METERING SYSTEM

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.

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.

Aggregate drying system of asphalt mixer plant

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.

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 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.

The mobile forced asphalt mixing equipment adopts intermittent drying cylinder, double forced mixer, the main machine can be towed, small footprint, short installation cycle, convenient operation and maintenance, good stability, high degree of automation, high degree of standardization, and high quality of finished products, and the technology of continuous improvement. The mobile forced asphalt mixing plant is suitable for high-grade road asphalt paving and maintenance.
1. The combined structure of the drum dryer and the batching machine is installed on a movable bracket for easy movement.
2. The asphalt mixing plant is equipped with a double horizontal shaft to boil the aggregate and ensure uniform mixing.
3. In the densely arranged hanging barrels, the hot aggregate rises vertically. This lifting tool is easy to use and reliable.
4. For accurate weighing of aggregates, asphalt and powder ore, a measuring scale is used, which contains a weighing sensor for electronic measurement.
5. The movement of the power material follows a closed spiral path, which ensures little material loss and provides safe transfer.
6. On the cyclone burner, high-pressure oil is sprayed out and quickly atomized. In the combustion chamber, the material is fed in a spiral manner and automatically ignited by the oil mist, which ensures combustion efficiency. The cylindrical barrel of the burner is separated from the burner head. The furnace cavity can be pushed in and pulled out, which is convenient for replacing the damaged side column bricks inside the burner. The entire burner has a large heat capacity and high thermal strength. This is cost-effectiveness.

During the operation of the asphalt mixing plant, the quality of the mixture is often related to its construction quality. Therefore, we need to improve the quality level of the mixture as much as possible, and the temperature of the mixture is one of the standards for the qualification assessment of the mixture. In other words, if the temperature is too high or too low, the mixture may become waste and cannot meet the needs of use.
Therefore, reasonable control of the temperature of the mixture is one of the basic conditions that must be met for the normal production of the asphalt mixing plant. Among them, the quality of the fuel will affect the temperature of the mixture. For example, if the quality of the fuel is poor, the calorific value is low, and the combustion is incomplete, it will lead to unstable heating, low temperature, and a large amount of residue will be produced after combustion, affecting the quality of the mixture. If the viscosity is large, it will also cause ignition difficulties and the temperature is not easy to control.

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.

CONTROL SYSTEM of asphalt plant

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, 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.

Due to its complexity and importance, asphalt mixing plants are more critical in road construction. Modern asphalt mixing stations have five key systems. Do you know what they are?
1. Mixing system of asphalt mixing plant
Mixing equipment is one of the key systems, why? Usually, the productivity of the mixing equipment has a great impact on the next step of construction efficiency. Most asphalt mixing plants use twin-shaft forced mixing. Since the drying drum and burner of the mixing equipment have strong overload capabilities, and in most cases, the moisture content of the mineral materials is less than 5%, this improves the productivity of the mixing equipment. provide conditions. The mixing blades of the mixer have an adjustable assembly angle and are driven by dual mixing shafts and dual motors.

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 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.

The batch asphalt mixing plant is equipped with an automatic cold aggregate feeding system, which consists of a silo, an automatic distributor and a feeding belt conveyor. fully enclosed automatic control has the advantages of stable feeding, fast speed, and improved operation efficiency of the whole station.

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:

1. Causes of overflow
The main causes of spillage are:
1) Mixing materials in cold silo. Cold material warehouses generally have 5 or 4 warehouses. Each warehouse is required to contain pellets of a certain specification. If cold materials of different specifications are mixed or mistakenly loaded during the loading process, it will cause certain occurrences in a certain period of time. The shortage of pellets of one specification and the overflow of pellets of another specification can easily destroy the supply balance between hot and cold silos.

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.

In my country, most of the raw materials used in highway construction are asphalt, so asphalt mixing plants have also developed rapidly. However, under the situation of rapid economic development in my country, the problems of asphalt pavement have gradually increased, so the market requirements for asphalt quality have become higher and higher.
There are many factors that affect the quality of asphalt. In addition to the need for asphalt mixing plant equipment to meet conventional requirements, the ratio of raw materials is also very important. At present, my country’s existing industry specifications indicate that the maximum particle size of the asphalt mixture used on the upper layer of the highway cannot exceed half of the thickness, and the maximum particle size of the aggregate of the middle asphalt mixture cannot exceed two-thirds of the thickness of the layer, and the maximum size of the structural layer cannot exceed one-third of the same layer.

Asphalt mixing plant, also known as asphalt concrete mixing plant, asphalt mixing equipment. Refers to a complete set of equipment used for mass production of asphalt concrete. According to the mixing method, it can be divided into intermittent type and continuous type; according to the transportation method, it can be divided into fixed type, semi-fixed type and mobile type.

When we operate the asphalt mixing station, we should heat the equipment half an hour in advance, and the clear tank should be heated for at least two hours; and manually operate each part of the equipment to ensure that it is in good operation. status; it is also necessary to conduct relevant inspections on the valves and manually collect and return oil to ensure that the equipment can operate normally.

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.

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.

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.
