What does the routine maintenance of an asphalt mixing plant include?

What should I do when the reversing valve in the asphalt mixing plant fails? The editor has a trick:
1. The reversing valve cannot be reversed or the reversing action is slow, which is generally caused by poor lubrication, stuck or damaged springs, oil or impurities stuck in the sliding parts. In this regard, you should first check whether the oil mist is working normally; whether the viscosity of the lubricating oil is appropriate. If necessary, the lubricating oil should be replaced, the sliding part of the reversing valve should be cleaned, or the spring and reversing valve should be replaced.

The drive unit is one of the important components of the asphalt mixing plant, so whether it can be reliably operated must be highly valued to avoid adverse effects on the entire asphalt mixing plant. In order to ensure that the drive unit in the asphalt mixing plant is indeed complete and reliable, the following maintenance measures are essential.
The first thing to pay attention to is the universal rotating part of the drive unit of the asphalt mixing plant. This part has always been a fault-prone part. In order to reduce the occurrence of faults, grease should be added on time, and the wear should be checked frequently, and repaired and replaced in time. Users should also prepare the universal shaft assembly to avoid affecting the working process of the entire asphalt mixer.
Secondly, the cleanliness of the hydraulic oil used in the asphalt mixing plant must be ensured. After all, the working environment of the equipment is relatively harsh, so it is necessary to prevent sewage and mud from entering the hydraulic system. The hydraulic oil should also be replaced regularly according to the requirements of the manual. Once water or mud is found mixed in the hydraulic oil during inspection, the hydraulic system should be stopped immediately to clean the hydraulic system and replace the hydraulic oil.
Since there is a hydraulic system, of course, a matching cooling device is also required, which is also an important focus in the drive system of the asphalt mixing plant. To ensure that its function can be fully exerted, on the one hand, the hydraulic oil radiator should be cleaned regularly to prevent the radiator from being blocked by cement; on the other hand, the radiator electric fan should be checked to see if it is running normally to prevent the hydraulic oil temperature from exceeding the standard.
In general, as long as the hydraulic oil of the asphalt mixing plant drive device is kept clean, there are generally few faults; but the service life varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, so pay attention to its alkalinity observation and replace it in real time.

The asphalt mixing plant is a complete set of equipment for mass production of asphalt concrete. The whole machine of the equipment consists of multiple systems, such as batching system, drying system, combustion system, powder supply system and dust prevention system. Each system is an important part of the asphalt mixing plant.
The working condition of the combustion system of the asphalt mixing plant has a great impact on the whole system, which is related to the economic efficiency of the whole system, temperature control accuracy and flue gas emission indicators. This article will briefly introduce how to judge the working condition of the combustion system of the asphalt mixing plant.
Generally speaking, due to the complexity of the detection equipment and methods, there are no conditions to achieve in the working process of most asphalt mixing plants. Therefore, it is more convenient to judge the working condition by a series of relatively intuitive factors such as the color, brightness and shape of the flame. This method is very simple and effective.
When the combustion system of the asphalt mixing plant is working, when the fuel is burning normally in the drying cylinder, the user can observe the flame through the front of the cylinder. At this time, the center of the flame should be in the center of the drying cylinder, and the flame is evenly distributed around it and will not touch the cylinder wall. The flame is full. The whole outline of the flame is relatively clear, and there will be no black smoke tail.
The abnormal working state of the combustion system includes, for example, the diameter of the flame is too large, which will cause serious carbon deposits on the furnace tube and affect the subsequent working state of the combustion system.

Judging from the situation of highways in our country, asphalt pavement is the most used, which is one of the reasons why asphalt mixing plants have developed so rapidly. Under the situation of rapid economic development, the quality problems of asphalt pavement are gradually increasing, which puts forward higher and higher requirements for the quality of asphalt. It is understood that the primary factor that affects the quality of asphalt is the ratio of raw materials. This is also covered in the introduction of asphalt mixing stations. You can discuss it together.
In order to obtain high-quality asphalt products, in addition to the asphalt mixing equipment meeting the requirements, selecting the appropriate asphalt mixture gradation type is also a top priority. According to my country’s current regulations, the maximum particle size of the asphalt mixture in the upper layer of the highway should not exceed half of the layer thickness; while the maximum particle size of the aggregate in the middle surface layer of asphalt mixture should not exceed two-thirds of the layer thickness; and the asphalt layer should not exceed half of the layer thickness. The maximum nominal aggregate size of the pavement structural layer mixture should not exceed one-third of the layer thickness.
Based on this analysis, if an asphalt surface layer with a certain thickness is selected according to the above specifications, the particle size of the asphalt mixture aggregates will generally be larger, which will inevitably bring insurmountable construction difficulties to the construction of asphalt concrete pavement. After investigation, testing, analysis, and comparison, it can be seen that the lower layer has a wider choice, so the AG-201 gradation type can be used; while the selection of the upper layer mixture type is more difficult, and it is necessary to achieve a reasonable choice of this mix ratio. , on the one hand, we must examine as many aggregate resources as possible, and on the other hand, we must also consider the model of the mixing equipment.
In order to ensure the quality of the project, strict selection and inspection of engineering materials must be carried out. Therefore, the selection and determination of raw materials should be based on the requirements for pavement structure and use quality, combined with the supply of floor materials, and inspection in accordance with the requirements of relevant test procedures, and then Select the best materials so that all technical indicators of the materials meet the specified technical requirements.

2.1 First, let’s introduce the structure and principle of vibrating screen. The main components include: RetentionRubber, SupportTube, vibrating screen drive system and supporting electrical components
The working principle is introduced as follows: hot aggregate is sent to the vibrating screen through the hot aggregate elevator, and the hot aggregate is vibrated and screened by the vibrating screen. Stones of different specifications enter their corresponding hot aggregate bins through the screen and cannot pass through the geotechnical work. The super-sized particles from the cloth screen enter the overflow bin and are sent out.

With the strengthening of the trend of environmental protection and energy conservation, the environmental protection of asphalt mixing plants has gradually become the mainstream form of mixing plant development. What kind of equipment can be called an environmentally friendly asphalt mixing plant? What are the basic conditions that must be met?
First of all, as an environmentally friendly asphalt mixing plant, it must meet the requirement of using less energy consumption during use. That is to say, under the conditions of the same quantity and quality, less energy is consumed during the operation process, including various resources such as water and electricity.
Secondly, environmentally friendly asphalt mixing plants not only require less energy consumption, but also must achieve higher production efficiency, while also reducing carbon emissions in the entire production process, so as to meet the proposed low-carbon production requirements

Asphalt mixing stations play an important role in road construction. This article starts from the site selection, commissioning, and acceptance of the asphalt mixing plant, and elaborates on comprehensive and reasonable planning to avoid disturbing the normal construction order.

Oscillating screen. It can screen the heated aggregate according to the design. It requires fully enclosed, double oscillating motor replacement (replacing one substance for another (mostly the strong one takes the place of the weak)) eccentric shaft oscillation, each The layer screen is easy to install quickly. The service life of the drying roller and the power part is not less than 6000h. The roller can fully use heat, the material curtain flows evenly, and the inclination is required to be adjustable.

In the 21st century, with the booming development of modern engineering construction, complex integrated supporting equipment has been invested in large quantities. Its complex process and more independent operating components have relatively high requirements for the performance of its equipment control system. The application of PLC in asphalt mixing station realizes the control of the entire process of asphalt mixing station, which facilitates the construction of modern engineering construction. Therefore, this article discusses and analyzes the application of PLC in asphalt mixing station, which has certain economic value and practical significance.

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.

Safety is the key point for any piece of equipment, and asphalt mixers are of course no exception. What I want to share with you is the knowledge in this area, that is, the safe operation specifications of asphalt mixers. You might as well pay attention to it.

As a special equipment, standardizing the operating procedures of important production tools of asphalt mixing stations, conducting daily maintenance, regular inspections, eliminating hidden dangers, etc. can effectively ensure the safety and stability of the equipment and prevent equipment from malfunctioning due to misoperation. causing equipment damage. Good maintenance operations can also greatly extend the service life of asphalt mixing plants. Therefore, before daily operation, the asphalt mixing plant must be properly maintained to make the asphalt mixing plant operate better and create wealth.

Any kind of mechanical equipment must go through precise design, testing and other processes before it can be manufactured, and the same is true for asphalt mixing stations. According to the survey, the following stages are necessary for any asphalt mixing plant.
First of all, the main technical parameters of the product to be designed must be determined according to market needs, so construction market research, data analysis and other links are indispensable. Secondly, the ideal working principle and the plan to realize this principle will be determined through innovative conception and optimization screening. , a schematic diagram of the overall design scheme should also be given.

The quality of asphalt mixture directly determines the quality of asphalt pavement engineering. This article discusses the key points of supervision of ordinary highway asphalt plants in order to better monitor the quality of asphalt mixture.

The mobile forced asphalt mixing equipment adopts intermittent drying cylinder, double forced mixer, the main machine can be towed, small footprint, short installation cycle, convenient operation and maintenance, good stability, high degree of automation, high degree of standardization, and high quality of finished products, and the technology of continuous improvement. The mobile forced asphalt mixing plant is suitable for high-grade road asphalt paving and maintenance.
1. The combined structure of the drum dryer and the batching machine is installed on a movable bracket for easy movement.
2. The asphalt mixing plant is equipped with a double horizontal shaft to boil the aggregate and ensure uniform mixing.
3. In the densely arranged hanging barrels, the hot aggregate rises vertically. This lifting tool is easy to use and reliable.
4. For accurate weighing of aggregates, asphalt and powder ore, a measuring scale is used, which contains a weighing sensor for electronic measurement.
5. The movement of the power material follows a closed spiral path, which ensures little material loss and provides safe transfer.
6. On the cyclone burner, high-pressure oil is sprayed out and quickly atomized. In the combustion chamber, the material is fed in a spiral manner and automatically ignited by the oil mist, which ensures combustion efficiency. The cylindrical barrel of the burner is separated from the burner head. The furnace cavity can be pushed in and pulled out, which is convenient for replacing the damaged side column bricks inside the burner. The entire burner has a large heat capacity and high thermal strength. This is cost-effectiveness.

Asphalt mixing equipment is a large-scale equipment, so you must pay attention to safety when using it to avoid accidents. But to put it simply, if you want to truly use it safely, you must master some basic common sense. The following main things must be kept in mind.

Bitumen, a black or brown petroleum-like material, has a viscosity ranging from a viscous liquid to a glassy solid. It can be obtained as a residue separated from natural deposits. Bitumen consists of hydrogen and carbon compounds with small amounts of nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen. The preparation of mixed materials for mixing with asphalt is done in several steps:
Prediction: According to the asphalt recipe, the individual components of the aggregate are weighed. Usually this is done using a belt scale, since the material must go to the next step in a continuous flow.

Asphalt concrete mixing equipment generally uses conveyor belt conveyors to transport cold materials. Its main advantages are large conveying capacity, continuous operation, simple equipment structure and automatic control. However, belt deviation is a common fault, which directly affects the drying operation of the drying drum and also affects the production efficiency of the mixing equipment. Therefore, it is very important for the asphalt mixing station to solve the belt deviation problem at the operation site of the asphalt concrete mixing equipment.

People pay more and more attention to urban construction, and the use of asphalt is increasing. The application rate of asphalt mixing station is naturally growing rapidly.
Asphalt mixing station will encounter some faults more or less during use. The most common ones are uneven wear of the supporting wheel and wheel rail. Sometimes there will be some abnormal noise and gnawing. The main reason for this is that after the asphalt mixing station has been working for a period of time, the internal drying cylinder will be subjected to high temperature, and then friction will occur between the supporting wheel and wheel rail.
The above situation will also be accompanied by severe shaking, because the asphalt mixing station will directly cause the gap between the wheel rail and the supporting wheel to be improperly adjusted under the action of the drying material, or the mutual position of the two will be skewed. When encountering this situation, the user should add grease to the surface contact position of the supporting wheel and the wheel rail after daily operation.
In addition, the staff also need to pay attention to and timely adjust the tightness of the fixing nut while adding grease, and then effectively adjust the spacing between the supporting wheel and the wheel rail, so that the asphalt mixing station can work smoothly, all contact points can be evenly stressed, and there will be no shaking.

After use, asphalt mixing equipment needs to be disassembled, cleaned, and maintained before it can be saved for next use. Not only is the disassembly process of the equipment important, but the previous preparation work also has a greater impact, so it cannot be neglected. Please pay attention to the detailed introduction below for specific content.

Introduction to asphalt mixing plant Asphalt is a product of petroleum distillation.
Asphalt is a dark brown complex mixture of hydrocarbons of different molecular weights and their non-metallic derivatives. It is a kind of high-viscosity organic liquid. It often exists in the form of liquid or semi-solid petroleum. The surface is black and soluble in carbon disulfide and carbon tetrachloride. Asphalt is an organic gelling material that is waterproof, moisture-proof and anti-corrosive.
Asphalt can be mainly divided into three types: coal tar asphalt, petroleum asphalt and natural asphalt: among them, coal tar asphalt is a by-product of coking. Petroleum asphalt is the residue after crude oil distillation. Natural asphalt is stored underground, and some form mineral layers or accumulate on the surface of the earth’s crust. Asphalt is mainly used in industries such as coatings, plastics, rubber, and paving roads.

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 drive unit is one of the important components of the asphalt mixing plant, so whether it can be reliably operated must be highly valued to avoid adverse effects on the entire asphalt mixing plant. To ensure that the drive unit in the asphalt mixing plant is indeed complete and reliable, the following maintenance measures are essential.
The first thing to pay attention to is the universal rotating part of the drive unit of the asphalt mixing plant. This part has always been a fault-prone part. In order to reduce the occurrence of faults, grease should be added on time, and the wear should be checked frequently, and repaired and replaced in time. Users should also prepare the universal shaft assembly to avoid affecting the working process of the entire asphalt mixer.

Modified Bitumen

At present, the assembly and installation technology of large-scale asphalt concrete mixing equipment in high-grade highway construction is gradually improving. In order to improve work efficiency, it is necessary to analyze the pretreatment agent for the selection and matching of large-scale mixing equipment and auxiliary equipment, and clarify the installation and commissioning of asphalt stations. With the continuous change of highway construction methods, it is necessary to adopt production equipment according to the requirements of the development of the times. Intermittent asphalt mixing equipment is a widely used road construction equipment with the characteristics of simple operation and high work efficiency. Relevant staff are required to master the installation, construction and management methods of mixing equipment.

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.
