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.

Fillers used in emulsion bitumen equipment are generally divided into two types: chemically active and non-chemically active. In the production of emulsion bitumen equipment, it can improve the stability of the slurry mixture, speed up or slow down the demulsification speed, and improve the strength of the sealing layer. When adding chemically active fillers, the reaction and compatibility of the fillers with mineral materials and modified emulsion bitumen should be fully considered.

In short, the cold patching process has occupied a place in the field of rapid repair of asphalt pavement with its unique advantages and has become an indispensable part of modern highway maintenance.

Emulsified modified asphalt equipment is classified according to the production process and can be divided into three types: intermittent emulsified modified asphalt equipment, semi-continuous emulsified modified asphalt equipment, and continuous emulsified modified asphalt equipment. During the production of emulsified modified asphalt equipment, demulsifier, acid, water, and latex modified materials are blended in a soap mixing tank, and then pumped into the asphalt into the colloid mill. After a can of soap is used up, the soap is redispensed, and then the production of the next can is completed.
The emulsified modified asphalt equipment mentioned here includes hot water pumps and circulation pumps. This type of centrifugal water pump generally uses a pipeline centrifugal pump. There is a sewage outlet at the bottom of the pipeline centrifugal pump. Pay attention to the sewage outlet at the bottom of the emulsified modified asphalt equipment pump. The water in the water tank is released through the filter valve. Some emulsified modified asphalt equipment does not have a filter valve to save equipment costs, so it can only be emptied by loosening the flange bolts at the bottom. There are basically two methods of moisturizing emulsion pumps for emulsified modified asphalt equipment on the market, gear oil pumps or centrifugal water pumps. The gear oil pump can only drain the liquid in the pump through the connecting flange of the pipeline. The centrifugal water pump carries out sewage treatment through its own sewage outlet.
When used in the production of emulsified modified asphalt equipment, depending on the modified material technology, the latex pipeline can be connected in front of the colloid mill or behind the colloid mill, or there may be no latex pipeline and it must be made manually. Add the required amount of latex into the soap jar.

In the cold winter, you need to pay attention to the following points when using asphalt melting equipment:
1. Protection from cold and warmth: The equipment needs to be operated indoors or in a place with shading facilities, and ensure that the temperature of the equipment and the surrounding environment is maintained within an appropriate range.
2. Check the equipment: Before use, the equipment should be checked, including whether the circuits, fluid circuits and other parts of the equipment are working normally, and whether there are any leaks of electricity or water in the equipment.
3. Pay attention to safety: During operation, you should wear protective equipment and avoid direct contact with hot asphalt. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid equipment overload operation and prevent equipment damage and safety accidents.
4. Control speed: Reasonably control the working speed of the equipment according to weather conditions and road conditions to avoid overheating of the equipment, causing asphalt to flow too quickly or burn.
5. Storage conditions: When not in use, place the device in a dry, ventilated place with moderate temperature, and ensure that any residue in the device is completely removed.

The paved F1 track cannot have more than 3 points per kilometer of flatness detection, which is much higher than the highway.

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.

Contemporary roads and pavements have undergone many changes: traffic volume and driving frequency have increased significantly, the axle load of logistics trucks has continued to increase, one-way driving in separate lanes has been widely implemented, and regulations have further improved the anti-flow resistance of the ground, that is, the work of modified asphalt equipment under high temperatures ability;

According to the configuration, layout and controllability of bitumen melting equipment, bitumen melting plant can be divided into three types: mobile, transportable and portable. What should be paid attention to in the production of bitumen melter equipment of different sizes? Let’s learn about it below!
Bitumen melting plant is to fix the demulsifier mixing equipment, black anti-static tweezers, asphalt pump, automatic control system, etc. on a special support chassis. Because the bitumen melter equipment can directly change the production site, it is suitable for the production of emulsion bitumen in construction sites with decentralized projects, small usage and frequent movement.
The main components of the bitumen melting equipments are installed in one or two 60 standard containers. The bitumen melting plant is loaded and transported separately to complete the relocation of the construction site. With the help of asphalt melting equipments hoisting equipment, it is quickly installed and put into operation. Such bitumen melter plant has large, medium and small different configurations, which can meet different project requirements.

Asphalt used to pave roads. It can be obtained by regular vacuum distillation of crude oil with appropriate properties, and can also be obtained by shallow oxidation of vacuum residue or propane deasphalting process. It can also be prepared by mixing asphalt of different duction and injection degree

With the rapid development of highway construction and the increase in demand for asphalt, barreled bitumen has been widely used for its convenient transportation and easy storage. In particular, most of the high-performance imported bitumen used in high-grade highways is in barrel form, which requires an bitumen melter equipment with fast melting speed, clean debarreling, and prevention of asphalt aging.
The upper part of the debarreler of the bitumen melter equipment is hotter, and each barrel is directly heated by the heat transfer oil coil. The barrel wall directly bears the heat radiation of the heating coil. The asphalt is cleanly and sensitively debarreled, and there will be no waste of asphalt hanging barrels. According to the principle of layered heating, four-layer heating technology is adopted, with single inlet and single outlet of heat transfer oil, and high thermal efficiency of heating; at the same time, the waste heat of combustion exhaust gas is used for secondary heating, and power is effectively used; the debarreler body is insulated with high-quality rock wool material. It is suitable for various types of imported and domestic barrels, and the deformation of asphalt barrels will not affect production.

Precautions for checking emulsified asphalt equipment

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.

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.

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.

Emulsified asphalt is an aqueous suspension of asphalt particles with high interfacial energy. This suspension state is thermodynamically unstable and has the potential to reduce its interfacial area (i.e., through the coagulation process) to a stable state. Preventing this coagulation state (dispersion destruction) is the stabilization effect of the emulsifier protective layer. The stability of emulsified asphalt refers to the ability of asphalt particles to aggregate and cause phase separation, and also refers to the time required for emulsified asphalt to reach equilibrium. That is, the time for asphalt particles to aggregate and separate from water. How can we increase this time? How to prevent emulsified asphalt from demulsifying?

Working conditions of asphalt debarreling equipment:
(1) Outdoor temperature: 20°C (average temperature of day and night)
(2) Heat exchange oil: 320 ℃
(3) Loading time is not included (because the personnel equipped in each unit are different, so the loading time is also different)
(4) There is no fluctuation in oil temperature (optimal automatic burner)
(5) The working temperature of the oil furnace is 220-260 ℃
(6) The flow rate of the oil circulation pump is not less than 50m3/h traffic
(7) When the outdoor temperature is lower than 20℃, the output decreases. The lower the temperature, the lower the output, and the higher the temperature, the higher the output.
(8) The greater the deformation of the asphalt barrel, the greater the impact on the output
