It is urgent to strengthen the awareness of road maintenance

According to statistics, among the high-grade highways that have been built and opened to traffic in my country, about 80% are asphalt pavements. However, with the development of time, the influence of various climatic and environmental factors, and the high-intensity driving load, the asphalt pavement will have different degrees of degradation or damage. Pavement maintenance is to take effective technical means to slow down this degradation, so that the pavement can provide good service quality during its service life.

According to statistics, among the high-grade highways that have been built and opened to traffic in my country, about 80% are asphalt pavements. However, with the development of time, the influence of various climatic and environmental factors, and the high-intensity driving load, the asphalt pavement will have different degrees of degradation or damage. Pavement maintenance is to take effective technical means to slow down this degradation, so that the pavement can provide good service quality during its service life.
It is understood that a company in the United States has concluded through tracking research on hundreds of thousands of kilometers of highways of different grades and a large number of maintenance and repair practices that every one yuan of preventive maintenance funds invested can save 3-10 yuan of later corrective maintenance funds. The results of a strategic research plan for American highways also show that if 3-4 preventive maintenance is carried out during the entire pavement service life, 45%-50% of the later maintenance costs can be saved. In my country, it has always been “focusing on construction and neglecting maintenance”, which has largely led to a large number of early damages on the pavement, failing to meet the service level required by the design, increasing the traffic operation costs of road use, and causing bad social impacts. Therefore, relevant highway management departments must pay attention to highway maintenance issues, prevent and reduce various road diseases, so as to ensure that our roads have good service quality.

    From the current point of view, road construction machinery has bottomed out and asphalt meltering equipment has risen rapidly. In recent years, highway construction and maintenance departments have a strong awareness of using asphalt mixing equipment, especially in developed coastal areas such as Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, etc. In addition, these regions have a fast economic growth rate, relatively developed industry, and strong comprehensive economic strength. Therefore, the consumption of asphalt mixing equipments in these regions has always been at the forefront of the country. With the rapid development of highway construction and the increase in demand for asphalt, barreled asphalt has been widely used for its convenient transportation and easy storage. In particular, most of the high-performance imported asphalt used in high-grade highways is in barrel form, which requires an asphalt meltering equipment with fast melting speed, clean de-barreling, and can prevent asphalt aging. my country’s highway construction has achieved remarkable results, among which mechanized production has contributed greatly. Different types of asphalt mixers and bitumen meltering equipment are selected for the characteristics of large highway pavement construction and tight construction period. With the rapid development of my country’s economy, the further extension of expressways, and the large-scale development of western construction, the central and western regions have become new investment hotspots. While paying attention to the market in the developed eastern regions, domestic road construction machinery manufacturers have also increased their efforts to develop the central and western markets, creating new highlights for the domestic asphalt mixing plants consumer market. In summary, my country’s asphalt mixing plant sales market has begun to move westward with the westward movement of investment hotspots. As the market center of gravity gradually shifts westward, the market in the western region is gradually heating up. The self-heating integrated structure, hot air barrel melting and bitumen barrel flipping technology in the asphalt barrel removal equipment are our company’s self-heating integrated structure. The thermal oil furnace used in the old equipment is perfectly integrated with the asphalt barrel removal equipment body, which reduces the volume of the entire set of equipment, greatly reduces equipment investment, saves equipment space and transfer transportation costs.

    Emulsified modified asphalt equipment is classified according to the production process and can be divided into three types: intermittent emulsified modified asphalt equipment, semi-continuous emulsified modified asphalt equipment, and continuous emulsified modified asphalt equipment. During the production of emulsified modified asphalt equipment, demulsifier, acid, water, and latex modified materials are blended in a soap mixing tank, and then pumped into the asphalt into the colloid mill. After a can of soap is used up, the soap is redispensed, and then the production of the next can is completed.
    The emulsified modified asphalt equipment mentioned here includes hot water pumps and circulation pumps. This type of centrifugal water pump generally uses a pipeline centrifugal pump. There is a sewage outlet at the bottom of the pipeline centrifugal pump. Pay attention to the sewage outlet at the bottom of the emulsified modified asphalt equipment pump. The water in the water tank is released through the filter valve. Some emulsified modified asphalt equipment does not have a filter valve to save equipment costs, so it can only be emptied by loosening the flange bolts at the bottom. There are basically two methods of moisturizing emulsion pumps for emulsified modified asphalt equipment on the market, gear oil pumps or centrifugal water pumps. The gear oil pump can only drain the liquid in the pump through the connecting flange of the pipeline. The centrifugal water pump carries out sewage treatment through its own sewage outlet.
    When used in the production of emulsified modified asphalt equipment, depending on the modified material technology, the latex pipeline can be connected in front of the colloid mill or behind the colloid mill, or there may be no latex pipeline and it must be made manually. Add the required amount of latex into the soap jar.
