The production of asphalt concrete aggregate is inseparable from asphalt 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.

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.
After drying and heating, the aggregates will be sent to the high point of the mixing tower by an elevator and slide onto the sand classifier through a chute. Here, the heated aggregates will be graded by a vibrating screen and stored in different hot silos according to the particle size. Each hot silo corresponds to a specification of grain, so that accurate batching can be achieved in the subsequent mixing process.
At the same time, the filler is also stored in the filler silo next to it waiting to be mixed. Asphalt, as one of the key materials in the entire production process, needs to maintain a certain temperature to maintain its fluidity. Therefore, in the asphalt mixing plant, a heating tank or a heat transfer oil system is usually equipped to ensure that the temperature of the asphalt is constant between 140 degrees Celsius and 180 degrees Celsius.
When all the raw materials are ready, the most important mixing stage begins. In this stage, each material has a corresponding metering scale to accurately measure according to its formula. First, hot grains of various specifications will be entered into the aggregate scale from the silo according to the formula ratio. At the same time, the filler will also enter the filler scale from the filler silo for metering. Similarly, asphalt will be weighed according to its formula ratio.
When all the raw materials are metered, they will be sent to the mixing tank in turn for mixing. The mixing wall and blades in the mixing tank will rotate at high speed to fully mix the various raw materials together. In this process, the mixing time and temperature need to be strictly controlled to ensure the uniformity and quality of the mixture.
After sufficient mixing, the mixed asphalt mixture will be sent to the storage bin through the hot material elevator. Storage silos are usually insulated to prevent the mixture from cooling down, thus ensuring its stability and quality during transportation and paving.
Finally, these carefully made and strictly inspected asphalt mixtures will be loaded onto transport vehicles and transported to the construction site. At the construction site, these mixtures will be evenly laid on the road and compacted and shaped by equipment such as rollers. After this series of treatments, a solid, durable and smooth road will appear before people’s eyes.

    I. The basis for the classification of asphalt mixing plant models
    The models of imported asphalt mixing plants are mainly divided according to the following three aspects:
    1. Production capacity: According to the size of production capacity, asphalt mixing plants can be divided into small (30-60 tons/hour), medium (60-300 tons/hour) and large (300 tons/hour or more).
    2. Functional characteristics: Different models of asphalt mixing plants have different functional configurations, such as asphalt batching system, interference screening system, thermal regeneration system and asphalt storage system, etc., to meet the needs of different road construction projects.
    3. Additional equipment: According to customer requirements, imported asphalt mixing plants can also be equipped with additional equipment such as environmental protection equipment, intelligent control systems, oil storage tanks, etc., which will also affect the classification of models.
    II. The difference and application scope of different models of asphalt mixing plants
    1. Small asphalt mixing plant: suitable for smaller-scale road construction projects, such as community or village roads. Although the production efficiency is low, it occupies a small area and is affordable.
    2. Medium-sized asphalt mixing plant: suitable for medium-sized road construction, such as county and township roads. Its production efficiency is high, it has certain requirements for the quality of raw materials, and the price is moderate.
    3. Large asphalt mixing plant: suitable for large-scale construction projects such as highways and airports. The production efficiency is extremely high, and the requirements for asphalt materials are also higher, but it occupies a large area and has a high price.
    In summary, the selection of a suitable imported asphalt mixing plant model requires comprehensive consideration of factors such as production capacity, functional characteristics and additional equipment, and selection and purchase according to the needs of the actual road construction project.

    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.

    When paving roads, asphalt is still needed, and special equipment is also needed when mixing asphalt. Among them, asphalt mixers can also be used with high efficiency, and have become a major equipment that construction units are concerned about. So what are the characteristics and advantages of such equipment, and in what aspects are they mainly reflected?
