Measures to save energy and reduce consumption in asphalt mixing plants

Judging from the current situation of domestic highway construction, asphalt mixing stations will also achieve great development for a long time to come. This is also a result of rapid economic development. However, we have found that more and more quality problems occur when constructing asphalt pavements in modern times. Therefore, we have to put forward more stringent requirements for the quality of asphalt.

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. 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.

With the strengthening of the trend of environmental protection and energy conservation, the environmental protection of asphalt mixing plants has gradually become the mainstream form of mixing plant development. What kind of equipment can be called an environmentally friendly asphalt mixing plant? What are the basic conditions that must be met?
First of all, as an environmentally friendly asphalt mixing plant, it must meet the requirement of using less energy consumption during use. That is to say, under the conditions of the same quantity and quality, less energy is consumed during the operation process, including various resources such as water and electricity.
Secondly, environmentally friendly asphalt mixing plants not only require less energy consumption, but also must achieve higher production efficiency, while also reducing carbon emissions in the entire production process, so as to meet the proposed low-carbon production requirements.

When using the asphalt mixing plant, you should regularly check the fuel pressure regulating valve or pressure reducing valve to determine whether the surface of the locking nut on the adjustable bolt is clean and removable; if the surface of the screw or nut is too dirty or rusty, it needs to be repaired or Replace the regulating valve.
Check the oil pump regularly to determine whether the sealing device is intact and whether the internal pressure is stable, and replace any damaged or leaking sealing devices. When using hot oil, check whether all oil pipes are well insulated. The filter installed between the oil tank and the oil pump must be cleaned regularly and checked for excessive wear to ensure that the fuel reaches the oil pump smoothly from the oil tank and to reduce the possibility of potential component failure.

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.

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.

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.

As a special equipment, standardizing the operating procedures of important production tools of asphalt mixing stations, conducting daily maintenance, regular inspections, eliminating hidden dangers, etc. can effectively ensure the safety and stability of the equipment and prevent equipment from malfunctioning due to misoperation. causing equipment damage. Good maintenance operations can also greatly extend the service life of asphalt mixing plants. Therefore, before daily operation, the asphalt mixing plant must be properly maintained to make the asphalt mixing plant operate better and create wealth.

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

The mixing speed of asphalt mixing plant equipment is indeed very fast, and the corresponding mixing power must be very high, but the specific amount must be measured in a certain way to determine the scope of use of asphalt mixing equipment. There are many methods to measure the mixing power of asphalt mixing equipment, but the relatively small errors are the motor counter-torque measurement method and the strain measurement method.
When the motor of the asphalt mixing equipment starts running, the electromagnetic moment acting on the motor rotor and the electromagnetic moment acting on the motor stator are equal, but their directions are opposite. Therefore, as long as the torque acting on the stator is measured, the torque on the rotor can be obtained, and the actual mixing torque is obtained after deducting the friction torque on the rotor bearing.
On the premise of knowing the torque and mixing speed, the mixing power of the asphalt mixing equipment can be calculated. This is the so-called motor counter-torque measurement method, which is relatively simple and suitable for smaller mixing systems.

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.

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.

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 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.

Oscillating screen. It can screen the heated aggregate according to the design. It requires fully enclosed, double oscillating motor replacement (replacing one substance for another (mostly the strong one takes the place of the weak)) eccentric shaft oscillation, each The layer screen is easy to install quickly. The service life of the drying roller and the power part is not less than 6000h. The roller can fully use heat, the material curtain flows evenly, and the inclination is required to be adjustable.

Asphalt mixing plants bring a lot of convenience. You should understand what asphalt is. Asphalt is a very viscous liquid with a black surface that dissolves carbon disulfide. They generally exist as asphalt and smoke tar. Asphalt appeared early in social life.

It is inevitable that the asphalt mixing plant will have insufficient pumping force during use. In fact, during the construction process, as long as the asphalt mixing station is operated in accordance with regulations, and the accessories are cleaned and replaced in time, the asphalt mixing plant will generally not have insufficient pumping force. Now the editor of the asphalt mixing station manufacturer briefly introduces the common solutions to insufficient pumping force of asphalt mixing plant as follows.

Speaking of asphalt mixing plants, we are not unfamiliar with them. This is a unit equipment specially used for asphalt mixing. In fact, what we really lack understanding of is its gas system. Even the accumulated failures that often occur in the gas system of asphalt mixing plants are not very clear. Facts have proved that only by properly maintaining the various systems of the equipment can efficient production and good benefits be achieved.
The following are four types of gas system failures that often occur in asphalt mixing plants. Let’s analyze the causes of the problems behind the failures one by one.

Due to certain restrictions on the current development status and conditions, the profits of the domestic asphalt pavement construction industry are getting lower and lower. Therefore, in the process of using asphalt mixing plants for production, on the one hand, the quality of the products and customer requirements must be ensured. , on the other hand, it is necessary to reduce production costs. Therefore, cost management is very important, and refined management should be implemented in this regard.
First, for device management. Since equipment is the foundation and key of production, in the cost management of asphalt mixing stations, the management of equipment plays an important role in reducing costs. Only by managing the equipment well can the normal working status be ensured, which provides the necessary guarantee for the smooth progress of the project. In fact, in today’s highway projects, equipment costs account for a large part of the cost and profit. The huge profits after the construction of a highway will be greatly affected by the management of materials and equipment.

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 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.

In today’s road construction, the use of a large number of road construction machinery represents the entry into the era of highway mechanization. For users, the goal is to use road construction machinery reasonably and tap its potential as much as possible. However, road construction machinery requires various accessories to work together. Now let’s take the asphalt mixing plant as an example to see what commonly used accessories and equipment are available.
Asphalt mixing plant equipment is a relatively complex system, which includes many equipment, mainly nine parts, namely: bag dust removal, finished material temporary storage warehouse, grading machine, fast heating asphalt tank, asphalt barrel removal machine, asphalt recycled material crushing and screening system, coal block crusher, coal mill and dust removal equipment, etc.

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.

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.

Current highway projects are generally large-investment projects. When carrying out actual project construction, it is very necessary to control the cost of the project. The production cost control and management of asphalt mixing stations in highway projects plays a huge role in controlling the cost of the entire highway project, because the main expenses of highway projects are concentrated on the mixing stations, and almost all the equipment used in highway projects Materials are closely related to the mixing station.

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.

Natural gas is a colorless, odorless, flammable and explosive gas, the main component of which is methane, which accounts for about 98% of natural gas. The density of natural gas is lower than that of air and it is difficult to liquefy. Natural gas is not only a clean green energy for civil, commercial and industrial use, but also a raw gas for chemical industry. The theoretical ignition value of natural gas is 540 degrees, the combustion temperature is 1970 degrees, the calorific value is 40MJ/m3, and the explosion limit is 5%-15%. CNG refers to natural gas that has been compressed to 20-25MP and stored in high-pressure gas tank trucks, and then transported to various gas transmission points to supply gas to residential users, commercial users and industrial users. In order to ensure the normal operation and safety of the asphalt mixing station and our pressure regulating station, our company has specially formulated the following safety protection measures.
