    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.

    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.

    Emulsified asphalt is to melt the asphalt and disperse it in a water solution containing a certain amount of emulsifier in the form of tiny droplets through the action of emulsifier and machinery to form an oil-in-water asphalt emulsion. This emulsion is in the form of dry liquid at room temperature. Modified emulsified asphalt refers to a modified asphalt mixed emulsion with certain characteristics prepared by blending, mixing and preparing it with emulsified asphalt as the base material and asphalt modification material as the external modification material under a certain process flow. This mixed emulsion is called modified emulsified asphalt.
    The modified production process of emulsified asphalt can be divided into four categories:
    1. Adding latex modifier after making emulsified asphalt, that is, emulsification first and then modification;
    The production process is to grind the hot asphalt and emulsifier soap solution together through colloid mill to make ordinary emulsified asphalt, and then add the latex modifier to the emulsified asphalt through mechanical stirring to make modified emulsified asphalt. The advantage of this method is that it does not require high equipment, and the disadvantage is that it is suitable for latex modifiers.
    2. The latex modifier is mixed into the emulsifier aqueous solution, and then it enters the colloid mill together with the asphalt to produce modified emulsified asphalt;
    3. The latex modifier, emulsifier aqueous solution, and asphalt are put into the colloid mill at the same time to produce modified emulsified asphalt (the two methods 2 and 3 can be collectively referred to as emulsification and modification);
    The modifier is mixed into the emulsifier soap solution, and then the “modified” soap solution and asphalt are put into the colloid mill together to make modified emulsified asphalt; or the modifier is not pre-added to the emulsifier soap solution, but is placed in a tank separately, and finally mixed with the emulsifier, acid, water, etc. in the pumping pipeline and then enters the colloid mill together with the hot asphalt.
    The method of adding latex modifier to the soap tank has the advantage that it is exactly the same as the process of producing ordinary emulsified asphalt, and no changes are required to the production equipment; the disadvantage is that when using this method to produce modified emulsified asphalt, the metering of the modifier is subject to certain restrictions, and the modifier latex is required to be able to withstand the pH value of the soap solution. The method of directly connecting the latex modifier to the colloid mill through a pipeline can overcome the above disadvantages, but it requires necessary improvements to the ordinary emulsified asphalt equipment before it can be used for the production of modified emulsified asphalt.
    4. Emulsify the modified asphalt to produce emulsified modified asphalt.
    The ready-made modified asphalt is heated to a certain temperature, becomes a flowing state, and then enters the colloid mill together with the soap solution to make emulsified modified asphalt. In the entire asphalt production process, due to the high viscosity characteristics of the asphalt itself and the high temperature environment required for production, various high-performance pumps and valves play a vital role in the asphalt transportation process.
