How can modified asphalt equipment extend its service life?

Asphalt spreader is an irreplaceable tool for highway maintenance. Asphalt spreader is an irreplaceable tool for highway maintenance. Highway maintenance is divided into four categories according to the nature of the project, scale, and technical complexity: minor repair, medium repair, major repair, and improvement. Specific classification:
(1) Minor repair and maintenance project: preventive maintenance and repair of slightly damaged parts of the highway and all its engineering facilities to keep them in good condition. It is usually planned and carried out daily by the maintenance team within the annual minor repair and maintenance quota funds on a monthly (ten-day) basis.
(2) Medium repair project: regular repair and reinforcement of general wear and tear and local damage of highway engineering facilities to restore them to their original state. It is usually planned and implemented by grassroots road maintenance agencies on an annual (seasonal) basis.
(3) Major repair project: periodic comprehensive repair of major damage to highway facilities to fully restore them to the original design standards, or local improvements and individual additions within the original technical level to gradually improve the highway’s traffic capacity. It is usually organized and implemented by grassroots road maintenance agencies or with the help of their superior agencies according to the approved annual project budget.
(4) Improvement projects are large projects that improve the technical level of roads and their engineering facilities in stages and sections due to their inability to meet traffic volume and load requirements, or significantly improve traffic capacity through improvements. It is usually organized and implemented or completed through bidding by regional road maintenance agencies or provincial road maintenance agencies according to the approved plan and design budget.

Changing the color of asphalt pavement is an important project aimed at improving the beauty of roads, optimizing traffic signs and enhancing urban landscape effects. The following is a detailed introduction to the color change of asphalt pavement:
1. Color change method
Using pavement color change spray:
Spray directly on the original asphalt pavement surface to make the road surface look brand new.
This method is simple and fast to construct, with bright and lasting colors, and will not change the structure of the pavement.

1 Common diseases of asphalt pavement
There are nine phenomena of early damage to asphalt pavement: rutting, cracks, and potholes. These diseases are the most common and serious, and are one of the common quality problems of highway projects.
1.1 Rutting
Rutting refers to the longitudinal strip grooves on the road surface along the wheel tracks, with a depth of more than 1.5cm. Rutting is a strip groove formed by the accumulation of permanent deformation of the road surface under the repeated action of vehicle load. Rutting reduces the smoothness of the road surface. When the rutting reaches a certain depth, due to the accumulation of water in the rutting, it is easy for cars to slide and cause traffic accidents. The main reasons for rutting are unreasonable design and serious overloading of vehicles.
1.2 Cracks
There are three main forms of cracks: longitudinal cracks, transverse cracks and mesh cracks. When cracks occur in asphalt pavement, water seepage occurs, which harms the surface layer and base layer.
1.3 Potholes
Potholes are common early diseases of asphalt pavement, which refer to the road surface being damaged into potholes with a depth of more than 2cm and an area of ??more than 0.04㎡. The main reason for the formation of potholes is that the oil used in vehicle repair or motor vehicles seeps into the road surface, polluting the asphalt mixture and causing it to loosen. The pits are gradually formed by driving and rolling.

Bitumen is a mixture of organic compounds. The road surface paved with bitumen by modified emulsified bitumen equipment is a seamless continuous road surface with good durability and wear resistance. It does not soften at high temperatures and does not crack at low temperatures. It has been promoted and applied worldwide for its superior performance such as strong bearing capacity, no dust, anti-slip, and noise.
Modified bitumen refers to an asphalt mixture that has been improved by adding modifiers such as rubber, resin, high molecular polymer, and finely ground rubber powder, or by lightly oxidizing bitumen. The excellent performance of modified bitumen equipment comes from the modifiers added to it and the world’s advanced colloid mill; the modifiers can not only merge with each other under the action of temperature and kinetic energy, but also react with bitumen, thereby greatly improving the mechanical properties of bitumen. The modified bitumen produced by modified emulsified bitumen equipment can effectively enhance the load capacity of the road surface, reduce the fatigue of the road surface caused by excessive load, and extend the service life of the road surface exponentially. Therefore, it can be widely used in the paving of high-grade highways, airport runways and bridges.

Recently, I found that many people don’t know much about the operation skills of asphalt pavement spreaders. If you also want to know what’s going on, you can read this introduction below.
Asphalt pavement spreaders are an indispensable and important equipment in road maintenance and construction. Their operation skills directly affect construction efficiency and project quality. The following introduces the operation skills of asphalt pavement spreaders from four aspects: pre-operation preparation, precautions during construction, spreading skills, and post-operation cleaning and maintenance:

The bitumen (composition: asphaltene and resin) drum melting machine adopts a self-heating integrated structure, which integrates the thermal oil boiler used in the old asphalt drum melting machine and the barrel removal equipment itself, reducing the volume of the entire equipment and significantly It reduces equipment investment (actual significance: it is the accumulation of future profits), saves the space occupied by the equipment and the logistics cost of switching sites. The combustion chamber is placed inside the equipment itself, which greatly reduces thermal damage and improves heat utilization.

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.

I believe that many people already know about synchronous gravel sealing. But when asked under what circumstances synchronous gravel sealing is suitable, many people cannot tell.
Under what circumstances is synchronous gravel sealing more suitable? According to the technical specifications for the construction of simultaneous gravel sealing, simultaneous gravel sealing can be used for the following disease types:

I believe that after a long period of contact with asphalt tanks, everyone knows that the working efficiency of emulsified asphalt equipment actually depends on the operator. The more experienced the operator is and the stronger his ability to deal with various emergencies is, the higher the working efficiency will be, and the safety will be guaranteed. Mastering more equipment-related knowledge is what every friend should pursue. Today, the editor will explain to you the details that need to be paid attention to when operating emulsified asphalt equipment:

There are many types of emulsified bitumen, and PC-2 is one of them, which is a spray-type emulsified bitumen. It is used for spraying oil through the base layer of granular materials and health care spraying on semi-rigid base layers. There is also the PA-2 type, which has the same purpose as the PC-2 type. The difference is that the PC-2 type is a cation, while the PA-2 type is an anion.

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.

The container-type emulsified bitumen equipment hot-melts the base cold-mix colored bitumen and disperses it through the equipment into small cold-mix colored bitumen particles in an aqueous solution containing emulsifier to form a liquid cold-mix colored bitumen material.

When emulsifying asphalt, the temperature of asphalt should be controlled above 130℃ to ensure good fluidity; the amount of BE-1, 2, and A1 emulsifiers is generally 8-14‰ of emulsified asphalt, that is, 8-14kg per ton of emulsified asphalt (asphalt content is above 50%), and the temperature is 60-70℃.
The emulsifier should be used in the upper and middle limits of the first production, preferably 10kg per ton of emulsified asphalt, or 20kg per ton of water (asphalt content is 50%); the amount of BE-3 emulsifier is generally 18-25‰ of emulsified asphalt, that is, 18-25kg per ton of emulsified asphalt (asphalt content is above 50%), and the temperature of the emulsifier solution is 60-70℃.
During the first production, the emulsifier should be used in the middle and upper limit dosage to ensure successful production. It is best to use 24 kg per ton of emulsified asphalt, or 48 kg per ton of water (asphalt content is 50%). After the production goes smoothly, the dosage can be reduced according to actual conditions.

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.

The emulsified bitumen equipment hot-melts the base cold-mix colored bitumen, and then disperses the slightly cold-mixed colored bitumen particles into the aqueous solution containing emulsifier through a machine to form liquid cold-mixed colored bitumen sheets.

Asphalt melting equipment is one of the indispensable equipment in modern road construction. Its main function is to heat a large amount of cold hard asphalt to a suitable working temperature at the construction site. Advanced asphalt melting equipments can greatly improve construction efficiency, reduce human resources and time costs, and ensure pavement quality at the same time.
First of all, reliable asphalt melter equipment can shorten heating time and work efficiency and avoid wasting energy. Secondly, the equipment is easy to operate and can reduce the incidence of on-site safety accidents. In addition, this equipment has an automatic control and monitoring system that can adjust the working status and parameters at any time to meet different construction needs and environmental conditions.

Synchronized gravel sealing is to use special equipment, namely a synchronous gravel sealing truck and bonding materials (modified asphalt or modified emulsified asphalt) to be spread simultaneously on the road surface, and then formed into a single layer through natural traffic rolling or tire roller rolling. A layer of asphalt gravel wearing layer, which is mainly used as the surface layer of the road, and can also be used for the surface layer construction of low-grade highways.

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.

Maintenance points of asphalt spreading trucks in different working hours
per month (or every 200 hours worked)；
​Per year (or every 500 hours worked)；
Every two years (or every 1,000 hours worked)；

The hydraulic bitumen decanter equipment produced by our company uses thermal oil as the heat carrier and has its own burner for heating. The thermal oil heats, melts, debarks and dehydrates the asphalt through the heating coil. This device can ensure that the asphalt does not age, and has the advantages of high thermal efficiency, fast barrel loading/unloading speed, improved labor intensity, and reduced environmental pollution.

Stainless steel bitumen melters use bitumen concrete micro-powder machines. Its blade strength is high, the angular velocity of the moving disc is high, and the gap can be adjusted to 0.15mm. Stainless steel bitumen melters are suitable for the production and processing of various polymer bitumen concrete, such as SBS, PE, EVA, etc.
Stainless steel bitumen melters use independently developed special batching tanks, stainless steel bitumen melter force stirring devices, liquid level meter overflow prevention equipment, granular material dosage and equipment, liquid additive automatic addition equipment and other production key points. It ensures the full-position process guarantee for the stainless steel bitumen melter of the bitumen concrete production line. The stainless steel bitumen melter processing stainless steel bitumen melter rate is significantly increased, and the quality of stainless steel bitumen melters is greatly improved.

There are many ways to heat bitumen, including using fire source heating, electric heating, steam heating, hot water heating and indirect heating. Fire source heating generates heat by burning fuel to heat the bitumen to a molten state. Electric heating converts electrical energy into thermal energy through electric heating elements to heat the bitumen to a molten state. Steam heating transfers heat to bitumen through steam, heating the bitumen to a molten state. Hot water heating transfers heat to the bitumen through hot water, heating the bitumen to a molten state. Indirect heating transfers heat to the heating medium, which then transfers the heat to the bitumen to heat the bitumen to a molten state.

Emulsified asphalt is made by hot melting asphalt, dispersing it in an aqueous solution containing an emulsifier in a fine particle state through mechanical action, forming an oil-in-water asphalt emulsion. In road construction and maintenance projects, emulsified asphalt can be used for road maintenance, bonding between road layers, bridge deck paving, permeable oil on cement-stabilized macadam foundation, slurry seal waterproof layer, etc. It has the advantages of cold construction, safety, environmental protection, resource conservation, energy conservation, extended construction season, and improved construction conditions. It plays a very important role in the construction and maintenance of municipal roads, especially in recent years, the improvement of the production level of emulsified asphalt has actively promoted the technological progress and promotion and application of emulsified asphalt. However, in the production and use of emulsified asphalt, undesirable phenomena such as crusting, flocculation, oil-water stratification, and agglomeration often occur, which brings unnecessary troubles to construction. To this end, the author conducted a large number of experimental studies from nine aspects, including emulsification equipment, emulsifier, base asphalt, pH value, temperature, storage temperature, mechanical action, freezing and melting, and long-term placement, and summarized the factors that affect the stability of emulsified asphalt. The analysis is as follows:

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.

Here is an introduction to the knowledge on construction quality control of modified rubber asphalt equipment. Let’s introduce this knowledge from three aspects. The details are as follows: The viscosity of the modified asphalt mixture of modified rubber asphalt equipment is relatively high, and the construction temperature of each process is The construction temperature requirements are higher than those of ordinary asphalt mixtures.

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.

From three aspects, emulsion bitumen equipment has good economic performance:
First, energy saving. The kerosene or gasoline content in diluted asphalt can reach 50%, while the emulsion bitumen plant only contains 0-2%. This is a valuable saving behavior in the production and utilization of white fuel. By simply increasing the viscosity standard of asphalt by adding light oil solvent, asphalt can be poured and spread, and it is hoped that the light oil after use can evaporate into the atmosphere.
Second, versatility. There are many application methods for emulsion bitumen plants, and the appropriate method needs to be selected when applying it. The same emulsion can be used for large-scale sealing and can be used for small-scale pit repair work. Because they can be stored in tanks for a long time, they are very easy to use when applied in remote areas.
Third, it is easy to use. The professional spreading of emulsions requires professional equipment, such as spreaders. Small-area emulsion applications can be directly poured and spread by hand, such as small-area pit repair work, crack fillers, etc. Small quantities of cold mixes only require basic equipment.

Synchronous gravel sealer fog sealer is a method of road maintenance. Some roads have network cracks, cracks and holes after a few years of use. The effective method is fog seal technology. The cost is very low. After the fog seal, due to the large fluidity of the material, it can penetrate into the aggregate and flow into the cracks to “transfuse” the road surface, restore the asphalt adhesion of the road surface, fill small cracks and gaps, prevent water from penetrating the road surface, and keep the road surface performance for 2 to 3 years, delaying the high maintenance cost and improving the economic benefits.
