What is the difference between an asphalt mixing plant and an asphalt mixing plant?

Many people think that since both asphalt mixing plants and asphalt mixing plants are equipment for producing asphalt, there should be no difference between them, even if there is, it is only in appearance and volume. However, asphalt mixing plants and asphalt mixing plants are different in even their basic structure and function.
First, let me introduce the basic structure of an asphalt mixing plant, which includes five major components: material supply system, metering system, mixing system, and electrical control system. In comparison, the structure of an asphalt mixing plant is simpler, without so many components, so its operation and maintenance will be simpler.

Many people think that since both asphalt mixing plants and asphalt mixing plants are equipment for producing asphalt, there should be no difference between them, even if there is, it is only in appearance and volume. However, asphalt mixing plants and asphalt mixing plants are different in even their basic structure and function.
First, let me introduce the basic structure of an asphalt mixing plant, which includes five major components: material supply system, metering system, mixing system, and electrical control system. In comparison, the structure of an asphalt mixing plant is simpler, without so many components, so its operation and maintenance will be simpler.
Moreover, in an asphalt mixing plant, the aggregate silo is located above the equipment, and the aggregate enters the mixer directly after metering; while in an asphalt mixing plant, it is just the opposite, with the aggregate silo at the bottom, and the aggregate needs to be conveyed by an inclined belt after metering before entering the mixer. It is precisely because the aggregate silo in the asphalt mixing plant is at the top, so the steel structure will be larger, and the inclined belt will be relatively longer, but its production efficiency will also be higher. In actual operation, the energy consumption and failure rate will increase due to the frequent start-up of the inclined belt of the asphalt mixing plant; while the energy consumption and failure rate of the asphalt mixing plant are relatively low. In addition, since the production capacity of the mixing plant is small and the structure is easy to disassemble and assemble, it can be formed into a container transfer location, which is suitable for construction sites.
The asphalt mixing plant belongs to the building structure, with a large volume and high productivity. It can only be used as a fixed mixing device, which is suitable for large-scale water conservancy projects or large-volume asphalt supply. When choosing, users should choose the appropriate equipment based on the number of aggregate lifting times, production efficiency and other aspects.

    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.

    In highway construction, asphalt mixing station plays a vital role. As a kind of equipment integrating intelligence, high efficiency and environmental protection, asphalt mixing station provides strong support for improving the quality of highway construction. This article will introduce the relevant knowledge of asphalt mixing station in detail to help readers understand this key equipment.
    Asphalt mixing station is a kind of equipment specially used for producing asphalt concrete, which is widely used in highway, municipal road, bridge and other engineering construction. Asphalt concrete is a kind of building material mixed with asphalt, gravel, sand and other materials. It has the characteristics of strong durability and good compressive resistance. It is an ideal material for highway construction.
    2. Features
    Intelligence: Asphalt mixing station is equipped with advanced control system and sensor, which can realize automatic production, reduce manpower input and improve production efficiency.
    Environmental protection: Asphalt mixing station adopts closed design to reduce dust pollution, and is equipped with noise reduction facilities to reduce noise pollution.
    Efficiency: Asphalt mixing station has high production capacity and can produce a large amount of asphalt concrete in a short time to meet the needs of engineering construction.
    3. Function
    Provide asphalt concrete: The main function of asphalt mixing station is to produce asphalt concrete and provide necessary building materials for highway construction.
    Improve highway quality: By using asphalt concrete, the smoothness, compressive strength and durability of the highway can be improved, thereby improving the quality of the highway.

    Emulsified asphalt equipment plays an important role in road construction, and its production quality will directly affect the quality of facilities such as roads. In order to operate it better, we need to pay special attention to the following four points when applying emulsified asphalt equipment:
    1. Before spraying, the emulsified asphalt equipment must check whether the position of each valve is correct. The hot asphalt added to the emulsified asphalt equipment must reach an operating temperature of 160~180℃. For long-distance transportation or long working time, a heating device can be used for insulation, but it cannot be used as an oil melting furnace.
    2. When the asphalt in the emulsified asphalt equipment is heated by a burner, the asphalt height must exceed the upper plane of the combustion chamber, otherwise the combustion chamber will be burned.
    3. The emulsified asphalt equipment cannot be filled too full, and the fuel filler cap must be closed tightly to prevent asphalt from overflowing during transportation.
    4. This vehicle has two front and rear control consoles. When using the front control console, the switch must be turned to the front control. At this time, the rear control console can only control the lifting and lowering of the nozzle.
    I believe that through the above description, everyone will be more comfortable when using emulsified asphalt equipment in the future. As for the relevant operating matters of the equipment, I will introduce them to you here today. If you want to know more information, please pay attention to the next explanation.
