    The drying cylinder is a cylindrical device in asphalt concrete mixing equipment specifically designed for heating and drying aggregates. Proper use and maintenance of the drying cylinder can maximize its performance, extend its service life, and reduce operating costs. Below are the specific operating methods.
    1. Emphasize Routine Inspections
    The asphalt mixing equipment drying cylinder has been tested and inspected before leaving the factory, but it will be subjected to bumps and vibrations during transportation to the construction site. A comprehensive inspection should be performed before use: check if the bolts are tightened; if the key pins are reliably driven in; if the drive unit is adjusted according to the manufacturer’s instructions; if the pipe connections are correct and the pipe joints are safe and reliable; if the entire machine is thoroughly lubricated; start the motor and check if the machine parts can rotate smoothly in the correct direction; if the pressure gauge is working properly and the safety valve is adjusted to the correct pressure; if the burner ignition mechanism is working properly and the valves are open.
    2. Correct Operating Methods
    After starting the machine, it is recommended to operate the equipment manually at the beginning. After reaching the specified production capacity and unloading temperature, then switch to automatic control mode. Aggregates should be dried and have a consistent moisture content to maintain a constant temperature as they flow through the drying drum. If the aggregates supplied to the drying drum change frequently, and the moisture content of each batch varies, the burners should be adjusted regularly to compensate for these variations.
    Aggregates directly from crushed stone have an almost constant moisture content, while aggregates from open stockpiles have a higher moisture content, and the moisture content varies greatly between different stockpiles. Therefore, it is best to source aggregates from the same source.

    The main principle of asphalt hot recycling technology is to process and recycle the aged and damaged materials of the asphalt pavement to be repaired. In this process, the old material is transformed into new material, thus achieving the repair of asphalt pavement materials. The advantage of this technology is that it enables the recycling of existing materials.
    With the rapid development of my country’s highway industry, the proportion of asphalt concrete pavement is increasing. In recent years, the development of the transportation industry has led to a significant increase in large, overloaded, and overweight vehicles. Asphalt concrete pavements in most parts of my country have developed numerous road defects such as cracks, ruts, loosening, subsidence, and potholes, increasing the difficulty of highway maintenance and raising maintenance costs year by year, while also compromising pedestrian safety. To reduce costs and minimize environmental pollution from used asphalt, the widespread adoption of asphalt hot recycling technology will yield significant economic benefits in preventing pollution, protecting the environment, reducing stone mining, and saving money.
    In recent years, the continuous development of road engineering in my country and the increase in transportation volume have accelerated the aging and damage of roads. Therefore, to ensure the necessity of people’s travel and production transportation, we must address these road problems in a timely manner. Simply replacing the road surface is detrimental to energy conservation. Therefore, with the joint efforts of relevant departments, we have explored a new method for repairing old asphalt pavements: hot asphalt recycling technology. The main working principle of hot asphalt recycling is to utilize existing asphalt materials available on the road, fill and modify them according to their intended use, and then combine these two materials to complete the reconstruction of the old pavement’s asphalt structure.
    The advantage of hot asphalt recycling technology is that it achieves environmental protection and resource conservation during the reconstruction process. This is also an important manifestation of meeting the requirements of today’s road industry development.

    In our daily lives and work, many equipment malfunctions not due to inherent quality issues, but rather due to improper use or lack of proper maintenance. Maintenance is a crucial aspect often overlooked. Sometimes, proper maintenance can at least double the lifespan of equipment. Below, we introduce some maintenance techniques for asphalt mixing plants, hoping to be helpful to our workers!
    1. Promptly Clean Up Residue and Waste After Operation
    Often, after using an asphalt mixing plant, workers simply turn off the power and turn it back on for the next use. This practice poses a significant risk: residue and waste will accumulate inside after operation, eventually damaging the equipment.
    2. Pay Attention to Lubrication of Tracks and Rolling Shafts
    Sometimes, asphalt mixing plants will make a “creaking” sound during operation. This indicates that the tracks and rolling shafts need lubrication. Regularly add lubricant to ensure smoother operation.
    3. Regularly Replace Wear-Prone Parts
    All industrial equipment has wear-prone parts. Regular replacement is essential to prevent damage to the entire system. Workers can easily check these parts while cleaning up residue; it’s a quick and convenient process that extends the lifespan of the asphalt mixing plant.
    These may seem like small things, but they are crucial for asphalt mixing plants. Treat the equipment like you would your own child to ensure it operates smoothly and efficiently.
    For asphalt mixing plants, asphalt mixing equipment, asphalt hot recycling, stabilized soil mixing plants, and asphalt mixing stations, choose Sinoroader.

    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.

    The actual operation steps of drying drum of asphalt mixing equipment: 1. Pay attention to routine inspection; 2. Proper operation steps; 3. Effective maintenance.
    Drying drum is a cylindrical device specially used for heating and drying stones in asphalt mixing equipment. Proper application and maintenance of drying drum can maximize the performance of drying drum, increase its service life and reduce application cost. Let’s take a look at the actual operation steps below.
    1. Pay attention to routine inspections
    The asphalt mixing equipment drying drum has been tested and inspected before leaving the factory, but it will be subjected to vibration and vibration during transportation to the construction site. A comprehensive inspection should be carried out before use: check whether all anchor bolts are tightened; whether all key pins are properly driven; whether all drive devices are adjusted according to the manufacturer’s instructions; whether all pipe connections are appropriate and whether the three-way joints are reliable; whether the entire equipment is fully lubricated; start the motor and check whether all parts can rotate steadily in the correct rotation direction; whether the pressure gauge can work normally and whether the valve is adjusted to the correct working pressure; whether the burner ignition mechanism is available and whether the gate valve is open.
    2. Correct operation steps
    After the equipment is started, it is recommended to control the machine manually at the beginning, and then switch to the automatic control mode after achieving the required production volume and pouring temperature. The stone should be dried and have a stable moisture content as much as possible so that the stone can maintain a stable final temperature when passing through the drying drum. If the stones delivered to the drying drum change frequently and the moisture content changes each time, the burner should be adjusted frequently to compensate for these changes.
    The stones directly from the crushed stone have a relatively constant moisture content, while the stones from the outdoor storage yard have a higher moisture content, and the moisture content of different piles varies greatly. Therefore, it is best for the stones to come from the same source.
