What are the common hardware failures of asphalt mixing plants?

Asphalt mixing plants are highly professional equipment with complex systems. It is inevitable that some failures will occur during use. So, what are the common hardware failures of asphalt mixing plants? Do you know?
(I) Because its system is relatively complex, when different components have problems, the problems caused may be different. If during the operation, it is found that the material addition of each silo is inaccurate, this problem may be due to the failure of the sensor of the asphalt mixing plant. At this time, the machine should be stopped for inspection and replaced with a new sensor if necessary. It may also be caused by the jamming of the scale bar. At this time, foreign objects should be removed in time.

Asphalt mixing plants are highly professional equipment with complex systems. It is inevitable that some failures will occur during use. So, what are the common hardware failures of asphalt mixing plants? Do you know?
(I) Because its system is relatively complex, when different components have problems, the problems caused may be different. If during the operation, it is found that the material addition of each silo is inaccurate, this problem may be due to the failure of the sensor of the asphalt mixing plant. At this time, the machine should be stopped for inspection and replaced with a new sensor if necessary. It may also be caused by the jamming of the scale bar. At this time, foreign objects should be removed in time.
(II) Another common problem is that the cold material feeding device cannot work properly. In this case, there may be multiple reasons. First of all, we analyze that it may be because the cold material belt is jammed by gravel or debris. At this time, please do it immediately. It may also be caused by a circuit failure. At this time, check whether the motor control inverter of the asphalt mixing plant is abnormal and whether the line connection is normal, and then handle it. It may also be caused by belt slippage and deviation. For this problem, just adjust the belt tightness appropriately.
(III) There are abnormal sounds during operation. Usually, this noise is emitted by the mixer, indicating that there is a problem with the mixer. In this case, it may be due to its instantaneous overload operation, resulting in the misalignment of the fixed support of the drive motor, or it may be that the fixed bearing of the equipment is severely worn and needs to be replaced or repaired. If the inspection finds that the mixer arm and other parts are severely worn, they must be replaced in time to avoid affecting the production work. If the discharge temperature of the mixer of the asphalt mixing plant is abnormal, check whether there is any abnormality in its cleaning device in time and keep the temperature sensor clean.
The above are common hardware failure problems in the operation of asphalt mixing plants. I hope that after learning, we can avoid these problems in the production process and ensure work efficiency.

    1. Small asphalt mixing equipment should be set on a flat ground, and the front and rear wheel axles should be padded with square wood to fix the overhead tires to prevent sliding during use.
    2. Check whether the transmission clutch and brake are sensitive and reliable, whether the connecting components are worn, whether the track pulley is outstanding, whether there are obstacles around and the smoothness of each part.
    3. The rotation direction of the mixing drum should be consistent with the direction indicated by the arrow. If not, the motor wiring should be corrected.
    4. Small asphalt mixing equipment should implement secondary leakage protection measures. Before use, the power should be turned on and the empty vehicle operation is qualified before it can be officially used. During the trial operation, the mixing drum speed should be checked to see if it is appropriate. Under normal circumstances, the empty vehicle speed is slightly faster than the heavy vehicle (after loading) by 2-3 revolutions. If the difference is large, the ratio of the driving wheel to the transmission wheel should be adjusted.
    5. When stopping use, the power should be turned off and the switch box should be locked to prevent others from operating it by mistake.
    6. When the concrete mixing is finished or it is expected to stop for more than 1 hour, in addition to draining the remaining material, pour stones and clean water into the shaking barrel, start the machine and run it, rinse the mortar stuck on the barrel and unload it completely. There should be no water accumulation in the barrel to prevent the barrel and blades from rusting. At the same time, the dust outside the mixing barrel should be cleaned to keep the machine clean and intact.
    7. After starting the machine, always pay attention to whether the operation of each part of the mixer is normal. When stopping the machine, always check whether the mixer blades are bent and whether the screws are knocked off or loose.

    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.

    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.
