Land selection for environmentally friendly asphalt mixing plants

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 plug valve is a rotary valve in the shape of a closure or plunger. After rotating 90 degrees, the channel opening on the valve plug is the same as or separated from the channel opening on the valve body to complete opening or closing. It is widely used in oilfield excavation, transportation and refining equipment, and such valves are also needed in asphalt mixing plants.
The valve plug of the plug valve in the asphalt mixing plant can be cylindrical or conical. In the cylindrical valve plug, the channel is generally rectangular; in the conical valve plug, the channel is trapezoidal. These shapes make the structure of the plug valve light and very suitable for blocking and connecting media and diversion.

1: The site should be located on higher ground and away from residential areas and densely populated areas.
Because part of the equipment of the mixing station is installed below the ground, in order to avoid continuous rainfall. The equipment will suffer disaster, and the changing aggregate moisture content will affect the concrete quality. Quality accidents are prone to occur. Therefore, during site construction, attention should be paid to the construction of drainage pipelines and sand and gravel quarries. With the rapid development of cities. With the continuous expansion of urban scale, environmental protection requirements will become more and more stringent. Urban roads prohibit gravel vehicles from passing, so concrete mixing plants should be built far away from urban areas.

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.
In order to prevent the asphalt mixer from moving during work, the equipment should be placed in a flat position as much as possible, and at the same time, use square wood to pad the front and rear axles so that the tires are elevated. At the same time, the asphalt mixer must be provided with secondary leakage protection, and it can only be started after the inspection, trial operation and other aspects are qualified.

Asphalt mixing equipment has a special function, which is that it can perform cyclic heating to make the asphalt product reach the best condition. But how does it achieve this function? Everyone is curious about this.

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.

After use, asphalt mixing equipment needs to be disassembled, cleaned, and maintained before it can be saved for next use. Not only is the disassembly process of the equipment important, but the previous preparation work also has a greater impact, so it cannot be neglected. Please pay attention to the detailed introduction below for specific content.

Judging from the situation of highways in our country, asphalt pavement is the most used, which is one of the reasons why asphalt mixing plants have developed so rapidly. Under the situation of rapid economic development, the quality problems of asphalt pavement are gradually increasing, which puts forward higher and higher requirements for the quality of asphalt. It is understood that the primary factor that affects the quality of asphalt is the ratio of raw materials. This is also covered in the introduction of asphalt mixing stations. You can discuss it together.
In order to obtain high-quality asphalt products, in addition to the asphalt mixing equipment meeting the requirements, selecting the appropriate asphalt mixture gradation type is also a top priority. According to my country’s current regulations, the maximum particle size of the asphalt mixture in the upper layer of the highway should not exceed half of the layer thickness; while the maximum particle size of the aggregate in the middle surface layer of asphalt mixture should not exceed two-thirds of the layer thickness; and the asphalt layer should not exceed half of the layer thickness. The maximum nominal aggregate size of the pavement structural layer mixture should not exceed one-third of the layer thickness.
Based on this analysis, if an asphalt surface layer with a certain thickness is selected according to the above specifications, the particle size of the asphalt mixture aggregates will generally be larger, which will inevitably bring insurmountable construction difficulties to the construction of asphalt concrete pavement. After investigation, testing, analysis, and comparison, it can be seen that the lower layer has a wider choice, so the AG-201 gradation type can be used; while the selection of the upper layer mixture type is more difficult, and it is necessary to achieve a reasonable choice of this mix ratio. , on the one hand, we must examine as many aggregate resources as possible, and on the other hand, we must also consider the model of the mixing equipment.
In order to ensure the quality of the project, strict selection and inspection of engineering materials must be carried out. Therefore, the selection and determination of raw materials should be based on the requirements for pavement structure and use quality, combined with the supply of floor materials, and inspection in accordance with the requirements of relevant test procedures, and then Select the best materials so that all technical indicators of the materials meet the specified technical requirements.

Asphalt mixing stations, also known as asphalt concrete mixing stations, can produce asphalt mixtures, modified asphalt mixtures, and colored asphalt mixtures, which fully meet the needs of building highways, grade roads, municipal roads, airports, ports, etc. Changmeng Electric Power introduces the safety operating procedures of asphalt mixing plants below:
1. During the operation of the mixing equipment, in addition to ensuring that the 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 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 determining fuel consumption. Additional material sheds should be added.
3. Before operation, all working parts and devices of the mixing equipment should be fully checked to see if they are intact and normal. If there are any problems, they must be properly handled before operation, and it is forbidden to operate with illness.
4. The operation must be carried out strictly in accordance with the procedures and precautions specified in the instruction manual. After normal ignition, the dust collector should be monitored to ensure that the drying drum burns under negative pressure; after production starts, the hot material elevator and agitator should be monitored to see if they are working normally to coordinate the operation of other parts.

Asphalt concrete mixing equipment generally uses conveyor belt conveyors to transport cold materials. Its main advantages are large conveying capacity, continuous operation, simple equipment structure and automatic control. However, belt deviation is a common fault, which directly affects the drying operation of the drying drum and also affects the production efficiency of the mixing equipment. Therefore, it is very important for the asphalt mixing station to solve the belt deviation problem at the operation site of the asphalt concrete mixing equipment.

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.

The drive unit is one of the important components of the asphalt mixing plant, so whether it can be reliably operated must be highly valued to avoid adverse effects on the entire asphalt mixing plant. In order to ensure that the drive unit in the asphalt mixing plant is indeed complete and reliable, the following maintenance measures are essential.
The first thing to pay attention to is the universal rotating part of the drive unit of the asphalt mixing plant. This part has always been a fault-prone part. In order to reduce the occurrence of faults, grease should be added on time, and the wear should be checked frequently, and repaired and replaced in time. Users should also prepare the universal shaft assembly to avoid affecting the working process of the entire asphalt mixer.
Secondly, the cleanliness of the hydraulic oil used in the asphalt mixing plant must be ensured. After all, the working environment of the equipment is relatively harsh, so it is necessary to prevent sewage and mud from entering the hydraulic system. The hydraulic oil should also be replaced regularly according to the requirements of the manual. Once water or mud is found mixed in the hydraulic oil during inspection, the hydraulic system should be stopped immediately to clean the hydraulic system and replace the hydraulic oil.
Since there is a hydraulic system, of course, a matching cooling device is also required, which is also an important focus in the drive system of the asphalt mixing plant. To ensure that its function can be fully exerted, on the one hand, the hydraulic oil radiator should be cleaned regularly to prevent the radiator from being blocked by cement; on the other hand, the radiator electric fan should be checked to see if it is running normally to prevent the hydraulic oil temperature from exceeding the standard.
In general, as long as the hydraulic oil of the asphalt mixing plant drive device is kept clean, there are generally few faults; but the service life varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, so pay attention to its alkalinity observation and replace it in real time.

Mechanism to avoid asphalt damage in asphalt mixing plant
1. Asphalt operators should undergo physical examination. Anyone suffering from conjunctivitis, skin disease or allergic reaction to asphalt should not engage in asphalt work.
2. Asphalt operators must apply protective ointment on exposed parts of their skin, and a first aid kit should be provided on the construction site.
3. The factory uniforms and protective equipment of asphalt operators are stored in a centralized manner and are prohibited from being worn home or entering collective dormitories.
4. The transfer of lumpy asphalt should usually be carried out at night and on cloudy days, especially during hot seasons. Small machinery should be used for loading and unloading, and it should not be lifted and transported directly by hand.

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 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.

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.

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

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.

Asphalt mixing plant, also known as asphalt concrete mixing plant, is a complete set of equipment for batch production of asphalt concrete. Its efficient and stable operation is of great significance to ensure the quality of the project. It is mainly used in the construction of highways, grade roads, municipal roads, airports, ports and other projects. According to the mixing method, asphalt mixing plant can be divided into forced intermittent type and continuous production type; according to the transportation method, it can be divided into fixed type, semi-fixed type and mobile type.
The working principle of asphalt mixing plant mainly includes steps such as aggregate processing, asphalt processing and mixture mixing. Specifically, aggregates (such as gravel, crushed stone, etc.) are sent to aggregate bins through conveyors or bucket elevators, and then measured by aggregate metering devices, and a certain amount of aggregates are sent to sub-bins. Asphalt is stored in asphalt bins or oil storage tanks, and is measured by asphalt metering devices, and a certain amount of asphalt is sent to asphalt sub-bins. Finally, according to the ratio requirements, different aggregates are taken out from their respective sub-bins and sent to the mixture mixer through conveyors or bucket elevators for mixing.

The HMA-B series forced asphalt mixing plant can produce reliable quality asphalt in various proportions. The product technology is mature, the operation is stable, the specifications are complete, the efficiency is high, the output is large, and the finished asphalt quality is good. It is suitable for various sizes and This type of road construction project has more obvious advantages in larger-scale road construction projects and high-grade highway construction projects.

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 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.

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.

When using an asphalt mixing plant, first of all, it needs to have good stability. If it does not have good stability, then the asphalt mixing plant will not be able to meet the requirements of the project in terms of requirements or mass production. For road construction, the measurement requirements of asphalt concrete are relatively strict and precise. Only qualified asphalt concrete can make the quality of road construction meet the actual requirements. Therefore, the stability of the asphalt mixing plant is very important.
Secondly, the requirements for the asphalt mixing plant when in use are that the equipment should be as simple as possible on the basis of having all the required functions, and the overall operation should be reduced as much as possible. This can save a lot of manpower input during operation and save corresponding costs. Although it is simple, it does not mean that the technological content of the asphalt mixing plant needs to be reduced.
The above are the requirements that the asphalt mixing plant needs to meet when in use, because if each equipment wants its working effect to achieve the expected appearance, the equipment itself needs to have corresponding conditions. It must be a qualified and convenient equipment to ensure the efficiency and quality of the work.

The materials used in asphalt mixtures contain a lot of dust. When the equipment is operating, if the dust enters the atmosphere, it will cause pollution. Therefore, dust removal equipment must be installed, and now bag dust removal is the main method. Safety is a common sense issue. There are well-established standard safety rules.
Do not clean, oil or adjust any mechanical equipment that is not specifically explained during operation; turn off the power and lock it before inspection or repair activities to prepare for accidents. Because each situation has its own particularity. Therefore, be vigilant about safety damage issues, incorrect operation issues and other deficiencies. All of them may lead to accidents, personal injuries, reduced production efficiency, and more importantly, loss of life. Careful and early prevention is the best way to avoid accidents.
Careful and correct maintenance can make the equipment work more efficiently and control it within a certain level of pollution; the maintenance of each component should be carried out according to its operating standards; maintenance plans and safe operation procedures should be formulated according to the inspection and repair conditions that must be carried out.
Take out a work log to record all inspection and repair conditions, list the analysis of each inspection of each component and the description of the repair content or the date of the repair; the second step is to give the inspection cycle for each component, which should be determined according to the service life and wear condition of each component.

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.

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.
