hot mixing asphalt/bitumen

Colored asphalt pavement is a kind of special pavement material that mixes colored particles into asphalt and then lays on the pavement

Asphalt melting equipment is an important road construction tool used to heat asphalt to the appropriate temperature for construction. It can provide reliable solutions and make road construction more convenient. The working principle of this equipment is to heat the asphalt to the appropriate temperature through a heater, and then transport the hot asphalt to the construction site through a conveying system.

Microsurfacing is a thin layer of overlay placed on old asphalt pavement and is a type of preventive maintenance process. The purpose of microsurfacing is road maintenance. After micro-surface paving, it can repair cracks in the original road surface, waterproof and beautify the road surface.
The construction method of micro surfacing is: using a micro surfacing paver to evenly spread modified emulsified asphalt, a certain grade of mineral materials, water and other additives on the road surface in a certain proportion.

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.

Emulsified asphalt can be spread by mechanical spreading and manual spreading. Different spreading methods will have different effects on pavement performance, so it is very important to choose the right spreading method. At the same time, maintenance and management after spreading are equally important to ensure the safety and durability of the pavement.
Emulsified asphalt is a common pavement material that is widely used in road construction and maintenance. There are two main ways to spread emulsified asphalt: mechanical spreading and manual spreading. Mechanical spreading generally uses a special spreading vehicle that can quickly and evenly spread emulsified asphalt. Manual spreading is carried out by workers using tools such as brushes or rollers, which is suitable for pavement treatment in small areas or special areas.
Different spreading methods also have different effects on pavement performance. Mechanical spreading can quickly complete large-area treatment and spread evenly, which is conducive to ensuring the flatness and anti-skid properties of the pavement. Manual spreading can more finely treat special areas such as shoulders and intersections to improve the overall performance of the pavement.

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.

For each equipment used, certain safety knowledge must be followed. For the use of emulsified asphalt equipment, detailed instructions are given:
1. Placement: The emulsified asphalt equipment should be placed on a flat place, the front axle should be fixed to the sleepers, and the tires should be dangling. The machine should not be fiddled with at will to affect normal operation.
2. Regularly check whether the mixer blades are deformed and the screws are loose.
3. Check whether the running direction of the mixing drum is consistent with the direction of the arrow. Please replace the positive and negative poles of the terminal.
4. Before turning on the power, check the no-load test run, check for air leakage, and check the idling speed of the mixing barrel. The normal speed is about 3 times faster than the empty car. If not, stop the inspection.
5. If the asphalt material is stopped for one hour after mixing, clean the mixing barrel, pour in clean water, and clean the mortar. Then drain the water. Remember that there should be no water in the barrel to prevent the formula from changing, so that the page and other links will rust. Sinoroader will provide you with more safe emulsified asphalt knowledge, please continue to browse.

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.

With the development of science and technology, the emergence of emulsified asphalt tanks has brought great convenience to our work, and is widely used in every site. So what issues need to be paid attention to when filling emulsified asphalt tanks? Below, the editor will introduce to you the relevant knowledge structure diagram, hoping to be of some help to you.

Friends who are ready to get started have a surprise today. The editor will give you a brief introduction on how to produce emulsified asphalt.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Abstract: Asphalt melting equipment is one of the indispensable equipment in modern road construction. Its main function is to heat a large amount of cold hard asphalt to a suitable working temperature at the construction site. Advanced asphalt melting equipment can greatly improve construction efficiency, reduce human resources and time costs, and ensure pavement quality at the same time.

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;

Before use, please check whether the position of each valve is accurate and make preparations before work. After starting the motor of the asphalt spreading truck, check the four thermal oil valves and air pressure gauge. After everything is normal, start the engine and the power take-off starts to work. Try running the asphalt pump and cycle for 5 minutes. If the pump head shell is hot to your hands, slowly close the thermal oil pump valve. If the heating is insufficient, the pump will not rotate or make noise. You need to open the valve and continue to heat the asphalt pump until it can operate normally.

Road repair Keep the road to maintain the performance of the road, restore the damaged part in time, ensure the safety, comfort and smooth driving, save transportation costs and time; Correct technical measures should be taken to improve the quality of the project, extend the service life of the road, and postpone the reconstruction time. With the performance, the damaged part is restored in time to ensure the safety, comfort and smooth driving, saving transportation costs and time; Correct technical measures should be taken to improve the quality of the project, extend the service life of the road, and postpone the reconstruction time.

For the relevant knowledge of modified asphalt equipment, we have more or less introduced it in the above articles. I believe that most users also have some simple understanding of it. Today we also mastered:
In order to meet the different requirements of customers, the configuration and process of the equipment produced by the manufacturers of modified asphalt equipment are diversified. There are fixed production types, mobile types, and imported main machines, but the imported main machines are expensive, so most customers configure domestic pipeline emulsifiers or colloid mills. In terms of the degree of automation, there are fully automatic production and semi-automatic production. Regardless of the form of production, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. What kind of process and configuration is used depends on the annual production volume and the customer’s requirements for equipment, product performance requirements and other factors. I hope that these introductions can help users choose to a certain extent.

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.

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.

Due to the incorporation of a certain proportion of water into the slurry sealing mixture, it is easy to evaporate in the air. After the water is evaporated, it will become dry and hardened. Therefore, after the slurry is formed, it not only looks very similar to fine-grained asphalt concrete, but does not affect the visual appearance of the road. It also has the same technical properties as fine-grained concrete in terms of wear resistance, anti-skid, waterproofing, and smoothness. Slurry seal technology is used in highway pavement maintenance because of its simple construction technology, short construction period, low cost, high quality, wide application, strong adaptability, etc. It is an asphalt with both economy and high efficiency. Pavement maintenance technology is worthy of application and promotion.

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.

From three aspects, emulsion bitumen equipment has good economic performance:
First, energy saving. The kerosene or gasoline content in diluted asphalt can reach 50%, while the emulsion bitumen plant only contains 0-2%. This is a valuable saving behavior in the production and utilization of white fuel. By simply increasing the viscosity standard of asphalt by adding light oil solvent, asphalt can be poured and spread, and it is hoped that the light oil after use can evaporate into the atmosphere.
Second, versatility. There are many application methods for emulsion bitumen plants, and the appropriate method needs to be selected when applying it. The same emulsion can be used for large-scale sealing and can be used for small-scale pit repair work. Because they can be stored in tanks for a long time, they are very easy to use when applied in remote areas.
Third, it is easy to use. The professional spreading of emulsions requires professional equipment, such as spreaders. Small-area emulsion applications can be directly poured and spread by hand, such as small-area pit repair work, crack fillers, etc. Small quantities of cold mixes only require basic equipment.

Some of the equipment of emulsified modified bitumen equipment are as follows. The specially made bitumen filter can effectively filter the residues and dirt in the high-temperature culture medium bitumen to avoid damage to the subsequent equipment. The emulsified modified bitumen equipment adopts a spiral plate type or a shell and tube heat exchanger to quickly heat the culture medium bitumen through high-temperature heat transfer oil to meet the needs of the production process. The emulsified modified bitumen equipment is heated in the storage tank to prevent the bitumen from aging due to long-term high-temperature heating and exposure to the air. The sulfate generated during the production process of the emulsified modified bitumen equipment is very limited, reducing air pollution.
The emulsified modified bitumen equipment sends the modified material manually poured into the dumping bin to the bitumen batching tank by wind or spiral. It can be equipped with a metering and calibration system. The emulsified modified bitumen equipment thickener is automatically or manually added. The emulsified modified bitumen equipment can be equipped with a metering and calibration system. Emulsified modified bitumen equipment transportation and metering and calibration system, the emulsified modified bitumen equipment adds the set bitumen amount to the batching tank through the frequency converter and computer interlock. The emulsified modified bitumen equipment and bitumen steam flowmeter use big brand products to ensure the preparation.

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.
