The purpose and function of microsurfacing

Microsurfacing is a thin layer of overlay placed on old asphalt pavement and is a type of preventive maintenance process. The purpose of microsurfacing is road maintenance. After micro-surface paving, it can repair cracks in the original road surface, waterproof and beautify the road surface.
The construction method of micro surfacing is: using a micro surfacing paver to evenly spread modified emulsified asphalt, a certain grade of mineral materials, water and other additives on the road surface in a certain proportion.

Microsurfacing is a thin layer of overlay placed on old asphalt pavement and is a type of preventive maintenance process. The purpose of microsurfacing is road maintenance. After micro-surface paving, it can repair cracks in the original road surface, waterproof and beautify the road surface.
The construction method of micro surfacing is: using a micro surfacing paver to evenly spread modified emulsified asphalt, a certain grade of mineral materials, water and other additives on the road surface in a certain proportion.
The functions of microsurfacing are:
1.Anti-skid, micro-surface can effectively improve the anti-skid performance of the road surface and ensure driving safety.
2.The completion of micro-surface paving is equivalent to adding a wearing layer.
3.After micro-surface paving, the entire surface layer is increased with a waterproof surface to prevent water seepage and play a waterproof role.
4.Micro-surfacing is a preventive maintenance process. It is a thin layer laid on the basis of a certain degree of aging and looseness of the surface layer when the roadbed is intact. Its function is to prevent the pavement from continuing to age and loosen. Thereby effectively extending the service life of the road surface.
5.Rut paving repair can be carried out on the micro surface. Through rut repair construction, the smoothness of the road surface is improved, and the driving comfort of the road surface is effectively improved.
6.The aesthetics of the road surface have been improved after micro-surfacing construction.
In short, the purpose of micro-surfacing is to use a more convenient and fast construction method to maintain the surface. It can change the road condition, improve the road environment, replace the old appearance of the damaged road with a new look, and prevent the seriousness of the disease. Of course, there are many precautions for micro-surfacing construction. If the control is not good, there will be certain defects. There will be related articles for everyone to read and refer to.

    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.
