What is the difference between an asphalt mixing plant and an asphalt mixing plant?

Many people think that since both asphalt mixing plants and asphalt mixing plants are equipment for producing asphalt, there should be no difference between them, even if there is, it is only in appearance and volume. However, asphalt mixing plants and asphalt mixing plants are different in even their basic structure and function.
First, let me introduce the basic structure of an asphalt mixing plant, which includes five major components: material supply system, metering system, mixing system, and electrical control system. In comparison, the structure of an asphalt mixing plant is simpler, without so many components, so its operation and maintenance will be simpler.

Many people think that since both asphalt mixing plants and asphalt mixing plants are equipment for producing asphalt, there should be no difference between them, even if there is, it is only in appearance and volume. However, asphalt mixing plants and asphalt mixing plants are different in even their basic structure and function.
First, let me introduce the basic structure of an asphalt mixing plant, which includes five major components: material supply system, metering system, mixing system, and electrical control system. In comparison, the structure of an asphalt mixing plant is simpler, without so many components, so its operation and maintenance will be simpler.
Moreover, in an asphalt mixing plant, the aggregate silo is located above the equipment, and the aggregate enters the mixer directly after metering; while in an asphalt mixing plant, it is just the opposite, with the aggregate silo at the bottom, and the aggregate needs to be conveyed by an inclined belt after metering before entering the mixer. It is precisely because the aggregate silo in the asphalt mixing plant is at the top, so the steel structure will be larger, and the inclined belt will be relatively longer, but its production efficiency will also be higher. In actual operation, the energy consumption and failure rate will increase due to the frequent start-up of the inclined belt of the asphalt mixing plant; while the energy consumption and failure rate of the asphalt mixing plant are relatively low. In addition, since the production capacity of the mixing plant is small and the structure is easy to disassemble and assemble, it can be formed into a container transfer location, which is suitable for construction sites.
The asphalt mixing plant belongs to the building structure, with a large volume and high productivity. It can only be used as a fixed mixing device, which is suitable for large-scale water conservancy projects or large-volume asphalt supply. When choosing, users should choose the appropriate equipment based on the number of aggregate lifting times, production efficiency and other aspects.

    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.

    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.
