards can bring us benefits. We must pay attention to this issue. Next, please have a detailed understanding with our factory staff:
1. First of all, we need to check the modified emulsifier. If the gap between the bitumen emulsion colloid mill of the emulsifier will become larger during operation, we need to adjust it before continuous production;
2. Analyze the problem of the modifier. Under normal circumstances, we need to check whether the amount of modifier added is accurate. The time of addition should also adjust the pH value according to the difference in water quality used. This work needs to be operated by technical personnel;
3. Another major reason is caused by the problem of the bitumen emulsion configuration itself. When producing bitumen emulsion, it is necessary to check in advance whether the bitumen material used meets the quality standards.

Everyone has a side of themselves that they don’t want others to know. As a preventive road maintenance technology, slurry sealing has some shortcomings. do you think so?
Slurry seal is a kind of road protection that uses special equipment to mix emulsified asphalt, water, additives, aggregates, fillers and other ingredients in a certain proportion, and then mixes the slurry mixture onto the original road surface to form a thin layer. Maintenance technology. These are all well known. The editor will not go into details on this.

Is the performance of Sinoroader’s fully automatic emulsified asphalt production equipment stable and unstable? To be honest, whether the performance of a product is stable or not can only be known through practice, right?
Chairman Mao, the great leader of China, once said, “Without practice, there is no right to speak.” Yes, people who have never used it naturally have no right to speak. Now the editor will talk about the fully automatic emulsified asphalt production equipment that I am using!

Contemporary roads and pavements have undergone many changes: traffic volume and driving frequency have increased significantly, the axle load of logistics trucks has continued to increase, one-way driving in separate lanes has been widely implemented, and regulations have further improved the anti-flow resistance of the ground, that is, the work of modified asphalt equipment under high temperatures ability;

Asphalt spreader vehicle is an intelligent and automated high-tech product that specializes in spreading emulsified asphalt, diluted asphalt, hot asphalt, high-viscosity modified asphalt, etc.
Asphalt spreader is used for spreading the penetration oil, waterproof layer, and bonding layer of the bottom layer of the asphalt pavement of high-grade highways. The spreader consists of a car chassis, an asphalt tank, an asphalt pumping and spraying system, a thermal oil heating system, a hydraulic system, an ignition system, a control system, a pneumatic system, and an operating platform.
Asphalt spreader is cumbersome to operate. On the basis of absorbing various technologies of similar products at home and abroad, it increases the quality technology content of construction and the humanized design of outstanding improvement of construction conditions and construction environment. Its reasonable and reliable design ensures the uniformity of asphalt spreading, the computer control is stable and reliable, and the technical performance of the whole vehicle has reached an advanced level.

No matter what product is used, after using it for a period of time, some large and small problems will inevitably arise, which will affect our work, just like the use of asphalt heating equipment will cause problems such as uneven asphalt pavement. We know that for the use of asphalt heating equipment, the construction of asphalt pavement is affected by many factors, including the quality of construction personnel, the quality of roadbed construction, the treatment of the two sections of the bridgehead culvert and the expansion joint of the bridge, the construction of the road subbase and base, the selection of road construction machinery and the quality of road materials. These are the main reasons affecting the flatness of the road surface.
In order to better help customers apply it, professionals introduce the use of asphalt heating equipment. Flatness is an important indicator for measuring the quality of high-grade pavement. Unsmooth pavement will increase driving resistance and cause additional vibrations in the vehicle, which will directly affect the safety and comfort of driving. At the same time, it will aggravate the damage of automobile parts and tires and increase fuel consumption.

The viscosity of the drum bitumen decanter equipment decreases as the temperature increases during the production process. Its output viscosity is about twice as high as every 12°C increase. During production, the base bitumen decanter equipment must first be heated to a liquid state and then emulsified. In order to better integrate the emulsification ability of colloid milling, the viscosity of base bitumen decanter is generally controlled to be about 200 cst. The lower the temperature, the higher the viscosity, which increases the pressure on the bitumen decanter pump and colloid milling, making emulsification impossible: However, on the other hand, in order to prevent the bitumen decanter equipment from weaning when the moisture of the finished product evaporates, it is impossible to heat the base asphalt barrel removal temperature too high, and generally use a colloid grinding inlet and outlet system. The finished product temperature should be below 85°C.

Asphalt emulsifier is an emulsifier that belongs to the category of surfactants and is a raw material for the production of emulsified asphalt.
Emulsifiers are divided into: synthetic emulsifiers, natural emulsifiers, inorganic powder emulsifiers, etc. Currently, synthetic emulsifiers are widely used. Asphalt emulsifier is a type of chemical organically synthesized surfactant.

Conventional pit repair techniques are mainly hot material repair and cold filling repair, and warm mixing technology is used to ensure compaction, while there are also some special repair methods such as slurry seal/micro-surface material repair

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

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.

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

Improve the understanding of the importance of preventive maintenance
We should further improve the understanding of the importance of preventive maintenance and raise preventive maintenance to the level of highway asset protection and road protection. At present, leaders at all levels and maintenance departments do not fully understand the significance of preventive maintenance of asphalt pavement. We should deepen our understanding of the important role of preventive maintenance and improve the strategic awareness, initiative and creativity of preventive maintenance. At the same time, the maintenance department should strengthen communication and exchanges with transportation authorities and financial management departments at all levels, so that departments at all levels understand the importance and necessity of preventive maintenance and create conditions for the implementation of preventive maintenance and funding sources. At the same time, it is very necessary to add preventive maintenance to the classification of maintenance projects, which will help the management of leaders at all levels and the implementation of preventive maintenance.
Improve the decision-making and planning of preventive maintenance
According to the decision-making and planning process, reasonably arrange the preventive maintenance of asphalt concrete pavement structure to ensure the safe and stable operation of highway projects throughout the life cycle, and reduce production costs while providing high-quality traffic services. Therefore, the key to preventive maintenance of asphalt concrete pavement structure lies in establishing a scientific decision-making and planning mechanism. The Ministry of Transport proposed in the “13th Five-Year Plan for Highway Maintenance Management Development” that the average annual mileage of preventive maintenance for expressways should not be less than 8%, and that for ordinary national and provincial roads should not be less than 5%. In the actual application process, local governments should also actively summarize experience and propose different preventive maintenance ratios based on the specific conditions of different regions.

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

According to statistics, among the high-grade highways that have been built and opened to traffic in my country, about 80% are asphalt pavements. However, with the development of time, the influence of various climatic and environmental factors, and the high-intensity driving load, the asphalt pavement will have different degrees of degradation or damage. Pavement maintenance is to take effective technical means to slow down this degradation, so that the pavement can provide good service quality during its service life.

The main filter material of stainless steel barrel removal adopts five-layer sintered mesh. Standard five-layer calcination is made by stacking and vacuum calcining five layers of stainless steel barrel removal wire mesh. The stainless steel barrel made of it has corrosion resistance, good water permeability, high compressive strength, easy cleaning and back-cleaning, high filtration precision, hygienic and clean filter material, and stainless steel barrel removal wire mesh does not fall off.
Double-layer metal sintered mesh is a new type of filtration system with high impact toughness and overall rigidity, which is made by stacking and vacuum calcining double-layer stainless steel barrel removal wire mesh products.

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

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

Different varieties of asphalt should adjust the amount of emulsifier, and the use test should be derived from the test.

Some of the equipment of emulsified modified bitumen equipment are as follows. The specially made bitumen filter can effectively filter the residues and dirt in the high-temperature culture medium bitumen to avoid damage to the subsequent equipment. The emulsified modified bitumen equipment adopts a spiral plate type or a shell and tube heat exchanger to quickly heat the culture medium bitumen through high-temperature heat transfer oil to meet the needs of the production process. The emulsified modified bitumen equipment is heated in the storage tank to prevent the bitumen from aging due to long-term high-temperature heating and exposure to the air. The sulfate generated during the production process of the emulsified modified bitumen equipment is very limited, reducing air pollution.
The emulsified modified bitumen equipment sends the modified material manually poured into the dumping bin to the bitumen batching tank by wind or spiral. It can be equipped with a metering and calibration system. The emulsified modified bitumen equipment thickener is automatically or manually added. The emulsified modified bitumen equipment can be equipped with a metering and calibration system. Emulsified modified bitumen equipment transportation and metering and calibration system, the emulsified modified bitumen equipment adds the set bitumen amount to the batching tank through the frequency converter and computer interlock. The emulsified modified bitumen equipment and bitumen steam flowmeter use big brand products to ensure the preparation.

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.

As a black road construction machinery, the synchronous chip sealer is the main equipment for highways, urban roads, airports, and port terminal facilities. Do you know what kind of synchronous chip sealer? What products do you have to choose from?
Asphalt dispensers are classified according to the purpose, operation mode, and drive mode of the asphalt pump. According to the purpose, asphalt dispensers can be divided into two types: road use and road construction use. The asphalt tank capacity of the asphalt dispenser used for road construction generally does not exceed 400L, while the asphalt tank capacity of the asphalt dispenser used for road construction is 3000-20000L.
