Bitumen Processing

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.

In the asphalt-water system, the emulsifier molecules move between the asphalt and water interface, and the water-loving groups of the molecules are adsorbed on the surface of the asphalt, making it charged, while the hydrophilic groups enter the water phase. This connects the asphalt particles with water, reducing the interfacial tension between the two. At the same time, because the asphalt particles have the same charge and repel each other, they are prevented from agglomerating with each other, so that the asphalt emulsion can remain uniform and stable for a certain period of time. The nature of the charge is determined by the charge of the hydrophobic group or hydrocarbon chain of the emulsifier. If it is negatively charged, the asphalt particles are negatively charged, and the emulsion formed is an anionic asphalt emulsion. Otherwise, it is a cationic asphalt emulsion. If the asphalt particles have both negative and positive charges, the emulsion is a zwitterionic asphalt emulsion; in addition, there is also a non-ionic asphalt liquid.

During the road construction process, asphalt spreaders also play an irreplaceable role. Let’s take a look at the main performance advantages of asphalt spreaders produced by Sinoroader and where their main contributions exist?
1. Manual/automatic control of spraying volume and working width. Each nozzle can be controlled individually, and the determinant nozzles can be freely combined to adjust the spraying width at will. Spreading control can be performed in the cab or the rear platform.
2. The automatic control system can measure the vehicle speed and automatically calculate the number of revolutions of the asphalt pump according to the input spreading volume, spraying width and asphalt type, and then automatically adjust the number of asphalt pumps through the system.
3. The vehicle-mounted rapid heating system (10-15℃/h) can improve the heating efficiency and reduce the construction auxiliary time and spreading temperature;
4. The flushing nozzle system can blow out the remaining asphalt in the nozzle through diesel and high-pressure air to prevent the asphalt from freezing in the nozzle and increase the service life of the nozzle.

After the emulsified bitumen equipment has been used for a long time, it needs maintenance. There are several points to note when adjusting the emulsified bitumen equipment:
1. During use, regular maintenance should be carried out as appropriate according to the processing materials;
2. For the maintenance and use of the motor, please refer to the motor manual;
3. Most of the random spare parts are national standard and department standard parts, which are purchased all over the country;
4. The colloid mill is a high-precision machine with a line speed of up to 20m/second and a very small grinding disc gap. After inspection and reinstallation, the coaxiality error between the housing and the main shaft must be corrected with a dial indicator ≤0.05mm;
5. When repairing the machine, it is not allowed to be directly knocked with an iron bell during the disassembly, reinstallation and adjustment process. Use a wooden hammer or a wooden block to knock gently to avoid damaging the parts;
6. The machine seals: divided into static and dynamic seals. The static seal uses an O-type rubber ring and the dynamic seal uses a hard mechanical combined seal. If the hard sealing surface is scratched, it should be repaired by grinding on flat glass or flat casting immediately. The grinding material should be ≥200# silicon carbide grinding paste. If the seal is damaged or cracked seriously, please replace it immediately.

Emulsified asphalt equipment is an indispensable equipment in road construction and one of the basic equipment for waterproof coatings. What are the components of emulsified asphalt equipment? Today, we will explain the various parts of emulsified asphalt equipment in detail.
Required parts
Asphalt pump: a device for supplying asphalt to the colloid mill.
Emulsion pump: a device for supplying emulsion to the colloid mill.
Colloid mill: a device for mixing, homogenizing and emulsifying asphalt and emulsion.
Control system: a device for controlling the flow of asphalt and emulsion, and the start and stop of various pumps.
Emulsion blending: a device for mixing water, emulsifiers and other additives.
Water heating part: a device for heating water.

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.

After the emulsified asphalt equipment has been used for a long time, it needs maintenance. There are several points to note when adjusting the emulsified asphalt equipment:
1. During use, regular maintenance should be carried out as appropriate according to the processing materials;
2. For the maintenance and use of the motor, please refer to the motor instruction manual;
3. Most of the random spare parts are national standard and department standard parts, which are purchased all over the country;
4. The colloid mill is a high-precision machine with a line speed of up to 20m/second and a very small grinding disc gap. After overhaul, the coaxiality error between the housing and the main shaft must be corrected with a dial indicator to ≤0.05mm;
5. When repairing the machine, it is not allowed to be directly knocked with an iron bell during the disassembly, reassembly and adjustment process. Use a wooden hammer or a wooden block to knock gently to avoid damaging the parts;
6. The seals of this machine are divided into static and dynamic seals. The static seal uses an O-type rubber ring and the dynamic seal uses a hard mechanical combined seal. If the hard sealing surface is scratched, it should be repaired by grinding on flat glass or flat castings immediately. The grinding material should be ≥200# silicon carbide grinding paste. If the seal is damaged or cracked seriously, please replace it immediately.

The slurry sealer is a special equipment for road maintenance that we see in our lives. The slurry sealer is mainly used to deal with the decrease in surface wear resistance, cracks, etc. of the road, to improve the waterproofness and skid resistance of the road surface, thereby greatly improving the driving comfort and flatness inside, so as to achieve a new effect for the road surface. So what is the operation process of the slurry sealer?
Before starting the slurry sealer, you should be prepared to test the quality of the slurry sealer materials before construction. One of the most important points is to certify and inspect whether the content of emulsified asphalt can meet the requirements of the specification, and the mixture should also meet the requirements. After confirming the measurement standards, check that the road surface to be constructed should be dry, free of debris, water, flat, etc.

As technology becomes more and more advanced, we use more and more equipment in our lives, and the functions are also very complete. Synchronous crushed stone seal is also a product used in many places. After continuous improvement and development, it has many functions. Next, we will introduce to you the problem of preventive maintenance of synchronous crushed stone seal? If you want to know, you can read it together.

Synchronous gravel sealer fog sealer is a method of road maintenance. Some roads have network cracks, cracks and holes after a few years of use. The effective method is fog seal technology. The cost is very low. After the fog seal, due to the large fluidity of the material, it can penetrate into the aggregate and flow into the cracks to “transfuse” the road surface, restore the asphalt adhesion of the road surface, fill small cracks and gaps, prevent water from penetrating the road surface, and keep the road surface performance for 2 to 3 years, delaying the high maintenance cost and improving the economic benefits.

As a black road construction machinery, the synchronous chip sealer is the main equipment for highways, urban roads, airports, and port terminal facilities. Do you know what kind of synchronous chip sealer? What products do you have to choose from?
Asphalt dispensers are classified according to the purpose, operation mode, and drive mode of the asphalt pump. According to the purpose, asphalt dispensers can be divided into two types: road use and road construction use. The asphalt tank capacity of the asphalt dispenser used for road construction generally does not exceed 400L, while the asphalt tank capacity of the asphalt dispenser used for road construction is 3000-20000L.

Emulsified asphalt is made by hot melting asphalt, dispersing it in an aqueous solution containing an emulsifier in a fine particle state through mechanical action, forming an oil-in-water asphalt emulsion. In road construction and maintenance projects, emulsified asphalt can be used for road maintenance, bonding between road layers, bridge deck paving, permeable oil on cement-stabilized macadam foundation, slurry seal waterproof layer, etc. It has the advantages of cold construction, safety, environmental protection, resource conservation, energy conservation, extended construction season, and improved construction conditions. It plays a very important role in the construction and maintenance of municipal roads, especially in recent years, the improvement of the production level of emulsified asphalt has actively promoted the technological progress and promotion and application of emulsified asphalt. However, in the production and use of emulsified asphalt, undesirable phenomena such as crusting, flocculation, oil-water stratification, and agglomeration often occur, which brings unnecessary troubles to construction. To this end, the author conducted a large number of experimental studies from nine aspects, including emulsification equipment, emulsifier, base asphalt, pH value, temperature, storage temperature, mechanical action, freezing and melting, and long-term placement, and summarized the factors that affect the stability of emulsified asphalt. The analysis is as follows:

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.

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.

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.

No matter the application of emulsified asphalt equipment or other related equipment, in the application of appropriate maintenance work, today we introduce professional technicians to do the following 3 points to effectively improve the utilization rate of asphalt equipment:
1. When the emulsified asphalt plant is out of use for a long time, the liquid in the pipeline and storage tank should be discharged, the lid should be sealed, kept clean, and all moving parts are lubricated. When it is used for the first time and disabled for a long time, the rust of the oil tank should be removed, and the water filter should be cleaned regularly.
2. When the outdoor temperature is lower than -5℃, the emulsified asphalt production equipment shall not store the product without insulation device, and it should be discharged in time to avoid freezing and demulsification of emulsified asphalt.
3. The gap between the stator and the rotor of the emulsified asphalt equipment should be checked regularly. When the machine cannot meet the smaller gap requirements, the stator and rotor should be replaced.

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.

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.

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?

Precautions for checking emulsified asphalt equipment
Sinoroader emulsified asphalt pavement engineering common equipment, now has gradually been widely used.
We all know that before any equipment is used, the equipment should be preliminarily inspected to check whether the installation is normal, and then put into use. The use of modified asphalt modified asphalt production equipment can also extend the peak season. The modified asphalt and stone water machine can be mixed with wet stone to form a continuous film under the surface conditions of low-temperature asphalt and stone. The viscosity of the asphalt is low and the viscosity of the emulsified asphalt is low. Wet film below 10 degrees.

Working conditions of asphalt debarreling equipment:
(1) Outdoor temperature: 20°C (average temperature of day and night)
(2) Heat exchange oil: 320 ℃
(3) Loading time is not included (because the personnel equipped in each unit are different, so the loading time is also different)
(4) There is no fluctuation in oil temperature (optimal automatic burner)
(5) The working temperature of the oil furnace is 220-260 ℃
(6) The flow rate of the oil circulation pump is not less than 50m3/h traffic
(7) When the outdoor temperature is lower than 20℃, the output decreases. The lower the temperature, the lower the output, and the higher the temperature, the higher the output.
(8) The greater the deformation of the asphalt barrel, the greater the impact on the output

The advantages of Sinoroader bitumen decanter equipment over similar domestic equipment are reflected in the following points:
1. The equipment produces 8-10t/hour, with an automatic telescopic sealed container structure. It uses an electric hoist to lift the asphalt barrel at the inlet guide tube. Start to control the hydraulic cart forward button, which will promote the barrel push (push and slide into the barrel). It is a 1300mm hydraulic cylinder with a 7.5-ton top thrust. The device has a beautiful appearance, reasonable layout, compactness, stable performance, and is suitable for production under various industrial and mining conditions.
2. Fast barrel removal: According to the principle of layered heating, it adopts four-layer thermal oil heating technology, a single inlet and outlet, and high thermal efficiency of heating; at the same time, it uses the waste heat of combustion gas for two heatings and efficient use of energy; the barrel body uses high-quality rock wool insulation material.
3. Good environmental protection: closed structure, no pollution.
4. No barrel hanging: The upper part of the asphalt barrel is hot, and each is directly affected by the thermal oil heating pipe. The barrel wall directly receives the heat dissipation of the heating coil, and the barrel is clean and fast, which will not cause waste of asphalt barrel hanging.
5. Strong adaptability: Suitable for imported and domestic barrels, and the deformation of asphalt barrels will not affect production.
6. Good dehydration: Use a large-displacement asphalt pump for internal circulation, stirring, water vapor overflows, and is naturally discharged from the exhaust port. After dehydration, asphalt can be directly used to produce asphalt mixture or used as matrix asphalt.
7. Automatic slag removal: This set of equipment has an automatic slag removal function. The filter device sets the asphalt circulation pipeline through the filter, which can automatically remove the barreled asphalt slag.
8. Safe and reliable: The equipment adopts an automatic control system, an automatic ignition burner import, can automatically control the temperature according to the temperature, and is equipped with corresponding monitoring instruments.
9. Convenient relocation: The whole machine is assembled with large components, which is easy to move and quick to assemble.

No matter what product is used, after using it for a period of time, some large and small problems will inevitably arise, which will affect our work, just like the use of asphalt heating equipment will cause problems such as uneven asphalt pavement. We know that for the use of asphalt heating equipment, the construction of asphalt pavement is affected by many factors, including the quality of construction personnel, the quality of roadbed construction, the treatment of the two sections of the bridgehead culvert and the expansion joint of the bridge, the construction of the road subbase and base, the selection of road construction machinery and the quality of road materials. These are the main reasons affecting the flatness of the road surface.
In order to better help customers apply it, professionals introduce the use of asphalt heating equipment. Flatness is an important indicator for measuring the quality of high-grade pavement. Unsmooth pavement will increase driving resistance and cause additional vibrations in the vehicle, which will directly affect the safety and comfort of driving. At the same time, it will aggravate the damage of automobile parts and tires and increase fuel consumption.

Asphalt spreader is used to spread the penetration oil, waterproof layer and bonding layer of the bottom layer of asphalt pavement of high-grade highway. It can also be used for the construction of county and township highway oil roads with layered paving technology. It consists of a car chassis, an asphalt tank, an asphalt pumping and spraying system, a thermal oil heating system, a hydraulic system, a combustion system, a control system, a pneumatic system, and an operating platform.
Knowing how to properly operate and maintain the asphalt spreader can not only extend the service life of the equipment, but also enable the construction project to proceed smoothly. So what problems should the asphalt spreader pay attention to when working? The technicians of Gaoyuan Road Construction Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. give you tips:
1). Before use, please check whether the position of each valve is accurate and make preparations before work. After starting the motor of the asphalt spreader, check the four thermal oil valves and the pressure gauge. After everything is normal, start the engine and the power take-off starts to work. Test the asphalt pump and circulate for 5 minutes. If the pump head shell is hot, slowly close the thermal oil pump valve. If the heating is insufficient, the pump will not turn or make noise. In this case, the valve needs to be opened to continue heating the asphalt pump until it can operate normally. During the working process, the asphalt liquid must be kept at a working temperature of 160~180℃, and it cannot be filled too full (pay attention to the liquid level pointer during the injection of asphalt liquid, and check the tank mouth at any time). After the asphalt liquid is injected, the filling port must be closed tightly to prevent the asphalt liquid from overflowing during transportation.
2). During use, asphalt may not be pumped in. At this time, it is necessary to check whether the interface of the asphalt suction pipe is leaking. When the asphalt pump and pipeline are blocked by solidified asphalt, a blowtorch can be used for baking, and the pump must not be forced to turn. When baking, care should be taken to avoid directly baking the ball valve and rubber parts.
3). When spraying asphalt, the car should be driven at a low speed. Do not step on the accelerator hard, otherwise it may cause damage to the clutch, asphalt pump and other components. If 6m wide asphalt is spread, pay attention to obstacles on both sides at any time to prevent collision with the spreading pipe. At the same time, the asphalt should be kept in a large circulation state until the spreading work is completed. After the work is completed every day, if there is any remaining asphalt, it must be returned to the asphalt pool, otherwise it will solidify in the tank and cannot work next time.
4). In addition, the emulsifier must also pay attention to daily maintenance:
1. The emulsifier and delivery pump and other motors, agitators, and valves should be maintained daily.
2. The emulsifier should be cleaned after work every day.
3. The speed regulating pump used to control the flow should be regularly tested for accuracy, and adjusted and maintained in time. The asphalt emulsifier should regularly check the matching clearance between its stator and rotor. When the minimum clearance specified by the machine cannot be reached, the stator and rotor should be replaced.
4. If the equipment is out of use for a long time, the liquid in the tank and pipeline should be emptied (the emulsifier aqueous solution should not be stored for a long time), the hole covers should be tightly closed, kept clean, and the running parts should be filled with lubricating oil. When it is used for the first time or when it is used again after a long period of inactivity, the rust in the tank should be removed, and the water filter should be cleaned regularly.
5. Regularly check whether the terminal in the electric control cabinet is loose, whether the wires are worn during shipment, and remove dust to avoid damage to the machine parts. The frequency converter is a precision instrument. Please refer to the instruction manual for specific use and maintenance.
6. There is a heat transfer oil coil in the emulsifier water solution heating stirring tank. When injecting cold water into the water tank, the heat transfer oil switch should be turned off first, and then the switch should be turned on to heat after adding the required amount of water. Pouring cold water directly into the high-temperature heat transfer oil pipeline can easily cause the weld to crack.

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.

Bitumen decanter equipment can be placed in a complex system as an independent unit, replacing the existing heat source de-barreling method, or in parallel as a core component of a large set of equipment, or it can work independently to meet the requirements of small-scale construction operations.
The Sinoroader bitumen decanter device is mainly composed of a de-barreling box, a lifting mechanism, a hydraulic thruster and an electrical control system. The box is divided into two chambers, the upper chamber is a barreled bitumen melting chamber, and heating coils are evenly distributed around it. The heating pipe and the bitumen barrel mainly exchange heat in a radiation manner to achieve the purpose of bitumen de-barreling. Several guide rails are the tracks for the bitumen barrel to enter. The lower chamber is mainly to continue heating the bitumen removed from the barrel to make the temperature reach the suction pump temperature (100℃), and then the asphalt pump is pumped into the upper chamber. At the same time, an empty barrel is pushed out at the rear end outlet. There is also an oil tank on the platform at the entrance of the asphalt barrel to prevent the dripping bitumen from flowing out.
The inlet and outlet doors of the device adopt a spring automatic closing mechanism. The door can be automatically closed after the asphalt barrel is pushed in or out to reduce heat loss. A temperature gauge is installed at the asphalt outlet to observe the asphalt outlet temperature. The electrical control system can control the opening and closing of the hydraulic pump and the reversing of the electromagnetic reversing valve to realize the advance and retreat of the hydraulic cylinder. If the heating time is extended, a higher temperature can be obtained. The lifting mechanism adopts a cantilever structure. The bitumen barrel is lifted by an electric hoist, and then moved horizontally to place the bitumen barrel on the guide rail. A temperature gauge is installed at the outlet of the asphalt meltering equipment to observe its outlet temperature.

Recently, I found that many people don’t know much about the operation skills of asphalt pavement spreaders. If you also want to know what’s going on, you can read this introduction below.
Asphalt pavement spreaders are an indispensable and important equipment in road maintenance and construction. Their operation skills directly affect construction efficiency and project quality. The following introduces the operation skills of asphalt pavement spreaders from four aspects: pre-operation preparation, precautions during construction, spreading skills, and post-operation cleaning and maintenance:

With the rapid development of highway construction and the increase in demand for asphalt, barreled bitumen has been widely used for its convenient transportation and easy storage. In particular, most of the high-performance imported bitumen used in high-grade highways is in barrel form, which requires an bitumen melter equipment with fast melting speed, clean debarreling, and prevention of asphalt aging.
The upper part of the debarreler of the bitumen melter equipment is hotter, and each barrel is directly heated by the heat transfer oil coil. The barrel wall directly bears the heat radiation of the heating coil. The asphalt is cleanly and sensitively debarreled, and there will be no waste of asphalt hanging barrels. According to the principle of layered heating, four-layer heating technology is adopted, with single inlet and single outlet of heat transfer oil, and high thermal efficiency of heating; at the same time, the waste heat of combustion exhaust gas is used for secondary heating, and power is effectively used; the debarreler body is insulated with high-quality rock wool material. It is suitable for various types of imported and domestic barrels, and the deformation of asphalt barrels will not affect production.

Asphalt spreader is an irreplaceable tool for highway maintenance. Asphalt spreader is an irreplaceable tool for highway maintenance. Highway maintenance is divided into four categories according to the nature of the project, scale, and technical complexity: minor repair, medium repair, major repair, and improvement. Specific classification:
(1) Minor repair and maintenance project: preventive maintenance and repair of slightly damaged parts of the highway and all its engineering facilities to keep them in good condition. It is usually planned and carried out daily by the maintenance team within the annual minor repair and maintenance quota funds on a monthly (ten-day) basis.
(2) Medium repair project: regular repair and reinforcement of general wear and tear and local damage of highway engineering facilities to restore them to their original state. It is usually planned and implemented by grassroots road maintenance agencies on an annual (seasonal) basis.
(3) Major repair project: periodic comprehensive repair of major damage to highway facilities to fully restore them to the original design standards, or local improvements and individual additions within the original technical level to gradually improve the highway’s traffic capacity. It is usually organized and implemented by grassroots road maintenance agencies or with the help of their superior agencies according to the approved annual project budget.
(4) Improvement projects are large projects that improve the technical level of roads and their engineering facilities in stages and sections due to their inability to meet traffic volume and load requirements, or significantly improve traffic capacity through improvements. It is usually organized and implemented or completed through bidding by regional road maintenance agencies or provincial road maintenance agencies according to the approved plan and design budget.
