Bitumen drum melter equipment has the functions of barrel delivery, barrel removal, storage, temperature raising, slag discharge, etc. It is an essential product for high-grade highway construction companies. Bitumen drum melter equipment can be used for resin barrel removal. The bitumen drum melter equipment mainly consists of barrel removal shell, hoisting mechanism, hydraulic booster and electrical control system.
The shell is divided into two chambers, the left and right chambers. The upper chamber is a large barrel of asphalt melting (definition: the process of material changing from solid to liquid) chamber. There are heating coils evenly distributed around it. The heating pipes and the asphalt barrel mainly transfer heat by radiation. To achieve the purpose of removing asphalt barrels, multiple guide rails serve as rails for the bitumen barrels to enter. The lower chamber mainly reheats the slipped bitumen in the barrel until the temperature reaches the suction pump temperature (130°C), and then pumps the bitumen pump into the high-temperature tank. If the heating time is increased, a higher temperature can be obtained. The hoisting mechanism adopts a cantilever structure. The bitumen barrel is lifted up by the electric hoist, and then moved sideways to place the bitumen barrel on the slide rail. The barrel is then sent into the upper chamber by a hydraulic booster. In addition, an inlet and outlet are opened at the rear end to inject a Only empty buckets. There is also an oil tank on the bitumen barrel entrance service platform to prevent the loss of dripping bitumen.

    More Road Maintenance

    Urban road maintenance is an important part of ensuring road safety and smooth traffic, among which slurry seal and micro-surfacing are two common maintenance methods.
    Slurry seal:
    Composition: emulsified asphalt or modified emulsified asphalt
    Function: waterproof, anti-skid, improve road surface appearance
    Scope of application: cover surface of secondary trunk roads, lower seal layer of newly built roads
    Micro-surfacing:
    Composition: modified asphalt
    Function: waterproof, anti-skid, wear-resistant, improve road surface appearance, repair ruts
    Scope of application: expressways, trunk roads
    Construction process:
    Cleaning the road surface
    Laying out the lines
    Wetting the original road surface
    Paving
    Repairing
    Maintenance
    Opening traffic
    Test section length ≥ 200m
    When the original road surface is an asphalt road surface, it needs to be wetted with water in dry or hot weather; non-asphalt road surfaces should be sprayed with tack coat oil; the lower seal layer of semi-rigid base asphalt road surfaces needs to be sprayed with penetration oil.
    For sections that need to be opened to traffic as soon as possible, a thin layer of sand can be spread.
    Quality acceptance:
    Before construction, check the test report of raw materials, slurry mixture design report, and paver calibration report.
    The entire construction line is evaluated as a 1km section.
    The main control items include skid resistance, water permeability, and thickness.
    Through these steps, the service life of the road can be effectively extended and driving safety can be ensured.

    Detailed summary of slurry seal specifications

    We need to prepare a lot of work when using modified asphalt equipment. What kind of work do we need to prepare? Next, let me briefly introduce the relevant knowledge points.
    1. Heat transfer oil heats and insulates the modified asphalt equipment and nozzle. After spraying, the asphalt pump and nozzle do not need to be cleaned with diesel. Use high-pressure air to press the asphalt in the pipeline and spray pipe back to the tank, and then blow the nozzle; use heat transfer oil to keep warm, so that the pipeline and nozzle are smooth and unobstructed. 2. Various asphalts can be spread: high-viscosity asphalt, hot asphalt, emulsified asphalt, etc.; the spreading width can be freely adjusted, each nozzle can be controlled separately, and the maximum spraying width is up to 6m. Flexible handheld spray guns can be used to spray asphalt on corners. 3. Excellent thermal insulation performance, average cooling ≤1-2℃/h. 4. Convenient loading and unloading function. In addition to filling asphalt from the asphalt tank port, hot asphalt can be sucked out by itself, and external asphalt can also be pumped and transferred. 5. The modified asphalt equipment is evenly spread, and the nozzle design can be used for triple overlapping spraying.
    The above are the relevant knowledge points of modified asphalt equipment. I hope the above content can be helpful to everyone. Thank you for your viewing and support. More information will be sorted out for you later. Please pay attention to our website updates.

    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.

    The viscosity of emulsified asphalt equipment decreases with the increase of temperature during the production process. The power viscosity of emulsified asphalt equipment is about twice as high as every 12℃ increase. During processing, the culture medium asphalt barrel should be heated to liquid before demulsification. In order to better integrate the demulsification emulsified asphalt equipment capacity of the colloid solution mill, the culture medium asphalt barrel power viscosity is generally controlled to be about 200cst. The lower the temperature, the higher the viscosity, which increases the pressure of the asphalt barrel pump and the colloid solution mill, and the emulsion cannot be demulsified. However, on the other hand, in order to prevent the emulsified asphalt equipment from weaning when the finished product water evaporates, it is unlikely to overheat the culture medium asphalt barrel temperature. Generally, the finished product temperature at the inlet and outlet of the colloid solution mill should be less than 85℃.
    One of the important methods to control the temperature and viscosity of emulsified asphalt equipment during processing is based on this. Everyone must carry out scientific operation according to the instructions of the emulsified asphalt equipment, so that the characteristics of the emulsified asphalt equipment can be fully presented. The development trend of the drying theory of emulsified asphalt equipment requires the stone resources to be processed, dried and heated. The reason for the emulsified asphalt equipment is that the quality of wet raw materials does not meet the requirements of asphalt mixture production and processing technology equipment companies.
