Introduction to the two mixing methods of asphalt mixing plants
Highways basically use asphalt materials, and asphalt mixing plants can be used to produce a variety of asphalt mixtures. So what are the mixing methods of asphalt mixing plants?
According to the mixing method, it can be divided into: continuous drum type and intermittent forced type. Continuous drum type, that is, the production is produced by continuous and uninterrupted mixing method, and the heating and drying of aggregates and the mixing of mixtures are carried out continuously in the same drum.
Forced intermittent type, that is, the heating and drying of aggregates and the mixing of mixtures are forced to be carried out periodically. The equipment mixes one pot at a time, and each mixing takes 45 to 60 seconds. The output depends on the equipment model.

The production of continuous drum mixing equipment is generally that each component (crushed stone, sand, stone powder, asphalt, etc.) is continuously and dynamically metered in proportion and continuously fed and drum dropped and mixed, that is, continuous metering by mass (or volume) – continuous feeding – continuous drum drop mixing – continuous discharging.
The production of forced intermittent mixing equipment generally involves accurate metering of each component (crushed stone, sand, stone powder, asphalt, etc.) in proportion and intermittent batch feeding and forced mixing, that is, batch metering – batch feeding – batch forced mixing – batch discharging. Aggregates are calculated after drying. The drying and heating of cold aggregates and the mixing of mixed materials are carried out in two different assembly devices (drying drum and agitator); the drying and heating method of cold aggregates is flame countercurrent.
The above is the introduction to the two mixing methods of asphalt mixing plants.
