How to control the temperature of the mixture in the asphalt mixing plant?

Asphalt mixing plant refers to a complete set of equipment used for batch production of asphalt concrete. Its main function is to produce asphalt mixture, colored asphalt mixture, etc., and has been widely used in road construction. However, during the production process of asphalt mixture, pollutants such as noise, dust, and asphalt smoke will be produced, seriously polluting the environment and threatening the health of workers. Therefore, under the current background of building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society in our country, it is very important to save energy and reduce consumption during the use of asphalt mixing plants. The following article mainly starts from the three factors that affect the asphalt mixing plant, and explores the energy saving and consumption reduction measures of the asphalt mixing plant, aiming to reduce the cost of asphalt production and improve the efficiency of the asphalt plant.

Asphalt is commonly used in our modern urban life, especially in the process of urban highway construction. As an important road surface paving material, the demand for its use is relatively high. Only by using better relevant material performance characteristics can the overall effect be well helped.
Asphalt mixing plants are equipment products that need to be involved in the production and use of such products. With its own excellent performance, it has been better expanded in the promotion of the existing market use scope. The coordination of external use factors is also a key part, and the relationship between various factors must be handled well.

Due to certain restrictions on the current development status and conditions, the profits of the domestic asphalt pavement construction industry are getting lower and lower. Therefore, in the process of using asphalt mixing plants for production, on the one hand, the quality of the products and customer requirements must be ensured. , on the other hand, it is necessary to reduce production costs. Therefore, cost management is very important, and refined management should be implemented in this regard.
First, for device management. Since equipment is the foundation and key of production, in the cost management of asphalt mixing stations, the management of equipment plays an important role in reducing costs. Only by managing the equipment well can the normal working status be ensured, which provides the necessary guarantee for the smooth progress of the project. In fact, in today’s highway projects, equipment costs account for a large part of the cost and profit. The huge profits after the construction of a highway will be greatly affected by the management of materials and equipment.

The quality of asphalt mixture directly determines the quality of asphalt pavement engineering. This article discusses the key points of supervision of ordinary highway asphalt plants in order to better monitor the quality of asphalt mixture.

Asphalt (composition: asphaltenes and resin) tanks are divided into: intermittent and continuous functions according to the production process: initial batching of aggregates, heating and drying, screening and measurement; heating and insulation of asphalt (composition: asphaltene and resin) , transportation and measurement; transportation and measurement of filler; uniformly mix the measured aggregate, asphalt (composition: asphaltene and resin), and filler into a finished product of a certain temperature.

Asphalt mixing stations play an important role in road construction. This article starts from the site selection, commissioning, and acceptance of the asphalt mixing plant, and elaborates on comprehensive and reasonable planning to avoid disturbing the normal construction order.

Certain failures cannot be avoided during the use of the asphalt mixing plant. For example, a malfunction of the cold material feeding device may cause the asphalt mixing plant to shut down. This may be due to a malfunction in the asphalt mixing plant or due to gravel or foreign matter being trapped under the cold material belt. If it is stuck, if it is a circuit failure, first check whether the motor control inverter of the asphalt mixing station is faulty and whether the line is connected or open.

Natural gas is a colorless, odorless, flammable and explosive gas, the main component of which is methane, which accounts for about 98% of natural gas. The density of natural gas is lower than that of air and it is difficult to liquefy. Natural gas is not only a clean green energy for civil, commercial and industrial use, but also a raw gas for chemical industry. The theoretical ignition value of natural gas is 540 degrees, the combustion temperature is 1970 degrees, the calorific value is 40MJ/m3, and the explosion limit is 5%-15%. CNG refers to natural gas that has been compressed to 20-25MP and stored in high-pressure gas tank trucks, and then transported to various gas transmission points to supply gas to residential users, commercial users and industrial users. In order to ensure the normal operation and safety of the asphalt mixing station and our pressure regulating station, our company has specially formulated the following safety protection measures.

With the strengthening of the trend of environmental protection and energy conservation, the environmental protection of asphalt mixing plants has gradually become the mainstream form of mixing plant development. What kind of equipment can be called an environmentally friendly asphalt mixing plant? What are the basic conditions that must be met?
First of all, as an environmentally friendly asphalt mixing plant, it must meet the requirement of using less energy consumption during use. That is to say, under the conditions of the same quantity and quality, less energy is consumed during the operation process, including various resources such as water and electricity.
Secondly, environmentally friendly asphalt mixing plants not only require less energy consumption, but also must achieve higher production efficiency, while also reducing carbon emissions in the entire production process, so as to meet the proposed low-carbon production requirements

Asphalt mixing plant is a very practical engineering machinery. Especially in the road construction process, it plays an irreplaceable role. Due to its importance, in addition to ensuring its own quality, the use and maintenance of the equipment must be carried out normally. Let’s learn about the daily maintenance requirements of asphalt mixing plants.

Speaking of asphalt mixing plants, we are not unfamiliar with them. This is a unit equipment specially used for asphalt mixing. In fact, what we really lack understanding of is its gas system. Even the accumulated failures that often occur in the gas system of asphalt mixing plants are not very clear. Facts have proved that only by properly maintaining the various systems of the equipment can efficient production and good benefits be achieved.
The following are four types of gas system failures that often occur in asphalt mixing plants. Let’s analyze the causes of the problems behind the failures one by one.

At present, most asphalt mixing plants have different degrees of energy loss in use, and these losses have brought us serious waste. How to reduce energy consumption in these aspects and achieve efficient production?
First of all, we must first summarize which aspects have energy loss, and then we can find reasonable solutions based on these problems. Through research, it is found that there are four problems in the use of asphalt mixing plants and the production of asphalt mixtures. The content and measures are as follows:
The first aspect is the management of the pile. We can reduce the energy consumption of the asphalt mixing plant through 3 specific methods: 1. Appropriately reduce the stacking height of the pile; 2. Build an inclined pile site with a good drainage structure; 3. Build a waterproof canopy.

In fact, asphalt mixing stations are not uncommon in our daily lives. They are mainly a unit of equipment specially designed to mix asphalt. What we really don’t understand is the gas system of the asphalt mixing station. Only correct maintenance And operation can bring out the best production effect. So what are the faults in the gas circuit of asphalt mixing station?
The following three points are the more common gas path failures of asphalt mixing stations:

Asphalt mixing plants are large-scale products with high professional and technical requirements, and are composed of multiple systems. Among them, asphalt tanks are also a very critical part. Whether it is manufacturing, debugging or installation, it needs to be operated according to the actual application needs of users.
In addition to the manufacturing, debugging and installation, which need to be operated by installers, the maintenance of asphalt tanks in asphalt mixing plants must also be managed by professionals. At the same time, they must strictly follow all safety rules to operate. Before operation, they must be proficient in the relevant requirements and based on the regulations and safety instructions for storing and handling hot asphalt.

With the changes in society and the transformation of the economy, real estate and construction are developing rapidly. When building and constructing houses, most of them use some equipment, such as mixing plants. The asphalt mixing plants produced by our company have a high level of mechanization and high production efficiency.
What is an asphalt mixing plant? It is a combined device used for centralized mixing of concrete, also known as a concrete prefabrication site.
With the development of municipal construction, the use of centralized mixing and the provision of commercial mixing plants have great advantages, so it has developed rapidly and created conditions for promoting concrete pumping construction and realizing the joint operation of mixing, conveying and pouring machinery. It is mainly composed of five major systems, including a mixing host, a material weighing system, a material conveying system, a material storage system and a control system, as well as other ancillary facilities. However, there are some faults in normal times. What are the specific ones in the gas source failure?

During the operation of the asphalt mixing plant, the quality of the mixture is often related to its construction quality. Therefore, we need to improve the quality level of the mixture as much as possible, and the temperature of the mixture is one of the standards for the qualification assessment of the mixture. In other words, if the temperature is too high or too low, the mixture may become waste and cannot meet the needs of use.
Therefore, reasonable control of the temperature of the mixture is one of the basic conditions that must be met for the normal production of the asphalt mixing plant. Among them, the quality of the fuel will affect the temperature of the mixture. For example, if the quality of the fuel is poor, the calorific value is low, and the combustion is incomplete, it will lead to unstable heating, low temperature, and a large amount of residue will be produced after combustion, affecting the quality of the mixture. If the viscosity is large, it will also cause ignition difficulties and the temperature is not easy to control.

In today’s road construction, the use of a large number of road construction machinery represents the entry into the era of highway mechanization. For users, the goal is to use road construction machinery reasonably and tap its potential as much as possible. However, road construction machinery requires various accessories to work together. Now let’s take the asphalt mixing plant as an example to see what commonly used accessories and equipment are available.
Asphalt mixing plant equipment is a relatively complex system, which includes many equipment, mainly nine parts, namely: bag dust removal, finished material temporary storage warehouse, grading machine, fast heating asphalt tank, asphalt barrel removal machine, asphalt recycled material crushing and screening system, coal block crusher, coal mill and dust removal equipment, etc.

1.During the operation of asphalt mixing station equipment, in addition to ensuring that the asphalt mixing station equipment is in good condition, it should also be equipped with a mineral moisture content detector and a finished material tester, and the relevant data should be frequently tested for the operator to adjust the operation in time, so as to keep the equipment in good condition.
2. In addition to affecting production capacity, the moisture content of mineral materials is also the main factor that determines fuel consumption. Additional material sheds should be added.
3. Before operation, all working parts and devices of the asphalt mixing station equipment should be fully checked to see if they are intact and normal. If there is a problem, it must be properly handled before operation, and it is forbidden to operate with illness.

The first step in establishing an asphalt mixing station is to determine the host machine and feed batching system. Generally, the configuration is based on the project’s construction period, total amount of concrete, daily concrete consumption and other indicators. The basic principle is to meet the daily concrete consumption. Under normal circumstances, a project can only have one asphalt mixing station, or separate mixing stations can be set up according to zones, or a large mixing station can be set up together with an appropriate number of concrete transport trucks, all of which depend on the actual situation.

We know that the first priority in production is to ensure safety. In the process of operating equipment, staff must always pay attention to using the correct operating methods. Regarding the asphalt mixing plant, it is used to produce asphalt mixtures, modified asphalt mixtures, and colored asphalt mixtures to meet the needs of highways, graded highways, municipal roads, airports, etc.

The asphalt mixing plant is constructed according to a certain process, which can not only ensure the construction quality, but also ensure that the asphalt mixing plant is not damaged. Although the construction details are critical, the key skills of the asphalt mixing plant construction must be mastered.
Before the construction of the asphalt mixing plant, the top surface of the asphalt mixing plant construction range should be removed, and the dry and flat site elevation should be kept to meet the design requirements. If the ground surface is too soft, the foundation should be reinforced to prevent the construction machinery from becoming unstable and to ensure that the pile frame is vertical.

Asphalt mixing equipment is a large-scale equipment, so you must pay attention to safety when using it to avoid accidents. But to put it simply, if you want to truly use it safely, you must master some basic common sense. The following main things must be kept in mind.

In recent years, asphalt concrete, as a new green building material, is gradually being valued by people because of its excellent performance in saving resources, being environmentally friendly, ensuring the quality of construction projects, and achieving sustainable utilization of resources. The development of asphalt concrete fully embodies my country’s policies to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction, and is also an important measure to promote the development of circular economy.

Asphalt mixing plant is a relatively important complete set of equipment in people’s lives. There are many components of this equipment, such as grading machine, vibrating screen, belt feeder, powder conveyor, elevator and other parts. Plug valve is one of them, so what is the specific role of plug valve in asphalt mixing plant? This article will give a brief introduction.
The plug valve is first of all a closure or plunger-shaped rotary valve. Generally, it is necessary to rotate 90 degrees to make the channel opening on the valve plug the same as that on the valve body, or to split it to play the role of opening or closing. The shape of the plug valve in the asphalt mixing plant is generally cylindrical or conical.

When inspecting the asphalt mixing plant, it was found that the asphalt in the pipeline solidified because the temperature of the asphalt transportation pipeline did not meet the requirements. Analysis believes that the reasons for this result are that the high-level oil tank of the heat transfer oil is too low, resulting in poor circulation of the heat transfer oil; the second is that the inner tube of the double-layer pipe is eccentric; the third is that the heat transfer oil pipeline is too long; and the fourth is that the heat transfer oil pipeline is not insulated measure.

Due to raw materials or usage, asphalt mixing plants will be subject to a certain degree of wear or other failures during daily use. If they are not controlled or repaired in time, the problem will be further exacerbated. For asphalt mixing plants, what are the ways to prevent wear and failure?
If the asphalt mixing plant is not treated in time after being worn, it may corrode once it is in contact with air, rainwater, etc. for a long time. If the parts of the asphalt mixing plant are severely corroded, the service life and normal operation of the entire equipment will be affected.

What should I do when the reversing valve in the asphalt mixing plant fails? The editor has a trick:
1. The reversing valve cannot be reversed or the reversing action is slow, which is generally caused by poor lubrication, stuck or damaged springs, oil or impurities stuck in the sliding parts. In this regard, you should first check whether the oil mist is working normally; whether the viscosity of the lubricating oil is appropriate. If necessary, the lubricating oil should be replaced, the sliding part of the reversing valve should be cleaned, or the spring and reversing valve should be replaced.
