Asphalt mixing plant equipment generally uses conveyor belt conveyors to transport cold materials. Its main advantages are large conveying capacity, continuous operation, simple equipment structure and automatic control. However, belt deviation is a common fault, which directly affects the drying operation of the drying drum and also affects the production efficiency of the mixing equipment. Therefore, it is very important to solve the belt deviation problem at the operation site of the asphalt mixing plant equipment.
1. Belt deviation condition
The belt of the conveyor belt conveyor is a ring-shaped closed structure. During normal operation, the conveyor belt runs in a circular turnover, and the center lines of the upward and downward belts are parallel to each other or in the same plane. The operation is stable without jumping, and the deviation along the width of the belt does not exceed 5% of the width of the belt; the tensile stress of the belt along its width is equal. During the operation of the conveyor belt conveyor, when the deviation of the belt exceeds 5% of its width, it is called belt deviation. At this time, the center lines of the upward and downward belts are not parallel or in the same plane, and the tensile stress of the belt along its width direction changes, and the tensile stress of the belt on the deviation side increases.
2. Reasons for deviation
When the conveyor belt is running, the belt contacts the roller. The interaction force between the belt and the roller is related to the contact degree and friction coefficient of the belt and the roller in the direction of the belt width. If the contact degree of the belt and the roller at each point along the belt width direction is different, then the interaction force at each point is also not equal. When the force on the roller is applied, the roller will be subjected to the action of the torque M, causing the roller to rotate clockwise along the center line of the belt. However, because the roller is fixed on the frame of the belt conveyor, this kind of movement is not allowed, so the belt will move to the left to balance the movement trend of the roller, so that the belt will deviate. There are many factors that cause the belt to deviate, and the main reasons are:
① The installation position of the cold aggregate grading machine hopper or the inclined belt machine hopper is incorrect, resulting in the belt being overloaded.
② The manufacturing and installation quality of the conveyor belt frame and rollers is not high, resulting in unequal forces between the belt and the rollers along the width of the belt.
③ The bonding quality of the conveyor belt is not high, resulting in uneven joints and a bell-mouth phenomenon.
④ The belt itself has poor performance and poor troughing, resulting in overload.
⑤ The belt is partially damaged. The above factors will cause the tension of the belt along the width direction to change, and eventually the belt will move to the side with greater tension, causing the belt to deviate.

    The drying drum of the asphalt mixing plant should pay attention to daily inspection, correct operation and reasonable maintenance, so as to extend its service life and reduce the cost of engineering use.
    1. Pay attention to daily inspection. Before the asphalt mixing plant officially works, the drying drum needs to be tested and inspected to see whether each pipeline is reliably connected, whether the lubrication of the whole machine is feasible, whether the motor can be started, whether the functions of each pressure valve are stable, whether the instrument is normal, etc.
    2. Correct operation of the mixing station. At the beginning of the asphalt mixing plant, manual operation can only switch to automatic control after reaching the specified production capacity and discharge temperature. The aggregate should be dry and have a standard mode so that it can maintain a constant temperature when flowing through the drying drum. When the entire aggregate is sent to dry, the moisture content will change. At this time, the burner should be used frequently to compensate for the change in moisture. During the rolling stone processing, the amount of water directly formed is basically unchanged, the amount of combustion accumulation increases, and the amount of water in the deposited accumulation material may change.
    3. Reasonable maintenance of the asphalt mixing plant. Aggregates should be deactivated when the asphalt mixing plant is not in operation. After work every day, the equipment should be operated to discharge the aggregate into the dryer. When the material in the hopper leaves the combustion chamber, the combustion chamber should be closed and allowed to idle for about 30 minutes to cool down, so as to reduce its impact or make the machine run in a straight line. Install the drying cylinder fixing ring on all rollers synchronously.

    Asphalt mixing stations, also known as asphalt concrete mixing stations, can produce asphalt mixtures, modified asphalt mixtures, and colored asphalt mixtures, which fully meet the needs of building highways, grade roads, municipal roads, airports, ports, etc. Changmeng Electric Power introduces the safety operating procedures of asphalt mixing plants below:
    1. During the operation of the mixing equipment, in addition to ensuring that the equipment is in good condition, it should also be equipped with a mineral moisture content detector and a finished material tester, and the relevant data should be frequently tested for the operator to adjust the operation in time to keep the equipment in good condition.
    2. In addition to affecting production capacity, the moisture content of mineral materials is also the main factor determining fuel consumption. Additional material sheds should be added.
    3. Before operation, all working parts and devices of the mixing equipment should be fully checked to see if they are intact and normal. If there are any problems, they must be properly handled before operation, and it is forbidden to operate with illness.
    4. The operation must be carried out strictly in accordance with the procedures and precautions specified in the instruction manual. After normal ignition, the dust collector should be monitored to ensure that the drying drum burns under negative pressure; after production starts, the hot material elevator and agitator should be monitored to see if they are working normally to coordinate the operation of other parts.

    The mobile forced asphalt mixing equipment adopts intermittent drying cylinder, double forced mixer, the main machine can be towed, small footprint, short installation cycle, convenient operation and maintenance, good stability, high degree of automation, high degree of standardization, and high quality of finished products, and the technology of continuous improvement. The mobile forced asphalt mixing plant is suitable for high-grade road asphalt paving and maintenance.
    1. The combined structure of the drum dryer and the batching machine is installed on a movable bracket for easy movement.
    2. The asphalt mixing plant is equipped with a double horizontal shaft to boil the aggregate and ensure uniform mixing.
    3. In the densely arranged hanging barrels, the hot aggregate rises vertically. This lifting tool is easy to use and reliable.
    4. For accurate weighing of aggregates, asphalt and powder ore, a measuring scale is used, which contains a weighing sensor for electronic measurement.
    5. The movement of the power material follows a closed spiral path, which ensures little material loss and provides safe transfer.
    6. On the cyclone burner, high-pressure oil is sprayed out and quickly atomized. In the combustion chamber, the material is fed in a spiral manner and automatically ignited by the oil mist, which ensures combustion efficiency. The cylindrical barrel of the burner is separated from the burner head. The furnace cavity can be pushed in and pulled out, which is convenient for replacing the damaged side column bricks inside the burner. The entire burner has a large heat capacity and high thermal strength. This is cost-effectiveness.

    Judging from the situation of highways in our country, asphalt pavement is the most used, which is one of the reasons why asphalt mixing plants have developed so rapidly. Under the situation of rapid economic development, the quality problems of asphalt pavement are gradually increasing, which puts forward higher and higher requirements for the quality of asphalt. It is understood that the primary factor that affects the quality of asphalt is the ratio of raw materials. This is also covered in the introduction of asphalt mixing stations. You can discuss it together.
    In order to obtain high-quality asphalt products, in addition to the asphalt mixing equipment meeting the requirements, selecting the appropriate asphalt mixture gradation type is also a top priority. According to my country’s current regulations, the maximum particle size of the asphalt mixture in the upper layer of the highway should not exceed half of the layer thickness; while the maximum particle size of the aggregate in the middle surface layer of asphalt mixture should not exceed two-thirds of the layer thickness; and the asphalt layer should not exceed half of the layer thickness. The maximum nominal aggregate size of the pavement structural layer mixture should not exceed one-third of the layer thickness.
    Based on this analysis, if an asphalt surface layer with a certain thickness is selected according to the above specifications, the particle size of the asphalt mixture aggregates will generally be larger, which will inevitably bring insurmountable construction difficulties to the construction of asphalt concrete pavement. After investigation, testing, analysis, and comparison, it can be seen that the lower layer has a wider choice, so the AG-201 gradation type can be used; while the selection of the upper layer mixture type is more difficult, and it is necessary to achieve a reasonable choice of this mix ratio. , on the one hand, we must examine as many aggregate resources as possible, and on the other hand, we must also consider the model of the mixing equipment.
    In order to ensure the quality of the project, strict selection and inspection of engineering materials must be carried out. Therefore, the selection and determination of raw materials should be based on the requirements for pavement structure and use quality, combined with the supply of floor materials, and inspection in accordance with the requirements of relevant test procedures, and then Select the best materials so that all technical indicators of the materials meet the specified technical requirements.
