What issues need to be considered when using asphalt heating equipment?

According to the configuration, layout and controllability of bitumen melting equipment, bitumen melting plant can be divided into three types: mobile, transportable and portable. What should be paid attention to in the production of bitumen melter equipment of different sizes? Let’s learn about it below!
Bitumen melting plant is to fix the demulsifier mixing equipment, black anti-static tweezers, asphalt pump, automatic control system, etc. on a special support chassis. Because the bitumen melter equipment can directly change the production site, it is suitable for the production of emulsion bitumen in construction sites with decentralized projects, small usage and frequent movement.
The main components of the bitumen melting equipments are installed in one or two 60 standard containers. The bitumen melting plant is loaded and transported separately to complete the relocation of the construction site. With the help of asphalt melting equipments hoisting equipment, it is quickly installed and put into operation. Such bitumen melter plant has large, medium and small different configurations, which can meet different project requirements.

Fog seal is an asphalt pavement maintenance construction method.
When the asphalt pavement has increased water permeability, loss of fine aggregate, cracks, pitting, etc., a fog seal layer can be used for pavement repair. The bonding material of the fog seal layer is fluid, can repair cracks and gaps, and can heal cracks below 0.3. After construction, the oil content of the road surface is increased, the anti-sticking aggregate is loosened, and it can play a waterproof role.
Before construction, the original road surface should be surveyed and analyzed to determine the construction bonding materials and spray volume.
So what precautions should be taken during construction?

The viscosity of the drum bitumen decanter equipment decreases as the temperature increases during the production process. Its output viscosity is about twice as high as every 12°C increase. During production, the base bitumen decanter equipment must first be heated to a liquid state and then emulsified. In order to better integrate the emulsification ability of colloid milling, the viscosity of base bitumen decanter is generally controlled to be about 200 cst. The lower the temperature, the higher the viscosity, which increases the pressure on the bitumen decanter pump and colloid milling, making emulsification impossible: However, on the other hand, in order to prevent the bitumen decanter equipment from weaning when the moisture of the finished product evaporates, it is impossible to heat the base asphalt barrel removal temperature too high, and generally use a colloid grinding inlet and outlet system. The finished product temperature should be below 85°C.

Water is one of the raw materials of the modified asphalt storage tank, and it is distributed in various components of the modified asphalt storage tank equipment. According to the components where water is distributed, the anti-cold measures are explained one by one. The water tank of the modified asphalt storage tank, the water inside the water tank is released through the filter valve. Some instruments of the modified asphalt storage tank do not have a filter valve to save the cost of the equipment. The modified asphalt storage tank can only be drained by loosening the flange bolts at the bottom. The water pump of the modified asphalt storage tank mentioned here includes a hot water pump and a circulating water pump. This type of water pump for the modified asphalt storage tank generally uses a pipeline centrifugal pump. There is a sewage outlet at the bottom of the pipeline centrifugal pump. The modified asphalt storage tank pays attention to the sewage treatment of the sewage outlet at the bottom of the pump. The modified asphalt storage tank emulsion tank generally uses a cone bottom. However, in order to better process the modified asphalt storage tank coefficient, the inlet and outlet are usually not placed at the bottom of the modified asphalt storage tank. Emulsion (mostly water) will remain at the bottom of the tank, and this part of the residual liquid in the modified asphalt storage tank must be discharged through the filter valve at the bottom. Emulsion pump for modified asphalt storage tank There are basically two types of emulsion pumps for modified asphalt storage tank equipment on the market, gear pumps or centrifugal water pumps. Gear pumps can only discharge the liquid inside the pump through the connection flange of the pipeline. The centrifugal water pump for modified asphalt storage tanks uses its own sewage outlet for sewage treatment. The first four items of modified asphalt storage tanks with basic knowledge are basically discharged, and the modified asphalt storage tanks will focus on the latter types. Modified asphalt storage tank colloid mill There will also be residual emulsion or water inside the modified asphalt storage tank colloid mill. The gap between the stator and rotor of the colloid mill is within 1mm. If there is a little residual water in the modified asphalt storage tank, it will cause the accident of frozen modified asphalt storage tank. The residue in the colloid mill can be treated by loosening the connection bolts of the finished product pipeline.

The bitumen decanter equipment is mainly composed of barrel removal shell (BOX), hoisting mechanism, hydraulic booster and electrical control system. The shell is divided into two chambers, the left and right chambers. The upper chamber is a chamber for melting a large barrel of bitumen (definition: the transformation process of a substance from solid to liquid). There are heating coils evenly distributed around it.

With the rapid development of highway construction and the increase in demand for asphalt, barreled bitumen has been widely used for its convenient transportation and easy storage. In particular, most of the high-performance imported bitumen used in high-grade highways is in barrel form, which requires an bitumen melter equipment with fast melting speed, clean debarreling, and prevention of asphalt aging.
The upper part of the debarreler of the bitumen melter equipment is hotter, and each barrel is directly heated by the heat transfer oil coil. The barrel wall directly bears the heat radiation of the heating coil. The asphalt is cleanly and sensitively debarreled, and there will be no waste of asphalt hanging barrels. According to the principle of layered heating, four-layer heating technology is adopted, with single inlet and single outlet of heat transfer oil, and high thermal efficiency of heating; at the same time, the waste heat of combustion exhaust gas is used for secondary heating, and power is effectively used; the debarreler body is insulated with high-quality rock wool material. It is suitable for various types of imported and domestic barrels, and the deformation of asphalt barrels will not affect production.

Preventive pavement maintenance is a periodic mandatory maintenance measure, which is taken to restore the pavement surface service function when the pavement structure strength is sufficient and only the surface function is attenuated. New preventive maintenance technologies such as super-viscous fiber-added low-noise micro-surfacing and synchronous gravel seal have been widely used on the main lines of national highways, and the construction effect has been widely praised by customers.
Super-viscous fiber-added low-noise micro-surfacing starts with the gradation of micro-surfacing and the main material modified emulsified asphalt. By reducing the structural depth of the micro-surfacing and changing the distribution state of the coarse and fine materials on the surface of the micro-surfacing, the driving noise is reduced, while ensuring its anti-skid performance, effectively improving its adhesion, waterproofness, durability and crack resistance, and can solve the defects of easy detachment, excessive noise and reflective cracks of ordinary micro-surfacing.

In the cold winter, the following points should be noted when using bitumen melter equipment:

1. Keep warm: The bitumen melter equipment needs to be operated indoors or in a place with sunshade facilities, and ensure that the temperature of the bitumen melter and the surrounding environment is kept within an appropriate range.
2. Check the bitumen melting equipment: Before use, the bitumen melter should be checked, including whether the circuit, liquid circuit and other parts of the equipment are working properly, and whether the equipment has leakage, water leakage and other conditions.
3. Pay attention to safety: During operation, protective bitumen melter equipment should be worn to avoid direct contact with hot bitumen. At the same time, avoid overloading the bitumen melter to prevent equipment damage and safety accidents.
4. Control speed: Reasonably control the working speed of the bitumen melting equipment according to weather conditions and road conditions to avoid overheating of the equipment, which may cause the bitumen to flow too quickly or burn.
5. Storage conditions: When not in use, place the equipment in a dry, ventilated and moderately warm place, and ensure that the residue in the equipment is completely cleaned.

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

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.

Asphalt spreader is an irreplaceable tool for highway maintenance. Asphalt spreader is an irreplaceable tool for highway maintenance. Highway maintenance is divided into four categories according to the nature of the project, scale, and technical complexity: minor repair, medium repair, major repair, and improvement. Specific classification:
(1) Minor repair and maintenance project: preventive maintenance and repair of slightly damaged parts of the highway and all its engineering facilities to keep them in good condition. It is usually planned and carried out daily by the maintenance team within the annual minor repair and maintenance quota funds on a monthly (ten-day) basis.
(2) Medium repair project: regular repair and reinforcement of general wear and tear and local damage of highway engineering facilities to restore them to their original state. It is usually planned and implemented by grassroots road maintenance agencies on an annual (seasonal) basis.
(3) Major repair project: periodic comprehensive repair of major damage to highway facilities to fully restore them to the original design standards, or local improvements and individual additions within the original technical level to gradually improve the highway’s traffic capacity. It is usually organized and implemented by grassroots road maintenance agencies or with the help of their superior agencies according to the approved annual project budget.
(4) Improvement projects are large projects that improve the technical level of roads and their engineering facilities in stages and sections due to their inability to meet traffic volume and load requirements, or significantly improve traffic capacity through improvements. It is usually organized and implemented or completed through bidding by regional road maintenance agencies or provincial road maintenance agencies according to the approved plan and design budget.

The hydraulic bitumen decanter equipment produced by our company uses thermal oil as the heat carrier and has its own burner for heating. The thermal oil heats, melts, debarks and dehydrates the asphalt through the heating coil. This device can ensure that the asphalt does not age, and has the advantages of high thermal efficiency, fast barrel loading/unloading speed, improved labor intensity, and reduced environmental pollution.

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.

This set of emulsified asphalt production equipment includes water treatment, water storage tanks, water active metering and temperature control systems, asphalt storage tanks, asphalt external temperature systems, hot water pump soap batching systems, soap temporary storage tanks, soap transfer pumps, soap liquid It consists of external temperature system and metering system, filter, hot asphalt transfer pump and metering system, three-stage pipeline emulsifier, emulsified asphalt cooling system and recovery equipment, product tank and electrical automatic control system.
The entire process is modularly designed, and users can freely combine and select according to their needs. The equipment of each part is used as follows: Water treatment system: Mechanical filtration of ordinary tap water absorbs resin exchange reactions, turning high-hardness tap water into pure soft water and reducing water tension. , enhance the emulsification effect of asphalt or modified asphalt.

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 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.

Contemporary roads and pavements have undergone many changes: traffic volume and driving frequency have increased significantly, the axle load of logistics trucks has continued to increase, one-way driving in separate lanes has been widely implemented, and regulations have further improved the anti-flow resistance of the ground, that is, the work of modified asphalt equipment under high temperatures ability;

In modern highway maintenance work, how to repair asphalt pavement quickly and effectively has become one of the key issues. As an advanced repair technology, cold patching technology is very popular because of its convenient construction and remarkable effects.
What is the cold patching process?
Cold patching process, as the name suggests, refers to a technical method for repairing asphalt pavement without heating. This process uses a specially proportioned cold-patch asphalt mixture. This material can maintain good fluidity and adhesion even at lower temperatures, thus ensuring the quality of the repair.
Advantages of cold patching process
Fast construction: Cold patching materials can be directly applied to damaged areas without preheating, and are immediately open to traffic, greatly shortening repair time.
All-weather construction: Whether in hot summer or cold winter, cold patching materials can be effectively constructed and are not affected by the weather.
Easy to operate: Thanks to its good working properties, even small damaged areas can be repaired easily.
Environmentally friendly: The construction process reduces environmental pollution and is in line with the concept of green construction.
Application scenarios
The cold patching process is suitable for various types of pavement repair work, especially those places where traffic needs to be restored quickly, such as urban main roads, highway ramps, etc. In addition, the cold patching process is also an ideal choice for remote areas or situations where professional heating equipment is lacking.
In short, the cold patching process has occupied a place in the field of rapid repair of asphalt pavement with its unique advantages and has become an indispensable part of modern highway maintenance.

We need to prepare a lot of work when using modified asphalt equipment. What kind of work do we need to prepare? Next, let me briefly introduce the relevant knowledge points.
1. Heat transfer oil heats and insulates the modified asphalt equipment and nozzle. After spraying, the asphalt pump and nozzle do not need to be cleaned with diesel. Use high-pressure air to press the asphalt in the pipeline and spray pipe back to the tank, and then blow the nozzle; use heat transfer oil to keep warm, so that the pipeline and nozzle are smooth and unobstructed. 2. Various asphalts can be spread: high-viscosity asphalt, hot asphalt, emulsified asphalt, etc.; the spreading width can be freely adjusted, each nozzle can be controlled separately, and the maximum spraying width is up to 6m. Flexible handheld spray guns can be used to spray asphalt on corners. 3. Excellent thermal insulation performance, average cooling ≤1-2℃/h. 4. Convenient loading and unloading function. In addition to filling asphalt from the asphalt tank port, hot asphalt can be sucked out by itself, and external asphalt can also be pumped and transferred. 5. The modified asphalt equipment is evenly spread, and the nozzle design can be used for triple overlapping spraying.
The above are the relevant knowledge points of modified asphalt equipment. I hope the above content can be helpful to everyone. Thank you for your viewing and support. More information will be sorted out for you later. Please pay attention to our website updates.

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.

The bitumen (composition: asphaltene and resin) drum melting machine adopts a self-heating integrated structure, which integrates the thermal oil boiler used in the old asphalt drum melting machine and the barrel removal equipment itself, reducing the volume of the entire equipment and significantly It reduces equipment investment (actual significance: it is the accumulation of future profits), saves the space occupied by the equipment and the logistics cost of switching sites. The combustion chamber is placed inside the equipment itself, which greatly reduces thermal damage and improves heat utilization.

Asphalt melting equipment is an important road construction tool used to heat asphalt to the appropriate temperature for construction. It can provide reliable solutions and make road construction more convenient. The working principle of this equipment is to heat the asphalt to the appropriate temperature through a heater, and then transport the hot asphalt to the construction site through a conveying system.

Synchronized gravel sealing is a process technology for treating cracks in asphalt pavement, and it is currently a road construction and pavement maintenance technology with low energy consumption and high cost performance. Do you know what its six technical features are? If you don’t know, just follow the editor of Sinoroader and take a look.

The container-type emulsified bitumen equipment hot-melts the base cold-mix colored bitumen and disperses it through the equipment into small cold-mix colored bitumen particles in an aqueous solution containing emulsifier to form a liquid cold-mix colored bitumen material.

The slurry seal truck is mainly used for preventive maintenance of municipal pavement. It can improve the quality of the seal, effectively improve the integrity and crack resistance of the seal, extend the service life, and the construction process is simple without adding too many construction links. It is a kind of road maintenance equipment that has become quite popular in recent years.

Precautions during the production of emulsified bitumen equipment. How much do you know about this information? Let’s learn more about it:
When the emulsified bitumen equipment is in production, the viscosity of the bitumen decreases with the increase of temperature. For every 12℃ increase, its dynamic viscosity decreases by about one time. During production, the base bitumen should be heated to liquid state before emulsification. In addition, in order to adapt to the emulsification capacity of the colloid mill, the base bitumen dynamic viscosity is generally controlled to be about 200cst. The lower the temperature, the higher the viscosity, which increases the burden on the bitumen pump and the colloid mill, making it difficult to emulsify; but on the other hand, in order to prevent the demulsification caused by excessive vaporization and evaporation of water in the finished product during the production of emulsified bitumen, it is impossible to heat the base bitumen temperature too high. Generally, the finished product temperature at the outlet of the colloid mill should be controlled to be less than 85℃.
