Installation of main equipment of asphalt mixing plant

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.

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.

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.

Determining the material is a necessary stage in the design process of asphalt mixing equipment, and it is also one of the most critical links, because the material will be directly related to the use effect and service life of the entire equipment. Generally, when we determine the machine material, we usually base it on the characteristics of the working medium, and the same is certainly true for asphalt mixing equipment.

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.

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 recent years, asphalt pavement has dominated highway surfaces. With the rapid development of our country’s national economy, highway traffic volume is increasing, axle loads are increasing rapidly, vehicle speeds are increasing, and there are more and more quality problems occurring on asphalt pavements. Some are damaged after repair, and some have a service life of up to Less than design age. This has put forward increasingly higher requirements for the quality of asphalt pavement, and an important factor affecting the performance of asphalt surface layers is the gradation composition of the mixture. This article discusses the mix design of asphalt mixture.

The basic working principle of the green asphalt mixing plants can be roughly summarized in the following ways:
To put it simply, an asphalt plant is actually a set of equipment that can mix several materials according to a predetermined ratio to form a relatively uniform mixture. It is currently widely used and is very important for the construction of different projects. Its performance Various aspects also have a great impact on the engineering quality of asphalt pavement.
Asphalt mixing plant equipment is usually divided into two structures. The intermittent type is relatively more complex in structure and process. The aggregates need to be screened twice and then measured in batches. The batching accuracy is higher. , the mixing quality is good and can meet different construction requirements. The continuous type has a slightly lower accuracy due to its simple structure and simplified operating procedures.

In the construction industry, the installation and application of asphalt mixing plants can often be seen. This kind of equipment can complete the processing process of limestone and other powder products. The equipment has a reasonable structure and high working efficiency. It can save more costs for manufacturers during the production of asphalt raw materials. Therefore, the construction and other industries now attach great importance to the application of this equipment. During the production and processing of the equipment, the staff also need to pay attention to several operating skills to ensure that the equipment can operate stably and provide more benefits for production work.

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.

At present, the production efficiency of asphalt mixing plants in my country’s asphalt construction is far lower than the theoretical efficiency at the time of design. The low efficiency of organic waste gas treatment will not only delay the construction process and cause a waste of resources, but also the quality of the construction will not be very good. guarantee. In the construction of asphalt pavement, the main reasons for the low production efficiency of the asphalt plant are insufficient supply of mixture, resulting in loss of continuity of construction, improper equipment parameter settings, excessive overflow and other problems. Effective measures must be taken to deal with these problems, and ultimately improve production efficiency and ensure construction quality.

When we operate the asphalt mixing station, we should heat the equipment half an hour in advance, and the clear tank should be heated for at least two hours; and manually operate each part of the equipment to ensure that it is in good operation. status; it is also necessary to conduct relevant inspections on the valves and manually collect and return oil to ensure that the equipment can operate normally.
Several requirements for safe operation of asphalt mixing plants:

Asphalt mixing stations and equipment must implement secondary leakage protection measures. They can only be used after being plugged in and operated through the circuit breaker before use. During the trial operation, it is necessary to verify that the rotational speed of the mixing drum will be inappropriate.

Modified Bitumen

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.

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:

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 drying and heating system of the asphalt mixing plant can be regarded as an important part of the whole, so in actual work, it treats the material in a countercurrent heating manner, thereby achieving full dehydration of the cold aggregate, and heating it to a certain temperature, thereby providing the necessary conditions for the normal and continuous operation of the asphalt mixing plant.
During the entire heating process of the asphalt mixing plant, the main purpose is to make the performance of the mixture more in line with the requirements of use, and to make the finished material have good paving performance. Under normal circumstances, the heating temperature of the aggregate is about 160℃-180℃.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The quality of the asphalt mixing plant will be a key factor affecting the quality of the project. After reviewing relevant materials related to the production and construction of asphalt concrete, we summarized some cases of failures in asphalt concrete mixing stations during construction and analyzed the reasons.
1. Unstable output and low production efficiency of asphalt mixing plants
(1) Improper proportioning. The mix ratio of asphalt concrete is divided into target mix ratio and production mix ratio. Among them, the target mix ratio controls the cold material transportation ratio of sand and gravel materials, and the production mix ratio is the mixing ratio of various types of sand and stone materials in the finished asphalt concrete materials specified in the design. The production mix ratio is determined by the laboratory, which directly determines the off-site grading standard of the finished asphalt concrete. The target mix ratio is set to further ensure the production mix ratio, and can be adjusted appropriately during production according to the actual situation. When the target mix ratio or the production mix ratio is not appropriate, the stones stored in each measurement of the asphalt mixing station will be disproportionate, with some overflowing and some other materials, unable to be weighed in time, and the mixing cylinder will be idling, resulting in reduced output.

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.

[1]. Composition of intermittent asphalt mixing plant
The intermittent asphalt mixing plant mainly consists of cold material silo, cold material distribution system, cold material conveying system, combustion and drying system, ventilation and dust removal system, hot material elevator, vibrating screen, hot material silo, powder conveying system and asphalt conveying system. System, metering system, mixing cylinder, control system, finished material transportation and storage system, asphalt heating and insulation system, etc.
2. Discussing the phenomenon of warehouse cascading in asphalt concrete mixing plants
2.1 First, let’s introduce the structure and principle of vibrating screen. The main components include: RetentionRubber, SupportTube, vibrating screen drive system and supporting electrical components
The working principle is introduced as follows: hot aggregate is sent to the vibrating screen through the hot aggregate elevator, and the hot aggregate is vibrated and screened by the vibrating screen. Stones of different specifications enter their corresponding hot aggregate bins through the screen and cannot pass through the geotechnical work. The super-sized particles from the cloth screen enter the overflow bin and are sent out.

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.
