what issues should we pay attention to when working with asphalt spreading trucks?

The requirements for SBS asphalt emulsification equipment are very high. The micro powder machine must have a sufficiently large driving force and can bear the condensation type. Because the temperature requirements of the emulsion SBS asphalt process are relatively high, the emulsified asphalt should be passed through a heat exchanger before feeding to reduce the emulsified asphalt temperature to below 90°C to prevent the emulsified asphalt from breaking due to excessive temperature.
The application scope of SBS modified emulsified asphalt is very wide. According to the nature of the construction, it can be used in new construction, renovation, and reconstruction projects; according to the nature of the project, it can be used in overhaul, equipment overhaul, and maintenance projects. Among them, the actual application projects include micro-surfacing, cold regeneration, cold mixing and cold paving, adhesive layer, permeable oil, slurry seal, gravel permeable layer, fog permeable layer, road moisture-proofing, SBS membrane, ground seam filling, and all other projects that can use emulsified asphalt.

From three aspects, emulsion bitumen equipment has good economic performance:
First, energy saving. The kerosene or gasoline content in diluted asphalt can reach 50%, while the emulsion bitumen plant only contains 0-2%. This is a valuable saving behavior in the production and utilization of white fuel. By simply increasing the viscosity standard of asphalt by adding light oil solvent, asphalt can be poured and spread, and it is hoped that the light oil after use can evaporate into the atmosphere.
Second, versatility. There are many application methods for emulsion bitumen plants, and the appropriate method needs to be selected when applying it. The same emulsion can be used for large-scale sealing and can be used for small-scale pit repair work. Because they can be stored in tanks for a long time, they are very easy to use when applied in remote areas.
Third, it is easy to use. The professional spreading of emulsions requires professional equipment, such as spreaders. Small-area emulsion applications can be directly poured and spread by hand, such as small-area pit repair work, crack fillers, etc. Small quantities of cold mixes only require basic equipment.

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.

There are many ways to heat bitumen, including using fire source heating, electric heating, steam heating, hot water heating and indirect heating. Fire source heating generates heat by burning fuel to heat the bitumen to a molten state. Electric heating converts electrical energy into thermal energy through electric heating elements to heat the bitumen to a molten state. Steam heating transfers heat to bitumen through steam, heating the bitumen to a molten state. Hot water heating transfers heat to the bitumen through hot water, heating the bitumen to a molten state. Indirect heating transfers heat to the heating medium, which then transfers the heat to the bitumen to heat the bitumen to a molten state.

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.

The modified asphalt equipment produced by Sinoroader can produce SBS, rubber powder, SBR, and PE modified asphalt manually and automatically. Some of its configurations and uses are as follows:
1. Filter: The specially made asphalt filter can effectively filter impurities and foreign matter in the high-temperature matrix asphalt to prevent damage to subsequent equipment.
2. Matrix asphalt heater: The spiral plate or shell and tube heat exchanger is used to quickly heat the matrix asphalt through heat transfer oil to meet the needs of the production process. Heating in a sealed tank avoids the aging of asphalt due to long-term high-temperature heating and exposure to the air. The sulfide produced during the production process is quite limited, reducing environmental pollution.
3. Modifier air delivery or spiral addition system: The modifier manually poured into the pouring hopper is delivered to the asphalt batching tank by wind or spiral. It can be equipped with a metering system.
4. Stabilizer automatic or manual addition system: It can be equipped with a metering system.

Asphalt emulsifiers can be divided into synthetic emulsifiers, natural emulsifiers, inorganic powder emulsifiers, etc. according to their formation. Synthetic emulsifiers are currently the most widely used. Asphalt emulsifiers are a type of organically synthesized surfactant that can emulsify asphalt.
Emulsifiers are divided into ionic and non-ionic types according to whether the hydrophilic group of the emulsifier molecule is charged when the emulsifier is dissolved in water. Ionic emulsifiers are divided into cationic and anionic types due to the different charges of the hydrophilic group after ionization in water. In addition, there are zwitterionic types.
Cationic emulsifiers are divided into three types: fast cracking, medium cracking, and slow cracking according to the speed of demulsification. Slow cracking emulsifiers are divided into slow setting and fast setting according to the length of time the mixture solidifies. Slow cracking and slow setting types are mainly used as permeable oils. Slow cracking and fast setting are used for micro-surfacing, slurry sealing, cold regeneration, etc. Medium cracking and fast cracking types are used for adhesive layer oils, gravel sealing layers, and waterproof base oils.

To ensure good operation of asphalt melting equipment and extend its service life, regular maintenance and repairs are required. The following are specific maintenance and repair steps:
First, various parts of the equipment, including heating elements, pipes, valves, etc., need to be inspected regularly to make sure they are not worn or damaged. If any problems are found, they should be repaired or replaced immediately.

Emulsified asphalt equipment hot-melts basic colored asphalt and mechanically distributes tiny colored asphalt particles in an aqueous solution containing emulsifier to form a liquid colored asphalt material. The cement emulsified asphalt equipment mortar used in slab ballastless track construction uses cationic emulsified asphalt equipment. The purpose is to adjust the elasticity, toughness and durability of the cement emulsified asphalt equipment mortar. Polymers are often used to modify the asphalt.

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.

Working conditions of asphalt debarreling equipment:
(1) Outdoor temperature: 20°C (average temperature of day and night)
(2) Heat exchange oil: 320 ℃
(3) Loading time is not included (because the personnel equipped in each unit are different, so the loading time is also different)
(4) There is no fluctuation in oil temperature (optimal automatic burner)
(5) The working temperature of the oil furnace is 220-260 ℃
(6) The flow rate of the oil circulation pump is not less than 50m3/h traffic
(7) When the outdoor temperature is lower than 20℃, the output decreases. The lower the temperature, the lower the output, and the higher the temperature, the higher the output.
(8) The greater the deformation of the asphalt barrel, the greater the impact on the output

Asphalt spreader vehicle is an intelligent and automated high-tech product that specializes in spreading emulsified asphalt, diluted asphalt, hot asphalt, high-viscosity modified asphalt, etc.
Asphalt spreader is used for spreading the penetration oil, waterproof layer, and bonding layer of the bottom layer of the asphalt pavement of high-grade highways. The spreader consists of a car chassis, an asphalt tank, an asphalt pumping and spraying system, a thermal oil heating system, a hydraulic system, an ignition system, a control system, a pneumatic system, and an operating platform.
Asphalt spreader is cumbersome to operate. On the basis of absorbing various technologies of similar products at home and abroad, it increases the quality technology content of construction and the humanized design of outstanding improvement of construction conditions and construction environment. Its reasonable and reliable design ensures the uniformity of asphalt spreading, the computer control is stable and reliable, and the technical performance of the whole vehicle has reached an advanced level.

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.

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.

The base layer of asphalt pavement is divided into semi-rigid and rigid. Since the base layer and the surface layer are materials of different properties, good bonding and continuity between the two are the key requirements for this type of pavement. In addition, when the asphalt surface layer seeps water, most of the water will be concentrated at the joint between the surface layer and the base layer, causing damage such as slurry, looseness, and potholes to the asphalt pavement. Therefore, adding a lower seal layer on top of a semi-rigid or rigid base layer will play a vital role in enhancing the strength, stability and waterproofing capabilities of the pavement structural layer. The more commonly used one is to use asphalt gravel synchronous sealing technology.
So let’s take a look at how the construction of the asphalt gravel synchronous sealing truck is carried out:

Emulsified asphalt equipment is an indispensable equipment in road construction and one of the basic equipment for waterproof coatings. What are the components of emulsified asphalt equipment? Today, we will explain the various parts of emulsified asphalt equipment in detail.
Required parts
Asphalt pump: a device for supplying asphalt to the colloid mill.
Emulsion pump: a device for supplying emulsion to the colloid mill.
Colloid mill: a device for mixing, homogenizing and emulsifying asphalt and emulsion.
Control system: a device for controlling the flow of asphalt and emulsion, and the start and stop of various pumps.
Emulsion blending: a device for mixing water, emulsifiers and other additives.
Water heating part: a device for heating water.

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.

Preparation items for micro-surfacing slurry sealing: materials, construction machinery (micro-surfacing paver) and other auxiliary equipment.
The micro-surface slurry seal requires emulsified asphalt and stone that meet the standards. The metering system of the micro-surfacing paver needs to be calibrated before construction. The production of emulsified asphalt requires asphalt heating tanks, emulsified asphalt production equipment (capable of producing asphalt content greater than or equal to 60%), and emulsified asphalt finished product tanks. In terms of stone, mineral screening machines, loaders, forklifts, etc. are needed to screen out oversized stones.
The tests required include emulsification test, screening test, mixing test and the equipment and technical personnel required to do these tests.

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.

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.

The main filter material of stainless steel barrel removal adopts five-layer sintered mesh. Standard five-layer calcination is made by stacking and vacuum calcining five layers of stainless steel barrel removal wire mesh. The stainless steel barrel made of it has corrosion resistance, good water permeability, high compressive strength, easy cleaning and back-cleaning, high filtration precision, hygienic and clean filter material, and stainless steel barrel removal wire mesh does not fall off.
Double-layer metal sintered mesh is a new type of filtration system with high impact toughness and overall rigidity, which is made by stacking and vacuum calcining double-layer stainless steel barrel removal wire mesh products.

After the rubber bitumen storage tank is cleaned, the wood chips are sent to the rubber bitumen storage tank, and the wood chips and the bottom of the rubber bitumen storage tank are wiped with wood chips. The dirt and wood chips in the bitumen tank can be weathered naturally. The rubber bitumen storage tank is not allowed to be damaged. Check the technical specifications of the underwater concrete processing equipment and ventilation equipment.
The bottom of the rubber bitumen storage tank drain pipe is discharged from the drainage pipe, and the waste water is discharged into the empty tank or other containers through the inlet and outlet and the self-draining pipe. Open the Shenzhen manhole into the plastic suction pipe and pave the Shenzhen manhole with asbestos to reduce the discharge of oil and gas. When manually pumping the bottom oil, two people should be operated to improve the labor efficiency of the workers and send the fuel tank to supervision.

Synchronous sealing trucks play an important role in road maintenance. Daily maintenance of synchronous sealing trucks is an important part of ensuring the good operation of the equipment and extending its service life. Here are some common maintenance measures:

The advantages of Sinoroader bitumen decanter equipment over similar domestic equipment are reflected in the following points:
1. The equipment produces 8-10t/hour, with an automatic telescopic sealed container structure. It uses an electric hoist to lift the asphalt barrel at the inlet guide tube. Start to control the hydraulic cart forward button, which will promote the barrel push (push and slide into the barrel). It is a 1300mm hydraulic cylinder with a 7.5-ton top thrust. The device has a beautiful appearance, reasonable layout, compactness, stable performance, and is suitable for production under various industrial and mining conditions.
2. Fast barrel removal: According to the principle of layered heating, it adopts four-layer thermal oil heating technology, a single inlet and outlet, and high thermal efficiency of heating; at the same time, it uses the waste heat of combustion gas for two heatings and efficient use of energy; the barrel body uses high-quality rock wool insulation material.
3. Good environmental protection: closed structure, no pollution.
4. No barrel hanging: The upper part of the asphalt barrel is hot, and each is directly affected by the thermal oil heating pipe. The barrel wall directly receives the heat dissipation of the heating coil, and the barrel is clean and fast, which will not cause waste of asphalt barrel hanging.
5. Strong adaptability: Suitable for imported and domestic barrels, and the deformation of asphalt barrels will not affect production.
6. Good dehydration: Use a large-displacement asphalt pump for internal circulation, stirring, water vapor overflows, and is naturally discharged from the exhaust port. After dehydration, asphalt can be directly used to produce asphalt mixture or used as matrix asphalt.
7. Automatic slag removal: This set of equipment has an automatic slag removal function. The filter device sets the asphalt circulation pipeline through the filter, which can automatically remove the barreled asphalt slag.
8. Safe and reliable: The equipment adopts an automatic control system, an automatic ignition burner import, can automatically control the temperature according to the temperature, and is equipped with corresponding monitoring instruments.
9. Convenient relocation: The whole machine is assembled with large components, which is easy to move and quick to assemble.

Each F1 track must be paved with three layers of asphalt, middle and lower, of which the lowest layer is 10 cm coarse asphalt concrete bearing layer, its flatness is less than 8 mm; In the middle is a 4 cm medium grained asphalt concrete bond layer, its flatness is less than 5 mm; The top layer uses 4 cm modified asphalt mixture as the surface wear layer, and the flatness is less than 2 mm.

The paved F1 track cannot have more than 3 points per kilometer of flatness detection, which is much higher than the highway.

Emulsified asphalt equipment is a special equipment for producing emulsified asphalt. The emulsified asphalt produced by emulsified asphalt equipment is used in many industries. I wonder how much you know about the emulsified asphalt produced by emulsified asphalt equipment. Let’s take a look at them one by one:
Slurry seal is a cold mix asphalt mixture with the advantages of aggregate and asphalt mixing. Under normal circumstances, similar graded slurry seal has a higher modulus than hot mix asphalt mixture, so it is often used to fill road rutting. The higher stability has a higher resistance to deformation. The mixture is usually composed of harder fine aggregate grading and wear-resistant aggregate with high sand equivalent, especially micro-seal and polymer-modified seal. This greatly increases the strength and integrity of the road surface. This makes the road surface have high wear resistance and excellent deformation resistance. Emulsified asphalt emulsion is also easy to use on a mobile slurry seal paver, where mixing and admixtures are used for chemical control to meet maintenance needs.

Colored asphalt pavement is a kind of special pavement material that mixes colored particles into asphalt and then lays on the pavement

Emulsified asphalt can be spread by mechanical spreading and manual spreading. Different spreading methods will have different effects on pavement performance, so it is very important to choose the right spreading method. At the same time, maintenance and management after spreading are equally important to ensure the safety and durability of the pavement.
Emulsified asphalt is a common pavement material that is widely used in road construction and maintenance. There are two main ways to spread emulsified asphalt: mechanical spreading and manual spreading. Mechanical spreading generally uses a special spreading vehicle that can quickly and evenly spread emulsified asphalt. Manual spreading is carried out by workers using tools such as brushes or rollers, which is suitable for pavement treatment in small areas or special areas.
Different spreading methods also have different effects on pavement performance. Mechanical spreading can quickly complete large-area treatment and spread evenly, which is conducive to ensuring the flatness and anti-skid properties of the pavement. Manual spreading can more finely treat special areas such as shoulders and intersections to improve the overall performance of the pavement.

There are many types of bitumen emulsifiers, and there are many classification methods. For specific classifications, please refer to previous articles. The raw materials required for the production of emulsion bitumen are: bitumen, water and bitumen emulsifier. High-standard emulsion bitumen requires adding additives and adjusting acid. According to whether acid adjustment is needed in the emulsion bitumen production process, it can be divided into two categories: emulsion bitumen that requires acid adjustment and emulsion bitumen that does not require acid adjustment.

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 equipments can greatly improve construction efficiency, reduce human resources and time costs, and ensure pavement quality at the same time.
First of all, reliable asphalt melter equipment can shorten heating time and work efficiency and avoid wasting energy. Secondly, the equipment is easy to operate and can reduce the incidence of on-site safety accidents. In addition, this equipment has an automatic control and monitoring system that can adjust the working status and parameters at any time to meet different construction needs and environmental conditions.
