Asphalt mixture mixing equipment is a proportion of the investment in asphalt mixture mixing plants. It not only affects the normal production, but also directly determines the quality of asphalt mixture and the cost of use.
    The model of asphalt mixing equipment should be scientifically and rationally selected based on the annual output. If the model is too large, it will increase the investment cost and reduce the effective use efficiency of polyurethane products; if the equipment model is too small, the output will be insufficient, resulting in the failure to improve construction efficiency, thereby prolonging the operation time. , poor economy, construction workers are also prone to fatigue. Asphalt mixing plants below type 2000 are usually used for local construction roads or municipal maintenance and repairs, while type 3000 or above are mostly used in large-scale road projects such as highways, national highways, and provincial highways. Usually these projects have tight construction periods.
According to the annual demand output, the hourly output of the asphalt mixture mixing plant = annual demand output/annual effective construction 6 months/monthly effective sunny days 25/10 hours of work per day (the prime time for effective asphalt construction per year is 6 months, and the effective construction days per month are more than 6 months) 25 days are calculated, and the daily working hours are calculated as 10 hours).
It is better to choose the rated output of the asphalt mixture mixing plant to be slightly larger than the theoretical calculated hourly output, because affected by various factors such as raw material specifications, moisture content, etc., the actual stable output of the asphalt mixture mixing plant is usually only 60% of the product model~ 80%. For example, the actual rated output of the 4000-type asphalt mixture mixing plant is generally 240-320t/h. If the output is increased further, it will affect the mixing uniformity, gradation and temperature stability of the mixture. If it is producing rubber asphalt Or SMA and other modified asphalt mixtures or when produced after rain, the rated output will decrease to a certain extent. This is mainly because the mixing time is extended, the stone is moist and the temperature rises slowly after rain.
It is planned to complete the asphalt mixture task of 300,000 tons in one year after establishing the station. According to the above calculation formula, the hourly output is 200t. The stable output of the 4000-type asphalt mixture mixing plant is 240t/h, which is slightly more than 200t. Therefore, the 4000-type asphalt mixing plant was selected. Mixing equipment can meet the construction tasks, and the 4000-type asphalt mixing equipment is also the mainstream model commonly used by construction units in very large projects such as highways and main roads.

Staffing is reasonable and efficient
At present, the proportion of labor costs in construction enterprises is increasing year by year. Therefore, how to reasonably allocate human resources is not only reflected in the business capabilities of the selected personnel, but also in the number of personnel allocated.
The asphalt mixing plant is a complex system composed of multiple components, and the production process requires the coordination of multiple people. All managers understand the importance of people. Without reasonable staffing, it is impossible to achieve good economic benefits.
Based on experience and needs, the necessary personnel for an asphalt mixing plant are: 1 station manager, 2 operators, 2 maintenance personnel, 1 weighing scale and material collector, 1 logistics and food management person, and clerk 1 person is also responsible for financial accounting, a total of 8 people. Operators and maintenance personnel must be trained by the asphalt mixing plant manufacturer or professional institution and hold a certificate before working.
Increase efficiency and strengthen comprehensive management
Management is reflected in the management of personnel, but also in the management of work and production. It has become a consensus in the industry to seek benefits from management.
Under the premise that the price of asphalt mixture is basically stable, as an operator of asphalt mixture mixing plant, in order to achieve good economic benefits, the only way is to work hard on cost saving. Cost saving can start from the following aspects.

Improve productivity
The quality of the aggregate directly affects the productivity of the asphalt mixing plant. Therefore, the quality should be strictly controlled when purchasing raw materials to avoid affecting the output due to overflow and overflow. Another factor that affects the productivity of the asphalt mixing plant is the main burner. The drying drum of the asphalt mixing plant is designed with a special heating zone. If the flame shape cannot match the heating zone, it will seriously affect the heating efficiency, thereby affecting the productivity of the asphalt plant. Therefore, if you find that the flame shape is not good, you should adjust it in time.

Reduce fuel consumption
Fuel costs account for a large proportion of the operating costs of asphalt mixing plants. In addition to taking necessary waterproofing measures for aggregates, it is important to improve the operating efficiency of the combustion system. The combustion system of the asphalt mixing plant consists of the main burner, drying drum, dust collector and air induction system. The reasonable matching between them plays a decisive role in the complete combustion of the fuel. Whether the flame length and diameter of the burner matches the combustion zone of the drying tube, and the exhaust gas temperature directly affect the fuel consumption of the burner. Some data show that every time the aggregate temperature exceeds the specified temperature by 5°C, fuel consumption increases by about 1%. Therefore, the aggregate temperature should be sufficient and should not exceed the specified temperature.

Strengthen maintenance and reduce repair and spare parts costs
The working environment of the asphalt mixing plant is harsh and routine maintenance is essential. As the saying goes, "Seven percent depends on quality and three percent depends on maintenance." If the maintenance is not in place, the cost of repairs, especially overhauls, will be very high. During daily inspections, small problems discovered should be dealt with promptly to prevent small problems from turning into major failures.

Asphalt Mixing Plant Investment Analysis
For an asphalt mixing plant that requires an investment of tens of millions of yuan, in the early stage of investment, the ratio of investment and income should first be considered to prevent losses caused by blind investment. The operating cost is calculated as the production cost except hardware investment. The following is an analysis of the operating cost of the project.
