Asphalt Mixing Plant

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.

Asphalt concrete, as the name implies, is a composite material formed by combining asphalt and concrete. Its main components usually include three categories, aggregate, filler and asphalt. Aggregate, as the basic skeleton of asphalt concrete, is mainly composed of crushed stones of different sizes. These crushed stones are carefully selected and proportioned to ensure the strength and stability of asphalt concrete. Filler usually refers to fine-grained materials such as stone powder, which are filled between crushed stones to increase density and improve overall strength. Asphalt is a binder that can tightly bond aggregate and filler together to form a solid whole. In the process of producing asphalt concrete, the proportion of various raw materials will be adjusted according to different formulas. These formulas are usually formulated according to the specific requirements of the road and the use environment to ensure that asphalt concrete can meet various complex road conditions. The place where this composite material is produced is a special asphalt mixing plant. This is an asphalt concrete mixing plant. The large trucks that we see every day to transport asphalt concrete come out from here. In the asphalt mixing plant, the entire production process is finely divided into multiple steps.
First, workers use loaders to deliver aggregates into cold silos. Cold silos are usually divided into several different chambers according to the size of aggregate particles, and each chamber corresponds to aggregates of different specifications. In this way, in the subsequent mixing process, the proportion of various aggregates can be accurately adjusted according to customer needs.
Next, these aggregates will be sent to the drying drum through a vibrating feeder and a belt conveyor. In the drying drum, the aggregates will be heated to a specified temperature by the high-temperature heat source provided by the burner. During this process, the spiral blades and sheep feed plates inside the drum will ensure that the aggregates are fully heated during rotation and remove the moisture in them. In this way, not only can the bonding strength between aggregates and asphalt be improved, but also the stability and durability of asphalt concrete after paving can be ensured.

The actual operation steps of drying drum of asphalt mixing equipment: 1. Pay attention to routine inspection; 2. Proper operation steps; 3. Effective maintenance.
Drying drum is a cylindrical device specially used for heating and drying stones in asphalt mixing equipment. Proper application and maintenance of drying drum can maximize the performance of drying drum, increase its service life and reduce application cost. Let’s take a look at the actual operation steps below.
1. Pay attention to routine inspections
The asphalt mixing equipment drying drum has been tested and inspected before leaving the factory, but it will be subjected to vibration and vibration during transportation to the construction site. A comprehensive inspection should be carried out before use: check whether all anchor bolts are tightened; whether all key pins are properly driven; whether all drive devices are adjusted according to the manufacturer’s instructions; whether all pipe connections are appropriate and whether the three-way joints are reliable; whether the entire equipment is fully lubricated; start the motor and check whether all parts can rotate steadily in the correct rotation direction; whether the pressure gauge can work normally and whether the valve is adjusted to the correct working pressure; whether the burner ignition mechanism is available and whether the gate valve is open.
2. Correct operation steps
After the equipment is started, it is recommended to control the machine manually at the beginning, and then switch to the automatic control mode after achieving the required production volume and pouring temperature. The stone should be dried and have a stable moisture content as much as possible so that the stone can maintain a stable final temperature when passing through the drying drum. If the stones delivered to the drying drum change frequently and the moisture content changes each time, the burner should be adjusted frequently to compensate for these changes.
The stones directly from the crushed stone have a relatively constant moisture content, while the stones from the outdoor storage yard have a higher moisture content, and the moisture content of different piles varies greatly. Therefore, it is best for the stones to come from the same source.

Bitumen is a polymer mixture composed of asphaltene, colloid, aromatic hydrocarbons and saturated hydrocarbons. Asphaltene is dispersed in aromatic hydrocarbons and saturated hydrocarbons with the help of colloid to form a colloidal structure. When the asphaltene content is low, the bitumen has good adhesion, plasticity and fluidity, but poor temperature stability and elasticity
Bitumen modification principle:
Bitumen is a polymer mixture composed of asphaltene, colloid, aromatic hydrocarbons and saturated hydrocarbons. Asphaltene is dispersed in aromatic hydrocarbons and saturated hydrocarbons with the help of colloid to form a colloidal structure. When the asphaltene content is low, the bitumen has good adhesion, plasticity and fluidity, but poor temperature stability and elasticity. The polymer modifier is similar to the asphaltene in bitumen. Its addition, after fully swelling with bitumen, absorbs the aromatic hydrocarbons and colloid in bitumen to form a new colloid, which not only retains or increases the adhesion, plasticity and fluidity of the original bitumen, but also improves the temperature stability and elasticity of bitumen, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the road performance of bitumen.
Bitumen modification process:
The modifier and additive are evenly and finely dispersed into the matrix bitumen, and the contact area between the original bitumen and the modifier is increased as much as possible to ensure full swelling and development, which not only improves the utilization rate of the modifier but also makes the original bitumen performance the most perfect improvement.
The modified bitumen complete production equipment has the following advantages:
1. It is suitable for a variety of modifiers, such as SBS, EVA, PE, etc.;
2. The ratio of modifier to bitumen can be set at any time according to user needs;
3. The production volume of each cycle can be set arbitrarily within the maximum productivity;
4. The modified bitumen has high quality, and the modifier has a small particle size and uniform distribution after emulsification;
5. The production process is fully automatically controlled, and the production records can be queried at any time;
6. The weighing system is accurate in measurement, and the weighing error is less than 1%;

Emulsified asphalt equipment plays an important role in road construction, and its production quality will directly affect the quality of facilities such as roads. In order to operate it better, we need to pay special attention to the following four points when applying emulsified asphalt equipment:
1. Before spraying, the emulsified asphalt equipment must check whether the position of each valve is correct. The hot asphalt added to the emulsified asphalt equipment must reach an operating temperature of 160~180℃. For long-distance transportation or long working time, a heating device can be used for insulation, but it cannot be used as an oil melting furnace.
2. When the asphalt in the emulsified asphalt equipment is heated by a burner, the asphalt height must exceed the upper plane of the combustion chamber, otherwise the combustion chamber will be burned.
3. The emulsified asphalt equipment cannot be filled too full, and the fuel filler cap must be closed tightly to prevent asphalt from overflowing during transportation.
4. This vehicle has two front and rear control consoles. When using the front control console, the switch must be turned to the front control. At this time, the rear control console can only control the lifting and lowering of the nozzle.
I believe that through the above description, everyone will be more comfortable when using emulsified asphalt equipment in the future. As for the relevant operating matters of the equipment, I will introduce them to you here today. If you want to know more information, please pay attention to the next explanation.

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.

The materials used in asphalt mixtures contain a lot of dust. When the equipment is operating, if the dust enters the atmosphere, it will cause pollution. Therefore, dust removal equipment must be installed, and now bag dust removal is the main method. Safety is a common sense issue. There are well-established standard safety rules.
Do not clean, oil or adjust any mechanical equipment that is not specifically explained during operation; turn off the power and lock it before inspection or repair activities to prepare for accidents. Because each situation has its own particularity. Therefore, be vigilant about safety damage issues, incorrect operation issues and other deficiencies. All of them may lead to accidents, personal injuries, reduced production efficiency, and more importantly, loss of life. Careful and early prevention is the best way to avoid accidents.
Careful and correct maintenance can make the equipment work more efficiently and control it within a certain level of pollution; the maintenance of each component should be carried out according to its operating standards; maintenance plans and safe operation procedures should be formulated according to the inspection and repair conditions that must be carried out.
Take out a work log to record all inspection and repair conditions, list the analysis of each inspection of each component and the description of the repair content or the date of the repair; the second step is to give the inspection cycle for each component, which should be determined according to the service life and wear condition of each component.

For road construction machinery, the following is mainly about the asphalt mixer in road construction machinery equipment. Because it is the key product of Wuxi road construction machinery manufacturers, it is necessary to carry out comprehensive training and mastery, so as to ensure meticulousness and practicality, and not ignore any knowledge points.
1. In road construction machinery, is there any difference between asphalt mixing equipment and asphalt concrete mixing equipment?
The answer given by Sinoroader Group manufacturer to this question is no, that is, there is no difference between asphalt mixing equipment and asphalt concrete mixing equipment. They refer to the same type of equipment, but they are different in name. It can be said that they are two names for the same type of equipment, and there is no difference in essence.
2. During the operation of the asphalt mixer, there is a sound in the mixing pot. What’s the matter?
In the view of Sinoroader Group, there are two answers to this question. One is that the mixer arm on the asphalt mixer is not good or damaged. The second is that the wear-resistant lining in the mixer is damaged, which leads to this problem.
3. What are the dust removal devices in the asphalt mixing equipment?
In the asphalt mixing equipment, for its dust removal device, Sinoroader Group believes that the key is to use the dry ash removal method, because it can facilitate the collection of raw materials. In terms of its dust removal equipment type, there are filter dust removal equipment, centrifugal fan dust removal equipment and force dust removal equipment, etc., which can all be used well.
