Technical characteristics of plug valves in asphalt mixing plants

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In today’s road construction, the use of a large number of road construction machinery represents the entry into the era of highway mechanization. For users, the goal is to use road construction machinery reasonably and tap its potential as much as possible. However, road construction machinery requires various accessories to work together. Now let’s take the asphalt mixing plant as an example to see what commonly used accessories and equipment are available.
Asphalt mixing plant equipment is a relatively complex system, which includes many equipment, mainly nine parts, namely: bag dust removal, finished material temporary storage warehouse, grading machine, fast heating asphalt tank, asphalt barrel removal machine, asphalt recycled material crushing and screening system, coal block crusher, coal mill and dust removal equipment, etc.

The plug valve is a rotary valve in the shape of a closure or plunger. After rotating 90 degrees, the channel opening on the valve plug is the same as or separated from the channel opening on the valve body to complete opening or closing. It is widely used in oilfield excavation, transportation and refining equipment, and such valves are also needed in asphalt mixing plants.
The valve plug of the plug valve in the asphalt mixing plant can be cylindrical or conical. In the cylindrical valve plug, the channel is generally rectangular; in the conical valve plug, the channel is trapezoidal. These shapes make the structure of the plug valve light and very suitable for blocking and connecting media and diversion.

Synchronous gravel sealing in road maintenance can quickly improve road driving performance, repair anti-skid performance, smoothness, etc. It is used in preventive maintenance and is also one of the methods of low-grade road pavement construction. Synchronous gravel seal has the advantages of high strength, rough surface, non-slip, impermeable, good durability, and prevention of water mist when driving on rainy days. The so-called synchronous gravel sealing layer is to use special equipment, namely the synchronous gravel sealing truck and the bonding material (modified asphalt or modified emulsified asphalt) to be spread simultaneously on the road surface, and the single layer of asphalt wear is formed by natural driving or rolling with a road roller. layer, mainly used as asphalt surface layer.

1: The site should be located on higher ground and away from residential areas and densely populated areas.
Because part of the equipment of the mixing station is installed below the ground, in order to avoid continuous rainfall. The equipment will suffer disaster, and the changing aggregate moisture content will affect the concrete quality. Quality accidents are prone to occur. Therefore, during site construction, attention should be paid to the construction of drainage pipelines and sand and gravel quarries. With the rapid development of cities. With the continuous expansion of urban scale, environmental protection requirements will become more and more stringent. Urban roads prohibit gravel vehicles from passing, so concrete mixing plants should be built far away from urban areas.

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.

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:

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.

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.

Asphalt mixing plant refers to a complete set of equipment used for batch production of asphalt concrete. Its main function is to produce asphalt mixture, colored asphalt mixture, etc., and has been widely used in road construction. However, during the production process of asphalt mixture, pollutants such as noise, dust, and asphalt smoke will be produced, seriously polluting the environment and threatening the health of workers. Therefore, under the current background of building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society in our country, it is very important to save energy and reduce consumption during the use of asphalt mixing plants. The following article mainly starts from the three factors that affect the asphalt mixing plant, and explores the energy saving and consumption reduction measures of the asphalt mixing plant, aiming to reduce the cost of asphalt production and improve the efficiency of the asphalt plant.

As a special equipment, standardizing the operating procedures of important production tools of asphalt mixing stations, conducting daily maintenance, regular inspections, eliminating hidden dangers, etc. can effectively ensure the safety and stability of the equipment and prevent equipment from malfunctioning due to misoperation. causing equipment damage. Good maintenance operations can also greatly extend the service life of asphalt mixing plants. Therefore, before daily operation, the asphalt mixing plant must be properly maintained to make the asphalt mixing plant operate better and create wealth.

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.

Asphalt mixing stations play an important role in road construction. This article starts from the site selection, commissioning, and acceptance of the asphalt mixing plant, and elaborates on comprehensive and reasonable planning to avoid disturbing the normal construction order.

Bitumen, a black or brown petroleum-like material, has a viscosity ranging from a viscous liquid to a glassy solid. It can be obtained as a residue separated from natural deposits. Bitumen consists of hydrogen and carbon compounds with small amounts of nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen. The preparation of mixed materials for mixing with asphalt is done in several steps:
Prediction: According to the asphalt recipe, the individual components of the aggregate are weighed. Usually this is done using a belt scale, since the material must go to the next step in a continuous flow.

Asphalt (composition: asphaltenes and resin) tanks are divided into: intermittent and continuous functions according to the production process: initial batching of aggregates, heating and drying, screening and measurement; heating and insulation of asphalt (composition: asphaltene and resin) , transportation and measurement; transportation and measurement of filler; uniformly mix the measured aggregate, asphalt (composition: asphaltene and resin), and filler into a finished product of a certain temperature.

Asphalt mixing equipment is equipment used to produce asphalt concrete in large quantities. Because this equipment is affected by various factors during the production process, some problems will inevitably occur after a period of use. Sinoroader Group The editor of the asphalt mixing equipment company of China Machinery Co., Ltd. will introduce to you the methods of rescuing damaged parts in asphalt mixing equipment.
Asphalt mixing equipment encounters different problems, and the solutions are also different. For example, one of the common problems of asphalt mixing equipment is that parts are worn out and damaged. The solution that needs to be done at this time is to start from the production of parts. Just start improving.

Mechanism to avoid asphalt damage 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.

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.

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.

Natural gas is a colorless, odorless, flammable and explosive gas, the main component of which is methane, which accounts for about 98% of natural gas. The density of natural gas is lower than that of air and it is difficult to liquefy. Natural gas is not only a clean green energy for civil, commercial and industrial use, but also a raw gas for chemical industry. The theoretical ignition value of natural gas is 540 degrees, the combustion temperature is 1970 degrees, the calorific value is 40MJ/m3, and the explosion limit is 5%-15%. CNG refers to natural gas that has been compressed to 20-25MP and stored in high-pressure gas tank trucks, and then transported to various gas transmission points to supply gas to residential users, commercial users and industrial users. In order to ensure the normal operation and safety of the asphalt mixing station and our pressure regulating station, our company has specially formulated the following safety protection measures.

The driving device is one of the important components of the asphalt mixing plant, so whether it can operate reliably must be highly valued to avoid adverse effects on the entire asphalt mixing plant. In order to ensure that the driving device in the asphalt mixing plant is indeed complete and reliable, the following maintenance measures are essential.

Asphalt mixing equipment has a special function, which is that it can perform cyclic heating to make the asphalt product reach the best condition. But how does it achieve this function? Everyone is curious about this.
