Maintenance of asphalt spreader

Analysis of the necessity of emulsified bitumen equipment in modern road construction projects With the acceleration of the construction speed of transportation infrastructure, the construction standards are getting higher and higher, and higher requirements are also put forward for the use of emulsified bitumen in the closed layer of fly ash and the adhesive layer between the new and old ground.

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

Each F1 track must be paved with three layers of asphalt, middle and lower, of which the lowest layer is 10 cm coarse asphalt concrete bearing layer, its flatness is less than 8 mm; In the middle is a 4 cm medium grained asphalt concrete bond layer, its flatness is less than 5 mm; The top layer uses 4 cm modified asphalt mixture as the surface wear layer, and the flatness is less than 2 mm.

The paved F1 track cannot have more than 3 points per kilometer of flatness detection, which is much higher than the highway.

Asphalt mixture mixing equipment is a factory-style complete set of equipment that mixes dry and heated aggregates of different particle sizes, fillers and asphalt according to the designed mix ratio at a specified temperature into a uniform mixture. It is widely used in high-grade highways and urban roads. , airports, docks, parking lots and other engineering construction. It is a key equipment for asphalt pavement construction, and its performance directly affects the quality of asphalt pavement.
Generally, there are two types of asphalt concrete mixing equipment: intermittent type and continuous type. The continuous process flow is simple and the equipment is simplified. As for the intermittent forced mixing equipment, due to the secondary screening of aggregates, various components are measured in batches, and forced stirring and mixing can reliably ensure gradation, and the measurement of powder and asphalt can also achieve very high accuracy; so the mixing equipment The asphalt mixture produced is of high quality and can meet various construction requirements.

Recently, I found that many people don’t know much about the operation skills of asphalt pavement spreaders. If you also want to know what’s going on, you can read this introduction below.
Asphalt pavement spreaders are an indispensable and important equipment in road maintenance and construction. Their operation skills directly affect construction efficiency and project quality. The following introduces the operation skills of asphalt pavement spreaders from four aspects: pre-operation preparation, precautions during construction, spreading skills, and post-operation cleaning and maintenance:

Asphalt used to pave roads. It can be obtained by regular vacuum distillation of crude oil with appropriate properties, and can also be obtained by shallow oxidation of vacuum residue or propane deasphalting process. It can also be prepared by mixing asphalt of different duction and injection degree

Based on the characteristics of the high-speed hot mixed bitumen melting equipment, the direct heating bitumen melter equipment tank is a researched, environmentally friendly and energy-saving thermal mixed bitumen melting equipment, which can directly coordinate the temperature of the direct heating bitumen melter heating tank and protect the direct heating asphalt melter equipment. Barrel heating tank. The temperature of hot mixed asphalt barrels achieves the appropriate storage temperature.
When the water level in the drum is lower than the temperature of the thermometer, please close the suction valve before the drum pump is shut down to prevent the drum from flowing back in the heater. After the motor has been running for 2 days, the three-way valve opens quickly.

The asphalt spreading truck is an intelligent high-tech product that specializes in spreading emulsified asphalt, diluted asphalt, hot asphalt, heavy traffic asphalt and modified asphalt. It is used in highway construction and highway maintenance projects, and can be used for the construction of upper and lower seals, permeable layers, waterproof layers, bonding layers, asphalt surface treatment, asphalt penetration pavements, fog seals and other projects of different grades of highway pavements. , can also be used for the transportation of liquid asphalt or other heavy oil. So what are the advantages of Qiangguomeng’s asphalt spreader trucks?

The selection of asphalt melting equipment should take into account factors such as the use environment, working conditions, and technical requirements. Common ones include hot oil heating equipment, electric heating equipment, and gas heating equipment.
Hot oil heating equipment is suitable for occasions that require long-term heating and high temperature control accuracy;
Electric heating equipment is suitable for small projects or occasions where temperature control accuracy is not required;
Gas heating equipment has the advantages of simple operation and low cost, but safety protection measures must be strictly followed.
When choosing, it is also necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as economy and environmental protection.

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.

The bitumen (composition: asphaltene and resin) drum melting machine adopts a self-heating integrated structure, which integrates the thermal oil boiler used in the old asphalt drum melting machine and the barrel removal equipment itself, reducing the volume of the entire equipment and significantly It reduces equipment investment (actual significance: it is the accumulation of future profits), saves the space occupied by the equipment and the logistics cost of switching sites. The combustion chamber is placed inside the equipment itself, which greatly reduces thermal damage and improves heat utilization.

As we all know, emulsified bitumen is a single-component black viscous liquid that can combine the roadbed and the pavement to improve the performance and service life of the road. So what problems should be paid attention to when using emulsified bitumen? Let’s follow the editor of Sinoroader Group, an emulsified bitumen manufacturer, to learn about it.

As a manufacturer with many years of experience in emulsified bitumen construction, Sinoroader Group believes that everyone needs to pay attention to the following 2 points when using it:

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.

In modern highway maintenance work, how to repair asphalt pavement quickly and effectively has become one of the key issues. As an advanced repair technology, cold patching technology is very popular because of its convenient construction and remarkable effects.
What is the cold patching process?
Cold patching process, as the name suggests, refers to a technical method for repairing asphalt pavement without heating. This process uses a specially proportioned cold-patch asphalt mixture. This material can maintain good fluidity and adhesion even at lower temperatures, thus ensuring the quality of the repair.
Advantages of cold patching process
Fast construction: Cold patching materials can be directly applied to damaged areas without preheating, and are immediately open to traffic, greatly shortening repair time.
All-weather construction: Whether in hot summer or cold winter, cold patching materials can be effectively constructed and are not affected by the weather.
Easy to operate: Thanks to its good working properties, even small damaged areas can be repaired easily.
Environmentally friendly: The construction process reduces environmental pollution and is in line with the concept of green construction.
Application scenarios
The cold patching process is suitable for various types of pavement repair work, especially those places where traffic needs to be restored quickly, such as urban main roads, highway ramps, etc. In addition, the cold patching process is also an ideal choice for remote areas or situations where professional heating equipment is lacking.
In short, the cold patching process has occupied a place in the field of rapid repair of asphalt pavement with its unique advantages and has become an indispensable part of modern highway maintenance.

It can be obtained by regular vacuum distillation of crude oil with appropriate properties, and can also be obtained by shallow oxidation of vacuum residue or propane deasphalting process. It can also be prepared by mixing asphalt of different duction and injection degree

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.

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.

Whether it is the application of modified asphalt equipment or the application of other equipment, if you want to extend its service life, you need to do daily maintenance work. In order to better help everyone, we have modified asphalt The maintenance methods that can be adopted when using the equipment are introduced as follows:

Asphalt mixture is a kind of composite material, mainly composed of asphalt, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, mineral powder, some also added polymer and wood cellulose; By these different quality and quantity of materials mixed to form different structures, and have different mechanical properties

Emulsified asphalt can be spread by mechanical spreading and manual spreading. Different spreading methods will have different effects on pavement performance, so it is very important to choose the right spreading method. At the same time, maintenance and management after spreading are equally important to ensure the safety and durability of the pavement.
Emulsified asphalt is a common pavement material that is widely used in road construction and maintenance. There are two main ways to spread emulsified asphalt: mechanical spreading and manual spreading. Mechanical spreading generally uses a special spreading vehicle that can quickly and evenly spread emulsified asphalt. Manual spreading is carried out by workers using tools such as brushes or rollers, which is suitable for pavement treatment in small areas or special areas.
Different spreading methods also have different effects on pavement performance. Mechanical spreading can quickly complete large-area treatment and spread evenly, which is conducive to ensuring the flatness and anti-skid properties of the pavement. Manual spreading can more finely treat special areas such as shoulders and intersections to improve the overall performance of the pavement.

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.

All kinds of base layers have the problem of strength formation and growth (Emerson). The strength is gradually generated during the curing process, and the internal structure will become more and more dense. The test shows that when the semi-rigid base layer is sprayed with penetration oil before the cement (material: powdered water-hardening inorganic cementitious material) has not yet hardened, the penetration depth is deep; with the increase of age and strength, the penetration effect of the penetration oil is getting worse and worse.
At the same time, timely spreading of penetration oil has a good retention effect on the moisture in the base layer, preventing the evaporation of moisture, ensuring the formation of the strength of the base layer, and the surface of the base layer is not easy to loosen. The penetration oil also protects the semi-rigid base layer from cracking due to exposure to the sun. Furthermore, since the base layer is no longer covered and watered for curing, the temperature inside the base layer is high, which is conducive to the growth of strength.

Maintenance points of asphalt spreading trucks in different working hours
per month (or every 200 hours worked)；
​Per year (or every 500 hours worked)；
Every two years (or every 1,000 hours worked)；

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.

Modified (rubber powder) bitumen equipment, one of the road maintenance equipment. It is a kind of equipment that measures, mixes and develops SBS, rubber powder and asphalt.
Modified (rubber powder) bitumen equipment is a set of wet modification processing technology, which mainly consists of modified material metering and promotion, bitumen rapid heating, asphalt metering, high-intensity mixing tank, mixed material transfer pump, development tank, colloid mill, Control system and other components.

Asphalt spreading truck is a kind of black ground construction machinery. It is an important equipment in the logistics construction of roads, municipal roads, airports and ports. This equipment is mainly used to spray different types of asphalt on the ground to meet the construction requirements of different levels of ground oil permeable layer, sticky layer, left and right permeable layer, fog permeable layer, etc.

Asphalt spreader is used to spread the penetration oil, waterproof layer and bonding layer of the bottom layer of asphalt pavement of high-grade highway. It can also be used for the construction of county and township highway oil roads with 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.
Knowing how to properly operate and maintain the asphalt spreader can not only extend the service life of the equipment, but also enable the construction project to proceed smoothly. So what problems should the asphalt spreader pay attention to when working? The technicians of Gaoyuan Road Construction Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. give you tips:
1). Before use, please check whether the position of each valve is accurate and make preparations before work. After starting the motor of the asphalt spreader, check the four thermal oil valves and the pressure gauge. After everything is normal, start the engine and the power take-off starts to work. Test the asphalt pump and circulate for 5 minutes. If the pump head shell is hot, slowly close the thermal oil pump valve. If the heating is insufficient, the pump will not turn or make noise. In this case, the valve needs to be opened to continue heating the asphalt pump until it can operate normally. During the working process, the asphalt liquid must be kept at a working temperature of 160~180℃, and it cannot be filled too full (pay attention to the liquid level pointer during the injection of asphalt liquid, and check the tank mouth at any time). After the asphalt liquid is injected, the filling port must be closed tightly to prevent the asphalt liquid from overflowing during transportation.
2). During use, asphalt may not be pumped in. At this time, it is necessary to check whether the interface of the asphalt suction pipe is leaking. When the asphalt pump and pipeline are blocked by solidified asphalt, a blowtorch can be used for baking, and the pump must not be forced to turn. When baking, care should be taken to avoid directly baking the ball valve and rubber parts.
3). When spraying asphalt, the car should be driven at a low speed. Do not step on the accelerator hard, otherwise it may cause damage to the clutch, asphalt pump and other components. If 6m wide asphalt is spread, pay attention to obstacles on both sides at any time to prevent collision with the spreading pipe. At the same time, the asphalt should be kept in a large circulation state until the spreading work is completed. After the work is completed every day, if there is any remaining asphalt, it must be returned to the asphalt pool, otherwise it will solidify in the tank and cannot work next time.
4). In addition, the emulsifier must also pay attention to daily maintenance:
1. The emulsifier and delivery pump and other motors, agitators, and valves should be maintained daily.
2. The emulsifier should be cleaned after work every day.
3. The speed regulating pump used to control the flow should be regularly tested for accuracy, and adjusted and maintained in time. The asphalt emulsifier should regularly check the matching clearance between its stator and rotor. When the minimum clearance specified by the machine cannot be reached, the stator and rotor should be replaced.
4. If the equipment is out of use for a long time, the liquid in the tank and pipeline should be emptied (the emulsifier aqueous solution should not be stored for a long time), the hole covers should be tightly closed, kept clean, and the running parts should be filled with lubricating oil. When it is used for the first time or when it is used again after a long period of inactivity, the rust in the tank should be removed, and the water filter should be cleaned regularly.
5. Regularly check whether the terminal in the electric control cabinet is loose, whether the wires are worn during shipment, and remove dust to avoid damage to the machine parts. The frequency converter is a precision instrument. Please refer to the instruction manual for specific use and maintenance.
6. There is a heat transfer oil coil in the emulsifier water solution heating stirring tank. When injecting cold water into the water tank, the heat transfer oil switch should be turned off first, and then the switch should be turned on to heat after adding the required amount of water. Pouring cold water directly into the high-temperature heat transfer oil pipeline can easily cause the weld to crack.

With the rapid development of highway construction and the increase in demand for asphalt, barreled bitumen has been widely used for its convenient transportation and easy storage. In particular, most of the high-performance imported bitumen used in high-grade highways is in barrel form, which requires an bitumen melter equipment with fast melting speed, clean debarreling, and prevention of asphalt aging.
The upper part of the debarreler of the bitumen melter equipment is hotter, and each barrel is directly heated by the heat transfer oil coil. The barrel wall directly bears the heat radiation of the heating coil. The asphalt is cleanly and sensitively debarreled, and there will be no waste of asphalt hanging barrels. According to the principle of layered heating, four-layer heating technology is adopted, with single inlet and single outlet of heat transfer oil, and high thermal efficiency of heating; at the same time, the waste heat of combustion exhaust gas is used for secondary heating, and power is effectively used; the debarreler body is insulated with high-quality rock wool material. It is suitable for various types of imported and domestic barrels, and the deformation of asphalt barrels will not affect production.
