The slurry seal truck is mainly used for preventive maintenance of municipal pavement. It can improve the quality of the seal, effectively improve the integrity and crack resistance of the seal, extend the service life, and the construction process is simple without adding too many construction links. It is a kind of road maintenance equipment that has become quite popular in recent years.
(1) Construction preparation. The following measures are mainly taken: closing traffic and setting up safety helmets, signs, speed limit signs and other traffic signs. To deal with the disease on the original road surface and remove mud, dust, loose particles and other debris on the original road surface, high-pressure water cleaner can be used to clean it, but there should be no accumulation of water.
When the air temperature and ground temperature are high, water should be sprinkled on the original road in advance, and construction should be carried out immediately after the road surface is wet to delay the demulsification time of the mixture. Review the performance indicators of raw materials and use them only after passing the inspection. During storage, materials should be prepared and stacked in batches, and mixed stacking is not allowed to ensure reasonable gradation of the mixture.
(2) Stir the mixture. During construction, a sealing truck is used for on-site mixing. The sealing truck should have an automatic metering function to ensure that emulsified asphalt, water, mineral materials, fibers, etc. are mixed according to the designed ratio, and the slurry sealing paver should be measured and calibrated regularly.
In mixture design, reasonable determination of fiber dosage is key. The effect of the economic dosage of fiber and asphalt and the road performance should be comprehensively considered, and the construction workability should be considered. The wet wheel wear and load wheel method should be used to comprehensively determine. When the fiber dosage is too high, the workability will be weakened and construction will be inconvenient. When it is too low, the wear value increases, and the final fiber dosage should be determined reasonably. Generally, the fiber dosage is controlled at 2% to 3%, and the asphalt dosage is controlled at 10% to 13%.
During mixing, control the workability of the mixture. According to changes in on-site temperature, solid content of emulsified asphalt and moisture content of mineral materials, the mixture mix should be adjusted in time. The slurry mixture breaks emulsification quickly, and the consistency of the mixture during mixing must be controlled to ensure uniform mixing and ease of construction. The daily average temperature during the construction period should be greater than 10°C, and construction on rainy days is strictly prohibited. Ensure the workability of the slurry mixture and carry out construction.
(3) Mixed material paving. Determine the number of paving widths based on the road surface width and paving width, and start paving in the driving direction. When paving begins, the mixture flows into the paving trough. When there is 1/3 of the mixture in the paving trough, the paver starts.
Before construction, open the guide ruler of the sealing truck to guide the forward direction of the sealing truck and ensure that the sealing line is even and straight. The sealing vehicle should drive at a constant speed and the speed should be controlled at about 20m/min. The driving line should be straight and even to ensure consistent paving thickness. Any uneven thickness should be adjusted in time.
During the paving process, parking without reason is prohibited. When all the mixture in the mixing box and paving trough has been spread, it will stop moving forward and clean the paving trough in time to ensure that the paving trough is clean.
Set up dedicated personnel to find and deal with existing quality problems, and existing problems should be repaired and dealt with immediately. The smooth surface found should be manually treated with a broom or rake to improve the roughness of the sealant surface.
(4) Construction joints. Use the butt jointing method to process the joints of the two panels, so that all corners of the paving trough are pressed against the edge of the other panel. It should be ensured that there are no overlaps or gaps, and that the joints and lines are straight. For any overlaps that occur, the overlapping parts should be cleared and smoothed.
The butt joint method is also used for the transverse joints to ensure that the joints are at the same height and prevent the car from jumping. The slurry at the joints should be quickly cleaned with a broom during demulsification to prevent the formation of a continuous oil film. The bad parts of the joints must be manually treated, and the local scratches that appear must be manually eliminated by diagonal pulling.

    Bitumen decanter equipment can be placed in a complex system as an independent unit, replacing the existing heat source de-barreling method, or in parallel as a core component of a large set of equipment, or it can work independently to meet the requirements of small-scale construction operations.
    The Sinoroader bitumen decanter device is mainly composed of a de-barreling box, a lifting mechanism, a hydraulic thruster and an electrical control system. The box is divided into two chambers, the upper chamber is a barreled bitumen melting chamber, and heating coils are evenly distributed around it. The heating pipe and the bitumen barrel mainly exchange heat in a radiation manner to achieve the purpose of bitumen de-barreling. Several guide rails are the tracks for the bitumen barrel to enter. The lower chamber is mainly to continue heating the bitumen removed from the barrel to make the temperature reach the suction pump temperature (100℃), and then the asphalt pump is pumped into the upper chamber. At the same time, an empty barrel is pushed out at the rear end outlet. There is also an oil tank on the platform at the entrance of the asphalt barrel to prevent the dripping bitumen from flowing out.
    The inlet and outlet doors of the device adopt a spring automatic closing mechanism. The door can be automatically closed after the asphalt barrel is pushed in or out to reduce heat loss. A temperature gauge is installed at the asphalt outlet to observe the asphalt outlet temperature. The electrical control system can control the opening and closing of the hydraulic pump and the reversing of the electromagnetic reversing valve to realize the advance and retreat of the hydraulic cylinder. If the heating time is extended, a higher temperature can be obtained. The lifting mechanism adopts a cantilever structure. The bitumen barrel is lifted by an electric hoist, and then moved horizontally to place the bitumen barrel on the guide rail. A temperature gauge is installed at the outlet of the asphalt meltering equipment to observe its outlet temperature.

    Emulsified modified asphalt equipment is classified according to the production process and can be divided into three types: intermittent emulsified modified asphalt equipment, semi-continuous emulsified modified asphalt equipment, and continuous emulsified modified asphalt equipment. During the production of emulsified modified asphalt equipment, demulsifier, acid, water, and latex modified materials are blended in a soap mixing tank, and then pumped into the asphalt into the colloid mill. After a can of soap is used up, the soap is redispensed, and then the production of the next can is completed.
    The emulsified modified asphalt equipment mentioned here includes hot water pumps and circulation pumps. This type of centrifugal water pump generally uses a pipeline centrifugal pump. There is a sewage outlet at the bottom of the pipeline centrifugal pump. Pay attention to the sewage outlet at the bottom of the emulsified modified asphalt equipment pump. The water in the water tank is released through the filter valve. Some emulsified modified asphalt equipment does not have a filter valve to save equipment costs, so it can only be emptied by loosening the flange bolts at the bottom. There are basically two methods of moisturizing emulsion pumps for emulsified modified asphalt equipment on the market, gear oil pumps or centrifugal water pumps. The gear oil pump can only drain the liquid in the pump through the connecting flange of the pipeline. The centrifugal water pump carries out sewage treatment through its own sewage outlet.
    When used in the production of emulsified modified asphalt equipment, depending on the modified material technology, the latex pipeline can be connected in front of the colloid mill or behind the colloid mill, or there may be no latex pipeline and it must be made manually. Add the required amount of latex into the soap jar.
