The mixing speed of asphalt mixing plants is indeed very fast, and the corresponding mixing power must be very high, but the specific amount must be measured in a certain way to determine the scope of use of asphalt mixing equipment. There are many methods for measuring the mixing power of asphalt mixing equipment, but the relatively small errors are the motor counter-torque measurement method and the strain measurement method.
When the motor of the asphalt mixing equipment starts running, the electromagnetic moment acting on the motor rotor and the electromagnetic moment acting on the motor stator are equal, but their directions are opposite. Therefore, as long as the torque acting on the stator is measured, the torque on the rotor can be obtained, and the actual mixing torque is obtained after deducting the friction torque on the rotor bearing.
On the premise of knowing the torque and mixing speed, the mixing power of the asphalt mixing equipment can be calculated. This is the so-called motor counter-torque measurement method, which is relatively simple and suitable for smaller mixing systems.
It should be noted that the torque of the mixing shaft of the asphalt mixing equipment is proportional to its shear strain, so as long as the shear strain on the outer surface of the mixing shaft is measured, the torque can be calculated. This method is suitable for measuring mixing systems with larger power.
When measuring specifically, it is necessary to first symmetrically paste 4 pieces of resistance wire strain gauges on the stirring shaft at a 45° angle to the axis and make them form an electric bridge. When the stirring shaft of the asphalt mixing equipment undergoes shear deformation under the action of torque, the length and cross-section of the resistance wire on the strain gauge also change accordingly.
This change will cause the resistance value of the resistance wire to change, destroying the balance of the bridge while generating a voltage signal that is linearly related to the shear strain. This voltage signal is amplified by the dynamic resistance strain gauge and input into the recorder, and the shear strain change data can be read.
According to the conversion relationship between torque and shear strain, the torque value of the stirring shaft can be easily obtained after data processing, and then the friction torque of the seal, bearing, etc. measured by the no-load test is deducted, which is the actual torque consumed by the asphalt mixing equipment during the mixing process.

    The drying drum of the asphalt mixing plant should pay attention to daily inspection, correct operation and reasonable maintenance, so as to extend its service life and reduce the cost of engineering use.
    1. Pay attention to daily inspection. Before the asphalt mixing plant officially works, the drying drum needs to be tested and inspected to see whether each pipeline is reliably connected, whether the lubrication of the whole machine is feasible, whether the motor can be started, whether the functions of each pressure valve are stable, whether the instrument is normal, etc.
    2. Correct operation of the mixing station. At the beginning of the asphalt mixing plant, manual operation can only switch to automatic control after reaching the specified production capacity and discharge temperature. The aggregate should be dry and have a standard mode so that it can maintain a constant temperature when flowing through the drying drum. When the entire aggregate is sent to dry, the moisture content will change. At this time, the burner should be used frequently to compensate for the change in moisture. During the rolling stone processing, the amount of water directly formed is basically unchanged, the amount of combustion accumulation increases, and the amount of water in the deposited accumulation material may change.
    3. Reasonable maintenance of the asphalt mixing plant. Aggregates should be deactivated when the asphalt mixing plant is not in operation. After work every day, the equipment should be operated to discharge the aggregate into the dryer. When the material in the hopper leaves the combustion chamber, the combustion chamber should be closed and allowed to idle for about 30 minutes to cool down, so as to reduce its impact or make the machine run in a straight line. Install the drying cylinder fixing ring on all rollers synchronously.

    Now on the construction site, including in some engineering construction, one of the equipment used is asphalt mixing plant. It can be said that it can be used in many ranges and fields, and it can provide certain help for my country’s infrastructure construction. Of course, in the process of use, it is necessary to do a good job in many aspects, so that the use of mixing plant can be safer and more worry-free.
    1. Maintain standardized operating procedures
    In fact, it is not only in the use of asphalt mixing plant, but also in the use of other equipment. It should be done well. It can be said that this mixing plant will also have certain dangers. If there is any carelessness, it may also cause great losses. Therefore, at this time, it is still necessary to pay attention to the correct specifications and follow the process step by step. Only in this way can it be used safely and other use problems can be effectively avoided.
    2. Adjust the reasonable mixing ratio
    In the application of asphalt mixing plant, the most important and core step is the mixing. The mixing ratio of raw materials should be within a reasonable range and completed according to actual needs. Do not add or reduce raw materials at will according to your own wishes. Such operation is not standardized. In addition, after making a good ratio, you should also pay attention to safety protection measures during operation.
    Asphalt mixing plant still plays an important role. If you want to make the use of the mixing plant safer and more worry-free, you should pay more attention when using it and have a certain understanding of these precautions. Only in this way can you ensure that there will be no other problems in use and ensure the safety of the mixing plant.
