Efficiency and energy consumption of bitumen melting equipment

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;

Asphalt spreading truck is a kind of black ground construction machinery. It is an important equipment in the logistics construction of roads, municipal roads, airports and ports. This equipment is mainly used to spray different types of asphalt on the ground to meet the construction requirements of different levels of ground oil permeable layer, sticky layer, left and right permeable layer, fog permeable layer, etc.

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

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.

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:

Asphalt mixture is a kind of composite material, mainly composed of asphalt, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, mineral powder, some also added polymer and wood cellulose; By these different quality and quantity of materials mixed to form different structures, and have different mechanical properties

Each F1 track must be paved with three layers of asphalt, middle and lower, of which the lowest layer is 10 cm coarse asphalt concrete bearing layer, its flatness is less than 8 mm; In the middle is a 4 cm medium grained asphalt concrete bond layer, its flatness is less than 5 mm; The top layer uses 4 cm modified asphalt mixture as the surface wear layer, and the flatness is less than 2 mm.

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

The bitumen decanter equipment is mainly composed of barrel removal shell (BOX), hoisting mechanism, hydraulic booster and electrical control system. The shell is divided into two chambers, the left and right chambers. The upper chamber is a chamber for melting a large barrel of bitumen (definition: the transformation process of a substance from solid to liquid). There are heating coils evenly distributed around it.

The base layer of asphalt pavement is divided into semi-rigid and rigid. Since the base layer and the surface layer are materials of different properties, good bonding and continuity between the two are the key requirements for this type of pavement. In addition, when the asphalt surface layer seeps water, most of the water will be concentrated at the joint between the surface layer and the base layer, causing damage such as slurry, looseness, and potholes to the asphalt pavement. Therefore, adding a lower seal layer on top of a semi-rigid or rigid base layer will play a vital role in enhancing the strength, stability and waterproofing capabilities of the pavement structural layer. The more commonly used one is to use asphalt gravel synchronous sealing technology.
So let’s take a look at how the construction of the asphalt gravel synchronous sealing truck is carried out:

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.

According to statistics, among the high-grade highways that have been built and opened to traffic in my country, about 80% are asphalt pavements. However, with the development of time, the influence of various climatic and environmental factors, and the high-intensity driving load, the asphalt pavement will have different degrees of degradation or damage. Pavement maintenance is to take effective technical means to slow down this degradation, so that the pavement can provide good service quality during its service life.

Synchronous chip seal is a process technology for treating cracks in asphalt pavement, and it is currently a highway construction and pavement maintenance technology with low energy consumption and high cost performance. Do you know what its six technical characteristics are? If you don’t know, follow the editor of Sinoroader company to have a look.

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

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 viscosity of the bitimen melter equipment decreases as the temperature increases during the production process. Its output viscosity is about twice as high as every 12°C increase. During production, the base bitimen melter equipment must first be heated to a liquid state and then emulsified. In order to better integrate the emulsification ability of colloid milling, the viscosity of base bitimen melter is generally controlled to be about 200 cst. The lower the temperature, the higher the viscosity, which increases the pressure on the bitimen melter pump and colloid milling, making emulsification impossible: However, on the other hand, in order to prevent the asphalt debarrel equipment from weaning when the moisture of th

Emulsified asphalt equipment hot-melts basic colored asphalt and mechanically distributes tiny colored asphalt particles in an aqueous solution containing emulsifier to form a liquid colored asphalt material. The cement emulsified asphalt equipment mortar used in slab ballastless track construction uses cationic emulsified asphalt equipment. The purpose is to adjust the elasticity, toughness and durability of the cement emulsified asphalt equipment mortar. Polymers are often used to modify the asphalt.

Modified (rubber powder) bitumen equipment, one of the road maintenance equipment. It is a kind of equipment that measures, mixes and develops SBS, rubber powder and asphalt.
Modified (rubber powder) bitumen equipment is a set of wet modification processing technology, which mainly consists of modified material metering and promotion, bitumen rapid heating, asphalt metering, high-intensity mixing tank, mixed material transfer pump, development tank, colloid mill, Control system and other components.

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.

In modern highway maintenance work, how to repair asphalt pavement quickly and effectively has become one of the key issues. As an advanced repair technology, cold patching technology is very popular because of its convenient construction and remarkable effects.
What is the cold patching process?
Cold patching process, as the name suggests, refers to a technical method for repairing asphalt pavement without heating. This process uses a specially proportioned cold-patch asphalt mixture. This material can maintain good fluidity and adhesion even at lower temperatures, thus ensuring the quality of the repair.
Advantages of cold patching process
Fast construction: Cold patching materials can be directly applied to damaged areas without preheating, and are immediately open to traffic, greatly shortening repair time.
All-weather construction: Whether in hot summer or cold winter, cold patching materials can be effectively constructed and are not affected by the weather.
Easy to operate: Thanks to its good working properties, even small damaged areas can be repaired easily.
Environmentally friendly: The construction process reduces environmental pollution and is in line with the concept of green construction.
Application scenarios
The cold patching process is suitable for various types of pavement repair work, especially those places where traffic needs to be restored quickly, such as urban main roads, highway ramps, etc. In addition, the cold patching process is also an ideal choice for remote areas or situations where professional heating equipment is lacking.
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.

Synchronized gravel sealing is to use special equipment, namely a synchronous gravel sealing truck and bonding materials (modified asphalt or modified emulsified asphalt) to be spread simultaneously on the road surface, and then formed into a single layer through natural traffic rolling or tire roller rolling. A layer of asphalt gravel wearing layer, which is mainly used as the surface layer of the road, and can also be used for the surface layer construction of low-grade highways.

There are certain standards for the composition and mix ratio of micro-surfacing, and a wide range of materials are used, including polymer-modified emulsified asphalt, various aggregates, cement, water, additives, etc. Raw material quality has a significant impact on microsurfacing performance, so understanding the performance of each component and the key factors that influence its performance is critical to ensuring the quality of your microsurfacing mix.

Everyone must be familiar with slurry sealing and micro-surfacing. But do you know their 7 construction steps?
Slurry sealing and micro-surfacing were both early preventative highway protection technologies. Its function is to ensure the smooth use and extended life of the highway. The construction steps are as follows:

Maintenance points of asphalt spreading trucks in different working hours
per month (or every 200 hours worked)；
​Per year (or every 500 hours worked)；
Every two years (or every 1,000 hours worked)；

Sinoroader emulsifier does not need to add acid or adjust pH value in the production of emulsified asphalt, thus reducing the process, reducing equipment maintenance, saving labor and materials. It reduces the cost of emulsified asphalt, produces acid-free, eliminates equipment corrosion emulsion, does not consider anti-corrosion measures in the selection of equipment, and greatly reduces the capital investment of equipment.

For users of equipment, the amount of material used is the focus of every user. We should attach great importance to this link in the production process. The following is an analysis of the amount of emulsifier used by Gaoyuan manufacturers.
When emulsified asphalt equipment is emulsifying asphalt, the asphalt temperature is better controlled at above 130°C to have better fluidity; 2. The amount of emulsifier is generally 8-14‰ of emulsified asphalt, that is, 8-14kg per ton of emulsified asphalt (asphalt content is more than 50%), and the temperature is 60-70°C. The emulsifier should be used in the middle and upper limit of the production, 10 kg per ton of emulsified asphalt, or 20 kg per ton of water (asphalt content is 50%); the amount of BE-3 emulsifier is generally 18-25‰ of emulsified asphalt, that is, 18-25kg per ton of emulsified asphalt (asphalt content is more than 50%), and the emulsifier solution temperature is 60-70°C. The emulsifier should be used in the upper and middle limits in the first production to ensure successful production. Use 24 kg per ton of emulsified asphalt, or 48 kg per ton of water (asphalt content is 50%). After the production goes smoothly, the dosage can be reduced according to actual conditions.
