The mixing speed of asphalt mixing plants is indeed very fast, and the corresponding mixing power must be very high, but the specific amount must be measured in a certain way to determine the scope of use of asphalt mixing equipment. There are many methods for measuring the mixing power of asphalt mixing equipment, but the relatively small errors are the motor counter-torque measurement method and the strain measurement method.
When the motor of the asphalt mixing equipment starts running, the electromagnetic moment acting on the motor rotor and the electromagnetic moment acting on the motor stator are equal, but their directions are opposite. Therefore, as long as the torque acting on the stator is measured, the torque on the rotor can be obtained, and the actual mixing torque is obtained after deducting the friction torque on the rotor bearing.
On the premise of knowing the torque and mixing speed, the mixing power of the asphalt mixing equipment can be calculated. This is the so-called motor counter-torque measurement method, which is relatively simple and suitable for smaller mixing systems.
It should be noted that the torque of the mixing shaft of the asphalt mixing equipment is proportional to its shear strain, so as long as the shear strain on the outer surface of the mixing shaft is measured, the torque can be calculated. This method is suitable for measuring mixing systems with larger power.
When measuring specifically, it is necessary to first symmetrically paste 4 pieces of resistance wire strain gauges on the stirring shaft at a 45° angle to the axis and make them form an electric bridge. When the stirring shaft of the asphalt mixing equipment undergoes shear deformation under the action of torque, the length and cross-section of the resistance wire on the strain gauge also change accordingly.
This change will cause the resistance value of the resistance wire to change, destroying the balance of the bridge while generating a voltage signal that is linearly related to the shear strain. This voltage signal is amplified by the dynamic resistance strain gauge and input into the recorder, and the shear strain change data can be read.
According to the conversion relationship between torque and shear strain, the torque value of the stirring shaft can be easily obtained after data processing, and then the friction torque of the seal, bearing, etc. measured by the no-load test is deducted, which is the actual torque consumed by the asphalt mixing equipment during the mixing process.

    The mobile forced asphalt mixing equipment adopts intermittent drying cylinder, double forced mixer, the main machine can be towed, small footprint, short installation cycle, convenient operation and maintenance, good stability, high degree of automation, high degree of standardization, and high quality of finished products, and the technology of continuous improvement. The mobile forced asphalt mixing plant is suitable for high-grade road asphalt paving and maintenance.
    1. The combined structure of the drum dryer and the batching machine is installed on a movable bracket for easy movement.
    2. The asphalt mixing plant is equipped with a double horizontal shaft to boil the aggregate and ensure uniform mixing.
    3. In the densely arranged hanging barrels, the hot aggregate rises vertically. This lifting tool is easy to use and reliable.
    4. For accurate weighing of aggregates, asphalt and powder ore, a measuring scale is used, which contains a weighing sensor for electronic measurement.
    5. The movement of the power material follows a closed spiral path, which ensures little material loss and provides safe transfer.
    6. On the cyclone burner, high-pressure oil is sprayed out and quickly atomized. In the combustion chamber, the material is fed in a spiral manner and automatically ignited by the oil mist, which ensures combustion efficiency. The cylindrical barrel of the burner is separated from the burner head. The furnace cavity can be pushed in and pulled out, which is convenient for replacing the damaged side column bricks inside the burner. The entire burner has a large heat capacity and high thermal strength. This is cost-effectiveness.

    The asphalt mixing equipment mentioned here may also refer to an asphalt concrete mixing plant. At present, asphalt mixing equipment generally uses a complete set of equipment for mixing. So what are the benefits of using a complete set of equipment?
    1. More effective.
    In today’s industrial production, a complete set of asphalt mixing equipment can help improve production efficiency and ensure product quality. This is why even in a mixing plant, the equipment used is a complete set of equipment.
    2. Ensure quality.
    When mixing asphalt, a certain ratio is set. For this type of asphalt liquid used in different occasions, its ratio control has strict requirements. It is necessary to determine its mixing method and mixing time to ensure that the asphalt liquid is consistent with the production site. One of the advantages of a mixing plant is that the quality can be effectively controlled.
    3. It can be sampled.
    After mixing at the mixing plant, the quality inspector can sample and inspect to ensure that the mixed asphalt liquid meets the use requirements.
    In short, asphalt mixing equipment will use a complete set of equipment, mainly to facilitate the later asphalt to meet production needs. Through the mixing plant, the mixing time and feeding sequence can be better controlled, so that the mixed product can meet different use requirements. And after using the archiving equipment, effective spot checks can be carried out, which can better ensure that the quality meets the construction requirements.
