Asphalt mixing plant 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 to solve the belt deviation problem at the operation site of the asphalt mixing plant equipment.
1. Belt deviation condition
The belt of the conveyor belt conveyor is a ring-shaped closed structure. During normal operation, the conveyor belt runs in a circular turnover, and the center lines of the upward and downward belts are parallel to each other or in the same plane. The operation is stable without jumping, and the deviation along the width of the belt does not exceed 5% of the width of the belt; the tensile stress of the belt along its width is equal. During the operation of the conveyor belt conveyor, when the deviation of the belt exceeds 5% of its width, it is called belt deviation. At this time, the center lines of the upward and downward belts are not parallel or in the same plane, and the tensile stress of the belt along its width direction changes, and the tensile stress of the belt on the deviation side increases.
2. Reasons for deviation
When the conveyor belt is running, the belt contacts the roller. The interaction force between the belt and the roller is related to the contact degree and friction coefficient of the belt and the roller in the direction of the belt width. If the contact degree of the belt and the roller at each point along the belt width direction is different, then the interaction force at each point is also not equal. When the force on the roller is applied, the roller will be subjected to the action of the torque M, causing the roller to rotate clockwise along the center line of the belt. However, because the roller is fixed on the frame of the belt conveyor, this kind of movement is not allowed, so the belt will move to the left to balance the movement trend of the roller, so that the belt will deviate. There are many factors that cause the belt to deviate, and the main reasons are:
① The installation position of the cold aggregate grading machine hopper or the inclined belt machine hopper is incorrect, resulting in the belt being overloaded.
② The manufacturing and installation quality of the conveyor belt frame and rollers is not high, resulting in unequal forces between the belt and the rollers along the width of the belt.
③ The bonding quality of the conveyor belt is not high, resulting in uneven joints and a bell-mouth phenomenon.
④ The belt itself has poor performance and poor troughing, resulting in overload.
⑤ The belt is partially damaged. The above factors will cause the tension of the belt along the width direction to change, and eventually the belt will move to the side with greater tension, causing the belt to deviate.

    Asphalt mixing stations, also known as asphalt concrete mixing stations, can produce asphalt mixtures, modified asphalt mixtures, and colored asphalt mixtures, which fully meet the needs of building highways, grade roads, municipal roads, airports, ports, etc. Changmeng Electric Power introduces the safety operating procedures of asphalt mixing plants below:
    1. During the operation of the mixing equipment, in addition to ensuring that the equipment is in good condition, it should also be equipped with a mineral moisture content detector and a finished material tester, and the relevant data should be frequently tested for the operator to adjust the operation in time to keep the equipment in good condition.
    2. In addition to affecting production capacity, the moisture content of mineral materials is also the main factor determining fuel consumption. Additional material sheds should be added.
    3. Before operation, all working parts and devices of the mixing equipment should be fully checked to see if they are intact and normal. If there are any problems, they must be properly handled before operation, and it is forbidden to operate with illness.
    4. The operation must be carried out strictly in accordance with the procedures and precautions specified in the instruction manual. After normal ignition, the dust collector should be monitored to ensure that the drying drum burns under negative pressure; after production starts, the hot material elevator and agitator should be monitored to see if they are working normally to coordinate the operation of other parts.

    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.

    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. 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.
