Necessary stages in asphalt mixing plant design

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.

Determining the material is a necessary stage in the design process of asphalt mixing equipment, and it is also one of the most critical links, because the material will be directly related to the use effect and service life of the entire equipment. Generally, when we determine the machine material, we usually base it on the characteristics of the working medium, and the same is certainly true for asphalt mixing equipment.

The development prospects of asphalt mixing plants are very good, and the product competition on the market is also very fierce. When the equipment is used, uneven wear of the supporting wheels and wheel rails often occurs, and sometimes there are some abnormal noises and edge gnawing. The main reason is that after the asphalt mixing station has been working for a period of time, the drying cylinder is exposed to high temperature and friction occurs between the supporting wheel and the wheel rail.
Under the action of drying materials in an asphalt mixing station, the equipment will vibrate violently, which will directly lead to improper adjustment of the gap between the wheel rail and the supporting wheel, or mutual interference between the two. The position is skewed, so the operator needs to add grease to the surface contact positions of the supporting wheel and the calibrating wheel rail after every day’s work.

[1]. Composition of intermittent asphalt mixing plant
The intermittent asphalt mixing plant mainly consists of cold material silo, cold material distribution system, cold material conveying system, combustion and drying system, ventilation and dust removal system, hot material elevator, vibrating screen, hot material silo, powder conveying system and asphalt conveying system. System, metering system, mixing cylinder, control system, finished material transportation and storage system, asphalt heating and insulation system, etc.
2. Discussing the phenomenon of warehouse cascading in asphalt concrete mixing plants
2.1 First, let’s introduce the structure and principle of vibrating screen. The main components include: RetentionRubber, SupportTube, vibrating screen drive system and supporting electrical components
The working principle is introduced as follows: hot aggregate is sent to the vibrating screen through the hot aggregate elevator, and the hot aggregate is vibrated and screened by the vibrating screen. Stones of different specifications enter their corresponding hot aggregate bins through the screen and cannot pass through the geotechnical work. The super-sized particles from the cloth screen enter the overflow bin and are sent out.

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?

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.

What should I do when the reversing valve in the asphalt mixing plant fails? The editor has a trick:
1. The reversing valve cannot be reversed or the reversing action is slow, which is generally caused by poor lubrication, stuck or damaged springs, oil or impurities stuck in the sliding parts. In this regard, you should first check whether the oil mist is working normally; whether the viscosity of the lubricating oil is appropriate. If necessary, the lubricating oil should be replaced, the sliding part of the reversing valve should be cleaned, or the spring and reversing valve should be replaced.

The quality of asphalt mixture directly determines the quality of asphalt pavement engineering. This article discusses the key points of supervision of ordinary highway asphalt plants in order to better monitor the quality of asphalt mixture.

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.

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℃.

At present, most asphalt mixing plants have different degrees of energy loss in use, and these losses have brought us serious waste. How to reduce energy consumption in these aspects and achieve efficient production?
First of all, we must first summarize which aspects have energy loss, and then we can find reasonable solutions based on these problems. Through research, it is found that there are four problems in the use of asphalt mixing plants and the production of asphalt mixtures. The content and measures are as follows:
The first aspect is the management of the pile. We can reduce the energy consumption of the asphalt mixing plant through 3 specific methods: 1. Appropriately reduce the stacking height of the pile; 2. Build an inclined pile site with a good drainage structure; 3. Build a waterproof canopy.

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.

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.

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 station 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.

1.During the operation of asphalt mixing station equipment, in addition to ensuring that the asphalt mixing station 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, so as 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 that determines fuel consumption. Additional material sheds should be added.
3. Before operation, all working parts and devices of the asphalt mixing station equipment should be fully checked to see if they are intact and normal. If there is a problem, it must be properly handled before operation, and it is forbidden to operate with illness.

Asphalt mixing plant is a very practical engineering machinery. Especially in the road construction process, it plays an irreplaceable role. Due to its importance, in addition to ensuring its own quality, the use and maintenance of the equipment must be carried out normally. Let’s learn about the daily maintenance requirements of asphalt mixing plants.

Asphalt mixing station is one of the most important equipment in processing operations, so how to build a website has become the focus of people’s attention. The editor has compiled some key points, hoping to be helpful to everyone.

Any kind of mechanical equipment must go through precise design, testing and other processes before it can be manufactured, and the same is true for asphalt mixing stations. According to the survey, the following stages are necessary for any asphalt mixing plant.
First of all, the main technical parameters of the product to be designed must be determined according to market needs, so construction market research, data analysis and other links are indispensable. Secondly, the ideal working principle and the plan to realize this principle will be determined through innovative conception and optimization screening. , a schematic diagram of the overall design scheme should also be given.

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:

Asphalt mixing equipment is a large-scale equipment, so you must pay attention to safety when using it to avoid accidents. But to put it simply, if you want to truly use it safely, you must master some basic common sense. The following main things must be kept in mind.

After use, asphalt mixing equipment needs to be disassembled, cleaned, and maintained before it can be saved for next use. Not only is the disassembly process of the equipment important, but the previous preparation work also has a greater impact, so it cannot be neglected. Please pay attention to the detailed introduction below for specific content.

In recent years, asphalt concrete, as a new green building material, is gradually being valued by people because of its excellent performance in saving resources, being environmentally friendly, ensuring the quality of construction projects, and achieving sustainable utilization of resources. The development of asphalt concrete fully embodies my country’s policies to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction, and is also an important measure to promote the development of circular economy.

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 plants are large-scale products with high professional and technical requirements, and are composed of multiple systems. Among them, asphalt tanks are also a very critical part. Whether it is manufacturing, debugging or installation, it needs to be operated according to the actual application needs of users.
In addition to the manufacturing, debugging and installation, which need to be operated by installers, the maintenance of asphalt tanks in asphalt mixing plants must also be managed by professionals. At the same time, they must strictly follow all safety rules to operate. Before operation, they must be proficient in the relevant requirements and based on the regulations and safety instructions for storing and handling hot asphalt.

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.

As an important production equipment in construction, asphalt mixing plant has high production investment. Therefore, production is very important during use, but daily maintenance is also very important. In addition to regular maintenance, routine maintenance is also essential. The editor of Asphalt Mixing Plant shares some key points of daily maintenance and scheduled maintenance;

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

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.

Road construction machinery is a large range, so let’s talk about one of it, which is the asphalt mixing plant. It is mainly used to produce asphalt, so it is very important among road construction machinery and equipment. An important part, if the quality of the finished product is not good, it will greatly affect the quality of the road. Therefore, below, the editor will use the form of question and answer to guide you to continue learning.
