Classification of asphalt emulsifiers

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.

    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 decanter equipment can be placed in a complex system as an independent unit, replacing the existing heat source de-barreling method, or in parallel as a core component of a large set of equipment, or it can work independently to meet the requirements of small-scale construction operations.
    The Sinoroader bitumen decanter device is mainly composed of a de-barreling box, a lifting mechanism, a hydraulic thruster and an electrical control system. The box is divided into two chambers, the upper chamber is a barreled bitumen melting chamber, and heating coils are evenly distributed around it. The heating pipe and the bitumen barrel mainly exchange heat in a radiation manner to achieve the purpose of bitumen de-barreling. Several guide rails are the tracks for the bitumen barrel to enter. The lower chamber is mainly to continue heating the bitumen removed from the barrel to make the temperature reach the suction pump temperature (100℃), and then the asphalt pump is pumped into the upper chamber. At the same time, an empty barrel is pushed out at the rear end outlet. There is also an oil tank on the platform at the entrance of the asphalt barrel to prevent the dripping bitumen from flowing out.
    The inlet and outlet doors of the device adopt a spring automatic closing mechanism. The door can be automatically closed after the asphalt barrel is pushed in or out to reduce heat loss. A temperature gauge is installed at the asphalt outlet to observe the asphalt outlet temperature. The electrical control system can control the opening and closing of the hydraulic pump and the reversing of the electromagnetic reversing valve to realize the advance and retreat of the hydraulic cylinder. If the heating time is extended, a higher temperature can be obtained. The lifting mechanism adopts a cantilever structure. The bitumen barrel is lifted by an electric hoist, and then moved horizontally to place the bitumen barrel on the guide rail. A temperature gauge is installed at the outlet of the asphalt meltering equipment to observe its outlet temperature.
