Code of conduct for safe operation of asphalt mixers

Main uses of asphalt mixing plant
Asphalt mixing plant, also called asphalt concrete mixing plant, can produce asphalt mixture, modified asphalt mixture, and colorful asphalt mixture, fully meeting the needs of constructing expressways, graded highways, municipal roads, airports, ports, etc.
The overall composition of asphalt mixing plant
Asphalt mixing equipment mainly consists of batching system, drying system, incineration system, hot material improvement, vibrating screen, hot material storage bin, weighing mixing system, asphalt supply system, powder supply system, dust removal system, product silo and control system, etc. Some composition.

The development prospects of asphalt mixing plants are very good, and the product competition on the market is also very fierce. When the equipment is used, uneven wear of the supporting wheels and wheel rails often occurs, and sometimes there are some abnormal noises and edge gnawing. The main reason is that after the asphalt mixing station has been working for a period of time, the drying cylinder is exposed to high temperature and friction occurs between the supporting wheel and the wheel rail.
Under the action of drying materials in an asphalt mixing station, the equipment will vibrate violently, which will directly lead to improper adjustment of the gap between the wheel rail and the supporting wheel, or mutual interference between the two. The position is skewed, so the operator needs to add grease to the surface contact positions of the supporting wheel and the calibrating wheel rail after every day’s work.

There is also a reversing valve in the asphalt mixer, which generally does not cause problems, so I have not understood its solution in detail before. But in actual use, we encountered this kind of failure. How should we deal with it?

It is inevitable that the asphalt mixing plant will have insufficient pumping force during use. In fact, during the construction process, as long as the asphalt mixing station is operated in accordance with regulations, and the accessories are cleaned and replaced in time, the asphalt mixing plant will generally not have insufficient pumping force. Now the editor of the asphalt mixing station manufacturer briefly introduces the common solutions to insufficient pumping force of asphalt mixing plant as follows.

Speaking of asphalt mixing plants, we are not unfamiliar with them. This is a unit equipment specially used for asphalt mixing. In fact, what we really lack understanding of is its gas system. Even the accumulated failures that often occur in the gas system of asphalt mixing plants are not very clear. Facts have proved that only by properly maintaining the various systems of the equipment can efficient production and good benefits be achieved.
The following are four types of gas system failures that often occur in asphalt mixing plants. Let’s analyze the causes of the problems behind the failures one by one.

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.

Emulsion bitumen equipment has stable product quality, closed material transmission, high degree of automation and civilized production, and is easy to standardize management. The double-mill configuration can be used to produce modified emulsified asphalt.
At present, emulsified asphalt equipment is widely used in new technologies and processes for preventive maintenance, such as fog seal, slurry seal, micro-surfacing, cold regeneration, crushed stone seal, cold mix and cold patch materials.
Emulsion bitumen equipment is an emulsion at room temperature formed by dispersing asphalt into the water phase. It is a new material for the use of elements. Compared with traditional hot asphalt, it saves more than 50% of energy and 10%-20% of asphalt, and has little pollution. The biggest feature of emulsified asphalt is that it can be stored at room temperature. It does not need to be heated during spraying and mixing, nor does it need to heat the stone. Therefore, it greatly simplifies the construction, avoids burns and scalds caused by hot asphalt, and avoids the fumigation of asphalt steam when paving high-temperature mixtures. It is very popular among road maintenance workers.

The first step in establishing an asphalt mixing station is to determine the host machine and feed batching system. Generally, the configuration is based on the project’s construction period, total amount of concrete, daily concrete consumption and other indicators. The basic principle is to meet the daily concrete consumption. Under normal circumstances, a project can only have one asphalt mixing station, or separate mixing stations can be set up according to zones, or a large mixing station can be set up together with an appropriate number of concrete transport trucks, all of which depend on the actual situation.

In my country, most of the raw materials used in highway construction are asphalt, so asphalt mixing plants have also developed rapidly. However, under the situation of rapid economic development in my country, the problems of asphalt pavement have gradually increased, so the market requirements for asphalt quality have become higher and higher.
There are many factors that affect the quality of asphalt. In addition to the need for asphalt mixing plant equipment to meet conventional requirements, the ratio of raw materials is also very important. At present, my country’s existing industry specifications indicate that the maximum particle size of the asphalt mixture used on the upper layer of the highway cannot exceed half of the thickness, and the maximum particle size of the aggregate of the middle asphalt mixture cannot exceed two-thirds of the thickness of the layer, and the maximum size of the structural layer cannot exceed one-third of the same layer.

With the changes in society and the transformation of the economy, real estate and construction are developing rapidly. When building and constructing houses, most of them use some equipment, such as mixing plants. The asphalt mixing plants produced by our company have a high level of mechanization and high production efficiency.
What is an asphalt mixing plant? It is a combined device used for centralized mixing of concrete, also known as a concrete prefabrication site.
With the development of municipal construction, the use of centralized mixing and the provision of commercial mixing plants have great advantages, so it has developed rapidly and created conditions for promoting concrete pumping construction and realizing the joint operation of mixing, conveying and pouring machinery. It is mainly composed of five major systems, including a mixing host, a material weighing system, a material conveying system, a material storage system and a control system, as well as other ancillary facilities. However, there are some faults in normal times. What are the specific ones in the gas source failure?

Construction safety has always been a major issue, and we cannot let any safety hazard go unnoticed. Especially the use of equipment at the construction site. Asphalt mixing stations are prone to failure. Strengthening the maintenance of this equipment is essential to ensure safe construction at the construction site, improve equipment integrity, reduce equipment failures, and ensure the quality of concrete. The role of neglect.
The composition of the asphalt mixing plant is relatively complex, so during maintenance, classified maintenance should be carried out according to the usage and functions of different parts. Maintenance content can be divided into tank maintenance, winch system maintenance and adjustment, stroke limiter adjustment and maintenance, wire rope and pulley maintenance, lifting hopper maintenance, track and track bracket maintenance, etc.

[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.

We know that the first priority in production is to ensure safety. In the process of operating equipment, staff must always pay attention to using the correct operating methods. Regarding the asphalt mixing plant, it is used to produce asphalt mixtures, modified asphalt mixtures, and colored asphalt mixtures to meet the needs of highways, graded highways, municipal roads, airports, etc.

The drive unit is one of the important components of the asphalt mixing plant, so whether it can be reliably operated must be highly valued to avoid adverse effects on the entire asphalt mixing plant. To ensure that the drive unit in the asphalt mixing plant is indeed complete and reliable, the following maintenance measures are essential.
The first thing to pay attention to is the universal rotating part of the drive unit of the asphalt mixing plant. This part has always been a fault-prone part. In order to reduce the occurrence of faults, grease should be added on time, and the wear should be checked frequently, and repaired and replaced in time. Users should also prepare the universal shaft assembly to avoid affecting the working process of the entire asphalt mixer.

Asphalt mixing plants are large-scale products with high professional and technical requirements, and are composed of multiple systems. Among them, asphalt tanks are also a very critical part. Whether it is manufacturing, debugging or installation, it needs to be operated according to the actual application needs of users.
In addition to the manufacturing, debugging and installation, which need to be operated by installers, the maintenance of asphalt tanks in asphalt mixing plants must also be managed by professionals. At the same time, they must strictly follow all safety rules to operate. Before operation, they must be proficient in the relevant requirements and based on the regulations and safety instructions for storing and handling hot asphalt.

With the strengthening of the trend of environmental protection and energy conservation, the environmental protection of asphalt mixing plants has gradually become the mainstream form of mixing plant development. What kind of equipment can be called an environmentally friendly asphalt mixing plant? What are the basic conditions that must be met?
First of all, as an environmentally friendly asphalt mixing plant, it must meet the requirement of using less energy consumption during use. That is to say, under the conditions of the same quantity and quality, less energy is consumed during the operation process, including various resources such as water and electricity.
Secondly, environmentally friendly asphalt mixing plants not only require less energy consumption, but also must achieve higher production efficiency, while also reducing carbon emissions in the entire production process, so as to meet the proposed low-carbon production requirements.

The drying drum of the asphalt mixing plant should pay attention to daily inspection, correct operation and reasonable maintenance, so as to extend its service life and reduce the cost of engineering use.
1. Pay attention to daily inspection. Before the asphalt mixing plant officially works, the drying drum needs to be tested and inspected to see whether each pipeline is reliably connected, whether the lubrication of the whole machine is feasible, whether the motor can be started, whether the functions of each pressure valve are stable, whether the instrument is normal, etc.
2. Correct operation of the mixing station. At the beginning of the asphalt mixing plant, manual operation can only switch to automatic control after reaching the specified production capacity and discharge temperature. The aggregate should be dry and have a standard mode so that it can maintain a constant temperature when flowing through the drying drum. When the entire aggregate is sent to dry, the moisture content will change. At this time, the burner should be used frequently to compensate for the change in moisture. During the rolling stone processing, the amount of water directly formed is basically unchanged, the amount of combustion accumulation increases, and the amount of water in the deposited accumulation material may change.
3. Reasonable maintenance of the asphalt mixing plant. Aggregates should be deactivated when the asphalt mixing plant is not in operation. After work every day, the equipment should be operated to discharge the aggregate into the dryer. When the material in the hopper leaves the combustion chamber, the combustion chamber should be closed and allowed to idle for about 30 minutes to cool down, so as to reduce its impact or make the machine run in a straight line. Install the drying cylinder fixing ring on all rollers synchronously.

Asphalt mixing plant is a very practical engineering machinery. Especially in the road construction process, it plays an irreplaceable role. Due to its importance, in addition to ensuring its own quality, the use and maintenance of the equipment must be carried out normally. Let’s learn about the daily maintenance requirements of asphalt mixing plants.

In recent years, asphalt pavement has dominated highway surfaces. With the rapid development of our country’s national economy, highway traffic volume is increasing, axle loads are increasing rapidly, vehicle speeds are increasing, and there are more and more quality problems occurring on asphalt pavements. Some are damaged after repair, and some have a service life of up to Less than design age. This has put forward increasingly higher requirements for the quality of asphalt pavement, and an important factor affecting the performance of asphalt surface layers is the gradation composition of the mixture. This article discusses the mix design of asphalt mixture.

In the 21st century, with the booming development of modern engineering construction, complex integrated supporting equipment has been invested in large quantities. Its complex process and more independent operating components have relatively high requirements for the performance of its equipment control system. The application of PLC in asphalt mixing station realizes the control of the entire process of asphalt mixing station, which facilitates the construction of modern engineering construction. Therefore, this article discusses and analyzes the application of PLC in asphalt mixing station, which has certain economic value and practical significance.

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.

Many people think that since both asphalt mixing plants and asphalt mixing plants are equipment for producing asphalt, there should be no difference between them, even if there is, it is only in appearance and volume. However, asphalt mixing plants and asphalt mixing plants are different in even their basic structure and function.
First, let me introduce the basic structure of an asphalt mixing plant, which includes five major components: material supply system, metering system, mixing system, and electrical control system. In comparison, the structure of an asphalt mixing plant is simpler, without so many components, so its operation and maintenance will be simpler.

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.

Judging from the current situation of domestic highway construction, asphalt mixing stations will also achieve great development for a long time to come. This is also a result of rapid economic development. However, we have found that more and more quality problems occur when constructing asphalt pavements in modern times. Therefore, we have to put forward more stringent requirements for the quality of asphalt.

Asphalt mixing equipment has a special function, which is that it can perform cyclic heating to make the asphalt product reach the best condition. But how does it achieve this function? Everyone is curious about this.

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.

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.
