Application and maintenance of drying drum of asphalt mixing equipment

Asphalt mixing equipment is also divided into fixed and mobile types. There are still big differences between the two to a certain extent. Let’s take a look at the design of mobile asphalt mixing equipment. What advantages can bring to the equipment?

In recent years, asphalt concrete, as a new green building material, is gradually being valued by people because of its excellent performance in saving resources, being environmentally friendly, ensuring the quality of construction projects, and achieving sustainable utilization of resources. The development of asphalt concrete fully embodies my country’s policies to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction, and is also an important measure to promote the development of circular economy.

Due to raw materials or usage, asphalt mixing plants will be subject to a certain degree of wear or other failures during daily use. If they are not controlled or repaired in time, the problem will be further exacerbated. For asphalt mixing plants, what are the ways to prevent wear and failure?
If the asphalt mixing plant is not treated in time after being worn, it may corrode once it is in contact with air, rainwater, etc. for a long time. If the parts of the asphalt mixing plant are severely corroded, the service life and normal operation of the entire equipment will be affected.

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 (composition: asphaltenes and resin) tanks are divided into: intermittent and continuous functions according to the production process: initial batching of aggregates, heating and drying, screening and measurement; heating and insulation of asphalt (composition: asphaltene and resin) , transportation and measurement; transportation and measurement of filler; uniformly mix the measured aggregate, asphalt (composition: asphaltene and resin), and filler into a finished product of a certain temperature.

Asphalt mixing plants are highly professional equipment with complex systems. It is inevitable that some failures will occur during use. So, what are the common hardware failures of asphalt mixing plants? Do you know?
(I) Because its system is relatively complex, when different components have problems, the problems caused may be different. If during the operation, it is found that the material addition of each silo is inaccurate, this problem may be due to the failure of the sensor of the asphalt mixing plant. At this time, the machine should be stopped for inspection and replaced with a new sensor if necessary. It may also be caused by the jamming of the scale bar. At this time, foreign objects should be removed in time.

In fact, asphalt mixing stations are not uncommon in our daily lives. They are mainly a unit of equipment specially designed to mix asphalt. What we really don’t understand is the gas system of the asphalt mixing station. Only correct maintenance And operation can bring out the best production effect. So what are the faults in the gas circuit of asphalt mixing station?
The following three points are the more common gas path failures of asphalt mixing stations:

Asphalt mixing equipment is equipment used to produce asphalt concrete in large quantities. Because this equipment is affected by various factors during the production process, some problems will inevitably occur after a period of use. Sinoroader Group The editor of the asphalt mixing equipment company of China Machinery Co., Ltd. will introduce to you the methods of rescuing damaged parts in asphalt mixing equipment.
Asphalt mixing equipment encounters different problems, and the solutions are also different. For example, one of the common problems of asphalt mixing equipment is that parts are worn out and damaged. The solution that needs to be done at this time is to start from the production of parts. Just start improving.

The asphalt mixing plant is constructed according to a certain process, which can not only ensure the construction quality, but also ensure that the asphalt mixing plant is not damaged. Although the construction details are critical, the key skills of the asphalt mixing plant construction must be mastered.
Before the construction of the asphalt mixing plant, the top surface of the asphalt mixing plant construction range should be removed, and the dry and flat site elevation should be kept to meet the design requirements. If the ground surface is too soft, the foundation should be reinforced to prevent the construction machinery from becoming unstable and to ensure that the pile frame is vertical.

At present, most asphalt mixing plants have different degrees of energy loss in use, and these losses have brought us serious waste. How to reduce energy consumption in these aspects and achieve efficient production?
First of all, we must first summarize which aspects have energy loss, and then we can find reasonable solutions based on these problems. Through research, it is found that there are four problems in the use of asphalt mixing plants and the production of asphalt mixtures. The content and measures are as follows:
The first aspect is the management of the pile. We can reduce the energy consumption of the asphalt mixing plant through 3 specific methods: 1. Appropriately reduce the stacking height of the pile; 2. Build an inclined pile site with a good drainage structure; 3. Build a waterproof canopy.

The renovation of the combustion-supporting system of the asphalt mixing plant and the use of DC frequency conversion CNC machining technology are all renovations of the original system. In addition to the above renovation plans, with the existing equipment and personnel, what other measures can be taken in the application to reduce the operating costs of concrete mixing plants?
At present, China has no mandatory national industry standards for heavy residual oil, and the quality of fuel oil varies greatly. Even from the same dealer, the quality difference between batches is very large, and it contains more residues. Therefore, bridge inspection equipment should be installed on the construction site, and professional personnel should inspect various performance parameters of gasoline and diesel to strictly control quality.
When the burner is working, if the flame of the combustion aid is red and the smoke from the ash removal chimney is black, this is the manifestation of poor atomization of gasoline and diesel and insufficient combustion aid. At this time, the following measures should be taken to deal with it: properly adjust the distance between the nozzle and the vortex plate, generally push it inward to a suitable distance, the purpose is to prevent the atomized oil cone sprayed from the nozzle from spraying into the vortex plate; effectively adjust the ratio of gasoline and diesel to gas, so that the gasoline and diesel increase the mass conversion law slowly, or the gas increase the mass conversion law quickly; promptly remove the carbon deposits and coke around the nozzle to prevent the flame from deflecting; heavy residual oil contains more residues, which can easily cause serious damage to the high-pressure oil pump and increase the working pressure, affecting the actual effect of atomization and the shape of the flame, so the high-pressure oil pump must be repaired or replaced in time; install metal filter devices in front of the first and second high-pressure oil pumps, and clean them frequently to prevent the residues in the gasoline and diesel from blocking the nozzle.
The operators should be trained in professional skills on a regular basis to strengthen their job responsibilities and moral education, so that they can establish their respective job responsibilities, understand the importance of their positions, understand the content of their work, and improve their professional level. Skilled operators can properly control the temperature of the asphalt mixing plant mixture to avoid gasoline and diesel waste.
In order to improve the combustion-supporting effect and effectively reduce the operating costs of asphalt mixing stations, Sinoroader Group kindly reminds that the following issues should be noted when using the burner in the asphalt mixing station: To improve the maintenance of the burner, the burner nozzle should be cleaned of charred materials and carbon deposits on the ignition electrode regularly. The nozzle can be disassembled according to the atomization status; the air-oil ratio of the burner is generally not adjusted, and the fuel pump pressure can be adjusted according to the smoke status and the temperature of the asphalt mixture; the sulfur dioxide generated by the combustion of light fuel oil has a strong corrosion to the bag, so the bag should be maintained regularly and the air pressure changes in the bag should be paid close attention to; water deashing will produce more foam, causing the sand settling tank to flow out, so the sand settling tank should be cleaned in time, and a watering design should be carried out to settle the foam; when the steam pressure decreases or the gear oil pump noise increases, the gear oil pump must be replaced.
When the burner is started, the fuel oil circulation system should be completed through the valve, and then the burner control box should be opened to start the burner. If the electronic ignition of the fuel oil fails, you can change the inlet tee and use the diesel engine for ignition. After the ignition is successful for 2 minutes, you can convert it into fuel oil. In this way, even the light fuel oil of lower quality can ensure combustion.

The quality of the asphalt mixing plant will be a key factor affecting the quality of the project. After reviewing relevant materials related to the production and construction of asphalt concrete, we summarized some cases of failures in asphalt concrete mixing stations during construction and analyzed the reasons.
1. Unstable output and low production efficiency of asphalt mixing plants
(1) Improper proportioning. The mix ratio of asphalt concrete is divided into target mix ratio and production mix ratio. Among them, the target mix ratio controls the cold material transportation ratio of sand and gravel materials, and the production mix ratio is the mixing ratio of various types of sand and stone materials in the finished asphalt concrete materials specified in the design. The production mix ratio is determined by the laboratory, which directly determines the off-site grading standard of the finished asphalt concrete. The target mix ratio is set to further ensure the production mix ratio, and can be adjusted appropriately during production according to the actual situation. When the target mix ratio or the production mix ratio is not appropriate, the stones stored in each measurement of the asphalt mixing station will be disproportionate, with some overflowing and some other materials, unable to be weighed in time, and the mixing cylinder will be idling, resulting in reduced output.

Asphalt mixing station is the standard for mixing asphalt. Having said that, many people still think that this has nothing to do with us. We don’t use asphalt, but do you know that our roads are made of asphalt? When I was a child, I used asphalt to pluck pig hair. The hair on the pig’s head was indeed clean. When using asphalt, it must be burned hot, because if it is cold, it will be very hard and cannot be used. Therefore, if a large amount of asphalt is needed, there must be an asphalt mixer because there is no more convenient equipment than it.
What kind of source material is asphalt that requires special equipment. Asphalt is a black-brown, high-viscosity organic liquid composed of hydrocarbons and non-metallic substances of different molecular weights. The surface is black and soluble in carbon disulfide. At the same time, it is also a waterproof, moisture-proof and anti-corrosion organic gelling material. It can be mainly divided into three types: coal tar asphalt, petroleum asphalt and natural asphalt. Asphalt is mainly used in industries such as coatings, plastics, rubber, and paving roads.

At present, the production efficiency of asphalt mixing plants in my country’s asphalt construction is far lower than the theoretical efficiency at the time of design. The low efficiency of organic waste gas treatment will not only delay the construction process and cause a waste of resources, but also the quality of the construction will not be very good. guarantee. In the construction of asphalt pavement, the main reasons for the low production efficiency of the asphalt plant are insufficient supply of mixture, resulting in loss of continuity of construction, improper equipment parameter settings, excessive overflow and other problems. Effective measures must be taken to deal with these problems, and ultimately improve production efficiency and ensure construction quality.

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.

The mixing speed of asphalt mixing plant equipment is indeed very fast, and the corresponding mixing power must be very high, but the specific amount must be measured in a certain way to determine the scope of use of asphalt mixing equipment. There are many methods to measure the mixing power of asphalt mixing equipment, but the relatively small errors are the motor counter-torque measurement method and the strain measurement method.
When the motor of the asphalt mixing equipment starts running, the electromagnetic moment acting on the motor rotor and the electromagnetic moment acting on the motor stator are equal, but their directions are opposite. Therefore, as long as the torque acting on the stator is measured, the torque on the rotor can be obtained, and the actual mixing torque is obtained after deducting the friction torque on the rotor bearing.
On the premise of knowing the torque and mixing speed, the mixing power of the asphalt mixing equipment can be calculated. This is the so-called motor counter-torque measurement method, which is relatively simple and suitable for smaller mixing systems.

Current highway projects are generally large-investment projects. When carrying out actual project construction, it is very necessary to control the cost of the project. The production cost control and management of asphalt mixing stations in highway projects plays a huge role in controlling the cost of the entire highway project, because the main expenses of highway projects are concentrated on the mixing stations, and almost all the equipment used in highway projects Materials are closely related to the mixing station.

Asphalt mixing plant is also called asphalt mixture mixing equipment, which is mainly used to produce asphalt mixtures of various specifications. It is an important equipment in projects such as road construction, highway maintenance and airport runway construction. The main components of an asphalt mixing plant include cold material supply system, drying drum, screening system, weighing system, agitator, finished product silo and control system.
The workflow of an asphalt mixing plant is generally as follows:

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.

The drying and heating system of the asphalt mixing plant can be regarded as an important part of the whole, so in actual work, it treats the material in a countercurrent heating manner, thereby achieving full dehydration of the cold aggregate, and heating it to a certain temperature, thereby providing the necessary conditions for the normal and continuous operation of the asphalt mixing plant.
During the entire heating process of the asphalt mixing plant, the main purpose is to make the performance of the mixture more in line with the requirements of use, and to make the finished material have good paving performance. Under normal circumstances, the heating temperature of the aggregate is about 160℃-180℃.

1: The site should be located on higher ground and away from residential areas and densely populated areas.
Because part of the equipment of the mixing station is installed below the ground, in order to avoid continuous rainfall. The equipment will suffer disaster, and the changing aggregate moisture content will affect the concrete quality. Quality accidents are prone to occur. Therefore, during site construction, attention should be paid to the construction of drainage pipelines and sand and gravel quarries. With the rapid development of cities. With the continuous expansion of urban scale, environmental protection requirements will become more and more stringent. Urban roads prohibit gravel vehicles from passing, so concrete mixing plants should be built far away from urban areas.

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.
In order to prevent the asphalt mixer from moving during work, the equipment should be placed in a flat position as much as possible, and at the same time, use square wood to pad the front and rear axles so that the tires are elevated. At the same time, the asphalt mixer must be provided with secondary leakage protection, and it can only be started after the inspection, trial operation and other aspects are qualified.

1.During the operation of asphalt mixing station equipment, in addition to ensuring that the asphalt mixing station 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, so as 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 that determines fuel consumption. Additional material sheds should be added.
3. Before operation, all working parts and devices of the asphalt mixing station equipment should be fully checked to see if they are intact and normal. If there is a problem, it must be properly handled before operation, and it is forbidden to operate with illness.

Asphalt mixing plant, also known as asphalt concrete mixing plant, is a complete set of equipment for batch production of asphalt concrete. Its efficient and stable operation is of great significance to ensure the quality of the project. It is mainly used in the construction of highways, grade roads, municipal roads, airports, ports and other projects. According to the mixing method, asphalt mixing plant can be divided into forced intermittent type and continuous production type; according to the transportation method, it can be divided into fixed type, semi-fixed type and mobile type.
The working principle of asphalt mixing plant mainly includes steps such as aggregate processing, asphalt processing and mixture mixing. Specifically, aggregates (such as gravel, crushed stone, etc.) are sent to aggregate bins through conveyors or bucket elevators, and then measured by aggregate metering devices, and a certain amount of aggregates are sent to sub-bins. Asphalt is stored in asphalt bins or oil storage tanks, and is measured by asphalt metering devices, and a certain amount of asphalt is sent to asphalt sub-bins. Finally, according to the ratio requirements, different aggregates are taken out from their respective sub-bins and sent to the mixture mixer through conveyors or bucket elevators for mixing.

Asphalt mixing plant is a relatively important complete set of equipment in people’s lives. There are many components of this equipment, such as grading machine, vibrating screen, belt feeder, powder conveyor, elevator and other parts. Plug valve is one of them, so what is the specific role of plug valve in asphalt mixing plant? This article will give a brief introduction.
The plug valve is first of all a closure or plunger-shaped rotary valve. Generally, it is necessary to rotate 90 degrees to make the channel opening on the valve plug the same as that on the valve body, or to split it to play the role of opening or closing. The shape of the plug valve in the asphalt mixing plant is generally cylindrical or conical.

Asphalt mixing plant is a complete set of equipment composed of many systems. It is widely used in the current society. Its components include batching system, drying system, combustion system, hot material lifting, weighing and mixing system and control system.
In the process of asphalt mixing, heating is an indispensable link, because there must be a system for heating in the asphalt mixing station, but the system generally fails for various reasons. So how should the heating system of the asphalt mixing station be improved? This article will briefly explain this issue.
Generally speaking, when the asphalt mixing station is running under low temperature conditions, the asphalt circulation pump and spray pump cannot operate normally, which will cause the asphalt in the asphalt scale to solidify, and then the asphalt mixing station cannot be produced. Therefore, the asphalt mixing station needs a heating system during operation.

[1]. Composition of intermittent asphalt mixing plant
The intermittent asphalt mixing plant mainly consists of cold material silo, cold material distribution system, cold material conveying system, combustion and drying system, ventilation and dust removal system, hot material elevator, vibrating screen, hot material silo, powder conveying system and asphalt conveying system. System, metering system, mixing cylinder, control system, finished material transportation and storage system, asphalt heating and insulation system, etc.
2. Discussing the phenomenon of warehouse cascading in asphalt concrete mixing plants
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.

Asphalt mixing plants bring a lot of convenience. You should understand what asphalt is. Asphalt is a very viscous liquid with a black surface that dissolves carbon disulfide. They generally exist as asphalt and smoke tar. Asphalt appeared early in social life.

Road construction machinery is a large range, so let’s talk about one of it, which is the asphalt mixing plant. It is mainly used to produce asphalt, so it is very important among road construction machinery and equipment. An important part, if the quality of the finished product is not good, it will greatly affect the quality of the road. Therefore, below, the editor will use the form of question and answer to guide you to continue learning.
