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 proportion of asphalt emulsifier in emulsified asphalt is very small, but its role is crucial. The proportion in emulsified asphalt is generally between 0.2-2.5%. The function of asphalt emulsifier is to transform asphalt into asphalt emulsion. Asphalt is solid at room temperature and needs to be heated when used. After heating, the temperature is high and the risk factor increases during use. However, asphalt emulsion is liquid at room temperature and can be used directly or by adding water without heating. The function of asphalt emulsifier is to make the application of asphalt simple, convenient, safe and environmentally friendly.
Asphalt emulsifiers can be divided into three types according to their ionic properties: anionic, cationic and nonionic.
Cationic emulsified asphalt has the characteristics of good bonding performance, good compatibility with stone materials, and the stone materials at the construction site do not need to be heated. Most of the asphalt emulsifiers currently used in the highway industry are cationic emulsifiers. According to the different speed and effect of demulsification, it is divided into three types: slow cracking type, medium cracking type and fast cracking type. Slow cracking and slow setting type is mainly used as translucent oil. Slow cracking and fast setting are used for micro-surfacing, slurry sealing, cold regeneration, etc. The uses of medium-crack type and fast-crack type are roughly the same. They are mainly used for the production of bonding materials such as adhesive layer oil, gravel seal layer and waterproof base oil.
In short, the emulsified asphalt is selected according to the use needs, and then the asphalt emulsifier for production is selected. Find answers to your questions! If you still don’t find the answer you need, please call the number on the website!

    Bitumen decanter equipment can be placed in a complex system as an independent unit, replacing the existing heat source de-barreling method, or in parallel as a core component of a large set of equipment, or it can work independently to meet the requirements of small-scale construction operations.
    The Sinoroader bitumen decanter device is mainly composed of a de-barreling box, a lifting mechanism, a hydraulic thruster and an electrical control system. The box is divided into two chambers, the upper chamber is a barreled bitumen melting chamber, and heating coils are evenly distributed around it. The heating pipe and the bitumen barrel mainly exchange heat in a radiation manner to achieve the purpose of bitumen de-barreling. Several guide rails are the tracks for the bitumen barrel to enter. The lower chamber is mainly to continue heating the bitumen removed from the barrel to make the temperature reach the suction pump temperature (100℃), and then the asphalt pump is pumped into the upper chamber. At the same time, an empty barrel is pushed out at the rear end outlet. There is also an oil tank on the platform at the entrance of the asphalt barrel to prevent the dripping bitumen from flowing out.
    The inlet and outlet doors of the device adopt a spring automatic closing mechanism. The door can be automatically closed after the asphalt barrel is pushed in or out to reduce heat loss. A temperature gauge is installed at the asphalt outlet to observe the asphalt outlet temperature. The electrical control system can control the opening and closing of the hydraulic pump and the reversing of the electromagnetic reversing valve to realize the advance and retreat of the hydraulic cylinder. If the heating time is extended, a higher temperature can be obtained. The lifting mechanism adopts a cantilever structure. The bitumen barrel is lifted by an electric hoist, and then moved horizontally to place the bitumen barrel on the guide rail. A temperature gauge is installed at the outlet of the asphalt meltering equipment to observe its outlet temperature.

    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.
    The above are the relevant knowledge points of modified asphalt equipment. I hope the above content can be helpful to everyone. Thank you for your viewing and support. More information will be sorted out for you later. Please pay attention to our website updates.
