Does the modified asphalt storage tank need to be drained in winter?

Water is one of the raw materials of the modified asphalt storage tank, and it is distributed in various components of the modified asphalt storage tank equipment. According to the components where water is distributed, the anti-cold measures are explained one by one. The water tank of the modified asphalt storage tank, the water inside the water tank is released through the filter valve. Some instruments of the modified asphalt storage tank do not have a filter valve to save the cost of the equipment. The modified asphalt storage tank can only be drained by loosening the flange bolts at the bottom. The water pump of the modified asphalt storage tank mentioned here includes a hot water pump and a circulating water pump. This type of water pump for the modified asphalt storage tank generally uses a pipeline centrifugal pump. There is a sewage outlet at the bottom of the pipeline centrifugal pump. The modified asphalt storage tank pays attention to the sewage treatment of the sewage outlet at the bottom of the pump. The modified asphalt storage tank emulsion tank generally uses a cone bottom. However, in order to better process the modified asphalt storage tank coefficient, the inlet and outlet are usually not placed at the bottom of the modified asphalt storage tank. Emulsion (mostly water) will remain at the bottom of the tank, and this part of the residual liquid in the modified asphalt storage tank must be discharged through the filter valve at the bottom. Emulsion pump for modified asphalt storage tank There are basically two types of emulsion pumps for modified asphalt storage tank equipment on the market, gear pumps or centrifugal water pumps. Gear pumps can only discharge the liquid inside the pump through the connection flange of the pipeline. The centrifugal water pump for modified asphalt storage tanks uses its own sewage outlet for sewage treatment. The first four items of modified asphalt storage tanks with basic knowledge are basically discharged, and the modified asphalt storage tanks will focus on the latter types. Modified asphalt storage tank colloid mill There will also be residual emulsion or water inside the modified asphalt storage tank colloid mill. The gap between the stator and rotor of the colloid mill is within 1mm. If there is a little residual water in the modified asphalt storage tank, it will cause the accident of frozen modified asphalt storage tank. The residue in the colloid mill can be treated by loosening the connection bolts of the finished product pipeline.

The residue in the colloid mill can be treated by loosening the connection bolts of the finished product pipeline.
Heat exchanger, the heat exchanger in the modified asphalt storage tank equipment must be emptied of both hot and cold substances. The gate valve of the modified asphalt storage tank is the key. When draining water or emulsion pipelines, the ball valve of the modified asphalt storage tank must be in the open state. If there is water in the gate valve of the modified asphalt storage tank during operation or the vacuum pump is formed due to the closing of the gate valve, and the liquid in the pump and pipeline is not cleared, it will cause the modified asphalt storage tank to rupture.
Modified asphalt storage tank air pump, many modified asphalt storage tank equipment valve bodies use pneumatic type, and there will be an air pump component. The water content in the air, after the modified asphalt storage tank shrinks, will become water stored in the tank. To prevent cold in winter, these water must be released. Modified asphalt storage tank colloid mill cooling circulating water, many colloid mills use mechanical seals, so cooling circulating water will be used. This part of cooling circulating water must be released.
Other areas where water may be stored in the modified asphalt storage tank. The high-temperature thermal oil pipeline of the modified asphalt storage tank is not easy to condense in winter and does not need to be emptied. The bitumen in the modified asphalt storage tank will solidify in winter, but the volume is not easy to increase during the solidification process and does not need to be emptied.

    More Road Maintenance

    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.

    Highway preventive maintenance construction methods and application scenarios are key measures to ensure the long-term performance of highways and extend their service life. The following are common construction methods and their application scenarios:
    1. Micro-surfacing
    Construction method: Mix emulsified asphalt, aggregate, filler, etc. and spread them on the road surface to form a thin layer of protection.
    Application scenario: Suitable for roads with slight cracks and slight rutting, which can effectively prevent water and slip and delay aging.
    2. Slurry seal
    Construction method: Spread with emulsified asphalt, aggregate and other mixtures to form a thicker protective layer.
    Application scenario: Suitable for moderate cracks and rutting, with significant waterproof and anti-slip effects, and often used on roads with heavy traffic.
    3. Mist seal
    Construction method: Spray emulsified asphalt or regeneration agent to penetrate the road surface and restore the asphalt performance.
    Application scenario: Suitable for aging and slightly cracked roads, which can effectively seal small cracks and delay further damage.
    4. Chip seal
    Construction method: first spray asphalt, then cover with gravel, and roll to form a protective layer.
    Application scenario: suitable for moderately damaged roads, with good waterproof and anti-skid effects, often used in rural or low-traffic roads.
    5. Thin layer overlay
    Construction method: lay a thin layer of hot-mixed asphalt mixture to form a new pavement layer.
    Application scenario: suitable for moderate cracks and rutting, which can significantly improve the smoothness and anti-skid performance of the road surface.
    6. Crack sealing
    Construction method: use asphalt or rubber materials to fill cracks to prevent water penetration.
    Application scenario: suitable for roads with obvious cracks, which can effectively prevent crack expansion and water intrusion.
    7. Pavement regeneration
    Construction method: reuse old pavement materials through cold regeneration or hot regeneration technology.
    Application scenario: suitable for roads with large-scale damage, which can save materials and extend service life.
    8. Local repair
    Construction method: repair the local damaged area to restore the smoothness of the road surface.
    Application scenarios: Suitable for local potholes, cracks, etc., and can quickly restore the function of the road surface.
    9. Anti-skid treatment
    Construction method: Improve the friction coefficient of the road surface by grooving or laying an anti-skid layer.
    Application scenarios: Suitable for slippery sections, such as curves and ramps, which can significantly improve driving safety.
    10. Drainage treatment
    Construction method: Improve drainage facilities, such as adding drainage ditches and permeable pavements.
    Application scenarios: Suitable for sections with serious water accumulation, which can effectively prevent water damage and extend the life of the road surface.
    Summary
    There are various methods for highway preventive maintenance construction, and the selection should be based on comprehensive considerations of factors such as the degree of road damage, traffic volume, and climate. Reasonable preventive maintenance can not only extend the life of the road, but also improve driving safety and comfort.

    Emulsified 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 emulsified asphalt equipment to fully demonstrate its performance; modified asphalt equipment is an asphalt binder made by adding rubber, resin, high molecular polymer, ground rubber powder or other fillers and other admixtures (modifiers), or taking measures such as mild oxidation of asphalt to improve the performance of asphalt or asphalt mixture; So how much do you know about the safe use and operation of modified asphalt equipment? Today, the editor will tell you;
    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 the stability of the machine during work.
    Regularly inspect whether the mixer blades are deformed and whether the screws are loose.
    Inspect 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.
    Before powering on, you should inspect and test run the empty vehicle, 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 the machine and check the asphalt tank.
    Note: After the asphalt material is mixed, it is best to stop the machine for one hour, clean the drain material in 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 the blades are prone to rust. During use, everyone should pay attention to these small links to avoid unnecessary losses to their work.

    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.
