Measures to save energy and reduce consumption in asphalt mixing plants

Many people think that since both asphalt mixing plants and asphalt mixing plants are equipment for producing asphalt, there should be no difference between them, even if there is, it is only in appearance and volume. However, asphalt mixing plants and asphalt mixing plants are different in even their basic structure and function.
First, let me introduce the basic structure of an asphalt mixing plant, which includes five major components: material supply system, metering system, mixing system, and electrical control system. In comparison, the structure of an asphalt mixing plant is simpler, without so many components, so its operation and maintenance will be simpler.

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:

Asphalt mixing equipment is also divided into fixed and mobile types. There are still big differences between the two to a certain extent. Let’s take a look at the design of mobile asphalt mixing equipment. What advantages can bring to the equipment?

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 mixing plant is one of the main equipment for producing asphalt concrete. It can mix asphalt, gravel, cement and other materials together in a certain proportion to obtain the products required for highway construction. In order to ensure its operating effect, the asphalt mixer plant also needs to be powered on for trial operation before it is officially put into work.
At the beginning of the test run, first run a single motor, and at the same time check whether the current, steering, insulation and mechanical transmission parts are operating normally. After confirming that each motor and mechanical transmission parts are operating correctly, conduct a joint trial run. During the entire process, it is necessary to conduct patrol inspections of key parts. If any abnormal noise is found, the cause should be identified and eliminated in a timely manner.

People pay more and more attention to urban construction, and the use of asphalt is increasing. The application rate of asphalt mixing station is naturally growing rapidly.
Asphalt mixing station will encounter some faults more or less during use. The most common ones are uneven wear of the supporting wheel and wheel rail. Sometimes there will be some abnormal noise and gnawing. The main reason for this is that after the asphalt mixing station has been working for a period of time, the internal drying cylinder will be subjected to high temperature, and then friction will occur between the supporting wheel and wheel rail.
The above situation will also be accompanied by severe shaking, because the asphalt mixing station will directly cause the gap between the wheel rail and the supporting wheel to be improperly adjusted under the action of the drying material, or the mutual position of the two will be skewed. When encountering this situation, the user should add grease to the surface contact position of the supporting wheel and the wheel rail after daily operation.
In addition, the staff also need to pay attention to and timely adjust the tightness of the fixing nut while adding grease, and then effectively adjust the spacing between the supporting wheel and the wheel rail, so that the asphalt mixing station can work smoothly, all contact points can be evenly stressed, and there will be no shaking.

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.

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 stations are constructed according to a certain process, which can not only ensure the construction quality, but also ensure that the asphalt mixing station is not damaged. Although construction details are critical, the key skills of asphalt mixing station construction must be mastered.
Before the construction of the asphalt mixing plant, the top surface of the asphalt mixing station construction range should be removed, and the site elevation should be kept dry and flat to meet the design requirements. If the surface is too soft, the foundation should be reinforced to prevent the construction machinery from losing stability and ensure that the pile frame is vertical.
Then the on-site construction machinery should be inspected to ensure that the machinery is intact and assembled and tested under the premise of meeting the requirements. To ensure the verticality of the asphalt mixing plant, the deviation of the gantry guide and the mixing shaft from the verticality of the ground shall not exceed 1.0%. Asphalt mixer manufacturer.

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.

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.

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℃.

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. If it is stuck, if it is a circuit failure, first check whether the motor control inverter of the asphalt mixing station is faulty and whether the line is connected or open.

The asphalt mixing plant is a complete set of equipment for mass production of asphalt concrete. The whole machine of the equipment consists of multiple systems, such as batching system, drying system, combustion system, powder supply system and dust prevention system. Each system is an important part of the asphalt mixing plant.
The working condition of the combustion system of the asphalt mixing plant has a great impact on the whole system, which is related to the economic efficiency of the whole system, temperature control accuracy and flue gas emission indicators. This article will briefly introduce how to judge the working condition of the combustion system of the asphalt mixing plant.
Generally speaking, due to the complexity of the detection equipment and methods, there are no conditions to achieve in the working process of most asphalt mixing plants. Therefore, it is more convenient to judge the working condition by a series of relatively intuitive factors such as the color, brightness and shape of the flame. This method is very simple and effective.

Emulsion bitumen equipment has stable product quality, closed material transmission, high degree of automation and civilized production, and is easy to standardize management. The double-mill configuration can be used to produce modified emulsified asphalt.
At present, emulsified asphalt equipment is widely used in new technologies and processes for preventive maintenance, such as fog seal, slurry seal, micro-surfacing, cold regeneration, crushed stone seal, cold mix and cold patch materials.
Emulsion bitumen equipment is an emulsion at room temperature formed by dispersing asphalt into the water phase. It is a new material for the use of elements. Compared with traditional hot asphalt, it saves more than 50% of energy and 10%-20% of asphalt, and has little pollution. The biggest feature of emulsified asphalt is that it can be stored at room temperature. It does not need to be heated during spraying and mixing, nor does it need to heat the stone. Therefore, it greatly simplifies the construction, avoids burns and scalds caused by hot asphalt, and avoids the fumigation of asphalt steam when paving high-temperature mixtures. It is very popular among road maintenance workers.

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 plant is one of the main equipment for producing asphalt concrete. It can mix asphalt, gravel, cement and other materials together in a certain proportion to obtain the products required for highway construction. In order to ensure its operating effect, the asphalt mixing plant also needs to be powered on for trial operation before it is officially put into work.
The first step in commissioning is to run a single motor and check whether the current, steering, insulation and mechanical transmission parts are operating normally. After confirming that each motor and mechanical transmission parts are operating correctly, conduct a joint trial run. During the entire process, it is necessary to conduct patrol inspections of key parts. If any abnormal noise is found, the cause should be identified and eliminated in a timely manner.

How should the working efficiency of asphalt mixing plant be improved? Let’s take a brief look.
1. Parameter setting. When using asphalt mixing plant to produce asphalt, the temperature of the hot pot can be observed through the temperature controller, but there is a certain difference between the information displayed by the temperature controller and the actual temperature. The generation of this error does not have much impact on the processing quality. If the information entered by the staff when setting the temperature is accurate, there will be no problems with the produced asphalt. It can be seen that the setting of parameters requires more attention.
2. Pay attention to avoid moisture in the equipment. When transporting and storing the asphalt mixing plant, pay attention to avoid moisture in the equipment, because there are many circuit devices inside it, if moisture, it may cause quality problems or even damage. This is also an important point to consider to improve production efficiency.
3. When installing and using the asphalt mixing plant, pay attention to whether the equipment is grounded. Before starting the equipment, it must be preheated in time so that the temperature standard can be reached within a shorter time range, so as to enter the normal asphalt production process.

In the 21st century, with the booming development of modern engineering construction, complex integrated supporting equipment has been invested in large quantities. Its complex process and more independent operating components have relatively high requirements for the performance of its equipment control system. The application of PLC in asphalt mixing station realizes the control of the entire process of asphalt mixing station, which facilitates the construction of modern engineering construction. Therefore, this article discusses and analyzes the application of PLC in asphalt mixing station, which has certain economic value and practical significance.

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.

Main uses of asphalt mixing plant
Asphalt mixing plant, also called asphalt concrete mixing plant, can produce asphalt mixture, modified asphalt mixture, and colorful asphalt mixture, fully meeting the needs of constructing expressways, graded highways, municipal roads, airports, ports, etc.
The overall composition of asphalt mixing plant
Asphalt mixing equipment mainly consists of batching system, drying system, incineration system, hot material improvement, vibrating screen, hot material storage bin, weighing mixing system, asphalt supply system, powder supply system, dust removal system, product silo and control system, etc. Some composition.

For road construction machinery, the following is mainly about the asphalt mixer in road construction machinery equipment. Because it is the key product of Wuxi road construction machinery manufacturers, it is necessary to carry out comprehensive training and mastery, so as to ensure meticulousness and practicality, and not ignore any knowledge points.
1. In road construction machinery, is there any difference between asphalt mixing equipment and asphalt concrete mixing equipment?
The answer given by Sinoroader Group manufacturer to this question is no, that is, there is no difference between asphalt mixing equipment and asphalt concrete mixing equipment. They refer to the same type of equipment, but they are different in name. It can be said that they are two names for the same type of equipment, and there is no difference in essence.
2. During the operation of the asphalt mixer, there is a sound in the mixing pot. What’s the matter?
In the view of Sinoroader Group, there are two answers to this question. One is that the mixer arm on the asphalt mixer is not good or damaged. The second is that the wear-resistant lining in the mixer is damaged, which leads to this problem.
3. What are the dust removal devices in the asphalt mixing equipment?
In the asphalt mixing equipment, for its dust removal device, Sinoroader Group believes that the key is to use the dry ash removal method, because it can facilitate the collection of raw materials. In terms of its dust removal equipment type, there are filter dust removal equipment, centrifugal fan dust removal equipment and force dust removal equipment, etc., which can all be used well.
For the asphalt mixer and asphalt mixing equipment in road construction machinery, I believe that through the practical discussion of the above relevant content, everyone can master it well and master it, so that in practice, they can have new gains and benefit a lot from it.

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.

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.

Effective maintenance of the drying drum of the asphalt mixing plant can extend its service life and reduce the cost of use. Let’s take a look at how to maintain it reasonably.
1. The drying drum should be stopped when the aggregate is not running in the asphalt mixing equipment. After the work is over every day, the equipment should be operated to discharge the aggregate into the dryer. After closing the combustion chamber, the combustion chamber should be idle for about 30 minutes to cool down to reduce the impact or allow the machine to run automatically.
2. Install the drying cylinder fixing ring on the roller synchronously. Check the environment in the patrol ring regularly. Whether the roller is adjusted, the straight roller will automatically move to the conveying end, and then the bias will be adjusted to the correct position.
3. If the roller table is in contact with only one of the two thrust rollers, the gap sheet can be filled under the support roller until it is simultaneously subjected to the full width of the support ring. The specified nutritional state should be maintained by the thrust wheel, but it is used to compensate for the desire not to express.
4. If the drying drum is equipped with a drive device, a certain amount of power should be added in small amounts.

The asphalt mixing equipment mentioned here may also refer to an asphalt concrete mixing plant. At present, asphalt mixing equipment generally uses a complete set of equipment for mixing. So what are the benefits of using a complete set of equipment?
1. More effective.
In today’s industrial production, a complete set of asphalt mixing equipment can help improve production efficiency and ensure product quality. This is why even in a mixing plant, the equipment used is a complete set of equipment.
2. Ensure quality.
When mixing asphalt, a certain ratio is set. For this type of asphalt liquid used in different occasions, its ratio control has strict requirements. It is necessary to determine its mixing method and mixing time to ensure that the asphalt liquid is consistent with the production site. One of the advantages of a mixing plant is that the quality can be effectively controlled.
3. It can be sampled.
After mixing at the mixing plant, the quality inspector can sample and inspect to ensure that the mixed asphalt liquid meets the use requirements.
In short, asphalt mixing equipment will use a complete set of equipment, mainly to facilitate the later asphalt to meet production needs. Through the mixing plant, the mixing time and feeding sequence can be better controlled, so that the mixed product can meet different use requirements. And after using the archiving equipment, effective spot checks can be carried out, which can better ensure that the quality meets the construction requirements.

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.

In general, the development of my country’s asphalt mixing plant industry is very rapid. In the ton segment, it quickly occupied most of the market share. And with the advancement of technology, it can basically meet the current development needs. However, the total demand for some large-scale asphalt mixing plants has not increased or decreased. What are the reasons?
If we analyze from multiple angles, it is not difficult to find that these reasons are also some of the problems faced by my country’s current asphalt mixing plantindustry. These problems are summarized as follows:

The asphalt mixing plant contains multiple different systems with different functions. The drying system is one of them. Its main function is to heat and dry the materials to reach the temperature required for the process. In order to successfully achieve this goal, the drying system must provide a certain amount of heat.

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.
