What are the basic concepts and production process of emulsified modified asphalt equipment?

For the relevant knowledge of modified asphalt equipment, we have more or less introduced it in the above articles. I believe that most users also have some simple understanding of it. Today we also mastered:
In order to meet the different requirements of customers, the configuration and process of the equipment produced by the manufacturers of modified asphalt equipment are diversified. There are fixed production types, mobile types, and imported main machines, but the imported main machines are expensive, so most customers configure domestic pipeline emulsifiers or colloid mills. In terms of the degree of automation, there are fully automatic production and semi-automatic production. Regardless of the form of production, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. What kind of process and configuration is used depends on the annual production volume and the customer’s requirements for equipment, product performance requirements and other factors. I hope that these introductions can help users choose to a certain extent.

In addition to being used according to regulations, modified bitumen equipment should also be maintained regularly in order to effectively extend the service life of modified bitumen equipment. The delivery pump of modified bitumen equipment, as well as its motor and reducer, need to be maintained in accordance with the specifications of the instructions. If the modified bitumen equipment is parked for a long time, the liquid in the tank and pipeline needs to be drained, and each moving component also needs to be filled with grease. The dust in the control box of the modified bitumen equipment needs to be cleaned once every six months. A dust blower can be used to remove dust to prevent dust from entering the machine and damaging parts. The micro powder machine needs to add unsalted butter once for every 100 tons of emulsified bitumen produced.

As technology becomes more and more advanced, we use more and more equipment in our lives, and the functions are also very complete. Synchronous crushed stone seal is also a product used in many places. After continuous improvement and development, it has many functions. Next, we will introduce to you the problem of preventive maintenance of synchronous crushed stone seal? If you want to know, you can read it together.

Regarding the basic knowledge of modified bitumen plant, I believe that many consumers have already had a basic understanding of it. Because of the continuous development of various fields today, various facilities including modified bitumen plants have been well developed and applied, and modified bitumen plant has gradually been recognized by customers.
The direct quick heating portable equipment in the modified bitumen equipment not only has a faster heating speed, saves fuel, and is pollution-free, but also convenient and easy to operate. The automatic heating system completely eliminates the trouble of baking or cleaning bitumen and pipelines.

Whether it is the application of modified asphalt equipment or the application of other equipment, if you want to extend its service life, you need to do daily maintenance work. In order to better help everyone, we have modified asphalt The maintenance methods that can be adopted when using the equipment are introduced as follows:

Asphalt spreading trucks are used to spread the permeable oil layer, waterproof layer and bonding layer of the bottom layer of asphalt pavement on high-grade highways. It can also be used in the construction of county and township-level highway asphalt roads that implement layered paving technology. It consists of a car chassis, an asphalt tank, an asphalt pumping and spraying system, a thermal oil heating system, a hydraulic system, a combustion system, a control system, a pneumatic system, and an operating platform.

Stainless steel bitumen melters use bitumen concrete micro-powder machines. Its blade strength is high, the angular velocity of the moving disc is high, and the gap can be adjusted to 0.15mm. Stainless steel bitumen melters are suitable for the production and processing of various polymer bitumen concrete, such as SBS, PE, EVA, etc.
Stainless steel bitumen melters use independently developed special batching tanks, stainless steel bitumen melter force stirring devices, liquid level meter overflow prevention equipment, granular material dosage and equipment, liquid additive automatic addition equipment and other production key points. It ensures the full-position process guarantee for the stainless steel bitumen melter of the bitumen concrete production line. The stainless steel bitumen melter processing stainless steel bitumen melter rate is significantly increased, and the quality of stainless steel bitumen melters is greatly improved.

For users of equipment, the amount of material used is the focus of every user. We should attach great importance to this link in the production process. The following is an analysis of the amount of emulsifier used by Gaoyuan manufacturers.
When emulsified asphalt equipment is emulsifying asphalt, the asphalt temperature is better controlled at above 130°C to have better fluidity; 2. The amount of emulsifier is generally 8-14‰ of emulsified asphalt, that is, 8-14kg per ton of emulsified asphalt (asphalt content is more than 50%), and the temperature is 60-70°C. The emulsifier should be used in the middle and upper limit of the production, 10 kg per ton of emulsified asphalt, or 20 kg per ton of water (asphalt content is 50%); the amount of BE-3 emulsifier is generally 18-25‰ of emulsified asphalt, that is, 18-25kg per ton of emulsified asphalt (asphalt content is more than 50%), and the emulsifier solution temperature is 60-70°C. The emulsifier should be used in the upper and middle limits in the first production to ensure successful production. Use 24 kg per ton of emulsified asphalt, or 48 kg per ton of water (asphalt content is 50%). After the production goes smoothly, the dosage can be reduced according to actual conditions.

Synchronized gravel sealing is to use special equipment, namely a synchronous gravel sealing truck and bonding materials (modified asphalt or modified emulsified asphalt) to be spread simultaneously on the road surface, and then formed into a single layer through natural traffic rolling or tire roller rolling. A layer of asphalt gravel wearing layer, which is mainly used as the surface layer of the road, and can also be used for the surface layer construction of low-grade highways.

Asphalt spreader is used to spread the penetration oil, waterproof layer and bonding layer of the bottom layer of asphalt pavement of high-grade highway. It can also be used for the construction of county and township highway oil roads with layered paving technology. It consists of a car chassis, an asphalt tank, an asphalt pumping and spraying system, a thermal oil heating system, a hydraulic system, a combustion system, a control system, a pneumatic system, and an operating platform.
Knowing how to properly operate and maintain the asphalt spreader can not only extend the service life of the equipment, but also enable the construction project to proceed smoothly. So what problems should the asphalt spreader pay attention to when working? The technicians of Gaoyuan Road Construction Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. give you tips:
1). Before use, please check whether the position of each valve is accurate and make preparations before work. After starting the motor of the asphalt spreader, check the four thermal oil valves and the pressure gauge. After everything is normal, start the engine and the power take-off starts to work. Test the asphalt pump and circulate for 5 minutes. If the pump head shell is hot, slowly close the thermal oil pump valve. If the heating is insufficient, the pump will not turn or make noise. In this case, the valve needs to be opened to continue heating the asphalt pump until it can operate normally. During the working process, the asphalt liquid must be kept at a working temperature of 160~180℃, and it cannot be filled too full (pay attention to the liquid level pointer during the injection of asphalt liquid, and check the tank mouth at any time). After the asphalt liquid is injected, the filling port must be closed tightly to prevent the asphalt liquid from overflowing during transportation.
2). During use, asphalt may not be pumped in. At this time, it is necessary to check whether the interface of the asphalt suction pipe is leaking. When the asphalt pump and pipeline are blocked by solidified asphalt, a blowtorch can be used for baking, and the pump must not be forced to turn. When baking, care should be taken to avoid directly baking the ball valve and rubber parts.
3). When spraying asphalt, the car should be driven at a low speed. Do not step on the accelerator hard, otherwise it may cause damage to the clutch, asphalt pump and other components. If 6m wide asphalt is spread, pay attention to obstacles on both sides at any time to prevent collision with the spreading pipe. At the same time, the asphalt should be kept in a large circulation state until the spreading work is completed. After the work is completed every day, if there is any remaining asphalt, it must be returned to the asphalt pool, otherwise it will solidify in the tank and cannot work next time.
4). In addition, the emulsifier must also pay attention to daily maintenance:
1. The emulsifier and delivery pump and other motors, agitators, and valves should be maintained daily.
2. The emulsifier should be cleaned after work every day.
3. The speed regulating pump used to control the flow should be regularly tested for accuracy, and adjusted and maintained in time. The asphalt emulsifier should regularly check the matching clearance between its stator and rotor. When the minimum clearance specified by the machine cannot be reached, the stator and rotor should be replaced.
4. If the equipment is out of use for a long time, the liquid in the tank and pipeline should be emptied (the emulsifier aqueous solution should not be stored for a long time), the hole covers should be tightly closed, kept clean, and the running parts should be filled with lubricating oil. When it is used for the first time or when it is used again after a long period of inactivity, the rust in the tank should be removed, and the water filter should be cleaned regularly.
5. Regularly check whether the terminal in the electric control cabinet is loose, whether the wires are worn during shipment, and remove dust to avoid damage to the machine parts. The frequency converter is a precision instrument. Please refer to the instruction manual for specific use and maintenance.
6. There is a heat transfer oil coil in the emulsifier water solution heating stirring tank. When injecting cold water into the water tank, the heat transfer oil switch should be turned off first, and then the switch should be turned on to heat after adding the required amount of water. Pouring cold water directly into the high-temperature heat transfer oil pipeline can easily cause the weld to crack.

Fillers used in emulsion bitumen equipment are generally divided into two types: chemically active and non-chemically active. In the production of emulsion bitumen equipment, it can improve the stability of the slurry mixture, speed up or slow down the demulsification speed, and improve the strength of the sealing layer. When adding chemically active fillers, the reaction and compatibility of the fillers with mineral materials and modified emulsion bitumen should be fully considered.

Improve the understanding of the importance of preventive maintenance
We should further improve the understanding of the importance of preventive maintenance and raise preventive maintenance to the level of highway asset protection and road protection. At present, leaders at all levels and maintenance departments do not fully understand the significance of preventive maintenance of asphalt pavement. We should deepen our understanding of the important role of preventive maintenance and improve the strategic awareness, initiative and creativity of preventive maintenance. At the same time, the maintenance department should strengthen communication and exchanges with transportation authorities and financial management departments at all levels, so that departments at all levels understand the importance and necessity of preventive maintenance and create conditions for the implementation of preventive maintenance and funding sources. At the same time, it is very necessary to add preventive maintenance to the classification of maintenance projects, which will help the management of leaders at all levels and the implementation of preventive maintenance.
Improve the decision-making and planning of preventive maintenance
According to the decision-making and planning process, reasonably arrange the preventive maintenance of asphalt concrete pavement structure to ensure the safe and stable operation of highway projects throughout the life cycle, and reduce production costs while providing high-quality traffic services. Therefore, the key to preventive maintenance of asphalt concrete pavement structure lies in establishing a scientific decision-making and planning mechanism. The Ministry of Transport proposed in the “13th Five-Year Plan for Highway Maintenance Management Development” that the average annual mileage of preventive maintenance for expressways should not be less than 8%, and that for ordinary national and provincial roads should not be less than 5%. In the actual application process, local governments should also actively summarize experience and propose different preventive maintenance ratios based on the specific conditions of different regions.

Recently, I found that many people don’t know much about the operation skills of asphalt pavement spreaders. If you also want to know what’s going on, you can read this introduction below.
Asphalt pavement spreaders are an indispensable and important equipment in road maintenance and construction. Their operation skills directly affect construction efficiency and project quality. The following introduces the operation skills of asphalt pavement spreaders from four aspects: pre-operation preparation, precautions during construction, spreading skills, and post-operation cleaning and maintenance:

Asphalt mixture mixing equipment is a factory-style complete set of equipment that mixes dry and heated aggregates of different particle sizes, fillers and asphalt according to the designed mix ratio at a specified temperature into a uniform mixture. It is widely used in high-grade highways and urban roads. , airports, docks, parking lots and other engineering construction. It is a key equipment for asphalt pavement construction, and its performance directly affects the quality of asphalt pavement.
Generally, there are two types of asphalt concrete mixing equipment: intermittent type and continuous type. The continuous process flow is simple and the equipment is simplified. As for the intermittent forced mixing equipment, due to the secondary screening of aggregates, various components are measured in batches, and forced stirring and mixing can reliably ensure gradation, and the measurement of powder and asphalt can also achieve very high accuracy; so the mixing equipment The asphalt mixture produced is of high quality and can meet various construction requirements.

With the rapid development of our country’s social development and the continuous development of economic and information technology, modern highway construction is also developing rapidly, and the requirements for ground structural materials are becoming higher and higher, and Asphalt concrete bonding raw materials are inseparable from modified asphalt equipment. So besides these influencing factors, what other reasons does the company have that people don’t understand? Let’s analyze it together.
There are some asphalt concrete equipment on the market, because they have not solved the problem of asphalt clogging before grinding, there are not enough preparation equipment and grinding equipment, the structure is unscientific, and the entire grinding process cannot achieve a certain particle size, resulting in modification. The product productivity of asphalt equipment is low and the product quality is unstable. It requires continuous grinding for a long time, creating problems. This will not only greatly increase energy consumption, increase costs, make product quality unstable, and affect the speed of highway construction.

Emulsified modified asphalt equipment includes sewage treatment, water storage tank, water metering and verification temperature control system, asphalt storage tank, asphalt external temperature control system, hot water pump soap seasoning system, soap storage tank, soap mixing pump, soap external temperature control system and metering and verification system, filter, hot asphalt mixing pump and metering and verification system, pipeline black anti-static tweezers, emulsified asphalt cooling system and retrieval equipment, product tank and electrical control system.
The whole set of procedures is modularized, and customers can freely match and use according to their needs. The application of each part of the equipment is as follows: Sewage treatment system: Mechanically filter and adsorb the general drinking water to react with epoxy resin to convert the strong drinking water into pure softened water, reduce the water holding capacity, and improve the emulsion effect of asphalt or asphalt concrete.

In the cold winter, you need to pay attention to the following points when using asphalt melting equipment:
1. Protection from cold and warmth: The equipment needs to be operated indoors or in a place with shading facilities, and ensure that the temperature of the equipment and the surrounding environment is maintained within an appropriate range.
2. Check the equipment: Before use, the equipment should be checked, including whether the circuits, fluid circuits and other parts of the equipment are working normally, and whether there are any leaks of electricity or water in the equipment.
3. Pay attention to safety: During operation, you should wear protective equipment and avoid direct contact with hot asphalt. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid equipment overload operation and prevent equipment damage and safety accidents.
4. Control speed: Reasonably control the working speed of the equipment according to weather conditions and road conditions to avoid overheating of the equipment, causing asphalt to flow too quickly or burn.
5. Storage conditions: When not in use, place the device in a dry, ventilated place with moderate temperature, and ensure that any residue in the device is completely removed.

Before use, please check whether the position of each valve is accurate and make preparations before work. After starting the motor of the asphalt spreading truck, check the four thermal oil valves and air pressure gauge. After everything is normal, start the engine and the power take-off starts to work. Try running the asphalt pump and cycle for 5 minutes. If the pump head shell is hot to your hands, slowly close the thermal oil pump valve. If the heating is insufficient, the pump will not rotate or make noise. You need to open the valve and continue to heat the asphalt pump until it can operate normally.

After the emulsified asphalt equipment has been used for a long time, it needs maintenance. There are several points to note when adjusting the emulsified asphalt equipment:
1. During use, regular maintenance should be carried out as appropriate according to the processing materials;
2. For the maintenance and use of the motor, please refer to the motor instruction manual;
3. Most of the random spare parts are national standard and department standard parts, which are purchased all over the country;
4. The colloid mill is a high-precision machine with a line speed of up to 20m/second and a very small grinding disc gap. After overhaul, the coaxiality error between the housing and the main shaft must be corrected with a dial indicator to ≤0.05mm;
5. When repairing the machine, it is not allowed to be directly knocked with an iron bell during the disassembly, reassembly and adjustment process. Use a wooden hammer or a wooden block to knock gently to avoid damaging the parts;
6. The seals of this machine are divided into static and dynamic seals. The static seal uses an O-type rubber ring and the dynamic seal uses a hard mechanical combined seal. If the hard sealing surface is scratched, it should be repaired by grinding on flat glass or flat castings immediately. The grinding material should be ≥200# silicon carbide grinding paste. If the seal is damaged or cracked seriously, please replace it immediately.

According to statistics, among the high-grade highways that have been built and opened to traffic in my country, about 80% are asphalt pavements. However, with the development of time, the influence of various climatic and environmental factors, and the high-intensity driving load, the asphalt pavement will have different degrees of degradation or damage. Pavement maintenance is to take effective technical means to slow down this degradation, so that the pavement can provide good service quality during its service life.

Conventional pit repair techniques are mainly hot material repair and cold filling repair, and warm mixing technology is used to ensure compaction, while there are also some special repair methods such as slurry seal/micro-surface material repair

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.

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.

The slurry seal truck is one of the main maintenance methods of highways. The slurry seal is made of emulsified asphalt as the binding material, well-graded mineral materials, fillers, water and additives, etc., mixed in a certain proportion. The slurry mixture is evenly spread on the old road surface to be treated with a sealing truck, and is firmly combined with the original road surface to form a new thin layer of asphalt mixture. So what preparations need to be done before construction? Let’s find out below.

Before use, please check whether the position of each valve is accurate and make preparations before work. After starting the motor of the asphalt spreading truck, check the four heat transfer oil valves and air pressure gauge. After everything is normal, start the engine and the power take-off starts to work. Try running the asphalt pump and cycle for 5 minutes. If the pump head shell is hot to your hands, slowly close the thermal oil pump valve. If the heating is insufficient, the pump will not rotate or make noise. You need to open the valve and continue to heat the asphalt pump until it can operate normally.

Abstract: Asphalt melting equipment is one of the indispensable equipment in modern road construction. Its main function is to heat a large amount of cold hard asphalt to a suitable working temperature at the construction site. Advanced asphalt melting equipment can greatly improve construction efficiency, reduce human resources and time costs, and ensure pavement quality at the same time.

Bitumen melter equipment plays an important role in highway construction, but traditional heating methods have problems such as high energy consumption and low efficiency. This article introduces a new type of bitumen melting plant, which uses electric heating technology and has the advantages of energy saving, environmental protection and environmental protection. The working principle of this equipment is to heat the bitumen through the heat generated by the resistance wire, and then automatically adjust the temperature and flow rate through the control system to achieve the best melting effect.

No matter the application of emulsified asphalt equipment or other related equipment, in the application of appropriate maintenance work, today we introduce professional technicians to do the following 3 points to effectively improve the utilization rate of asphalt equipment:
1. When the emulsified asphalt plant is out of use for a long time, the liquid in the pipeline and storage tank should be discharged, the lid should be sealed, kept clean, and all moving parts are lubricated. When it is used for the first time and disabled for a long time, the rust of the oil tank should be removed, and the water filter should be cleaned regularly.
2. When the outdoor temperature is lower than -5℃, the emulsified asphalt production equipment shall not store the product without insulation device, and it should be discharged in time to avoid freezing and demulsification of emulsified asphalt.
3. The gap between the stator and the rotor of the emulsified asphalt equipment should be checked regularly. When the machine cannot meet the smaller gap requirements, the stator and rotor should be replaced.

From the current point of view, road construction machinery has bottomed out and asphalt meltering equipment has risen rapidly. In recent years, highway construction and maintenance departments have a strong awareness of using asphalt mixing equipment, especially in developed coastal areas such as Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, etc. In addition, these regions have a fast economic growth rate, relatively developed industry, and strong comprehensive economic strength. Therefore, the consumption of asphalt mixing equipments in these regions has always been at the forefront of the country. With the rapid development of highway construction and the increase in demand for asphalt, barreled asphalt has been widely used for its convenient transportation and easy storage. In particular, most of the high-performance imported asphalt used in high-grade highways is in barrel form, which requires an asphalt meltering equipment with fast melting speed, clean de-barreling, and can prevent asphalt aging. my country’s highway construction has achieved remarkable results, among which mechanized production has contributed greatly. Different types of asphalt mixers and bitumen meltering equipment are selected for the characteristics of large highway pavement construction and tight construction period. With the rapid development of my country’s economy, the further extension of expressways, and the large-scale development of western construction, the central and western regions have become new investment hotspots. While paying attention to the market in the developed eastern regions, domestic road construction machinery manufacturers have also increased their efforts to develop the central and western markets, creating new highlights for the domestic asphalt mixing plants consumer market. In summary, my country’s asphalt mixing plant sales market has begun to move westward with the westward movement of investment hotspots. As the market center of gravity gradually shifts westward, the market in the western region is gradually heating up. The self-heating integrated structure, hot air barrel melting and bitumen barrel flipping technology in the asphalt barrel removal equipment are our company’s self-heating integrated structure. The thermal oil furnace used in the old equipment is perfectly integrated with the asphalt barrel removal equipment body, which reduces the volume of the entire set of equipment, greatly reduces equipment investment, saves equipment space and transfer transportation costs.
