What are the benefits of using Asphalt mixing equipment?

Owing to its excellent stability, asphalt is increasingly adopted as a raw material for production and processing across a growing range of sectors, such as construction and municipal road engineering. Manufacturers carry out customized production of asphalt according to customer requirements and use professional special equipment for asphalt mixing work. This article will elaborate on the benefits of using asphalt mixing equipment through the following details.

Compared with equipment adopting traditional technologies, the new-generation asphalt mixing equipment features more advanced technology and highly efficient operation. In addition, this type of equipment is equipped with an automated computer control system, which can minimize unnecessary errors and reduce the labor time of operators at the same time.

Meanwhile, manufacturers use high-precision asphalt mixing equipment for asphalt mixing and production. This allows the mixing and production of asphalt with a smaller amount of raw materials and fuel, and enables effective control over product quality, thereby improving the quality of finished products.

Do you understand the working process of asphalt mixing equipment?

The working process is an integrated operation of aggregate mixing, mineral powder mixing and asphalt mixing. You can find more detailed information below.

1. Aggregate Conveying

The cold aggregate supply system is used for storing various raw materials. First, gravel is conveyed to the drying system via an inclined continuous feeding belt conveyor. After drying and heating, the aggregate is transported to the screening system by a hot aggregate bucket elevator. In the vibrating screen, aggregates of different particle sizes are sorted into respective hot aggregate hoppers according to their grain size, then conveyed to the aggregate weighing device and fed into the mixing drum after weighing. This is the entire aggregate conveying process.

2. Mineral Powder Conveying

The drying process during aggregate conveying generates a certain amount of dust, which is collected by the dust collection system and then delivered to the powder recovery silo. Meanwhile, fresh mineral powder is transported to the mineral powder silo, blended uniformly and then sent to the mineral powder weighing device. After weighing, the mineral powder is discharged into the mixing drum. This is the complete mineral powder conveying process.

3. Asphalt Conveying

Asphalt is pumped into asphalt storage tanks, which play a crucial role in thermal insulation and heating. The asphalt is then conveyed to the asphalt weighing device, and the weighed asphalt of the specified quantity is discharged into the mixing drum. This is the entire asphalt conveying process.

Upon completion of the above processes, all materials are mixed uniformly in the mixing drum for a specified period of time. After mixing, the asphalt mixture is discharged into the finished product hopper, and subsequently transported to the construction site by heated asphalt transport trucks.
