Several requirements for safe operation of asphalt mixing plants

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.

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.

At present, the assembly and installation technology of large-scale asphalt concrete mixing equipment in high-grade highway construction is gradually improving. In order to improve work efficiency, it is necessary to analyze the pretreatment agent for the selection and matching of large-scale mixing equipment and auxiliary equipment, and clarify the installation and commissioning of asphalt stations. With the continuous change of highway construction methods, it is necessary to adopt production equipment according to the requirements of the development of the times. Intermittent asphalt mixing equipment is a widely used road construction equipment with the characteristics of simple operation and high work efficiency. Relevant staff are required to master the installation, construction and management methods of mixing equipment.

Asphalt mixing plants are highly professional equipment with complex systems. It is inevitable that some failures will occur during use. So, what are the common hardware failures of asphalt mixing plants? Do you know?
(I) Because its system is relatively complex, when different components have problems, the problems caused may be different. If during the operation, it is found that the material addition of each silo is inaccurate, this problem may be due to the failure of the sensor of the asphalt mixing plant. At this time, the machine should be stopped for inspection and replaced with a new sensor if necessary. It may also be caused by the jamming of the scale bar. At this time, foreign objects should be removed in time.

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.

[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 plant is also called asphalt mixture mixing equipment, which is mainly used to produce asphalt mixtures of various specifications. It is an important equipment in projects such as road construction, highway maintenance and airport runway construction. The main components of an asphalt mixing plant include cold material supply system, drying drum, screening system, weighing system, agitator, finished product silo and control system.
The workflow of an asphalt mixing plant is generally as follows:

There is also a reversing valve in the asphalt mixer, which generally does not cause problems, so I have not understood its solution in detail before. But in actual use, we encountered this kind of failure. How should we deal with it?

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.

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℃.

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.
Several requirements for safe operation of asphalt mixing plants:

Modified Bitumen

The application of asphalt mixing plants also involves selection issues. In order to give full play to the performance of the equipment, the model of the machine is mainly determined according to the actual situation of the construction site. It sounds relatively simple, but some details still need to be emphasized.
The so-called specific conditions of the construction site first include the size of the site; secondly, the properties, specifications and working dimensions of the enterprise’s supporting equipment. It is necessary to try to do a good job in all aspects to help improve production efficiency and ensure product quality. In the case of intensive network management, the network management function of the asphalt mixing plant must also be taken into account to avoid difficulties in future upgrades.

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.

When an ordinary asphalt mixing station completes the mixing operation, it will cause great pollution to the surrounding environment. In order to solve this problem, environmentally friendly asphalt mixing equipment came into being. What are the characteristics of this type of equipment?

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Asphalt damage avoidance mechanism 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.

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.

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.

Due to raw materials or usage, asphalt mixing plants will be subject to a certain degree of wear or other failures during daily use. If they are not controlled or repaired in time, the problem will be further exacerbated. For asphalt mixing plants, what are the ways to prevent wear and failure?
If the asphalt mixing plant is not treated in time after being worn, it may corrode once it is in contact with air, rainwater, etc. for a long time. If the parts of the asphalt mixing plant are severely corroded, the service life and normal operation of the entire equipment will be affected.

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.

At present, the production efficiency of asphalt mixing plants in my country’s asphalt construction is far lower than the theoretical efficiency at the time of design. The low efficiency of organic waste gas treatment will not only delay the construction process and cause a waste of resources, but also the quality of the construction will not be very good. guarantee. In the construction of asphalt pavement, the main reasons for the low production efficiency of the asphalt plant are insufficient supply of mixture, resulting in loss of continuity of construction, improper equipment parameter settings, excessive overflow and other problems. Effective measures must be taken to deal with these problems, and ultimately improve production efficiency and ensure construction quality.

The HMA-B series forced asphalt mixing plant can produce reliable quality asphalt in various proportions. The product technology is mature, the operation is stable, the specifications are complete, the efficiency is high, the output is large, and the finished asphalt quality is good. It is suitable for various sizes and This type of road construction project has more obvious advantages in larger-scale road construction projects and high-grade highway construction projects.

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.

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?

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