How to troubleshoot asphalt distributors

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:

Modified asphalt equipment is a widely used asphalt equipment. Now its ultra-high performance has been widely praised by users. However, we must first use the modified asphalt equipment safely to fully demonstrate its performance. So how much do you know about the safe use and operation of modified asphalt equipment? Today, Sinoroader will explain it in detail:
1. Placement: The modified asphalt equipment should be placed on a flat place, and the front axle wheel should be fixed with sleepers and the tires should be dangling to ensure that the machine does not move around during operation.
2. Check regularly whether the mixer blades are deformed and whether the screws are loose.
3. Check whether the running direction of the mixing barrel is consistent with the arrow. If not, please replace the positive and negative poles of the wiring.
4. Before powering on, check for empty vehicle trial operation, check for leakage, and check the idling of the mixing barrel. The normal speed is about 3 times faster when the empty vehicle is full. If the speed is wrong, stop the car for verification.
5. If the asphalt material is stopped for one hour after mixing, clean the mixing barrel, pour in clean water, and clean the mortar. Then drain the water, remember that there must be no water in the bucket to prevent the formula from changing, and even rust on the pages and other links. During use, everyone should pay attention to some small links to avoid unnecessary losses in their work.

All kinds of base layers have the problem of strength formation and growth (Emerson). The strength is gradually generated during the curing process, and the internal structure will become more and more dense. The test shows that when the semi-rigid base layer is sprayed with penetration oil before the cement (material: powdered water-hardening inorganic cementitious material) has not yet hardened, the penetration depth is deep; with the increase of age and strength, the penetration effect of the penetration oil is getting worse and worse.
At the same time, timely spreading of penetration oil has a good retention effect on the moisture in the base layer, preventing the evaporation of moisture, ensuring the formation of the strength of the base layer, and the surface of the base layer is not easy to loosen. The penetration oil also protects the semi-rigid base layer from cracking due to exposure to the sun. Furthermore, since the base layer is no longer covered and watered for curing, the temperature inside the base layer is high, which is conducive to the growth of strength.

For the relevant knowledge of modified asphalt equipment, we have more or less introduced it in the above articles. I believe that most users also have some simple understanding of it. Today we also mastered:
In order to meet the different requirements of customers, the configuration and process of the equipment produced by the manufacturers of modified asphalt equipment are diversified. There are fixed production types, mobile types, and imported main machines, but the imported main machines are expensive, so most customers configure domestic pipeline emulsifiers or colloid mills. In terms of the degree of automation, there are fully automatic production and semi-automatic production. Regardless of the form of production, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. What kind of process and configuration is used depends on the annual production volume and the customer’s requirements for equipment, product performance requirements and other factors. I hope that these introductions can help users choose to a certain extent.

Improve the understanding of the importance of preventive maintenance
We should further improve the understanding of the importance of preventive maintenance and raise preventive maintenance to the level of highway asset protection and road protection. At present, leaders at all levels and maintenance departments do not fully understand the significance of preventive maintenance of asphalt pavement. We should deepen our understanding of the important role of preventive maintenance and improve the strategic awareness, initiative and creativity of preventive maintenance. At the same time, the maintenance department should strengthen communication and exchanges with transportation authorities and financial management departments at all levels, so that departments at all levels understand the importance and necessity of preventive maintenance and create conditions for the implementation of preventive maintenance and funding sources. At the same time, it is very necessary to add preventive maintenance to the classification of maintenance projects, which will help the management of leaders at all levels and the implementation of preventive maintenance.
Improve the decision-making and planning of preventive maintenance
According to the decision-making and planning process, reasonably arrange the preventive maintenance of asphalt concrete pavement structure to ensure the safe and stable operation of highway projects throughout the life cycle, and reduce production costs while providing high-quality traffic services. Therefore, the key to preventive maintenance of asphalt concrete pavement structure lies in establishing a scientific decision-making and planning mechanism. The Ministry of Transport proposed in the “13th Five-Year Plan for Highway Maintenance Management Development” that the average annual mileage of preventive maintenance for expressways should not be less than 8%, and that for ordinary national and provincial roads should not be less than 5%. In the actual application process, local governments should also actively summarize experience and propose different preventive maintenance ratios based on the specific conditions of different regions.

From three aspects, emulsion bitumen equipment has good economic performance:
First, energy saving. The kerosene or gasoline content in diluted asphalt can reach 50%, while the emulsion bitumen plant only contains 0-2%. This is a valuable saving behavior in the production and utilization of white fuel. By simply increasing the viscosity standard of asphalt by adding light oil solvent, asphalt can be poured and spread, and it is hoped that the light oil after use can evaporate into the atmosphere.
Second, versatility. There are many application methods for emulsion bitumen plants, and the appropriate method needs to be selected when applying it. The same emulsion can be used for large-scale sealing and can be used for small-scale pit repair work. Because they can be stored in tanks for a long time, they are very easy to use when applied in remote areas.
Third, it is easy to use. The professional spreading of emulsions requires professional equipment, such as spreaders. Small-area emulsion applications can be directly poured and spread by hand, such as small-area pit repair work, crack fillers, etc. Small quantities of cold mixes only require basic equipment.

The requirements for SBS asphalt emulsification equipment are very high. The micro powder machine must have a sufficiently large driving force and can bear the condensation type. Because the temperature requirements of the emulsion SBS asphalt process are relatively high, the emulsified asphalt should be passed through a heat exchanger before feeding to reduce the emulsified asphalt temperature to below 90°C to prevent the emulsified asphalt from breaking due to excessive temperature.
The application scope of SBS modified emulsified asphalt is very wide. According to the nature of the construction, it can be used in new construction, renovation, and reconstruction projects; according to the nature of the project, it can be used in overhaul, equipment overhaul, and maintenance projects. Among them, the actual application projects include micro-surfacing, cold regeneration, cold mixing and cold paving, adhesive layer, permeable oil, slurry seal, gravel permeable layer, fog permeable layer, road moisture-proofing, SBS membrane, ground seam filling, and all other projects that can use emulsified asphalt.

Bitumen is a mixture of organic compounds. The road surface paved with bitumen by modified emulsified bitumen equipment is a seamless continuous road surface with good durability and wear resistance. It does not soften at high temperatures and does not crack at low temperatures. It has been promoted and applied worldwide for its superior performance such as strong bearing capacity, no dust, anti-slip, and noise.
Modified bitumen refers to an asphalt mixture that has been improved by adding modifiers such as rubber, resin, high molecular polymer, and finely ground rubber powder, or by lightly oxidizing bitumen. The excellent performance of modified bitumen equipment comes from the modifiers added to it and the world’s advanced colloid mill; the modifiers can not only merge with each other under the action of temperature and kinetic energy, but also react with bitumen, thereby greatly improving the mechanical properties of bitumen. The modified bitumen produced by modified emulsified bitumen equipment can effectively enhance the load capacity of the road surface, reduce the fatigue of the road surface caused by excessive load, and extend the service life of the road surface exponentially. Therefore, it can be widely used in the paving of high-grade highways, airport runways and bridges.

Asphalt emulsifiers can be divided into synthetic emulsifiers, natural emulsifiers, inorganic powder emulsifiers, etc. according to their formation. Synthetic emulsifiers are currently the most widely used. Asphalt emulsifiers are a type of organically synthesized surfactant that can emulsify asphalt.
Emulsifiers are divided into ionic and non-ionic types according to whether the hydrophilic group of the emulsifier molecule is charged when the emulsifier is dissolved in water. Ionic emulsifiers are divided into cationic and anionic types due to the different charges of the hydrophilic group after ionization in water. In addition, there are zwitterionic types.
Cationic emulsifiers are divided into three types: fast cracking, medium cracking, and slow cracking according to the speed of demulsification. Slow cracking emulsifiers are divided into slow setting and fast setting according to the length of time the mixture solidifies. Slow cracking and slow setting types are mainly used as permeable oils. Slow cracking and fast setting are used for micro-surfacing, slurry sealing, cold regeneration, etc. Medium cracking and fast cracking types are used for adhesive layer oils, gravel sealing layers, and waterproof base oils.

Characteristics of micro-surfacing thin layer paving:
(1) It has a better sealing effect than ordinary hot asphalt overlay, which can prevent the infiltration of road surface water and better protect the road surface structure;
(2) Micro-surfacing is a quick construction solution for rutting repair;
(3) Compared with ordinary slurry seal, micro-surfacing has better wear resistance and anti-skid performance;
(4) Under the premise of stable roadbed and pavement, the service life of micro-surfacing construction can reach more than 5 years;
(5) Micro-surfacing paving adopts mechanized construction, with less manual work, fast construction speed and high efficiency;
(6) Compared with the traditional asphalt pavement maintenance method of milling and paving about 4cm hot mix asphalt concrete overlay, the unit area cost is lower;
(7) Fast opening to traffic, 1-2 hours after paving construction, it can be opened to traffic, reducing the impact of construction on traffic;
(8) Cold construction, no need for heating, energy saving and environmental protection.

Asphalt melting equipment follows the continuous development of urbanization. Whether in rural areas or in big cities, you can see a lot of construction sites, among which it is inevitable that asphalt melting equipment is set up nearby. Asphalt melting equipment manufacturers, whether large or small asphalt melting equipment or relatively large and small, although it is just a simple mechanical equipment, but to move or transport it, it is a small matter, and there are many places that require attention.
The technical level of the asphalt melting equipment disassembly and assembly team directly affects the disassembly and assembly progress of the asphalt melting equipment; improve on-site supervision, reasonably organize disassembly and assembly machinery and equipment and workers, try to avoid cross-operation, and promote the disassembly and assembly process to consume less manpower and machinery shifts to do a good job in the transportation of asphalt melting equipment; ensure that the asphalt melting equipment is not damaged and the prefabricated components are not missed.

For users of equipment, the amount of material used is the focus of every user. We should attach great importance to this link in the production process. The following is an analysis of the amount of emulsifier used by Gaoyuan manufacturers.
When emulsified asphalt equipment is emulsifying asphalt, the asphalt temperature is better controlled at above 130°C to have better fluidity; 2. The amount of emulsifier is generally 8-14‰ of emulsified asphalt, that is, 8-14kg per ton of emulsified asphalt (asphalt content is more than 50%), and the temperature is 60-70°C. The emulsifier should be used in the middle and upper limit of the production, 10 kg per ton of emulsified asphalt, or 20 kg per ton of water (asphalt content is 50%); the amount of BE-3 emulsifier is generally 18-25‰ of emulsified asphalt, that is, 18-25kg per ton of emulsified asphalt (asphalt content is more than 50%), and the emulsifier solution temperature is 60-70°C. The emulsifier should be used in the upper and middle limits in the first production to ensure successful production. Use 24 kg per ton of emulsified asphalt, or 48 kg per ton of water (asphalt content is 50%). After the production goes smoothly, the dosage can be reduced according to actual conditions.

● The spreading amount is accurate, and three overlapping asphalt sprayings can be achieved with good uniformity;
● Intelligent control of spreading amount, real-time monitoring of spreading amount and vehicle speed, closed-loop control;
● Full computer touch screen operation, equipped with video monitoring system, the entire work process can be observed at any time;
● Reliable performance, durability and easy operation;

The heating principle of asphalt decanter equipment is to heat, melt and decanter the asphalt through the heating plate. It is mainly composed of de-barreling box, lifting system, propeller and electrical control system.
The box of asphalt decanter plant is divided into upper and lower chambers. The upper chamber is the asphalt melting chamber, which is densely covered with heat transfer oil heating coils or hot air heating pipes. The asphalt is melted and removed from the barrel by heat. The hoisting hook is installed on the gantry, and a barrel grabber is hung. The asphalt barrel is lifted by the electric winch, and then the asphalt barrel is placed on the guide rail by horizontal movement. Then the propeller pushes the barrel into the upper chamber through two guide rails, and an empty barrel is pushed out at the rear end outlet.
An anti-drip oil tank is provided at the entrance of the asphalt barrel. The asphalt enters the lower chamber of the box and is continuously heated to a temperature of about 100 to be transported, and then pumped into the asphalt tank by the asphalt pump. The lower chamber can also be used as an asphalt heating tank.
The asphalt decanter plant has the characteristics of not being restricted by the construction environment, strong adaptability and extremely low failure rate. If large production is required, multiple units can be assembled.

Synchronous chip seal is a process technology for treating cracks in asphalt pavement, and it is currently a highway construction and pavement maintenance technology with low energy consumption and high cost performance. Do you know what its six technical characteristics are? If you don’t know, follow the editor of Sinoroader company to have a look.

What is the overall operation process of bitumen (composition: asphaltene and resin) drum melting equipment?
The bitumen (composition: asphaltene and resin) drum melting equipment produced by our company mainly uses barrel debarking and melting of large barrels of bitumen (definition: the transformation process of materials from solid to liquid), using high-temperature thermal oil as the material (playing a decision-making role substance), used in supporting facilities of high-temperature thermal oil heating equipment. 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.

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 thermal 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.

Modified asphalt equipment is a widely used asphalt equipment. Now its ultra-high performance has been widely praised by users. However, we must first ensure the safe use of modified asphalt equipment in order to fully demonstrate its performance. So how much do you know about the safe use and operation of modified asphalt equipment? Today, Gaoyuan Road Construction will explain it in detail:
1. Placement: The modified asphalt equipment should be placed on a flat place, and the front axle wheel should be fixed with sleepers and the tires should be suspended to ensure that the machine does not move around during operation.
2. Check regularly whether the mixer blades are deformed and whether the screws are loose.
3. Check whether the running direction of the mixing barrel is consistent with the arrow. If not, please replace the positive and negative poles of the wiring.
4. Before powering on, check for empty vehicle trial operation, check for leakage, and check the idling of the mixing barrel. The normal speed is about 3 times faster when the empty vehicle is full. If the speed is wrong, you should stop and check.
5. If the machine is stopped for more than one hour after the asphalt mixing is completed, clean the mixing barrel, pour in clean water, and clean the mortar. Then drain the water. Remember that there should be no water accumulation in the barrel to prevent the formula from changing and even rusting of the pages and other links.

Friends who are ready to get started have a surprise today. The editor will give you a brief introduction on how to produce emulsified asphalt.

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.

According to the configuration, layout and controllability of bitumen melting equipment, bitumen melting plant can be divided into three types: mobile, transportable and portable. What should be paid attention to in the production of bitumen melter equipment of different sizes? Let’s learn about it below!
Bitumen melting plant is to fix the demulsifier mixing equipment, black anti-static tweezers, asphalt pump, automatic control system, etc. on a special support chassis. Because the bitumen melter equipment can directly change the production site, it is suitable for the production of emulsion bitumen in construction sites with decentralized projects, small usage and frequent movement.
The main components of the bitumen melting equipments are installed in one or two 60 standard containers. The bitumen melting plant is loaded and transported separately to complete the relocation of the construction site. With the help of asphalt melting equipments hoisting equipment, it is quickly installed and put into operation. Such bitumen melter plant has large, medium and small different configurations, which can meet different project requirements.

I believe that after a long period of contact with asphalt tanks, everyone knows that the working efficiency of emulsified asphalt equipment actually depends on the operator. The more experienced the operator is and the stronger his ability to deal with various emergencies is, the higher the working efficiency will be, and the safety will be guaranteed. Mastering more equipment-related knowledge is what every friend should pursue. Today, the editor will explain to you the details that need to be paid attention to when operating emulsified asphalt equipment:

Bitumen melter equipment plays an important role in highway construction, but traditional heating methods have problems such as high energy consumption and low efficiency. This article introduces a new type of bitumen melting plant, which uses electric heating technology and has the advantages of energy saving, environmental protection and environmental protection. The working principle of this equipment is to heat the bitumen through the heat generated by the resistance wire, and then automatically adjust the temperature and flow rate through the control system to achieve the best melting effect.

When using asphalt melting equipment, you need to pay attention to the following points:
1. The power must be cut off during installation and operation to ensure safety.
2. Before starting operation, check whether all components are normal and have no fault prompts. In particular, the inspection of key parts such as the heater part and the conveyor belt device is particularly important.

Modified material bitumen stripper, if the definition is simple, is an bitumen stripper. If described in detail, modified materials such as rubber powder or other fillers are added to the bitumen stripper, or an bitumen stripper is used to Block chemical substances such as photooxygen catalysis. The first is to change the chemical composition of the bitumen stripper, and the second is to use modified materials to equip the stripper with a certain spatial network structure, thereby improving its performance. Modified bitumen strippers mainly include vulcanized rubber and thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer modified bitumen strippers, plastic and anti-corrosion coating modified bitumen strippers and polymer modified bitumen strippers.

The slurry seal truck is mainly used for preventive maintenance of municipal pavement. It can improve the quality of the seal, effectively improve the integrity and crack resistance of the seal, extend the service life, and the construction process is simple without adding too many construction links. It is a kind of road maintenance equipment that has become quite popular in recent years.

Due to the incorporation of a certain proportion of water into the slurry sealing mixture, it is easy to evaporate in the air. After the water is evaporated, it will become dry and hardened. Therefore, after the slurry is formed, it not only looks very similar to fine-grained asphalt concrete, but does not affect the visual appearance of the road. It also has the same technical properties as fine-grained concrete in terms of wear resistance, anti-skid, waterproofing, and smoothness. Slurry seal technology is used in highway pavement maintenance because of its simple construction technology, short construction period, low cost, high quality, wide application, strong adaptability, etc. It is an asphalt with both economy and high efficiency. Pavement maintenance technology is worthy of application and promotion.

For each equipment used, certain safety knowledge must be followed. For the use of emulsified asphalt equipment, detailed instructions are given:
1. Placement: The emulsified asphalt equipment should be placed on a flat place, the front axle should be fixed to the sleepers, and the tires should be dangling. The machine should not be fiddled with at will to affect normal operation.
2. Regularly check whether the mixer blades are deformed and the screws are loose.
3. Check whether the running direction of the mixing drum is consistent with the direction of the arrow. Please replace the positive and negative poles of the terminal.
4. Before turning on the power, check the no-load test run, check for air leakage, and check the idling speed of the mixing barrel. The normal speed is about 3 times faster than the empty car. If not, stop the inspection.
5. If the asphalt material is stopped for one hour after mixing, clean the mixing barrel, pour in clean water, and clean the mortar. Then drain the water. Remember that there should be no water in the barrel to prevent the formula from changing, so that the page and other links will rust. Sinoroader will provide you with more safe emulsified asphalt knowledge, please continue to browse.

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.
