What is the difference between bitumen and modified bitumen, and which one is better?

Bitumen is a mixture of organic compounds. The road surface paved with bitumen by modified emulsified bitumen equipment is a seamless continuous road surface with good durability and wear resistance. It does not soften at high temperatures and does not crack at low temperatures. It has been promoted and applied worldwide for its superior performance such as strong bearing capacity, no dust, anti-slip, and noise.
Modified bitumen refers to an asphalt mixture that has been improved by adding modifiers such as rubber, resin, high molecular polymer, and finely ground rubber powder, or by lightly oxidizing bitumen. The excellent performance of modified bitumen equipment comes from the modifiers added to it and the world’s advanced colloid mill; the modifiers can not only merge with each other under the action of temperature and kinetic energy, but also react with bitumen, thereby greatly improving the mechanical properties of bitumen. The modified bitumen produced by modified emulsified bitumen equipment can effectively enhance the load capacity of the road surface, reduce the fatigue of the road surface caused by excessive load, and extend the service life of the road surface exponentially. Therefore, it can be widely used in the paving of high-grade highways, airport runways and bridges.

    We have conducted in-depth research on asphalt distributors and have accumulated a lot of production technology experience. We have conducted professional and in-depth research on some problems existing in the market to provide convenience for everyone in future production applications.
    Every time when spraying asphalt, the asphalt distributor does not spray asphalt. Troubleshooting. The asphalt distributor does not spray asphalt. It is a common fault. The following teaches you how to solve the problem of not spraying asphalt.
    1. No asphalt spraying
    Analysis of the reasons may be the following reasons:
    1. Is the asphalt pump working?
    2. Are the valves adjusted correctly?
    3. Is the pump or pipeline blocked?
    2. Troubleshooting method
    1. Check whether the hydraulic system is working properly?
    2. After adjusting the valve position, the asphalt distributor must be cleaned to avoid pipeline blockage when used next time. Because the asphalt distributor has different high and low configurations, it can spread various high-viscosity and high-temperature modified asphalts and rubber asphalt in high configuration. If you mistakenly use a low-configuration asphalt truck to spread this type of asphalt, you must spray the asphalt inside the entire vehicle clean after the first use. After spraying, in order to leave no residual asphalt, you can use waste diesel to clean it. Our company’s vehicles are equipped with air cleaning and gravity cleaning devices. Diesel cleaning is a reliable cleaning method.

    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.

    In order to better play the role of slurry seal vehicles, this article explains the matters that should be noted from the aspects of the scope of application, type and material selection, construction technology, common diseases, etc. of slurry seal vehicles.
    The slurry seal vehicle is thin in thickness and mainly plays the role of waterproofing, anti-skid, wear-resistant and improving the appearance of the road surface. In the pavement structure system, it can only serve as a surface protection layer and wear layer, but not a load-bearing structure. It is widely used in the construction and maintenance of highways. Practice has proved that the slurry seal can also play an important role by reasonably selecting the thickness and type of the slurry seal and strictly controlling the construction technology and quality.
    (1). The scope of application of slurry seal vehicles includes the following aspects:
    1. When the pavement damage index of expressways and first-class highways is evaluated as medium and below, or the pavement damage index of second-class and below highways is evaluated as secondary and below, when medium repair and overlay measures should be taken, slurry seal can be selected.
    2. When the pavement driving quality index of expressways and first-class highways is evaluated as medium or below, or the pavement driving quality index of second-class and below highways is evaluated as second or below, medium repair and overlay measures should be taken to improve its flatness, and slurry seal can be selected.
    3. For sections of expressways and first-class highways with insufficient anti-skid capacity (SFC<40), or sections of second-class and below highways with insufficient anti-skid capacity (SFC<33.5), measures such as adding overlays should be taken to provide anti-skid capacity of the road surface. 4. Anti-skid layer and waterproof protective layer used for third- and fourth-class highways to improve the appearance of the road surface.
