The key to improving the construction efficiency of asphalt melting equipment in daily operations

Asphalt melting equipment is one of the indispensable equipment in modern road construction. Its main function is to heat a large amount of cold hard asphalt to a suitable working temperature at the construction site. Advanced asphalt melting equipments can greatly improve construction efficiency, reduce human resources and time costs, and ensure pavement quality at the same time.
First of all, reliable asphalt melter equipment can shorten heating time and work efficiency and avoid wasting energy. Secondly, the equipment is easy to operate and can reduce the incidence of on-site safety accidents. In addition, this equipment has an automatic control and monitoring system that can adjust the working status and parameters at any time to meet different construction needs and environmental conditions.

In addition, this equipment has an automatic control and monitoring system that can adjust the working status and parameters at any time to meet different construction needs and environmental conditions.
When purchasing asphalt melting plant, comprehensive considerations should be made based on actual construction needs, including the heating speed, stability and energy-saving performance of the equipment. Choosing the equipment that suits you can not only improve construction efficiency, but also reduce costs and achieve the best balance between economic and social benefits.
In general, asphalt melting equipment plays an important role in improving construction efficiency. We should pay attention to the selection and use of equipment to ensure construction quality and efficiency while also paying attention to personnel safety and environmental protection.

    More Road Maintenance

    Urban road maintenance is an important part of ensuring road safety and smooth traffic, among which slurry seal and micro-surfacing are two common maintenance methods.
    Slurry seal:
    Composition: emulsified asphalt or modified emulsified asphalt
    Function: waterproof, anti-skid, improve road surface appearance
    Scope of application: cover surface of secondary trunk roads, lower seal layer of newly built roads
    Micro-surfacing:
    Composition: modified asphalt
    Function: waterproof, anti-skid, wear-resistant, improve road surface appearance, repair ruts
    Scope of application: expressways, trunk roads
    Construction process:
    Cleaning the road surface
    Laying out the lines
    Wetting the original road surface
    Paving
    Repairing
    Maintenance
    Opening traffic
    Test section length ≥ 200m
    When the original road surface is an asphalt road surface, it needs to be wetted with water in dry or hot weather; non-asphalt road surfaces should be sprayed with tack coat oil; the lower seal layer of semi-rigid base asphalt road surfaces needs to be sprayed with penetration oil.
    For sections that need to be opened to traffic as soon as possible, a thin layer of sand can be spread.
    Quality acceptance:
    Before construction, check the test report of raw materials, slurry mixture design report, and paver calibration report.
    The entire construction line is evaluated as a 1km section.
    The main control items include skid resistance, water permeability, and thickness.
    Through these steps, the service life of the road can be effectively extended and driving safety can be ensured.

    Detailed summary of slurry seal specifications

    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.

    From the current point of view, road construction machinery has bottomed out and asphalt meltering equipment has risen rapidly. In recent years, highway construction and maintenance departments have a strong awareness of using asphalt mixing equipment, especially in developed coastal areas such as Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, etc. In addition, these regions have a fast economic growth rate, relatively developed industry, and strong comprehensive economic strength. Therefore, the consumption of asphalt mixing equipments in these regions has always been at the forefront of the country. With the rapid development of highway construction and the increase in demand for asphalt, barreled asphalt has been widely used for its convenient transportation and easy storage. In particular, most of the high-performance imported asphalt used in high-grade highways is in barrel form, which requires an asphalt meltering equipment with fast melting speed, clean de-barreling, and can prevent asphalt aging. my country’s highway construction has achieved remarkable results, among which mechanized production has contributed greatly. Different types of asphalt mixers and bitumen meltering equipment are selected for the characteristics of large highway pavement construction and tight construction period. With the rapid development of my country’s economy, the further extension of expressways, and the large-scale development of western construction, the central and western regions have become new investment hotspots. While paying attention to the market in the developed eastern regions, domestic road construction machinery manufacturers have also increased their efforts to develop the central and western markets, creating new highlights for the domestic asphalt mixing plants consumer market. In summary, my country’s asphalt mixing plant sales market has begun to move westward with the westward movement of investment hotspots. As the market center of gravity gradually shifts westward, the market in the western region is gradually heating up. The self-heating integrated structure, hot air barrel melting and bitumen barrel flipping technology in the asphalt barrel removal equipment are our company’s self-heating integrated structure. The thermal oil furnace used in the old equipment is perfectly integrated with the asphalt barrel removal equipment body, which reduces the volume of the entire set of equipment, greatly reduces equipment investment, saves equipment space and transfer transportation costs.
