How to do daily maintenance of modified asphalt equipment

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.

Fog seal is an asphalt pavement maintenance construction method.
When the asphalt pavement has increased water permeability, loss of fine aggregate, cracks, pitting, etc., a fog seal layer can be used for pavement repair. The bonding material of the fog seal layer is fluid, can repair cracks and gaps, and can heal cracks below 0.3. After construction, the oil content of the road surface is increased, the anti-sticking aggregate is loosened, and it can play a waterproof role.
Before construction, the original road surface should be surveyed and analyzed to determine the construction bonding materials and spray volume.
So what precautions should be taken during construction?

1. Observation: Pay attention to the dynamics of the road surface after milling (three to four days), and pave the milled and roughened road surface in time when paving conditions are met.
2. On-site mixing: During construction and production, a sealing slurry truck should be used for on-site mixing. Through the metering equipment of the sealing truck and on-site operation by a robot, it is ensured that emulsified asphalt, water, mineral materials, fillers, etc. can be mixed according to a certain proportion. , stir through the mixing box, and the paving thickness is not higher than the roughing depth.

There is a wide variety of asphalt melting equipment on the market, including different brands and models. The prices of these devices vary widely, depending mainly on factors such as their features, performance, and specifications.
Asphalt melter equipment produced by some large brands such as Sinoroader usually has higher quality and reliability, so the price is relatively higher. However, they also offer longer service life and better maintenance support.

With the rapid development of our country’s social development and the continuous development of economic and information technology, modern highway construction is also developing rapidly, and the requirements for ground structural materials are becoming higher and higher, and Asphalt concrete bonding raw materials are inseparable from modified asphalt equipment. So besides these influencing factors, what other reasons does the company have that people don’t understand? Let’s analyze it together.
There are some asphalt concrete equipment on the market, because they have not solved the problem of asphalt clogging before grinding, there are not enough preparation equipment and grinding equipment, the structure is unscientific, and the entire grinding process cannot achieve a certain particle size, resulting in modification. The product productivity of asphalt equipment is low and the product quality is unstable. It requires continuous grinding for a long time, creating problems. This will not only greatly increase energy consumption, increase costs, make product quality unstable, and affect the speed of highway construction.

Asphalt emulsifier is an emulsifier that belongs to the category of surfactants and is a raw material for the production of emulsified asphalt.
Emulsifiers are divided into: synthetic emulsifiers, natural emulsifiers, inorganic powder emulsifiers, etc. Currently, synthetic emulsifiers are widely used. Asphalt emulsifier is a type of chemical organically synthesized surfactant.

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

There are many types of bitumen emulsifiers, and there are many classification methods. For specific classifications, please refer to previous articles. The raw materials required for the production of emulsion bitumen are: bitumen, water and bitumen emulsifier. High-standard emulsion bitumen requires adding additives and adjusting acid. According to whether acid adjustment is needed in the emulsion bitumen production process, it can be divided into two categories: emulsion bitumen that requires acid adjustment and emulsion bitumen that does not require acid adjustment.

When using asphalt melting equipment, you need to pay attention to the following points:
1. The power must be cut off during installation and operation to ensure safety.
2. Before starting operation, check whether all components are normal and have no fault prompts. In particular, the inspection of key parts such as the heater part and the conveyor belt device is particularly important.

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.

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.

Modified material bitumen stripper, if the definition is simple, is an bitumen stripper. If described in detail, modified materials such as rubber powder or other fillers are added to the bitumen stripper, or an bitumen stripper is used to Block chemical substances such as photooxygen catalysis. The first is to change the chemical composition of the bitumen stripper, and the second is to use modified materials to equip the stripper with a certain spatial network structure, thereby improving its performance. Modified bitumen strippers mainly include vulcanized rubber and thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer modified bitumen strippers, plastic and anti-corrosion coating modified bitumen strippers and polymer modified bitumen strippers.

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 spreader vehicle is an intelligent and automated high-tech product that specializes in spreading emulsified asphalt, diluted asphalt, hot asphalt, high-viscosity modified asphalt, etc.
Asphalt spreader is used for spreading the penetration oil, waterproof layer, and bonding layer of the bottom layer of the asphalt pavement of high-grade highways. The spreader consists of a car chassis, an asphalt tank, an asphalt pumping and spraying system, a thermal oil heating system, a hydraulic system, an ignition system, a control system, a pneumatic system, and an operating platform.
Asphalt spreader is cumbersome to operate. On the basis of absorbing various technologies of similar products at home and abroad, it increases the quality technology content of construction and the humanized design of outstanding improvement of construction conditions and construction environment. Its reasonable and reliable design ensures the uniformity of asphalt spreading, the computer control is stable and reliable, and the technical performance of the whole vehicle has reached an advanced level.

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.

After the rubber bitumen storage tank is cleaned, the wood chips are sent to the rubber bitumen storage tank, and the wood chips and the bottom of the rubber bitumen storage tank are wiped with wood chips. The dirt and wood chips in the bitumen tank can be weathered naturally. The rubber bitumen storage tank is not allowed to be damaged. Check the technical specifications of the underwater concrete processing equipment and ventilation equipment.
The bottom of the rubber bitumen storage tank drain pipe is discharged from the drainage pipe, and the waste water is discharged into the empty tank or other containers through the inlet and outlet and the self-draining pipe. Open the Shenzhen manhole into the plastic suction pipe and pave the Shenzhen manhole with asbestos to reduce the discharge of oil and gas. When manually pumping the bottom oil, two people should be operated to improve the labor efficiency of the workers and send the fuel tank to supervision.

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.

When performing bitumen melting, specialized equipment is required. These equipment usually include bitumen melting furnaces, asphalt mixers, asphalt conveying equipment, etc. Among them, the bitumen melting furnace is one of the most advanced equipments, which can heat solid bitumen to liquid state. In addition, asphalt mixers can mix liquid asphalt with stone to make asphalt concrete. , Asphalt conveying equipment can transport asphalt concrete to the construction site. The selection and use of these equipment are of great significance to ensure the quality of bitumen melting and construction efficiency.

1. When operating an asphalt spreading truck, first check whether the machinery, spreading devices, protective and fire prevention equipment are complete and effective.
2. It is strictly prohibited to use non-specified fuel as the fuel for the heating system. The fuel is not allowed to overflow outside the tank. Generally, the oil level should be 20-30cm lower than the upper end of the overflow pipe.

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 hydraulic bitumen decanter equipment produced by our company uses thermal oil as the heat carrier and has its own burner for heating. The thermal oil heats, melts, debarks and dehydrates the asphalt through the heating coil. This device can ensure that the asphalt does not age, and has the advantages of high thermal efficiency, fast barrel loading/unloading speed, improved labor intensity, and reduced environmental pollution.

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 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.

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

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.

Everyone has a side of themselves that they don’t want others to know. As a preventive road maintenance technology, slurry sealing has some shortcomings. do you think so?
Slurry seal is a kind of road protection that uses special equipment to mix emulsified asphalt, water, additives, aggregates, fillers and other ingredients in a certain proportion, and then mixes the slurry mixture onto the original road surface to form a thin layer. Maintenance technology. These are all well known. The editor will not go into details on this.

1 Common diseases of asphalt pavement
There are nine phenomena of early damage to asphalt pavement: rutting, cracks, and potholes. These diseases are the most common and serious, and are one of the common quality problems of highway projects.
1.1 Rutting
Rutting refers to the longitudinal strip grooves on the road surface along the wheel tracks, with a depth of more than 1.5cm. Rutting is a strip groove formed by the accumulation of permanent deformation of the road surface under the repeated action of vehicle load. Rutting reduces the smoothness of the road surface. When the rutting reaches a certain depth, due to the accumulation of water in the rutting, it is easy for cars to slide and cause traffic accidents. The main reasons for rutting are unreasonable design and serious overloading of vehicles.
1.2 Cracks
There are three main forms of cracks: longitudinal cracks, transverse cracks and mesh cracks. When cracks occur in asphalt pavement, water seepage occurs, which harms the surface layer and base layer.
1.3 Potholes
Potholes are common early diseases of asphalt pavement, which refer to the road surface being damaged into potholes with a depth of more than 2cm and an area of ??more than 0.04㎡. The main reason for the formation of potholes is that the oil used in vehicle repair or motor vehicles seeps into the road surface, polluting the asphalt mixture and causing it to loosen. The pits are gradually formed by driving and rolling.

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.
