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.
    5. Strong adaptability: Suitable for imported and domestic barrels, and the deformation of asphalt barrels will not affect production.
    6. Good dehydration: Use a large-displacement asphalt pump for internal circulation, stirring, water vapor overflows, and is naturally discharged from the exhaust port. After dehydration, asphalt can be directly used to produce asphalt mixture or used as matrix asphalt.

    We should select products that meet the specifications, and we should not select raw materials that do not meet the specifications. The other thing is the operation technology of asphalt heating equipment. Skilled operation technology is the most important, and training is required before taking up the post.
    In recent years, with the continuous development of various industries, the production of various equipment including modified asphalt equipment has been further developed and applied. Professionals introduced that in the process of using modified asphalt equipment for production, the terminal control system implements full automatic control of medium weight, working temperature, working flow, valve opening and closing, etc., thereby ensuring the quality of modified asphalt and greatly improving production efficiency. Now Shandong Duxiu Factory will explain the operating advantages of modified asphalt equipment to customers:
    The base asphalt is heated to 150-170℃ in the rapid heating tank and then enters the blending tank to mix with the modifier fed in through the feeding device. The asphalt pump at the bottom of the blending tank then sends it to the colloid mill for high-speed grinding and shearing, so that the modifier and base asphalt are fully dissolved in extremely small particles, thereby improving the various properties of the asphalt. The finished modified asphalt after high-speed shearing and grinding enters the finished product development tank at the rear for direct use.

    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.
