Preventive pavement maintenance & super-viscous fiber-added micro-surfacing

There are many types of bitumen emulsifiers, and there are many classification methods. For specific classifications, please refer to previous articles. The raw materials required for the production of emulsion bitumen are: bitumen, water and bitumen emulsifier. High-standard emulsion bitumen requires adding additives and adjusting acid. According to whether acid adjustment is needed in the emulsion bitumen production process, it can be divided into two categories: emulsion bitumen that requires acid adjustment and emulsion bitumen that does not require acid adjustment.

As we all know, emulsified bitumen is a single-component black viscous liquid that can combine the roadbed and the pavement to improve the performance and service life of the road. So what problems should be paid attention to when using emulsified bitumen? Let’s follow the editor of Sinoroader Group, an emulsified bitumen manufacturer, to learn about it.

As a manufacturer with many years of experience in emulsified bitumen construction, Sinoroader Group believes that everyone needs to pay attention to the following 2 points when using it:

Bitumen emulsion equipment is widely used in new technologies and new processes for preventive maintenance. Bitumen emulsion plant is an emulsion at room temperature formed by dispersing bitumen into the water phase. It is a new material that is made of natural materials. It is different from traditional Compared with hot bitumen, it saves more than 50% of energy, saves 10%-20% of bitumen, and causes less pollution.

1. Observation: Pay attention to the dynamics of the road surface after milling (three to four days), and pave the milled and roughened road surface in time when paving conditions are met.
2. On-site mixing: During construction and production, a sealing slurry truck should be used for on-site mixing. Through the metering equipment of the sealing truck and on-site operation by a robot, it is ensured that emulsified asphalt, water, mineral materials, fillers, etc. can be mixed according to a certain proportion. , stir through the mixing box, and the paving thickness is not higher than the roughing depth.

Asphalt melting equipment is an important road construction tool used to heat asphalt to the appropriate temperature for construction. It can provide reliable solutions and make road construction more convenient. The working principle of this equipment is to heat the asphalt to the appropriate temperature through a heater, and then transport the hot asphalt to the construction site through a conveying system.

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

Before use, please check whether the position of each valve is accurate and make preparations before work. After starting the motor of the asphalt spreading truck, check the four thermal oil valves and air pressure gauge. After everything is normal, start the engine and the power take-off starts to work. Try running the asphalt pump and cycle for 5 minutes. If the pump head shell is hot to your hands, slowly close the thermal oil pump valve. If the heating is insufficient, the pump will not rotate or make noise. You need to open the valve and continue to heat the asphalt pump until it can operate normally.

2. Check the bitumen melting equipment: Before use, the bitumen melter should be checked, including whether the circuit, liquid circuit and other parts of the equipment are working properly, and whether the equipment has leakage, water leakage and other conditions.
3. Pay attention to safety: During operation, protective bitumen melter equipment should be worn to avoid direct contact with hot bitumen. At the same time, avoid overloading the bitumen melter to prevent equipment damage and safety accidents.
4. Control speed: Reasonably control the working speed of the bitumen melting equipment according to weather conditions and road conditions to avoid overheating of the equipment, which may cause the bitumen to flow too quickly or burn.
5. Storage conditions: When not in use, place the equipment in a dry, ventilated and moderately warm place, and ensure that the residue in the equipment is completely cleaned.

Fog seal is an asphalt pavement maintenance construction method.
When the asphalt pavement has increased water permeability, loss of fine aggregate, cracks, pitting, etc., a fog seal layer can be used for pavement repair. The bonding material of the fog seal layer is fluid, can repair cracks and gaps, and can heal cracks below 0.3. After construction, the oil content of the road surface is increased, the anti-sticking aggregate is loosened, and it can play a waterproof role.
Before construction, the original road surface should be surveyed and analyzed to determine the construction bonding materials and spray volume.
So what precautions should be taken during construction?

1 Common diseases of asphalt pavement
There are nine phenomena of early damage to asphalt pavement: rutting, cracks, and potholes. These diseases are the most common and serious, and are one of the common quality problems of highway projects.
1.1 Rutting
Rutting refers to the longitudinal strip grooves on the road surface along the wheel tracks, with a depth of more than 1.5cm. Rutting is a strip groove formed by the accumulation of permanent deformation of the road surface under the repeated action of vehicle load. Rutting reduces the smoothness of the road surface. When the rutting reaches a certain depth, due to the accumulation of water in the rutting, it is easy for cars to slide and cause traffic accidents. The main reasons for rutting are unreasonable design and serious overloading of vehicles.
1.2 Cracks
There are three main forms of cracks: longitudinal cracks, transverse cracks and mesh cracks. When cracks occur in asphalt pavement, water seepage occurs, which harms the surface layer and base layer.
1.3 Potholes
Potholes are common early diseases of asphalt pavement, which refer to the road surface being damaged into potholes with a depth of more than 2cm and an area of ??more than 0.04㎡. The main reason for the formation of potholes is that the oil used in vehicle repair or motor vehicles seeps into the road surface, polluting the asphalt mixture and causing it to loosen. The pits are gradually formed by driving and rolling.

Everyone has a side of themselves that they don’t want others to know. As a preventive road maintenance technology, slurry sealing has some shortcomings. do you think so?
Slurry seal is a kind of road protection that uses special equipment to mix emulsified asphalt, water, additives, aggregates, fillers and other ingredients in a certain proportion, and then mixes the slurry mixture onto the original road surface to form a thin layer. Maintenance technology. These are all well known. The editor will not go into details on this.

Asphalt melting equipment is one of the indispensable equipment in modern road construction. Its main function is to heat a large amount of cold hard asphalt to a suitable working temperature at the construction site. Advanced asphalt melting equipments can greatly improve construction efficiency, reduce human resources and time costs, and ensure pavement quality at the same time.
First of all, reliable asphalt melter equipment can shorten heating time and work efficiency and avoid wasting energy. Secondly, the equipment is easy to operate and can reduce the incidence of on-site safety accidents. In addition, this equipment has an automatic control and monitoring system that can adjust the working status and parameters at any time to meet different construction needs and environmental conditions.

Asphalt spreading truck is a kind of black ground construction machinery. It is an important equipment in the logistics construction of roads, municipal roads, airports and ports. This equipment is mainly used to spray different types of asphalt on the ground to meet the construction requirements of different levels of ground oil permeable layer, sticky layer, left and right permeable layer, fog permeable layer, etc.

Conventional pit repair techniques are mainly hot material repair and cold filling repair, and warm mixing technology is used to ensure compaction, while there are also some special repair methods such as slurry seal/micro-surface material repair

Improve the reliability of SBS bitumen emulsion plants: Once you have an established maintenance, it will help to identify problems. This will allow the maintenance plan and time to be carried out at your convenience. Regular maintenance will increase the normal operation time of SBS bitumen emulsification equipment, and it can be used when necessary. Low cost of operation: Imagine an SBS bitumen emulsification plant breaks down during a project. With a protective maintenance plan, such things happen less often because you have taken good care of the SBS bitumen emulsification plant.
If the SBS bitumen emulsification plant wants to maintain normal operation, then in the production process. All stages need to be maintained normal, among which the normality of the circuit system is an important aspect to ensure its smooth operation. Imagine that if there is a problem with the circuit during the on-site operation, it may affect the development of the entire project.
For users, of course, they don’t expect this to happen, so if the SBS bitumen emulsification plant is in the work of using the SBS bitumen emulsification equipment, if there is a circuit problem, it is necessary to take appropriate measures to solve it in time. The following article will give a detailed description of this problem, and the following SBS bitumen emulsification plant can be of benefit to everyone.

The emulsified bitumen equipment hot-melts the base cold-mix colored bitumen, and then disperses the slightly cold-mixed colored bitumen particles into the aqueous solution containing emulsifier through a machine to form liquid cold-mixed colored bitumen sheets.

Asphalt emulsifier is an emulsifier that belongs to the category of surfactants and is a raw material for the production of emulsified asphalt.
Emulsifiers are divided into: synthetic emulsifiers, natural emulsifiers, inorganic powder emulsifiers, etc. Currently, synthetic emulsifiers are widely used. Asphalt emulsifier is a type of chemical organically synthesized surfactant.

How to reduce energy consumption of emulsified asphalt machinery is a concern of many users and many manufacturers. Therefore, today, Sinosun Company, as a manufacturer of emulsified asphalt equipment, would like to take this opportunity to share with you the method of reducing energy consumption of emulsified asphalt machinery.
Since emulsified asphalt appears as a finished product in emulsified asphalt machinery, and the outlet temperature of ordinary emulsified asphalt is about 85℃, and the outlet temperature of emulsified modified asphalt is above 95℃, there is a lot of latent heat in emulsified asphalt, but the emulsified asphalt equipment does not make good use of them, but directly enters the finished product tank, allowing heat to be lost at will, resulting in energy waste.

Whether it is the application of modified asphalt equipment or the application of other equipment, if you want to extend its service life, you need to do daily maintenance work.

The slurry seal truck is one of the main maintenance methods of highways. The slurry seal is made of emulsified asphalt as the binding material, well-graded mineral materials, fillers, water and additives, etc., mixed in a certain proportion. The slurry mixture is evenly spread on the old road surface to be treated with a sealing truck, and is firmly combined with the original road surface to form a new thin layer of asphalt mixture. So what preparations need to be done before construction? Let’s find out below.

With the rapid development of our country’s social development and the continuous development of economic and information technology, modern highway construction is also developing rapidly, and the requirements for ground structural materials are becoming higher and higher, and Asphalt concrete bonding raw materials are inseparable from modified asphalt equipment. So besides these influencing factors, what other reasons does the company have that people don’t understand? Let’s analyze it together.
There are some asphalt concrete equipment on the market, because they have not solved the problem of asphalt clogging before grinding, there are not enough preparation equipment and grinding equipment, the structure is unscientific, and the entire grinding process cannot achieve a certain particle size, resulting in modification. The product productivity of asphalt equipment is low and the product quality is unstable. It requires continuous grinding for a long time, creating problems. This will not only greatly increase energy consumption, increase costs, make product quality unstable, and affect the speed of highway construction.
