The final construction quality of an asphalt mixing plant is crucial during its operation. Therefore, it is essential to strive to improve the quality level of the mixture, and the temperature of the mixture is one of the standards for quality certification. In other words, if the mixture is of poor quality, it will become waste and fail to meet the requirements for use.
Therefore, the normal production of an asphalt mixing plant must consider effectively controlling the temperature of the mixture. The quality of gasoline and diesel directly affects the temperature of the mixture. For example, if the gasoline and diesel are of poor quality, have low calorific value, and insufficient ignition, it will lead to unstable heating, low temperature, and a large amount of residue after ignition, damaging the quality of the mixture. If the viscosity is high, it will also lead to difficulty in starting and difficulty in temperature control.

In addition to the above two factors, the moisture content of the raw materials is also a major factor that cannot be ignored. If the moisture content of the raw materials is high, it will be difficult to control the temperature during the production process of the asphalt mixing plant. In addition, the process of the ignition system, the working pressure of the gasoline and diesel fuel pump, and the size of the ignition nose angle will all directly affect the temperature of the mixture. If the ignition system is damaged, leaks, or blocked, the operating characteristics of the system will be reduced.
If the oil supply is unstable, it will directly affect the control level of the ambient temperature. Although some mixing equipment now has automatic temperature control systems, there is still a long process between temperature monitoring and temperature adjustment via flame adjustment, resulting in a lag effect that still poses a certain impact on the production process of asphalt mixing plants.
Therefore, throughout the entire production process of an asphalt mixing plant, we must predict the outcome in advance and pay close attention to the production status of the entire system to effectively control the temperature, thereby reducing or eliminating waste.
