Description and Classification of Asphalt Emulsifiers and Applications

Asphalt spreading trucks are used to spread the permeable oil layer, waterproof layer and bonding layer of the bottom layer of asphalt pavement on high-grade highways. It can also be used in the construction of county and township-level highway asphalt roads that implement layered paving technology. It consists of a car chassis, an asphalt tank, an asphalt pumping and spraying system, a thermal oil heating system, a hydraulic system, a combustion system, a control system, a pneumatic system, and an operating platform.

I believe everyone is familiar with the relevant knowledge about modified bitumen equipment. As users continue to increase its application, we have also talked about it a lot in the above articles and learned that it is mainly engaged in the production of modified bitumen. Production, in order to further enhance users’ understanding of it, professionals summarize its relevant characteristics as follows:

Synchronous gravel sealer fog sealer is a method of road maintenance. Some roads have network cracks, cracks and holes after a few years of use. The effective method is fog seal technology. The cost is very low. After the fog seal, due to the large fluidity of the material, it can penetrate into the aggregate and flow into the cracks to “transfuse” the road surface, restore the asphalt adhesion of the road surface, fill small cracks and gaps, prevent water from penetrating the road surface, and keep the road surface performance for 2 to 3 years, delaying the high maintenance cost and improving the economic benefits.

All kinds of base layers have the problem of strength formation and growth (Emerson). The strength is gradually generated during the curing process, and the internal structure will become more and more dense. The test shows that when the semi-rigid base layer is sprayed with penetration oil before the cement (material: powdered water-hardening inorganic cementitious material) has not yet hardened, the penetration depth is deep; with the increase of age and strength, the penetration effect of the penetration oil is getting worse and worse.
At the same time, timely spreading of penetration oil has a good retention effect on the moisture in the base layer, preventing the evaporation of moisture, ensuring the formation of the strength of the base layer, and the surface of the base layer is not easy to loosen. The penetration oil also protects the semi-rigid base layer from cracking due to exposure to the sun. Furthermore, since the base layer is no longer covered and watered for curing, the temperature inside the base layer is high, which is conducive to the growth of strength.

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.

Water is one of the raw materials of the modified asphalt storage tank, and it is distributed in various components of the modified asphalt storage tank equipment. According to the components where water is distributed, the anti-cold measures are explained one by one. The water tank of the modified asphalt storage tank, the water inside the water tank is released through the filter valve. Some instruments of the modified asphalt storage tank do not have a filter valve to save the cost of the equipment. The modified asphalt storage tank can only be drained by loosening the flange bolts at the bottom. The water pump of the modified asphalt storage tank mentioned here includes a hot water pump and a circulating water pump. This type of water pump for the modified asphalt storage tank generally uses a pipeline centrifugal pump. There is a sewage outlet at the bottom of the pipeline centrifugal pump. The modified asphalt storage tank pays attention to the sewage treatment of the sewage outlet at the bottom of the pump. The modified asphalt storage tank emulsion tank generally uses a cone bottom. However, in order to better process the modified asphalt storage tank coefficient, the inlet and outlet are usually not placed at the bottom of the modified asphalt storage tank. Emulsion (mostly water) will remain at the bottom of the tank, and this part of the residual liquid in the modified asphalt storage tank must be discharged through the filter valve at the bottom. Emulsion pump for modified asphalt storage tank There are basically two types of emulsion pumps for modified asphalt storage tank equipment on the market, gear pumps or centrifugal water pumps. Gear pumps can only discharge the liquid inside the pump through the connection flange of the pipeline. The centrifugal water pump for modified asphalt storage tanks uses its own sewage outlet for sewage treatment. The first four items of modified asphalt storage tanks with basic knowledge are basically discharged, and the modified asphalt storage tanks will focus on the latter types. Modified asphalt storage tank colloid mill There will also be residual emulsion or water inside the modified asphalt storage tank colloid mill. The gap between the stator and rotor of the colloid mill is within 1mm. If there is a little residual water in the modified asphalt storage tank, it will cause the accident of frozen modified asphalt storage tank. The residue in the colloid mill can be treated by loosening the connection bolts of the finished product pipeline.

What is an bitumen colloid mill used for? Everyone knows about colloid mill, but what about bitumen colloid mill?
Bitumen colloid mill is a high-tech multifunctional crushing and grinding equipment. The motor drives the rotating teeth and fixed teeth to rotate at high speed, generating a sharp speed gradient, which causes the boring to be strongly sheared, rubbed and turbulent, and finally achieves emulsification and dispersion. and homogenizing effect equipment.

In addition to being used according to regulations, modified bitumen equipment should also be maintained regularly in order to effectively extend the service life of modified bitumen equipment. The delivery pump of modified bitumen equipment, as well as its motor and reducer, need to be maintained in accordance with the specifications of the instructions. If the modified bitumen equipment is parked for a long time, the liquid in the tank and pipeline needs to be drained, and each moving component also needs to be filled with grease. The dust in the control box of the modified bitumen equipment needs to be cleaned once every six months. A dust blower can be used to remove dust to prevent dust from entering the machine and damaging parts. The micro powder machine needs to add unsalted butter once for every 100 tons of emulsified bitumen produced.

Asphalt mixing plant is one of the main equipment for producing asphalt concrete. It can mix asphalt, gravel, cement and other materials together in a certain proportion to obtain the products required for highway construction. In order to ensure its operating effect, the asphalt mixing station also needs to be powered on for trial operation before it is officially put into work.

The modified asphalt equipment produced by Sinoroader can produce SBS, rubber powder, SBR, and PE modified asphalt manually and automatically. Some of its configurations and uses are as follows:
1. Filter: The specially made asphalt filter can effectively filter impurities and foreign matter in the high-temperature matrix asphalt to prevent damage to subsequent equipment.
2. Matrix asphalt heater: The spiral plate or shell and tube heat exchanger is used to quickly heat the matrix asphalt through heat transfer oil to meet the needs of the production process. Heating in a sealed tank avoids the aging of asphalt due to long-term high-temperature heating and exposure to the air. The sulfide produced during the production process is quite limited, reducing environmental pollution.
3. Modifier air delivery or spiral addition system: The modifier manually poured into the pouring hopper is delivered to the asphalt batching tank by wind or spiral. It can be equipped with a metering system.
4. Stabilizer automatic or manual addition system: It can be equipped with a metering system.

The fine surface is made of stone with a single particle size, which has high wear resistance and anti-slip properties. The construction of the fine surface adopts mechanized construction, which requires less manual labor and has the characteristics of fast construction speed, anti-skid and noise reduction.
The special bonding material for fine surfaces produced by Sinoroader Group has the characteristics of good bonding performance and good durability. The specific construction process is roughly as follows:

Bitumen is a mixture of organic compounds. The road surface paved with bitumen by modified emulsified bitumen equipment is a seamless continuous road surface with good durability and wear resistance. It does not soften at high temperatures and does not crack at low temperatures. It has been promoted and applied worldwide for its superior performance such as strong bearing capacity, no dust, anti-slip, and noise.
Modified bitumen refers to an asphalt mixture that has been improved by adding modifiers such as rubber, resin, high molecular polymer, and finely ground rubber powder, or by lightly oxidizing bitumen. The excellent performance of modified bitumen equipment comes from the modifiers added to it and the world’s advanced colloid mill; the modifiers can not only merge with each other under the action of temperature and kinetic energy, but also react with bitumen, thereby greatly improving the mechanical properties of bitumen. The modified bitumen produced by modified emulsified bitumen equipment can effectively enhance the load capacity of the road surface, reduce the fatigue of the road surface caused by excessive load, and extend the service life of the road surface exponentially. Therefore, it can be widely used in the paving of high-grade highways, airport runways and bridges.

Changing the color of asphalt pavement is an important project aimed at improving the beauty of roads, optimizing traffic signs and enhancing urban landscape effects. The following is a detailed introduction to the color change of asphalt pavement:
1. Color change method
Using pavement color change spray:
Spray directly on the original asphalt pavement surface to make the road surface look brand new.
This method is simple and fast to construct, with bright and lasting colors, and will not change the structure of the pavement.

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.

After the emulsified asphalt equipment has been used for a long time, it needs maintenance. There are several points to note when adjusting the emulsified asphalt equipment:
1. During use, regular maintenance should be carried out as appropriate according to the processing materials;
2. For the maintenance and use of the motor, please refer to the motor instruction manual;
3. Most of the random spare parts are national standard and department standard parts, which are purchased all over the country;
4. The colloid mill is a high-precision machine with a line speed of up to 20m/second and a very small grinding disc gap. After overhaul, the coaxiality error between the housing and the main shaft must be corrected with a dial indicator to ≤0.05mm;
5. When repairing the machine, it is not allowed to be directly knocked with an iron bell during the disassembly, reassembly and adjustment process. Use a wooden hammer or a wooden block to knock gently to avoid damaging the parts;
6. The seals of this machine are divided into static and dynamic seals. The static seal uses an O-type rubber ring and the dynamic seal uses a hard mechanical combined seal. If the hard sealing surface is scratched, it should be repaired by grinding on flat glass or flat castings immediately. The grinding material should be ≥200# silicon carbide grinding paste. If the seal is damaged or cracked seriously, please replace it immediately.

How to reduce the energy consumption of emulsified asphalt production equipment is a concern of many users, and is also an issue that many manufacturers attach great importance to. Therefore, today Sinoroader, as a manufacturer of emulsified asphalt production equipment, would like to take this opportunity to share with you how to reduce the production of emulsified asphalt. Equipment energy consumption method.
Since emulsified asphalt appears as a finished product in emulsified asphalt production equipment, and the outlet temperature of ordinary emulsified asphalt is about 85°C, the outlet temperature of emulsified modified asphalt is above 95°C, so there is a lot of latent heat in emulsified asphalt, but emulsified asphalt The production equipment does not make good use of them, but directly enters the finished product tank, allowing the heat to be lost at will, resulting in a waste of energy.

The container-type emulsified bitumen equipment hot-melts the base cold-mix colored bitumen and disperses it through the equipment into small cold-mix colored bitumen particles in an aqueous solution containing emulsifier to form a liquid cold-mix colored bitumen material.

Emulsified asphalt equipment is a special equipment for producing emulsified asphalt. The emulsified asphalt produced by emulsified asphalt equipment is used in many industries. I wonder how much you know about the emulsified asphalt produced by emulsified asphalt equipment. Let’s take a look at them one by one:
Slurry seal is a cold mix asphalt mixture with the advantages of aggregate and asphalt mixing. Under normal circumstances, similar graded slurry seal has a higher modulus than hot mix asphalt mixture, so it is often used to fill road rutting. The higher stability has a higher resistance to deformation. The mixture is usually composed of harder fine aggregate grading and wear-resistant aggregate with high sand equivalent, especially micro-seal and polymer-modified seal. This greatly increases the strength and integrity of the road surface. This makes the road surface have high wear resistance and excellent deformation resistance. Emulsified asphalt emulsion is also easy to use on a mobile slurry seal paver, where mixing and admixtures are used for chemical control to meet maintenance needs.

The requirements for SBS asphalt emulsification equipment are very high. The micro powder machine must have a sufficiently large driving force and can bear the condensation type. Because the temperature requirements of the emulsion SBS asphalt process are relatively high, the emulsified asphalt should be passed through a heat exchanger before feeding to reduce the emulsified asphalt temperature to below 90°C to prevent the emulsified asphalt from breaking due to excessive temperature.
The application scope of SBS modified emulsified asphalt is very wide. According to the nature of the construction, it can be used in new construction, renovation, and reconstruction projects; according to the nature of the project, it can be used in overhaul, equipment overhaul, and maintenance projects. Among them, the actual application projects include micro-surfacing, cold regeneration, cold mixing and cold paving, adhesive layer, permeable oil, slurry seal, gravel permeable layer, fog permeable layer, road moisture-proofing, SBS membrane, ground seam filling, and all other projects that can use emulsified asphalt.

As we all know, emulsified bitumen is a single-component black viscous liquid that can combine the roadbed and the pavement to improve the performance and service life of the road. So what problems should be paid attention to when using emulsified bitumen? Let’s follow the editor of Sinoroader Group, an emulsified bitumen manufacturer, to learn about it.

As a manufacturer with many years of experience in emulsified bitumen construction, Sinoroader Group believes that everyone needs to pay attention to the following 2 points when using it:

To ensure good operation of asphalt melting equipment and extend its service life, regular maintenance and repairs are required. The following are specific maintenance and repair steps:
First, various parts of the equipment, including heating elements, pipes, valves, etc., need to be inspected regularly to make sure they are not worn or damaged. If any problems are found, they should be repaired or replaced immediately.

The engine is the source of power for the vehicle. If the synchronous sealing vehicle wants to perform normal construction operations, it must ensure that the engine is in good condition. Routine maintenance is an important means to effectively prevent engine failure. How to maintain it is determined by Xinxiang Junhua Special Vehicle Vehicles Co., Ltd. will take everyone to understand.

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.

Emulsion bitumen manchine is widely used in new technologies and new processes for preventive maintenance. Emulsion bitumen manchine is an emulsion at room temperature formed by dispersing asphalt into the water phase. It is a new material that is made of natural materials. It is different from traditional Compared with hot asphalt, it saves more than 50% of energy, saves 10%-20% of asphalt, and causes less pollution.

Precautions for checking emulsified asphalt equipment
Sinoroader emulsified asphalt pavement engineering common equipment, now has gradually been widely used.
We all know that before any equipment is used, the equipment should be preliminarily inspected to check whether the installation is normal, and then put into use. The use of modified asphalt modified asphalt production equipment can also extend the peak season. The modified asphalt and stone water machine can be mixed with wet stone to form a continuous film under the surface conditions of low-temperature asphalt and stone. The viscosity of the asphalt is low and the viscosity of the emulsified asphalt is low. Wet film below 10 degrees.

Conventional pit repair techniques are mainly hot material repair and cold filling repair, and warm mixing technology is used to ensure compaction, while there are also some special repair methods such as slurry seal/micro-surface material repair

Stainless steel bitumen melters use bitumen concrete micro-powder machines. Its blade strength is high, the angular velocity of the moving disc is high, and the gap can be adjusted to 0.15mm. Stainless steel bitumen melters are suitable for the production and processing of various polymer bitumen concrete, such as SBS, PE, EVA, etc.
Stainless steel bitumen melters use independently developed special batching tanks, stainless steel bitumen melter force stirring devices, liquid level meter overflow prevention equipment, granular material dosage and equipment, liquid additive automatic addition equipment and other production key points. It ensures the full-position process guarantee for the stainless steel bitumen melter of the bitumen concrete production line. The stainless steel bitumen melter processing stainless steel bitumen melter rate is significantly increased, and the quality of stainless steel bitumen melters is greatly improved.

After the emulsified bitumen equipment has been used for a long time, it needs maintenance. There are several points to note when adjusting the emulsified bitumen equipment:
1. During use, regular maintenance should be carried out as appropriate according to the processing materials;
2. For the maintenance and use of the motor, please refer to the motor manual;

5. When repairing the machine, it is not allowed to be directly knocked with an iron bell during the disassembly, reinstallation and adjustment process. Use a wooden hammer or a wooden block to knock gently to avoid damaging the parts;
6. The machine seals: divided into static and dynamic seals. The static seal uses an O-type rubber ring and the dynamic seal uses a hard mechanical combined seal. If the hard sealing surface is scratched, it should be repaired by grinding on flat glass or flat casting immediately. The grinding material should be ≥200# silicon carbide grinding paste. If the seal is damaged or cracked seriously, please replace it immediately.

Recently, I found that many people don’t know much about the operation skills of asphalt pavement spreaders. If you also want to know what’s going on, you can read this introduction below.
Asphalt pavement spreaders are an indispensable and important equipment in road maintenance and construction. Their operation skills directly affect construction efficiency and project quality. The following introduces the operation skills of asphalt pavement spreaders from four aspects: pre-operation preparation, precautions during construction, spreading skills, and post-operation cleaning and maintenance:

There are many types of emulsified bitumen, and PC-2 is one of them, which is a spray-type emulsified bitumen. It is used for spraying oil through the base layer of granular materials and health care spraying on semi-rigid base layers. There is also the PA-2 type, which has the same purpose as the PC-2 type. The difference is that the PC-2 type is a cation, while the PA-2 type is an anion.
