Since my country currently mainly uses forced intermittent asphalt mixing equipment, the following content is mainly based on Sany Heavy Industry’s LB series asphalt mixing equipment as a representative. 1. Mechanical system process flow
The main process characteristics of the intermittent asphalt mixture mixing equipment are: various ingredients are measured in batches, and are put into the mixer in a pre-set order for forced mixing. After the mixed finished materials are discharged, the next cycle is carried out to form A cycle of work that starts over and over again. The so-called intermittent type refers to the mode in which the dresser measures and stirs production in batches.
Use a loader to shovel sand and gravel materials of different specifications into the corresponding cold silos; after volume measurement of the belt feeder controlled by the frequency converter (the frequency converter parameters are preset according to the grading type, output and mix ratio), Material belt conveyor and feeding belt conveyor transport it to the drying drum.
The drying drum uses countercurrent heating to dry and heat the sand and gravel to a certain temperature (the control system automatically adjusts the flame size of the burner). Due to the rotation of the drum, the sand and gravel are repeatedly lifted and dropped by the blades in the drum, forming a material curtain. , which enhances the heat exchange effect, and with the help of the inclination of the drum, the sand and gravel materials continue to move forward while being heated; after coming out of the drum outlet, together with the coarse powder collected by the gravity dust collector, they are lifted up and unloaded by the hot aggregate elevator. into the hot aggregate screening machine.
The high-temperature dusty flue gas discharged from the drying drum first enters the gravity dust collector for preliminary purification through the first-level flue. The collected powder with a particle size of 0.075mm or more is sent to the entrance of the hot aggregate elevator by a screw conveyor; The dust and flue gas enter the bag dust collector, and the filtered flue gas is directly discharged into the atmosphere by the induced draft fan. The dust recovered from the bag dust collector is sent to the recycled powder supply system by a screw conveyor for storage.
The hot aggregate is screened into several specifications through a screening machine, and then flows into corresponding hot material storage silos for storage. According to the set ratio, aggregates of different specifications are put into the stone measurement bin in batches in order of small and then large for cumulative measurement; at the same time, the hot asphalt sent from the asphalt supply system and the powder sent from the powder supply system are separately Put it into the respective measuring device for measurement according to the set ratio. After weighing is completed, put it into the mixing pot according to the preset order for forced stirring. The mixed finished product materials are unloaded into the finished product lifting trolley, and then lifted by the winch and unloaded into the finished product silo for storage. You can also choose to unload them directly into the material transport dump truck.
The control system relies on the signals detected by each sensor to monitor important parameters such as material ratio, asphalt content, and mix temperature in real time to ensure that the quality of the mix produced can meet the user’s requirements. Throughout the process, the electronic control system is also equipped with interlocking protection devices to protect the equipment from unexpected mechanical accidents.
It should be noted that the volume measurement of cold aggregate passing through the belt feeder is pre-measurement, and the measurement of screened hot aggregate, powder and hot asphalt is measurement. Because of the secondary measurement, it can ensure the gradation of the mixture and the proportion of aggregate, powder and asphalt with relatively high precision. The current static metering accuracy for aggregates and powders does not exceed ±0.5%, and the static metering accuracy for asphalt does not exceed ±0.25%. Since it is intermittent mixing, it is also very convenient to change the mixture ratio, and the formula can be changed or replaced without stopping the machine.

    The advantages of Sinoroader bitumen decanter equipment over similar domestic equipment are reflected in the following points:
    1. The equipment produces 8-10t/hour, with an automatic telescopic sealed container structure. It uses an electric hoist to lift the asphalt barrel at the inlet guide tube. Start to control the hydraulic cart forward button, which will promote the barrel push (push and slide into the barrel). It is a 1300mm hydraulic cylinder with a 7.5-ton top thrust. The device has a beautiful appearance, reasonable layout, compactness, stable performance, and is suitable for production under various industrial and mining conditions.
    2. Fast barrel removal: According to the principle of layered heating, it adopts four-layer thermal oil heating technology, a single inlet and outlet, and high thermal efficiency of heating; at the same time, it uses the waste heat of combustion gas for two heatings and efficient use of energy; the barrel body uses high-quality rock wool insulation material.
    3. Good environmental protection: closed structure, no pollution.
    4. No barrel hanging: The upper part of the asphalt barrel is hot, and each is directly affected by the thermal oil heating pipe. The barrel wall directly receives the heat dissipation of the heating coil, and the barrel is clean and fast, which will not cause waste of asphalt barrel hanging.

    We need to prepare a lot of work when using modified asphalt equipment. What kind of work do we need to prepare? Next, let me briefly introduce the relevant knowledge points.
    1. Heat transfer oil heats and insulates the modified asphalt equipment and nozzle. After spraying, the asphalt pump and nozzle do not need to be cleaned with diesel. Use high-pressure air to press the asphalt in the pipeline and spray pipe back to the tank, and then blow the nozzle; use heat transfer oil to keep warm, so that the pipeline and nozzle are smooth and unobstructed. 2. Various asphalts can be spread: high-viscosity asphalt, hot asphalt, emulsified asphalt, etc.; the spreading width can be freely adjusted, each nozzle can be controlled separately, and the maximum spraying width is up to 6m. Flexible handheld spray guns can be used to spray asphalt on corners. 3. Excellent thermal insulation performance, average cooling ≤1-2℃/h. 4. Convenient loading and unloading function. In addition to filling asphalt from the asphalt tank port, hot asphalt can be sucked out by itself, and external asphalt can also be pumped and transferred. 5. The modified asphalt equipment is evenly spread, and the nozzle design can be used for triple overlapping spraying.

    From the current point of view, road construction machinery has bottomed out and asphalt meltering equipment has risen rapidly. In recent years, highway construction and maintenance departments have a strong awareness of using asphalt mixing equipment, especially in developed coastal areas such as Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, etc. In addition, these regions have a fast economic growth rate, relatively developed industry, and strong comprehensive economic strength. Therefore, the consumption of asphalt mixing equipments in these regions has always been at the forefront of the country. With the rapid development of highway construction and the increase in demand for asphalt, barreled asphalt has been widely used for its convenient transportation and easy storage. In particular, most of the high-performance imported asphalt used in high-grade highways is in barrel form, which requires an asphalt meltering equipment with fast melting speed, clean de-barreling, and can prevent asphalt aging. my country’s highway construction has achieved remarkable results, among which mechanized production has contributed greatly. Different types of asphalt mixers and bitumen meltering equipment are selected for the characteristics of large highway pavement construction and tight construction period. With the rapid development of my country’s economy, the further extension of expressways, and the large-scale development of western construction, the central and western regions have become new investment hotspots. While paying attention to the market in the developed eastern regions, domestic road construction machinery manufacturers have also increased their efforts to develop the central and western markets, creating new highlights for the domestic asphalt mixing plants consumer market. In summary, my country’s asphalt mixing plant sales market has begun to move westward with the westward movement of investment hotspots. As the market center of gravity gradually shifts westward, the market in the western region is gradually heating up. The self-heating integrated structure, hot air barrel melting and bitumen barrel flipping technology in the asphalt barrel removal equipment are our company’s self-heating integrated structure. The thermal oil furnace used in the old equipment is perfectly integrated with the asphalt barrel removal equipment body, which reduces the volume of the entire set of equipment, greatly reduces equipment investment, saves equipment space and transfer transportation costs.
