Maintenance tips for asphalt mixing plants

Construction safety has always been a major issue, and we cannot let any safety hazard go unnoticed. Especially the use of equipment at the construction site. Asphalt mixing stations are prone to failure. Strengthening the maintenance of this equipment is essential to ensure safe construction at the construction site, improve equipment integrity, reduce equipment failures, and ensure the quality of concrete. The role of neglect.
The composition of the asphalt mixing plant is relatively complex, so during maintenance, classified maintenance should be carried out according to the usage and functions of different parts. Maintenance content can be divided into tank maintenance, winch system maintenance and adjustment, stroke limiter adjustment and maintenance, wire rope and pulley maintenance, lifting hopper maintenance, track and track bracket maintenance, etc.

Construction safety has always been a major issue, and we cannot let any safety hazard go unnoticed. Especially the use of equipment at the construction site. Asphalt mixing stations are prone to failure. Strengthening the maintenance of this equipment is essential to ensure safe construction at the construction site, improve equipment integrity, reduce equipment failures, and ensure the quality of concrete. The role of neglect.
The composition of the asphalt mixing plant is relatively complex, so during maintenance, classified maintenance should be carried out according to the usage and functions of different parts. Maintenance content can be divided into tank maintenance, winch system maintenance and adjustment, stroke limiter adjustment and maintenance, wire rope and pulley maintenance, lifting hopper maintenance, track and track bracket maintenance, etc.
Among them, the tank is a device that is prone to wear and tear and needs to be maintained more frequently. Frequently used parts such as liners, blades, mixing arms and material door seals should be adjusted and replaced in time according to wear and tear. After mixing the concrete in the asphalt mixing station, the tank must be flushed in time, and the remaining concrete in the tank and the concrete adhering to the material door must be thoroughly flushed to prevent the concrete in the tank from solidifying. The flexibility of opening and closing the material door should be checked frequently to prevent the material door from getting stuck. The thick oil pump is operated twice per shift to supply oil to the shaft end of the tank to lubricate the bearings and discharge sand, water, etc. During the maintenance process, the power supply must be cut off and personnel must be assigned to take care of it to avoid accidents. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the tank before starting the machine each time, and it is strictly prohibited to start the host with load.
The winch system of the asphalt mixing plants will affect the work efficiency and ensure that the hopper can operate correctly to the appropriate position when needed at the construction site. The large nut on the back seat of the motor can be adjusted to adjust the power torque. Remove the connecting screw between the lock nut and the fan brake, retreat the lock nut to the appropriate position, move the rotor to the extreme position toward the shaft end, and then Move the fan brake backward so that the brake ring fits the inner conical surface of the rear cover. Tighten the locking nut until it contacts the end surface of the fan brake. Then screw it in one turn and tighten the connecting screw. If there is abnormal braking in the hopper, move the locking nut back to the appropriate position, and then tighten the hexagon socket bolt at that end clockwise. If the machine is stuck when starting the lifting motor, move the locking nut back to the appropriate position first, and then tighten the hexagon socket bolt clockwise. Loosen the hexagon socket bolt at this end, lengthen the inner brake distance, and then tighten the locking nut.
For the limiter, we should regularly check whether there are abnormal connections, different lines, etc. These conditions will affect whether the asphalt mixing station can operate safely. Regular maintenance and inspection of asphalt mixing plants can not only ensure project quality, but also reduce project costs and improve construction efficiency.

    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.

    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.
