Modified asphalt equipment has been widely used and is said to offer exceptional performance. So, in what ways does this superior performance manifest itself? Below, we'll explain how modified asphalt equipment demonstrates its superior performance.
Modified asphalt equipment refers to an asphalt mixture that has been modified by adding modifiers such as rubber, resin, high-molecular polymers, or finely ground rubber powder, or by subjecting the asphalt to a mild oxidation process, thereby enhancing its properties. Pavements paved with this asphalt possess excellent durability and abrasion resistance, remaining resistant to softening at high temperatures and cracking at low temperatures.

The superior performance of modified asphalt equipment stems from the modifiers it adds. These modifiers, under the influence of temperature and kinetic energy, not only fuse with each other but also react with the asphalt, significantly improving the mechanical properties of the asphalt, much like adding steel to concrete. To prevent the segregation that can occur with conventional modified asphalt, the asphalt modification process is carried out in a specialized mobile equipment. A liquid mixture consisting of asphalt and modifier is passed through a grooved colloid mill. Under the high-speed rotation of the mill, the modifier molecules are broken down, forming new structures. These molecules are then ejected onto the mill walls and then rebounded, evenly mixing into the asphalt. This repetitive cycle not only homogenizes the asphalt and modifier but also interconnects the modifier's molecular chains, creating a network-like distribution, enhancing the mixture's strength and fatigue resistance. When a wheel passes over the modified asphalt, the asphalt surface deforms slightly. However, after the wheel passes, the modified asphalt's strong bond to the aggregate and excellent elastic recovery allow the compressed areas to quickly return to their original flattened shape.
