Asphalt spreaders are a kind of black road construction machinery. They are the main equipment for the construction of highways, urban roads, airports and port terminals. The equipment is mainly used to spray different types of asphalt on the road surface to meet the construction requirements of different grades of road surface penetration, adhesion, upper and lower sealing layers, fog sealing layers, etc.
However, the spreading effect of some asphalt spreaders on the market is not satisfactory, and there will be uneven lateral spreading. The typical lateral unevenness is the lateral stripes that appear during spreading. At this time, taking certain measures can effectively improve the lateral uniformity of asphalt spreading.
1. Improve the nozzle structure
This has the following purposes: First, to adapt to the structure of the spraying pipe so that the asphalt flow distribution of each nozzle is close to the same; second, to make the shape and size of the spraying projection surface of a single nozzle meet the design requirements, achieve the best, and make the asphalt flow distribution in the area meet the design requirements; third, to adapt to the construction requirements of different types of asphalt and different spreading amounts.
2. Appropriately increase the spreading speed
As long as the speed of the intelligent asphalt spreader changes within a reasonable range, it will have no effect on the longitudinal uniformity of asphalt spreading. Because when the vehicle speed is faster, the amount of asphalt spilled per unit time becomes larger, while the amount of asphalt spread per unit area remains unchanged, and the change in vehicle speed has a greater impact on the lateral uniformity.
When the vehicle speed is faster, the flow rate of a single nozzle per unit time becomes larger, the spraying projection surface increases, and the number of overlaps increases; at the same time, the jet speed increases, the asphalt collision energy increases, the “impact-splash-homogenization” effect is enhanced, and the lateral spreading is more uniform, so a faster vehicle speed should be appropriately used to keep the lateral uniformity at all times.
Intelligent asphalt spreader, high spreading accuracy, spraying amount is not affected by vehicle speed
3. Improve asphalt characteristics
The viscosity of asphalt is large, the asphalt flow resistance is large, the injection molding is small, and the number of overlaps is reduced. In order to overcome these shortcomings, the general practice is to increase the nozzle diameter, but this will inevitably reduce the jet speed, weaken the “impact-splash-homogenization” effect, and make the lateral spreading uneven. In order to improve the performance of asphalt construction technology, the asphalt characteristics should be improved.
4. Make the height of the spray pipe adjustable from the ground, closed-loop control
Since the spray fan angle will be affected by factors such as vehicle speed, asphalt type, temperature, viscosity, etc., the height from the ground is best determined based on construction experience and used as a basis for adjustment:
If the height of the spray pipe from the ground is too high, the impact force of the asphalt spraying will be reduced, weakening the “impact-splash-homogenization” effect; if the height of the spray pipe from the ground is too low, the number of overlapping asphalt spray fans will be reduced. The height of the spray pipe should be adjusted according to actual conditions to improve the asphalt spraying effect.
Technical advantages of intelligent asphalt spreader:
1. It can spray emulsified asphalt, diluted asphalt and other triple overlaps;
2. Freely adjust the spreading width, each nozzle is controlled separately and can be combined arbitrarily;
3. High spreading accuracy, neat start and end, and the spraying volume is not affected by vehicle speed;
4. All-round thermal oil heating ensures smooth spraying of nozzles and fully automatic control;
5. Highly intelligent modular control system, spreading operations can be completed in the cab;
6. Diesel circulation cleaning and air purge system, saving diesel, simple and reliable;
7. The chassis adopts a two-speed gearbox, with stable operating speed and large driving torque;
8. With a hand spray gun device, asphalt can be added to corners.

    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.

    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.

    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.
