How to control the amount of emulsifier when emulsifying asphalt?

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.

The asphalt spreading truck is an intelligent high-tech product that specializes in spreading emulsified asphalt, diluted asphalt, hot asphalt, heavy traffic asphalt and modified asphalt. It is used in highway construction and highway maintenance projects, and can be used for the construction of upper and lower seals, permeable layers, waterproof layers, bonding layers, asphalt surface treatment, asphalt penetration pavements, fog seals and other projects of different grades of highway pavements. , can also be used for the transportation of liquid asphalt or other heavy oil. So what are the advantages of Qiangguomeng’s asphalt spreader trucks?

Except for the first application, for enterprises whose block asphalt melting equipment license has expired and continue to engage in the production and operation of block asphalt melting equipment, they should apply for the relevant matters of postponement and renewal 45 working days before the expiration of the license.
The block asphalt melting equipment should first prepare the block asphalt melting equipment application materials, and then submit an application for postponement and renewal to the municipal environmental protection bureau. According to the production and operation of the block asphalt melting equipment and environmental protection work of the applicant enterprise, the municipal environmental protection bureau of the district where the block asphalt melting equipment is located will provide a review opinion in the form of a public document.

Asphalt mixture mixing equipment is a factory-style complete set of equipment that mixes dry and heated aggregates of different particle sizes, fillers and asphalt according to the designed mix ratio at a specified temperature into a uniform mixture. It is widely used in high-grade highways and urban roads. , airports, docks, parking lots and other engineering construction. It is a key equipment for asphalt pavement construction, and its performance directly affects the quality of asphalt pavement.
Generally, there are two types of asphalt concrete mixing equipment: intermittent type and continuous type. The continuous process flow is simple and the equipment is simplified. As for the intermittent forced mixing equipment, due to the secondary screening of aggregates, various components are measured in batches, and forced stirring and mixing can reliably ensure gradation, and the measurement of powder and asphalt can also achieve very high accuracy; so the mixing equipment The asphalt mixture produced is of high quality and can meet various construction requirements.

The advantages of Sinoroader bitumen decanter equipment over similar domestic equipment are reflected in the following points:

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℃.

Emulsified asphalt equipment hot-melts basic colored asphalt and mechanically distributes tiny colored asphalt particles in an aqueous solution containing emulsifier to form a liquid colored asphalt material. The cement emulsified asphalt equipment mortar used in slab ballastless track construction uses cationic emulsified asphalt equipment. The purpose is to adjust the elasticity, toughness and durability of the cement emulsified asphalt equipment mortar. Polymers are often used to modify the asphalt.

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.

We should select products that meet the specifications, and we should not select raw materials that do not meet the specifications. The other thing is the operation technology of asphalt heating equipment. Skilled operation technology is the most important, and training is required before taking up the post.
In recent years, with the continuous development of various industries, the production of various equipment including modified asphalt equipment has been further developed and applied. Professionals introduced that in the process of using modified asphalt equipment for production, the terminal control system implements full automatic control of medium weight, working temperature, working flow, valve opening and closing, etc., thereby ensuring the quality of modified asphalt and greatly improving production efficiency. Now Shandong Duxiu Factory will explain the operating advantages of modified asphalt equipment to customers:
The base asphalt is heated to 150-170℃ in the rapid heating tank and then enters the blending tank to mix with the modifier fed in through the feeding device. The asphalt pump at the bottom of the blending tank then sends it to the colloid mill for high-speed grinding and shearing, so that the modifier and base asphalt are fully dissolved in extremely small particles, thereby improving the various properties of the asphalt. The finished modified asphalt after high-speed shearing and grinding enters the finished product development tank at the rear for direct use.

The fiber-reinforced synchronous sealing vehicle is a special vehicle used for road construction and maintenance, mainly for processes such as gravel sealing. This vehicle plays a vital role in road construction and maintenance, helping to ensure the flatness and durability of the road surface and improve the service life of the road.
First, the fiber-reinforced synchronous sealing vehicle adopts advanced synchronous sealing technology, which can accurately control the spraying and distribution of gravel to ensure the uniformity and quality of the road sealing layer. This precise construction method can effectively improve the flatness and pressure resistance of the road surface, reduce the possibility of road damage and breakage, and extend the service life of the road.
Secondly, the use of fiber-reinforced synchronous sealing vehicles can improve the efficiency and quality of road construction and maintenance. Through the automated construction process, quality problems caused by human errors and irregular operations can be reduced, and the consistency and stability of construction can be improved. This not only saves manpower and time costs, but also improves the overall efficiency of road construction and maintenance.
In addition, the fiber-reinforced synchronous sealing vehicle can also reduce the impact of the construction site on the environment. The use of advanced spraying technology and material recovery devices can reduce the waste of gravel and materials, reduce the interference and pollution of construction to the surrounding environment, and conform to the concept of sustainable development.
In general, fiber-reinforced synchronous sealing vehicles are of great significance in road construction and maintenance. They not only improve the service life and quality of roads, but also improve construction efficiency and reduce the impact on the environment. With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the improvement of engineering technology, it is believed that fiber-reinforced synchronous sealing vehicles will play a more important role in future road construction and maintenance, and contribute more to the construction and maintenance of transportation infrastructure.

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.

Water is one of the raw materials of the modified asphalt storage tank, and it is distributed in various components of the modified asphalt storage tank equipment. According to the components where water is distributed, the anti-cold measures are explained one by one. The water tank of the modified asphalt storage tank, the water inside the water tank is released through the filter valve. Some instruments of the modified asphalt storage tank do not have a filter valve to save the cost of the equipment. The modified asphalt storage tank can only be drained by loosening the flange bolts at the bottom. The water pump of the modified asphalt storage tank mentioned here includes a hot water pump and a circulating water pump. This type of water pump for the modified asphalt storage tank generally uses a pipeline centrifugal pump. There is a sewage outlet at the bottom of the pipeline centrifugal pump. The modified asphalt storage tank pays attention to the sewage treatment of the sewage outlet at the bottom of the pump. The modified asphalt storage tank emulsion tank generally uses a cone bottom. However, in order to better process the modified asphalt storage tank coefficient, the inlet and outlet are usually not placed at the bottom of the modified asphalt storage tank. Emulsion (mostly water) will remain at the bottom of the tank, and this part of the residual liquid in the modified asphalt storage tank must be discharged through the filter valve at the bottom. Emulsion pump for modified asphalt storage tank There are basically two types of emulsion pumps for modified asphalt storage tank equipment on the market, gear pumps or centrifugal water pumps. Gear pumps can only discharge the liquid inside the pump through the connection flange of the pipeline. The centrifugal water pump for modified asphalt storage tanks uses its own sewage outlet for sewage treatment. The first four items of modified asphalt storage tanks with basic knowledge are basically discharged, and the modified asphalt storage tanks will focus on the latter types. Modified asphalt storage tank colloid mill There will also be residual emulsion or water inside the modified asphalt storage tank colloid mill. The gap between the stator and rotor of the colloid mill is within 1mm. If there is a little residual water in the modified asphalt storage tank, it will cause the accident of frozen modified asphalt storage tank. The residue in the colloid mill can be treated by loosening the connection bolts of the finished product pipeline.

I believe everyone is familiar with the relevant knowledge about modified bitumen equipment. As users continue to increase its application, we have also talked about it a lot in the above articles and learned that it is mainly engaged in the production of modified bitumen. Production, in order to further enhance users’ understanding of it, professionals summarize its relevant characteristics as follows:

Asphalt used to pave roads. It can be obtained by regular vacuum distillation of crude oil with appropriate properties, and can also be obtained by shallow oxidation of vacuum residue or propane deasphalting process. It can also be prepared by mixing asphalt of different duction and injection degree

The base layer of asphalt pavement is divided into semi-rigid and rigid. Since the base layer and the surface layer are materials of different properties, good bonding and continuity between the two are the key requirements for this type of pavement. In addition, when the asphalt surface layer seeps water, most of the water will be concentrated at the joint between the surface layer and the base layer, causing damage such as slurry, looseness, and potholes to the asphalt pavement. Therefore, adding a lower seal layer on top of a semi-rigid or rigid base layer will play a vital role in enhancing the strength, stability and waterproofing capabilities of the pavement structural layer. The more commonly used one is to use asphalt gravel synchronous sealing technology.
So let’s take a look at how the construction of the asphalt gravel synchronous sealing truck is carried out:

Before use, please check whether the position of each valve is accurate and make preparations before work. After starting the motor of the asphalt spreading truck, check the four heat transfer oil valves and air pressure gauge. After everything is normal, start the engine and the power take-off starts to work. Try running the asphalt pump and cycle for 5 minutes. If the pump head shell is hot to your hands, slowly close the thermal oil pump valve. If the heating is insufficient, the pump will not rotate or make noise. You need to open the valve and continue to heat the asphalt pump until it can operate normally.

Emulsified asphalt (ingredients: asphaltene and resin) heating tank is a new type of equipment for heating emulsified asphalt. Its appearance replaces the traditional thermal oil heating equipment, which brings great convenience to our users and improves work efficiency. Then let’s take a detailed look at how it is better than the traditional thermal oil heating equipment.
Emulsified asphalt (ingredients: asphaltene and resin) heating tank is another new type of emulsified asphalt heating storage equipment developed by technically separating the characteristics of traditional thermal oil heating emulsified asphalt tanks and internal heat part (part) rapid emulsified asphalt heating tanks. The automatic circulation program of the asphalt heating equipment enables the asphalt to automatically enter the heater, dust collector, induced draft fan, asphalt pump, asphalt temperature display, water level display, and steam generator as required.
It consists of pipeline and asphalt pump preheating system, pressure relief system steam combustion system, tank cleaning system, oil unloading tank installation, etc. All are installed on the tank body (inside) to form a compact integrated structure. It fully compensates for the shortcomings of traditional thermal oil heating equipment, such as long heating time and high energy consumption.

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 selection of asphalt melting equipment should take into account factors such as the use environment, working conditions, and technical requirements. Common ones include hot oil heating equipment, electric heating equipment, and gas heating equipment.
Hot oil heating equipment is suitable for occasions that require long-term heating and high temperature control accuracy;
Electric heating equipment is suitable for small projects or occasions where temperature control accuracy is not required;
Gas heating equipment has the advantages of simple operation and low cost, but safety protection measures must be strictly followed.
When choosing, it is also necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as economy and environmental protection.

As we all know, emulsified bitumen is a single-component black viscous liquid that can combine the roadbed and the pavement to improve the performance and service life of the road. So what problems should be paid attention to when using emulsified bitumen? Let’s follow the editor of Sinoroader Group, an emulsified bitumen manufacturer, to learn about it.

As a manufacturer with many years of experience in emulsified bitumen construction, Sinoroader Group believes that everyone needs to pay attention to the following 2 points when using it:

Emulsified asphalt is an aqueous suspension of asphalt particles with high interfacial energy. This suspension state is thermodynamically unstable and has the potential to reduce its interfacial area (i.e., through the coagulation process) to a stable state. Preventing this coagulation state (dispersion destruction) is the stabilization effect of the emulsifier protective layer. The stability of emulsified asphalt refers to the ability of asphalt particles to aggregate and cause phase separation, and also refers to the time required for emulsified asphalt to reach equilibrium. That is, the time for asphalt particles to aggregate and separate from water. How can we increase this time? How to prevent emulsified asphalt from demulsifying?

The modified asphalt equipment produced by Sinoroader can produce SBS, rubber powder, SBR, and PE modified asphalt manually and automatically. Some of its configurations and uses are as follows:
1. Filter: The specially made asphalt filter can effectively filter impurities and foreign matter in the high-temperature matrix asphalt to prevent damage to subsequent equipment.
2. Matrix asphalt heater: The spiral plate or shell and tube heat exchanger is used to quickly heat the matrix asphalt through heat transfer oil to meet the needs of the production process. Heating in a sealed tank avoids the aging of asphalt due to long-term high-temperature heating and exposure to the air. The sulfide produced during the production process is quite limited, reducing environmental pollution.
3. Modifier air delivery or spiral addition system: The modifier manually poured into the pouring hopper is delivered to the asphalt batching tank by wind or spiral. It can be equipped with a metering system.
4. Stabilizer automatic or manual addition system: It can be equipped with a metering system.

1. Preparation before construction
2. Mix
3. Paving
4. Leveling
5. Shutdown
6. Overlap
7. Crush

Sinoroader emulsifier does not need to add acid or adjust pH value in the production of emulsified asphalt, thus reducing the process, reducing equipment maintenance, saving labor and materials. It reduces the cost of emulsified asphalt, produces acid-free, eliminates equipment corrosion emulsion, does not consider anti-corrosion measures in the selection of equipment, and greatly reduces the capital investment of equipment.
Main technical indicators:
Active ingredient content 40±2%
pH value 8-7
Appearance: yellow or dark yellow liquid
Odor: non-toxic, aromatic gas
Solubility: soluble in water and some organic solvents
Temperature ratio:
Water temperature: 70℃-80℃
Asphalt temperature: 140℃-150℃
Emulsifier: 8%-10%
Asphalt ratio: water = 4:6
Precautions:
The temperature of the emulsifier aqueous solution should not exceed 70%
When the temperature is low, the product is in a paste or paste, and the heating is variable.
Different varieties of asphalt should adjust the amount of emulsifier, and the use test should be derived from the test.

Slurry sealers are important equipment for road maintenance and repair. They are mainly used to pour durable asphalt mixtures on old roads to form a new protective layer. This equipment can be constructed according to the surface texture of the road surface, so that the cracks in the surface layer are isolated from water and air, effectively preventing the road surface from aging further.
The working principle of the slurry sealer is to mix materials such as aggregate, emulsified asphalt and additives into slurry, and then evenly lay it on the road surface. The slurry formed after the mixture of these materials has good waterproof and skid resistance, which can significantly improve the service life of the road surface and driving safety.

10. Drainage treatment
Construction method: Improve drainage facilities, such as adding drainage ditches and permeable pavements.
Application scenarios: Suitable for sections with serious water accumulation, which can effectively prevent water damage and extend the life of the road surface.
Summary
There are various methods for highway preventive maintenance construction, and the selection should be based on comprehensive considerations of factors such as the degree of road damage, traffic volume, and climate. Reasonable preventive maintenance can not only extend the life of the road, but also improve driving safety and comfort.

1. Observation: Pay attention to the dynamics of the road surface after milling (three to four days), and pave the milled and roughened road surface in time when paving conditions are met.
2. On-site mixing: During construction and production, a sealing slurry truck should be used for on-site mixing. Through the metering equipment of the sealing truck and on-site operation by a robot, it is ensured that emulsified asphalt, water, mineral materials, fillers, etc. can be mixed according to a certain proportion. , stir through the mixing box, and the paving thickness is not higher than the roughing depth.

Classification analysis of emulsion bitumen equipment is used to heat-melt bitumen. According to the actual cutting effect of mechanical equipment, it is loosened into a solution with demulsifier in the form of tiny droplets to form oil-in-water asphalt. Industrial equipment for lotions. Emulsion bitumen equipment can be divided into three types: portable, transportable and mobile according to the equipment, layout and maneuverability of the equipment.

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.
