How to use and maintain the drying drum of the asphalt mixing plant

Safety is the key point for any piece of equipment, and asphalt mixers are of course no exception. What I want to share with you is the knowledge in this area, that is, the safe operation specifications of asphalt mixers. You might as well pay attention to it.

Asphalt mixing equipment is equipment used to produce asphalt concrete in large quantities. Because this equipment is affected by various factors during the production process, some problems will inevitably occur after a period of use. Sinoroader Group The editor of the asphalt mixing equipment company of China Machinery Co., Ltd. will introduce to you the methods of rescuing damaged parts in asphalt mixing equipment.
Asphalt mixing equipment encounters different problems, and the solutions are also different. For example, one of the common problems of asphalt mixing equipment is that parts are worn out and damaged. The solution that needs to be done at this time is to start from the production of parts. Just start improving.

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.

The asphalt mixing plant contains multiple different systems with different functions. The drying system is one of them. Its main function is to heat and dry the materials to reach the temperature required for the process. In order to successfully achieve this goal, the drying system must provide a certain amount of heat.

Asphalt mixing stations have always been criticized for pollution due to the emission of harmful smoke and dust and high energy consumption. Asphalt mixing stations with high pollution, high energy consumption and unqualified environmental protection are obviously incompatible with modern urban development. Under the high pressure of environmental protection supervision, how can asphalt mixing stations pass environmental protection inspections smoothly? Can asphalt mixing stations be low-carbon, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly, and achieve environmental protection upgrades?
As a professional asphalt mixing equipment R&D and manufacturer, how to make asphalt mixing stations more environmentally friendly and energy-saving has always been the direction of Nanfang Road Machinery’s efforts. In response to the pollution problems faced by asphalt mixing stations, Nanfang Road Machinery has launched environmentally friendly asphalt mixing equipment with strict environmental protection standards.

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.

1. Causes of overflow
The main causes of spillage are:
1) Mixing materials in cold silo. Cold material warehouses generally have 5 or 4 warehouses. Each warehouse is required to contain pellets of a certain specification. If cold materials of different specifications are mixed or mistakenly loaded during the loading process, it will cause certain occurrences in a certain period of time. The shortage of pellets of one specification and the overflow of pellets of another specification can easily destroy the supply balance between hot and cold silos.

The renovation of the combustion-supporting system of the asphalt mixing plant and the use of DC frequency conversion CNC machining technology are all renovations of the original system. In addition to the above renovation plans, with the existing equipment and personnel, what other measures can be taken in the application to reduce the operating costs of concrete mixing plants?
At present, China has no mandatory national industry standards for heavy residual oil, and the quality of fuel oil varies greatly. Even from the same dealer, the quality difference between batches is very large, and it contains more residues. Therefore, bridge inspection equipment should be installed on the construction site, and professional personnel should inspect various performance parameters of gasoline and diesel to strictly control quality.
When the burner is working, if the flame of the combustion aid is red and the smoke from the ash removal chimney is black, this is the manifestation of poor atomization of gasoline and diesel and insufficient combustion aid. At this time, the following measures should be taken to deal with it: properly adjust the distance between the nozzle and the vortex plate, generally push it inward to a suitable distance, the purpose is to prevent the atomized oil cone sprayed from the nozzle from spraying into the vortex plate; effectively adjust the ratio of gasoline and diesel to gas, so that the gasoline and diesel increase the mass conversion law slowly, or the gas increase the mass conversion law quickly; promptly remove the carbon deposits and coke around the nozzle to prevent the flame from deflecting; heavy residual oil contains more residues, which can easily cause serious damage to the high-pressure oil pump and increase the working pressure, affecting the actual effect of atomization and the shape of the flame, so the high-pressure oil pump must be repaired or replaced in time; install metal filter devices in front of the first and second high-pressure oil pumps, and clean them frequently to prevent the residues in the gasoline and diesel from blocking the nozzle.
The operators should be trained in professional skills on a regular basis to strengthen their job responsibilities and moral education, so that they can establish their respective job responsibilities, understand the importance of their positions, understand the content of their work, and improve their professional level. Skilled operators can properly control the temperature of the asphalt mixing plant mixture to avoid gasoline and diesel waste.
In order to improve the combustion-supporting effect and effectively reduce the operating costs of asphalt mixing stations, Sinoroader Group kindly reminds that the following issues should be noted when using the burner in the asphalt mixing station: To improve the maintenance of the burner, the burner nozzle should be cleaned of charred materials and carbon deposits on the ignition electrode regularly. The nozzle can be disassembled according to the atomization status; the air-oil ratio of the burner is generally not adjusted, and the fuel pump pressure can be adjusted according to the smoke status and the temperature of the asphalt mixture; the sulfur dioxide generated by the combustion of light fuel oil has a strong corrosion to the bag, so the bag should be maintained regularly and the air pressure changes in the bag should be paid close attention to; water deashing will produce more foam, causing the sand settling tank to flow out, so the sand settling tank should be cleaned in time, and a watering design should be carried out to settle the foam; when the steam pressure decreases or the gear oil pump noise increases, the gear oil pump must be replaced.
When the burner is started, the fuel oil circulation system should be completed through the valve, and then the burner control box should be opened to start the burner. If the electronic ignition of the fuel oil fails, you can change the inlet tee and use the diesel engine for ignition. After the ignition is successful for 2 minutes, you can convert it into fuel oil. In this way, even the light fuel oil of lower quality can ensure combustion.

It is inevitable that the asphalt mixing plant will have insufficient pumping force during use. In fact, during the construction process, as long as the asphalt mixing station is operated in accordance with regulations, and the accessories are cleaned and replaced in time, the asphalt mixing plant will generally not have insufficient pumping force. Now the editor of the asphalt mixing station manufacturer briefly introduces the common solutions to insufficient pumping force of asphalt mixing plant as follows.

The core of the asphalt mixing plant is its electronic control system. If it has problems, it will cause a lot of trouble to use. However, in actual use, the electronic control system in the asphalt mixing plant will inevitably encounter some problems and failures. How to solve it at this time?
If only the instrument display of the electronic control system of the asphalt mixing plant is inaccurate, it means that the weighing system may be affected by external forces; or the drift error of the sensor causes the weighing zero position or weighing interval to change; it may also be caused by sensor damage.

Asphalt mixing stations are constructed according to a certain process, which can not only ensure the construction quality, but also ensure that the asphalt mixing station is not damaged. Although construction details are critical, the key skills of asphalt mixing station construction must be mastered.
Before the construction of the asphalt mixing plant, the top surface of the asphalt mixing station construction range should be removed, and the site elevation should be kept dry and flat to meet the design requirements. If the surface is too soft, the foundation should be reinforced to prevent the construction machinery from losing stability and ensure that the pile frame is vertical.
Then the on-site construction machinery should be inspected to ensure that the machinery is intact and assembled and tested under the premise of meeting the requirements. To ensure the verticality of the asphalt mixing plant, the deviation of the gantry guide and the mixing shaft from the verticality of the ground shall not exceed 1.0%. Asphalt mixer manufacturer.

Main uses of asphalt mixing plant
Asphalt mixing plant, also called asphalt concrete mixing plant, can produce asphalt mixture, modified asphalt mixture, and colorful asphalt mixture, fully meeting the needs of constructing expressways, graded highways, municipal roads, airports, ports, etc.
The overall composition of asphalt mixing plant
Asphalt mixing equipment mainly consists of batching system, drying system, incineration system, hot material improvement, vibrating screen, hot material storage bin, weighing mixing system, asphalt supply system, powder supply system, dust removal system, product silo and control system, etc. Some composition.

Modified Bitumen

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.

When using the asphalt mixing plant, you should regularly check the fuel pressure regulating valve or pressure reducing valve to determine whether the surface of the locking nut on the adjustable bolt is clean and removable; if the surface of the screw or nut is too dirty or rusty, it needs to be repaired or Replace the regulating valve.
Check the oil pump regularly to determine whether the sealing device is intact and whether the internal pressure is stable, and replace any damaged or leaking sealing devices. When using hot oil, check whether all oil pipes are well insulated. The filter installed between the oil tank and the oil pump must be cleaned regularly and checked for excessive wear to ensure that the fuel reaches the oil pump smoothly from the oil tank and to reduce the possibility of potential component failure.

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.

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

In order to keep the asphalt mixing plant in a stable operating process, a series of adverse factors related to it must be excluded. What should be paid attention to in this process?
First of all, the selection of the delivery pump in the asphalt mixing plant must meet the requirements of asphalt pouring per unit time during construction, height, and horizontal distance requirements. At the same time, there must be a certain technical and production capacity reserve, and the balanced production capacity is preferably 1.2 to 1.5 times.
Secondly, the movement and hydraulic systems of the asphalt mixing plant must be normal, and there must be no abnormal sound and vibration to avoid large aggregates and lumps inside the equipment, otherwise it is easy to get stuck at the feed inlet of the mixing plant or be blocked due to arching. Another point is that when the asphalt mixing plant is in the same site, it is not suitable to use too many pumps and pumps from multiple manufacturers to avoid affecting its normal operation.

Asphalt mixing plant is a complete set of equipment composed of many systems. It is widely used in the current society. Its components include batching system, drying system, combustion system, hot material lifting, weighing and mixing system and control system.
In the process of asphalt mixing, heating is an indispensable link, because there must be a system for heating in the asphalt mixing station, but the system generally fails for various reasons. So how should the heating system of the asphalt mixing station be improved? This article will briefly explain this issue.
Generally speaking, when the asphalt mixing station is running under low temperature conditions, the asphalt circulation pump and spray pump cannot operate normally, which will cause the asphalt in the asphalt scale to solidify, and then the asphalt mixing station cannot be produced. Therefore, the asphalt mixing station needs a heating system during operation.

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.

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.

Bitumen, a black or brown petroleum-like material, has a viscosity ranging from a viscous liquid to a glassy solid. It can be obtained as a residue separated from natural deposits. Bitumen consists of hydrogen and carbon compounds with small amounts of nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen. The preparation of mixed materials for mixing with asphalt is done in several steps:
Prediction: According to the asphalt recipe, the individual components of the aggregate are weighed. Usually this is done using a belt scale, since the material must go to the next step in a continuous flow.

When an ordinary asphalt mixing station completes the mixing operation, it will cause great pollution to the surrounding environment. In order to solve this problem, environmentally friendly asphalt mixing equipment came into being. What are the characteristics of this type of equipment?

The asphalt mixing plant is a complete set of equipment for mass production of asphalt concrete. The whole machine of the equipment consists of multiple systems, such as batching system, drying system, combustion system, powder supply system and dust prevention system. Each system is an important part of the asphalt mixing plant.
The working condition of the combustion system of the asphalt mixing plant has a great impact on the whole system, which is related to the economic efficiency of the whole system, temperature control accuracy and flue gas emission indicators. This article will briefly introduce how to judge the working condition of the combustion system of the asphalt mixing plant.
Generally speaking, due to the complexity of the detection equipment and methods, there are no conditions to achieve in the working process of most asphalt mixing plants. Therefore, it is more convenient to judge the working condition by a series of relatively intuitive factors such as the color, brightness and shape of the flame. This method is very simple and effective.

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.

If you look at an asphalt mixing plant from a professional perspective, do you know how to judge its work and significance? In fact, the so-called asphalt mixing station is the one that produces asphalt. We can usually see it in road construction projects. Specifically, it mixes some materials that need to be used during the construction process according to certain proportion requirements. Then complete the corresponding construction work.
Then, we can analyze it from a market perspective. Since it was used in the market, it has been widely praised by users. Today’s asphalt mixing plant technology has been greatly improved, and the entire set of equipment used has a variety of advantages. , such as meeting the requirements of stable control, screening, efficient dust removal, excellent mixing, and green environmental protection during the work process. It is even more obvious when used in large-scale projects such as high-grade highways and airports.

The drying drum of the asphalt mixing plant should pay attention to daily inspection, correct operation and reasonable maintenance, so as to extend its service life and reduce the cost of engineering use.
1. Pay attention to daily inspection. Before the asphalt mixing plant officially works, the drying drum needs to be tested and inspected to see whether each pipeline is reliably connected, whether the lubrication of the whole machine is feasible, whether the motor can be started, whether the functions of each pressure valve are stable, whether the instrument is normal, etc.
2. Correct operation of the mixing station. At the beginning of the asphalt mixing plant, manual operation can only switch to automatic control after reaching the specified production capacity and discharge temperature. The aggregate should be dry and have a standard mode so that it can maintain a constant temperature when flowing through the drying drum. When the entire aggregate is sent to dry, the moisture content will change. At this time, the burner should be used frequently to compensate for the change in moisture. During the rolling stone processing, the amount of water directly formed is basically unchanged, the amount of combustion accumulation increases, and the amount of water in the deposited accumulation material may change.
3. Reasonable maintenance of the asphalt mixing plant. Aggregates should be deactivated when the asphalt mixing plant is not in operation. After work every day, the equipment should be operated to discharge the aggregate into the dryer. When the material in the hopper leaves the combustion chamber, the combustion chamber should be closed and allowed to idle for about 30 minutes to cool down, so as to reduce its impact or make the machine run in a straight line. Install the drying cylinder fixing ring on all rollers synchronously.
