During the production, the viscosity of the bitumen melting equipment decreases with the increase of temperature. For every increase of 12℃, its dynamic viscosity decreases by about one time. When manufacturing bitumen melting equipment, the cultivated matrix bitumen must be heated to liquid before emulsion can be carried out. In addition, in order to integrate the dissolution capacity of the colloid mill into the bitumen melting plants, the bitumen melting equipment generally controls the dynamic viscosity of the cultivated matrix bitumen to be about 200cst. The lower the temperature, the higher the viscosity of the asphalt melting plants. Increasing the pressure of the asphalt pump and the colloid mill will make the bitumen melting equipment unable to emulsify.
In order to prevent the water content in the finished product from being vaporized and multi-effect evaporated during the production of the bitumen melting equipment, it is also difficult to heat the temperature of the cultivated matrix bitumen of the bitumen melting equipment too high. Generally, the temperature of the finished product at the inlet and outlet of the colloid mill should be controlled to be lower than 85℃. The temperature of the asphalt melting equipment during production and the key control method of the viscosity of the asphalt melting plant should be properly operated according to the instructions, so that its characteristics can be fully demonstrated. There are many different models and specifications of bitumen melting equipment.
Because general bitumen melter equipment also has different classifications, when manufacturing modified material bitumen melting equipment, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the commonly used raw materials are required for general asphalt melting plant and ensure quality and quantity. Asphalt melting equipment is a compound of high molecular weight nitrogen oxides, which is very sensitive to temperature. When the temperature is higher than 180°C, the bitumen in the bitumen melting plant dissolves into dispersed carbon, and the precipitation of cementite and bitumen melting equipment substances seriously affects the elongation and adhesion of bitumen, and affects the properties and performance of bitumen.
Temperature is an important factor affecting the properties and performance of bitumen melting plants, so the heating temperature and heating time must be strictly controlled. If the temperature of the bitumen melting plant is too high or the heating time is too long, the performance of the bitumen melting equipment will be affected to varying degrees, thereby affecting the quality of construction. The temperature of the vulcanized rubber asphalt melter equipment must be maintained during use.

    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.

    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.
