Emulsified asphalt (ingredients: asphaltene and resin) heating tank is a new type of equipment for heating emulsified asphalt. Its appearance replaces the traditional thermal oil heating equipment, which brings great convenience to our users and improves work efficiency. Then let’s take a detailed look at how it is better than the traditional thermal oil heating equipment.
Emulsified asphalt (ingredients: asphaltene and resin) heating tank is another new type of emulsified asphalt heating storage equipment developed by technically separating the characteristics of traditional thermal oil heating emulsified asphalt tanks and internal heat part (part) rapid emulsified asphalt heating tanks. The automatic circulation program of the asphalt heating equipment enables the asphalt to automatically enter the heater, dust collector, induced draft fan, asphalt pump, asphalt temperature display, water level display, and steam generator as required.
It consists of pipeline and asphalt pump preheating system, pressure relief system steam combustion system, tank cleaning system, oil unloading tank installation, etc. All are installed on the tank body (inside) to form a compact integrated structure. It fully compensates for the shortcomings of traditional thermal oil heating equipment, such as long heating time and high energy consumption.

Synchronized gravel sealing is a process technology for treating cracks in asphalt pavement, and it is currently a road construction and pavement maintenance technology with low energy consumption and high cost performance. Do you know what its six technical features are? If you don’t know, just follow the editor of Sinoroader and take a look.

Microsurfacing is a thin layer of overlay placed on old asphalt pavement and is a type of preventive maintenance process. The purpose of microsurfacing is road maintenance. After micro-surface paving, it can repair cracks in the original road surface, waterproof and beautify the road surface.
The construction method of micro surfacing is: using a micro surfacing paver to evenly spread modified emulsified asphalt, a certain grade of mineral materials, water and other additives on the road surface in a certain proportion.

There are many types of bitumen emulsifiers, and there are many classification methods. For specific classifications, please refer to previous articles. The raw materials required for the production of emulsion bitumen are: bitumen, water and bitumen emulsifier. High-standard emulsion bitumen requires adding additives and adjusting acid. According to whether acid adjustment is needed in the emulsion bitumen production process, it can be divided into two categories: emulsion bitumen that requires acid adjustment and emulsion bitumen that does not require acid adjustment.

Preparation items for micro-surfacing slurry sealing: materials, construction machinery (micro-surfacing paver) and other auxiliary equipment.
The micro-surface slurry seal requires emulsified asphalt and stone that meet the standards. The metering system of the micro-surfacing paver needs to be calibrated before construction. The production of emulsified asphalt requires asphalt heating tanks, emulsified asphalt production equipment (capable of producing asphalt content greater than or equal to 60%), and emulsified asphalt finished product tanks. In terms of stone, mineral screening machines, loaders, forklifts, etc. are needed to screen out oversized stones.
The tests required include emulsification test, screening test, mixing test and the equipment and technical personnel required to do these tests.

Except for the first application, for enterprises whose block asphalt melting equipment license has expired and continue to engage in the production and operation of block asphalt melting equipment, they should apply for the relevant matters of postponement and renewal 45 working days before the expiration of the license.
The block asphalt melting equipment should first prepare the block asphalt melting equipment application materials, and then submit an application for postponement and renewal to the municipal environmental protection bureau. According to the production and operation of the block asphalt melting equipment and environmental protection work of the applicant enterprise, the municipal environmental protection bureau of the district where the block asphalt melting equipment is located will provide a review opinion in the form of a public document.
For the block asphalt melting equipment, the Provincial Environmental Protection Department will review the application materials, and appoint the Provincial Block Asphalt Melting Equipment Management Office to organize relevant doctors to conduct technical evaluation and on-site technical evaluation, and produce expert technical evaluation opinions and on-site inspection reports. Then report the materials of the block asphalt melting equipment to the meeting of directors for scientific research and make a review decision.

To ensure good operation of asphalt melting equipment and extend its service life, regular maintenance and repairs are required. The following are specific maintenance and repair steps:
First, various parts of the equipment, including heating elements, pipes, valves, etc., need to be inspected regularly to make sure they are not worn or damaged. If any problems are found, they should be repaired or replaced immediately.

Colored asphalt pavement is a kind of special pavement material that mixes colored particles into asphalt and then lays on the pavement

As we all know, emulsified bitumen is a single-component black viscous liquid that can combine the roadbed and the pavement to improve the performance and service life of the road. So what problems should be paid attention to when using emulsified bitumen? Let’s follow the editor of Sinoroader Group, an emulsified bitumen manufacturer, to learn about it.

As a manufacturer with many years of experience in emulsified bitumen construction, Sinoroader Group believes that everyone needs to pay attention to the following 2 points when using it:

When using asphalt melting equipment, you need to pay attention to the following points:
1. The power must be cut off during installation and operation to ensure safety.
2. Before starting operation, check whether all components are normal and have no fault prompts. In particular, the inspection of key parts such as the heater part and the conveyor belt device is particularly important.

For the relevant knowledge of modified asphalt equipment, we have more or less introduced it in the above articles. I believe that most users also have some simple understanding of it. Today we also mastered:
In order to meet the different requirements of customers, the configuration and process of the equipment produced by the manufacturers of modified asphalt equipment are diversified. There are fixed production types, mobile types, and imported main machines, but the imported main machines are expensive, so most customers configure domestic pipeline emulsifiers or colloid mills. In terms of the degree of automation, there are fully automatic production and semi-automatic production. Regardless of the form of production, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. What kind of process and configuration is used depends on the annual production volume and the customer’s requirements for equipment, product performance requirements and other factors. I hope that these introductions can help users choose to a certain extent.

The bitumen (composition: asphaltene and resin) drum melting machine adopts a self-heating integrated structure, which integrates the thermal oil boiler used in the old asphalt drum melting machine and the barrel removal equipment itself, reducing the volume of the entire equipment and significantly It reduces equipment investment (actual significance: it is the accumulation of future profits), saves the space occupied by the equipment and the logistics cost of switching sites. The combustion chamber is placed inside the equipment itself, which greatly reduces thermal damage and improves heat utilization.

Modified bitumen equipment uses modified bitumen colloid mill. Its blade has high hardness, high linear speed of the moving disk, and the gap can be adjusted to 0.15mm. It is suitable for processing various polymer-modified bitumens, such as SBS, PE, EVA, etc.

Classification analysis of emulsion bitumen equipment is used to heat-melt bitumen. According to the actual cutting effect of mechanical equipment, it is loosened into a solution with demulsifier in the form of tiny droplets to form oil-in-water asphalt. Industrial equipment for lotions. Emulsion bitumen equipment can be divided into three types: portable, transportable and mobile according to the equipment, layout and maneuverability of the equipment.

With the development of science and technology, the emergence of emulsified asphalt tanks has brought great convenience to our work, and is widely used in every site. So what issues need to be paid attention to when filling emulsified asphalt tanks? Below, the editor will introduce to you the relevant knowledge structure diagram, hoping to be of some help to you.

Asphalt emulsifier is an emulsifier that belongs to the category of surfactants and is a raw material for the production of emulsified asphalt.
Emulsifiers are divided into: synthetic emulsifiers, natural emulsifiers, inorganic powder emulsifiers, etc. Currently, synthetic emulsifiers are widely used. Asphalt emulsifier is a type of chemical organically synthesized surfactant.

The slurry seal truck is one of the main maintenance methods of highways. The slurry seal is made of emulsified asphalt as the binding material, well-graded mineral materials, fillers, water and additives, etc., mixed in a certain proportion. The slurry mixture is evenly spread on the old road surface to be treated with a sealing truck, and is firmly combined with the original road surface to form a new thin layer of asphalt mixture. So what preparations need to be done before construction? Let’s find out below.

There is a wide variety of asphalt melting equipment on the market, including different brands and models. The prices of these devices vary widely, depending mainly on factors such as their features, performance, and specifications.
Asphalt melter equipment produced by some large brands such as Sinoroader usually has higher quality and reliability, so the price is relatively higher. However, they also offer longer service life and better maintenance support.

The viscosity of the drum bitumen decanter equipment decreases as the temperature increases during the production process. Its output viscosity is about twice as high as every 12°C increase. During production, the base bitumen decanter equipment must first be heated to a liquid state and then emulsified. In order to better integrate the emulsification ability of colloid milling, the viscosity of base bitumen decanter is generally controlled to be about 200 cst. The lower the temperature, the higher the viscosity, which increases the pressure on the bitumen decanter pump and colloid milling, making emulsification impossible: However, on the other hand, in order to prevent the bitumen decanter equipment from weaning when the moisture of the finished product evaporates, it is impossible to heat the base asphalt barrel removal temperature too high, and generally use a colloid grinding inlet and outlet system. The finished product temperature should be below 85°C.

Based on the characteristics of the high-speed hot mixed bitumen melting equipment, the direct heating bitumen melter equipment tank is a researched, environmentally friendly and energy-saving thermal mixed bitumen melting equipment, which can directly coordinate the temperature of the direct heating bitumen melter heating tank and protect the direct heating asphalt melter equipment. Barrel heating tank. The temperature of hot mixed asphalt barrels achieves the appropriate storage temperature.
When the water level in the drum is lower than the temperature of the thermometer, please close the suction valve before the drum pump is shut down to prevent the drum from flowing back in the heater. After the motor has been running for 2 days, the three-way valve opens quickly.

Asphalt melting equipment is one of the indispensable equipment in modern road construction. Its main function is to heat a large amount of cold hard asphalt to a suitable working temperature at the construction site. Advanced asphalt melting equipments can greatly improve construction efficiency, reduce human resources and time costs, and ensure pavement quality at the same time.
First of all, reliable asphalt melter equipment can shorten heating time and work efficiency and avoid wasting energy. Secondly, the equipment is easy to operate and can reduce the incidence of on-site safety accidents. In addition, this equipment has an automatic control and monitoring system that can adjust the working status and parameters at any time to meet different construction needs and environmental conditions.

Improve the understanding of the importance of preventive maintenance
We should further improve the understanding of the importance of preventive maintenance and raise preventive maintenance to the level of highway asset protection and road protection. At present, leaders at all levels and maintenance departments do not fully understand the significance of preventive maintenance of asphalt pavement. We should deepen our understanding of the important role of preventive maintenance and improve the strategic awareness, initiative and creativity of preventive maintenance. At the same time, the maintenance department should strengthen communication and exchanges with transportation authorities and financial management departments at all levels, so that departments at all levels understand the importance and necessity of preventive maintenance and create conditions for the implementation of preventive maintenance and funding sources. At the same time, it is very necessary to add preventive maintenance to the classification of maintenance projects, which will help the management of leaders at all levels and the implementation of preventive maintenance.
Improve the decision-making and planning of preventive maintenance
According to the decision-making and planning process, reasonably arrange the preventive maintenance of asphalt concrete pavement structure to ensure the safe and stable operation of highway projects throughout the life cycle, and reduce production costs while providing high-quality traffic services. Therefore, the key to preventive maintenance of asphalt concrete pavement structure lies in establishing a scientific decision-making and planning mechanism. The Ministry of Transport proposed in the “13th Five-Year Plan for Highway Maintenance Management Development” that the average annual mileage of preventive maintenance for expressways should not be less than 8%, and that for ordinary national and provincial roads should not be less than 5%. In the actual application process, local governments should also actively summarize experience and propose different preventive maintenance ratios based on the specific conditions of different regions.

Asphalt spreader is used to spread the penetration oil, waterproof layer and bonding layer of the bottom layer of asphalt pavement of high-grade highway. It can also be used for the construction of county and township highway oil roads with layered paving technology. It consists of a car chassis, an asphalt tank, an asphalt pumping and spraying system, a thermal oil heating system, a hydraulic system, a combustion system, a control system, a pneumatic system, and an operating platform.
Knowing how to properly operate and maintain the asphalt spreader can not only extend the service life of the equipment, but also enable the construction project to proceed smoothly. So what problems should the asphalt spreader pay attention to when working? The technicians of Gaoyuan Road Construction Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. give you tips:
1). Before use, please check whether the position of each valve is accurate and make preparations before work. After starting the motor of the asphalt spreader, check the four thermal oil valves and the pressure gauge. After everything is normal, start the engine and the power take-off starts to work. Test the asphalt pump and circulate for 5 minutes. If the pump head shell is hot, slowly close the thermal oil pump valve. If the heating is insufficient, the pump will not turn or make noise. In this case, the valve needs to be opened to continue heating the asphalt pump until it can operate normally. During the working process, the asphalt liquid must be kept at a working temperature of 160~180℃, and it cannot be filled too full (pay attention to the liquid level pointer during the injection of asphalt liquid, and check the tank mouth at any time). After the asphalt liquid is injected, the filling port must be closed tightly to prevent the asphalt liquid from overflowing during transportation.
2). During use, asphalt may not be pumped in. At this time, it is necessary to check whether the interface of the asphalt suction pipe is leaking. When the asphalt pump and pipeline are blocked by solidified asphalt, a blowtorch can be used for baking, and the pump must not be forced to turn. When baking, care should be taken to avoid directly baking the ball valve and rubber parts.
3). When spraying asphalt, the car should be driven at a low speed. Do not step on the accelerator hard, otherwise it may cause damage to the clutch, asphalt pump and other components. If 6m wide asphalt is spread, pay attention to obstacles on both sides at any time to prevent collision with the spreading pipe. At the same time, the asphalt should be kept in a large circulation state until the spreading work is completed. After the work is completed every day, if there is any remaining asphalt, it must be returned to the asphalt pool, otherwise it will solidify in the tank and cannot work next time.
4). In addition, the emulsifier must also pay attention to daily maintenance:
1. The emulsifier and delivery pump and other motors, agitators, and valves should be maintained daily.
2. The emulsifier should be cleaned after work every day.
3. The speed regulating pump used to control the flow should be regularly tested for accuracy, and adjusted and maintained in time. The asphalt emulsifier should regularly check the matching clearance between its stator and rotor. When the minimum clearance specified by the machine cannot be reached, the stator and rotor should be replaced.
4. If the equipment is out of use for a long time, the liquid in the tank and pipeline should be emptied (the emulsifier aqueous solution should not be stored for a long time), the hole covers should be tightly closed, kept clean, and the running parts should be filled with lubricating oil. When it is used for the first time or when it is used again after a long period of inactivity, the rust in the tank should be removed, and the water filter should be cleaned regularly.
5. Regularly check whether the terminal in the electric control cabinet is loose, whether the wires are worn during shipment, and remove dust to avoid damage to the machine parts. The frequency converter is a precision instrument. Please refer to the instruction manual for specific use and maintenance.
6. There is a heat transfer oil coil in the emulsifier water solution heating stirring tank. When injecting cold water into the water tank, the heat transfer oil switch should be turned off first, and then the switch should be turned on to heat after adding the required amount of water. Pouring cold water directly into the high-temperature heat transfer oil pipeline can easily cause the weld to crack.

Except for the first application, for enterprises whose block asphalt melting equipment license has expired and continue to engage in the production and operation of block asphalt melting equipment, they should apply for the relevant matters of postponement and renewal 45 working days before the expiration of the license.
The block asphalt melting equipment should first prepare the block asphalt melting equipment application materials, and then submit an application for postponement and renewal to the municipal environmental protection bureau. According to the production and operation of the block asphalt melting equipment and environmental protection work of the applicant enterprise, the municipal environmental protection bureau of the district where the block asphalt melting equipment is located will provide a review opinion in the form of a public document.

In addition to being used according to regulations, modified bitumen equipment should also be maintained regularly in order to effectively extend the service life of modified bitumen equipment. The delivery pump of modified bitumen equipment, as well as its motor and reducer, need to be maintained in accordance with the specifications of the instructions. If the modified bitumen equipment is parked for a long time, the liquid in the tank and pipeline needs to be drained, and each moving component also needs to be filled with grease. The dust in the control box of the modified bitumen equipment needs to be cleaned once every six months. A dust blower can be used to remove dust to prevent dust from entering the machine and damaging parts. The micro powder machine needs to add unsalted butter once for every 100 tons of emulsified bitumen produced.

I believe everyone is familiar with the relevant knowledge about modified bitumen equipment. As users continue to increase its application, we have also talked about it a lot in the above articles and learned that it is mainly engaged in the production of modified bitumen. Production, in order to further enhance users’ understanding of it, professionals summarize its relevant characteristics as follows:

How to reduce energy consumption of emulsified asphalt machinery is a concern of many users and many manufacturers. Therefore, today, Sinosun Company, as a manufacturer of emulsified asphalt equipment, would like to take this opportunity to share with you the method of reducing energy consumption of emulsified asphalt machinery.
Since emulsified asphalt appears as a finished product in emulsified asphalt machinery, and the outlet temperature of ordinary emulsified asphalt is about 85℃, and the outlet temperature of emulsified modified asphalt is above 95℃, there is a lot of latent heat in emulsified asphalt, but the emulsified asphalt equipment does not make good use of them, but directly enters the finished product tank, allowing heat to be lost at will, resulting in energy waste.

Regarding the basic knowledge of modified bitumen plant, I believe that many consumers have already had a basic understanding of it. Because of the continuous development of various fields today, various facilities including modified bitumen plants have been well developed and applied, and modified bitumen plant has gradually been recognized by customers.
The direct quick heating portable equipment in the modified bitumen equipment not only has a faster heating speed, saves fuel, and is pollution-free, but also convenient and easy to operate. The automatic heating system completely eliminates the trouble of baking or cleaning bitumen and pipelines.
