How is the temperature and viscosity of emulsified bitumen equipment controlled during production?

Precautions during the production of emulsified bitumen equipment. How much do you know about this information? Let’s learn more about it:
When the emulsified bitumen equipment is in production, the viscosity of the bitumen decreases with the increase of temperature. For every 12℃ increase, its dynamic viscosity decreases by about one time. During production, the base bitumen should be heated to liquid state before emulsification. In addition, in order to adapt to the emulsification capacity of the colloid mill, the base bitumen dynamic viscosity is generally controlled to be about 200cst. The lower the temperature, the higher the viscosity, which increases the burden on the bitumen pump and the colloid mill, making it difficult to emulsify; but on the other hand, in order to prevent the demulsification caused by excessive vaporization and evaporation of water in the finished product during the production of emulsified bitumen, it is impossible to heat the base bitumen temperature too high. Generally, the finished product temperature at the outlet of the colloid mill should be controlled to be less than 85℃.

    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.

    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

    Emulsified asphalt is an emulsion that disperses asphalt into the water phase to form a liquid at room temperature. This determines that emulsified asphalt has many technical and economic advantages over hot asphalt and diluted asphalt. We know that modified asphalt equipment is a road engineering machinery. In order to better promote users’ understanding of it, today the editor will introduce its characteristics to you so that users can better understand that modified asphalt equipment is used for modified asphalt. It consists of a main machine, a modifier feeding system, a finished product tank, a heat transfer oil reheating furnace and a microcomputer control system. The main machine is equipped with a mixing tank, a dilution tank, a colloid mill and an electronic weighing device. The entire production process is controlled by a computer automatic program. In addition, it can be learned that the product has the advantages of reliable quality, stable performance, accurate measurement, and convenient operation. It is an indispensable new equipment in highway construction. The advantages of asphalt equipment are prominently reflected in its two-way modification effect, that is, while greatly increasing the softening point of asphalt, it also significantly enhances the low-temperature ductility, improves the temperature sensitivity, and has a particularly large elasticity and recovery rate. The modified asphalt equipment has a long service life and a safe and reliable production process. The rotor and stator are specially heat treated, and the service life of the equipment is more than 15,000 hours.
