Two faults in the gas circuit of asphalt mixing plants

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.

Current highway projects are generally large-investment projects. When carrying out actual project construction, it is very necessary to control the cost of the project. The production cost control and management of asphalt mixing stations in highway projects plays a huge role in controlling the cost of the entire highway project, because the main expenses of highway projects are concentrated on the mixing stations, and almost all the equipment used in highway projects Materials are closely related to the mixing station.

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.

The asphalt mixing plant contains multiple different systems with different functions. The drying system is one of them. Its main function is to heat and dry the materials to reach the temperature required for the process. In order to successfully achieve this goal, the drying system must provide a certain amount of heat.

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.

In order to keep the asphalt mixing plant in a stable operating process, a series of adverse factors related to it must be excluded. What should be paid attention to in this process?
First of all, the selection of the delivery pump in the asphalt mixing plant must meet the requirements of asphalt pouring per unit time during construction, height, and horizontal distance requirements. At the same time, there must be a certain technical and production capacity reserve, and the balanced production capacity is preferably 1.2 to 1.5 times.
Secondly, the movement and hydraulic systems of the asphalt mixing plant must be normal, and there must be no abnormal sound and vibration to avoid large aggregates and lumps inside the equipment, otherwise it is easy to get stuck at the feed inlet of the mixing plant or be blocked due to arching. Another point is that when the asphalt mixing plant is in the same site, it is not suitable to use too many pumps and pumps from multiple manufacturers to avoid affecting its normal operation.

When using the asphalt mixing plant, you should regularly check the fuel pressure regulating valve or pressure reducing valve to determine whether the surface of the locking nut on the adjustable bolt is clean and removable; if the surface of the screw or nut is too dirty or rusty, it needs to be repaired or Replace the regulating valve.
Check the oil pump regularly to determine whether the sealing device is intact and whether the internal pressure is stable, and replace any damaged or leaking sealing devices. When using hot oil, check whether all oil pipes are well insulated. The filter installed between the oil tank and the oil pump must be cleaned regularly and checked for excessive wear to ensure that the fuel reaches the oil pump smoothly from the oil tank and to reduce the possibility of potential component failure.

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.

The mobile forced asphalt mixing equipment adopts intermittent drying cylinder, double forced mixer, the main machine can be towed, small footprint, short installation cycle, convenient operation and maintenance, good stability, high degree of automation, high degree of standardization, and high quality of finished products, and the technology of continuous improvement. The mobile forced asphalt mixing plant is suitable for high-grade road asphalt paving and maintenance.
1. The combined structure of the drum dryer and the batching machine is installed on a movable bracket for easy movement.
2. The asphalt mixing plant is equipped with a double horizontal shaft to boil the aggregate and ensure uniform mixing.
3. In the densely arranged hanging barrels, the hot aggregate rises vertically. This lifting tool is easy to use and reliable.
4. For accurate weighing of aggregates, asphalt and powder ore, a measuring scale is used, which contains a weighing sensor for electronic measurement.
5. The movement of the power material follows a closed spiral path, which ensures little material loss and provides safe transfer.
6. On the cyclone burner, high-pressure oil is sprayed out and quickly atomized. In the combustion chamber, the material is fed in a spiral manner and automatically ignited by the oil mist, which ensures combustion efficiency. The cylindrical barrel of the burner is separated from the burner head. The furnace cavity can be pushed in and pulled out, which is convenient for replacing the damaged side column bricks inside the burner. The entire burner has a large heat capacity and high thermal strength. This is cost-effectiveness.

Modified Bitumen

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.

For road construction machinery, the following is mainly about the asphalt mixer in road construction machinery equipment. Because it is the key product of Wuxi road construction machinery manufacturers, it is necessary to carry out comprehensive training and mastery, so as to ensure meticulousness and practicality, and not ignore any knowledge points.
1. In road construction machinery, is there any difference between asphalt mixing equipment and asphalt concrete mixing equipment?
The answer given by Sinoroader Group manufacturer to this question is no, that is, there is no difference between asphalt mixing equipment and asphalt concrete mixing equipment. They refer to the same type of equipment, but they are different in name. It can be said that they are two names for the same type of equipment, and there is no difference in essence.
2. During the operation of the asphalt mixer, there is a sound in the mixing pot. What’s the matter?
In the view of Sinoroader Group, there are two answers to this question. One is that the mixer arm on the asphalt mixer is not good or damaged. The second is that the wear-resistant lining in the mixer is damaged, which leads to this problem.
3. What are the dust removal devices in the asphalt mixing equipment?
In the asphalt mixing equipment, for its dust removal device, Sinoroader Group believes that the key is to use the dry ash removal method, because it can facilitate the collection of raw materials. In terms of its dust removal equipment type, there are filter dust removal equipment, centrifugal fan dust removal equipment and force dust removal equipment, etc., which can all be used well.
For the asphalt mixer and asphalt mixing equipment in road construction machinery, I believe that through the practical discussion of the above relevant content, everyone can master it well and master it, so that in practice, they can have new gains and benefit a lot from it.

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℃.

Asphalt mixing plant, also known as asphalt concrete mixing plant, asphalt mixing equipment. Refers to a complete set of equipment used for mass production of asphalt concrete. According to the mixing method, it can be divided into intermittent type and continuous type; according to the transportation method, it can be divided into fixed type, semi-fixed type and mobile type.

Asphalt mixing station is the standard for mixing asphalt. Having said that, many people still think that this has nothing to do with us. We don’t use asphalt, but do you know that our roads are made of asphalt? When I was a child, I used asphalt to pluck pig hair. The hair on the pig’s head was indeed clean. When using asphalt, it must be burned hot, because if it is cold, it will be very hard and cannot be used. Therefore, if a large amount of asphalt is needed, there must be an asphalt mixer because there is no more convenient equipment than it.
What kind of source material is asphalt that requires special equipment. Asphalt is a black-brown, high-viscosity organic liquid composed of hydrocarbons and non-metallic substances of different molecular weights. The surface is black and soluble in carbon disulfide. At the same time, it is also a waterproof, moisture-proof and anti-corrosion organic gelling material. It can be mainly divided into three types: coal tar asphalt, petroleum asphalt and natural asphalt. Asphalt is mainly used in industries such as coatings, plastics, rubber, and paving roads.

Asphalt flue gas treatment methods, their principles and characteristics, and an asphalt flue gas environmental protection treatment plan based on the actual asphalt flue gas problems faced by the unit.

1. Basic situation
My unit’s mixing plant is equipped with a 4000-type asphalt mixing plant. During daily production of the asphalt mixing plant, a large amount of asphalt smoke will be emitted from the mixing pot discharge port. This smoke not only has an unpleasant smell, but also contains A large number of compounds that are harmful to the human body, such as benzopyrene, benzanthracene, carbazole and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, mostly have carcinogenic risks. Smoke overflow will cause pollution to the surrounding atmospheric environment and affect the personal health of workers. Although the overflow port of the mixing station is equipped with a dust retaining wall, the fine dust is seriously raised, and the cold material belt conveyor is dusty. In order to protect the environment, reduce pollution, and reduce cost investment, based on full research and absorption of technology in the same industry, and combined with the actual situation of asphalt mixing, we are planning to install asphalt mixing bag dust collectors to the flue at the discharge port of the mixing pot to control asphalt fumes. Gas is processed. The dust removal efficiency of the bag dust collector can reach 97%~99%, and the dust-containing gas can be purified to a level of 50mg/Nm3.

Main uses of asphalt mixing plant
Asphalt mixing plant, also called asphalt concrete mixing plant, can produce asphalt mixture, modified asphalt mixture, and colorful asphalt mixture, fully meeting the needs of constructing expressways, graded highways, municipal roads, airports, ports, etc.
The overall composition of asphalt mixing plant
Asphalt mixing equipment mainly consists of batching system, drying system, incineration system, hot material improvement, vibrating screen, hot material storage bin, weighing mixing system, asphalt supply system, powder supply system, dust removal system, product silo and control system, etc. Some composition.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

There is also a reversing valve in the asphalt mixing plant, which generally does not cause problems, so I have not understood its solutions in detail before. But in actual use, we encountered this kind of failure. How should we deal with it?
The failure of the reversing valve of the asphalt mixing station is not complicated, that is, the reversing is not timely, gas leakage, electromagnetic pilot valve failure, etc. The corresponding causes and solutions are of course different. For the reversing valve to not change direction in time, it is generally caused by poor lubrication, the spring is stuck or damaged, oil dirt or impurities get stuck in the sliding part, etc. For this, it is necessary to check the status of the lubricator and the quality of the lubricating oil. Viscosity, if necessary, the lubricant or other parts can be replaced.
After long-term use, the reversing valve is prone to wear of the valve core sealing ring, damage to the valve stem and valve seat, resulting in gas leakage in the valve. At this time, the sealing ring, valve stem and valve seat should be replaced, or the reversing valve should be replaced directly. In order to reduce the failure rate of asphalt mixers, maintenance must be strengthened on a daily basis.

In recent years, asphalt concrete, as a new green building material, is gradually being valued by people because of its excellent performance in saving resources, being environmentally friendly, ensuring the quality of construction projects, and achieving sustainable utilization of resources. The development of asphalt concrete fully embodies my country’s policies to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction, and is also an important measure to promote the development of circular economy.

[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 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.

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 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.

In fact, asphalt mixing stations are not uncommon in our daily lives. They are mainly a unit of equipment specially designed to mix asphalt. What we really don’t understand is the gas system of the asphalt mixing station. Only correct maintenance And operation can bring out the best production effect. So what are the faults in the gas circuit of asphalt mixing station?
The following three points are the more common gas path failures of asphalt mixing stations:
