What are the maintenance tasks of asphalt tanks in asphalt mixing plants?

The drying drum of the asphalt mixing plant should pay attention to daily inspection, correct operation and reasonable maintenance, so as to extend its service life and reduce the cost of engineering use.
1. Pay attention to daily inspection. Before the asphalt mixing plant officially works, the drying drum needs to be tested and inspected to see whether each pipeline is reliably connected, whether the lubrication of the whole machine is feasible, whether the motor can be started, whether the functions of each pressure valve are stable, whether the instrument is normal, etc.
2. Correct operation of the mixing station. At the beginning of the asphalt mixing plant, manual operation can only switch to automatic control after reaching the specified production capacity and discharge temperature. The aggregate should be dry and have a standard mode so that it can maintain a constant temperature when flowing through the drying drum. When the entire aggregate is sent to dry, the moisture content will change. At this time, the burner should be used frequently to compensate for the change in moisture. During the rolling stone processing, the amount of water directly formed is basically unchanged, the amount of combustion accumulation increases, and the amount of water in the deposited accumulation material may change.
3. Reasonable maintenance of the asphalt mixing plant. Aggregates should be deactivated when the asphalt mixing plant is not in operation. After work every day, the equipment should be operated to discharge the aggregate into the dryer. When the material in the hopper leaves the combustion chamber, the combustion chamber should be closed and allowed to idle for about 30 minutes to cool down, so as to reduce its impact or make the machine run in a straight line. Install the drying cylinder fixing ring on all rollers synchronously.

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.

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 mixer plant 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.

Due to its complexity and importance, asphalt mixing plants are more critical in road construction. Modern asphalt mixing stations have five key systems. Do you know what they are?
1. Mixing system of asphalt mixing plant
Mixing equipment is one of the key systems, why? Usually, the productivity of the mixing equipment has a great impact on the next step of construction efficiency. Most asphalt mixing plants use twin-shaft forced mixing. Since the drying drum and burner of the mixing equipment have strong overload capabilities, and in most cases, the moisture content of the mineral materials is less than 5%, this improves the productivity of the mixing equipment. provide conditions. The mixing blades of the mixer have an adjustable assembly angle and are driven by dual mixing shafts and dual motors.

In recent years, asphalt pavement has dominated highway surfaces. With the rapid development of our country’s national economy, highway traffic volume is increasing, axle loads are increasing rapidly, vehicle speeds are increasing, and there are more and more quality problems occurring on asphalt pavements. Some are damaged after repair, and some have a service life of up to Less than design age. This has put forward increasingly higher requirements for the quality of asphalt pavement, and an important factor affecting the performance of asphalt surface layers is the gradation composition of the mixture. This article discusses the mix design of asphalt mixture.

The asphalt mixing equipment mentioned here may also refer to an asphalt concrete mixing plant. At present, asphalt mixing equipment generally uses a complete set of equipment for mixing. So what are the benefits of using a complete set of equipment?
1. More effective.
In today’s industrial production, a complete set of asphalt mixing equipment can help improve production efficiency and ensure product quality. This is why even in a mixing plant, the equipment used is a complete set of equipment.
2. Ensure quality.
When mixing asphalt, a certain ratio is set. For this type of asphalt liquid used in different occasions, its ratio control has strict requirements. It is necessary to determine its mixing method and mixing time to ensure that the asphalt liquid is consistent with the production site. One of the advantages of a mixing plant is that the quality can be effectively controlled.
3. It can be sampled.
After mixing at the mixing plant, the quality inspector can sample and inspect to ensure that the mixed asphalt liquid meets the use requirements.
In short, asphalt mixing equipment will use a complete set of equipment, mainly to facilitate the later asphalt to meet production needs. Through the mixing plant, the mixing time and feeding sequence can be better controlled, so that the mixed product can meet different use requirements. And after using the archiving equipment, effective spot checks can be carried out, which can better ensure that the quality meets the construction requirements.

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:

The quality of the asphalt mixing plant will be a key factor affecting the quality of the project. After reviewing relevant materials related to the production and construction of asphalt concrete, we summarized some cases of failures in asphalt concrete mixing stations during construction and analyzed the reasons.
1. Unstable output and low production efficiency of asphalt mixing plants
(1) Improper proportioning. The mix ratio of asphalt concrete is divided into target mix ratio and production mix ratio. Among them, the target mix ratio controls the cold material transportation ratio of sand and gravel materials, and the production mix ratio is the mixing ratio of various types of sand and stone materials in the finished asphalt concrete materials specified in the design. The production mix ratio is determined by the laboratory, which directly determines the off-site grading standard of the finished asphalt concrete. The target mix ratio is set to further ensure the production mix ratio, and can be adjusted appropriately during production according to the actual situation. When the target mix ratio or the production mix ratio is not appropriate, the stones stored in each measurement of the asphalt mixing station will be disproportionate, with some overflowing and some other materials, unable to be weighed in time, and the mixing cylinder will be idling, resulting in reduced output.

[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 is a very practical engineering machinery. Especially in the road construction process, it plays an irreplaceable role. Due to its importance, in addition to ensuring its own quality, the use and maintenance of the equipment must be carried out normally. Let’s learn about the daily maintenance requirements of asphalt mixing plants.

When inspecting the asphalt mixing plant, it was found that the asphalt in the pipeline solidified because the temperature of the asphalt transportation pipeline did not meet the requirements. Analysis believes that the reasons for this result are that the high-level oil tank of the heat transfer oil is too low, resulting in poor circulation of the heat transfer oil; the second is that the inner tube of the double-layer pipe is eccentric; the third is that the heat transfer oil pipeline is too long; and the fourth is that the heat transfer oil pipeline is not insulated measure.

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.

1: The site should be located on higher ground and away from residential areas and densely populated areas.
2: The venue should consider the transportation distance and choose a location with convenient transportation.
3: Determine the website construction plan according to the terrain

Asphalt mixing plants are highly professional equipment with complex systems. It is inevitable that some failures will occur during use. So, what are the common hardware failures of asphalt mixing plants? Do you know?
(I) Because its system is relatively complex, when different components have problems, the problems caused may be different. If during the operation, it is found that the material addition of each silo is inaccurate, this problem may be due to the failure of the sensor of the asphalt mixing plant. At this time, the machine should be stopped for inspection and replaced with a new sensor if necessary. It may also be caused by the jamming of the scale bar. At this time, foreign objects should be removed in time.

In general, the development of my country’s asphalt mixing plant industry is very rapid. In the ton segment, it quickly occupied most of the market share. And with the advancement of technology, it can basically meet the current development needs. However, the total demand for some large-scale asphalt mixing plants has not increased or decreased. What are the reasons?
If we analyze from multiple angles, it is not difficult to find that these reasons are also some of the problems faced by my country’s current asphalt mixing plantindustry. These problems are summarized as follows:

When an ordinary asphalt mixing station completes the mixing operation, it will cause great pollution to the surrounding environment. In order to solve this problem, environmentally friendly asphalt mixing equipment came into being. What are the characteristics of this type of equipment?

The actual operation steps of drying drum of asphalt mixing equipment: 1. Pay attention to routine inspection; 2. Proper operation steps; 3. Effective maintenance.
Drying drum is a cylindrical device specially used for heating and drying stones in asphalt mixing equipment. Proper application and maintenance of drying drum can maximize the performance of drying drum, increase its service life and reduce application cost. Let’s take a look at the actual operation steps below.
1. Pay attention to routine inspections
The asphalt mixing equipment drying drum has been tested and inspected before leaving the factory, but it will be subjected to vibration and vibration during transportation to the construction site. A comprehensive inspection should be carried out before use: check whether all anchor bolts are tightened; whether all key pins are properly driven; whether all drive devices are adjusted according to the manufacturer’s instructions; whether all pipe connections are appropriate and whether the three-way joints are reliable; whether the entire equipment is fully lubricated; start the motor and check whether all parts can rotate steadily in the correct rotation direction; whether the pressure gauge can work normally and whether the valve is adjusted to the correct working pressure; whether the burner ignition mechanism is available and whether the gate valve is open.
2. Correct operation steps
After the equipment is started, it is recommended to control the machine manually at the beginning, and then switch to the automatic control mode after achieving the required production volume and pouring temperature. The stone should be dried and have a stable moisture content as much as possible so that the stone can maintain a stable final temperature when passing through the drying drum. If the stones delivered to the drying drum change frequently and the moisture content changes each time, the burner should be adjusted frequently to compensate for these changes.
The stones directly from the crushed stone have a relatively constant moisture content, while the stones from the outdoor storage yard have a higher moisture content, and the moisture content of different piles varies greatly. Therefore, it is best for the stones to come from the same source.

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.

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.

If you look at an asphalt mixing plant from a professional perspective, do you know how to judge its work and significance? In fact, the so-called asphalt mixing station is the one that produces asphalt. We can usually see it in road construction projects. Specifically, it mixes some materials that need to be used during the construction process according to certain proportion requirements. Then complete the corresponding construction work.
Then, we can analyze it from a market perspective. Since it was used in the market, it has been widely praised by users. Today’s asphalt mixing plant technology has been greatly improved, and the entire set of equipment used has a variety of advantages. , such as meeting the requirements of stable control, screening, efficient dust removal, excellent mixing, and green environmental protection during the work process. It is even more obvious when used in large-scale projects such as high-grade highways and airports.

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.

Asphalt mixing plant is a very practical engineering machinery. Especially in the road construction process, it plays an irreplaceable role. Due to its importance, in addition to ensuring its own quality, the use and maintenance of the equipment must be carried out normally. Let’s learn about the daily maintenance requirements of asphalt mixing plants.

In the construction industry, the installation and application of asphalt mixing plants can often be seen. This kind of equipment can complete the processing process of limestone and other powder products. The equipment has a reasonable structure and high working efficiency. It can save more costs for manufacturers during the production of asphalt raw materials. Therefore, the construction and other industries now attach great importance to the application of this equipment. During the production and processing of the equipment, the staff also need to pay attention to several operating skills to ensure that the equipment can operate stably and provide more benefits for production work.

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.

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.

There is also a reversing valve in the asphalt mixer, which generally does not cause problems, so I have not understood its solution in detail before. But in actual use, we encountered this kind of failure. How should we deal with it?
