Owing to the excellent reliability of asphalt, it has been increasingly adopted as a raw material in production and processing across a growing range of fields, such as construction and urban road engineering. In addition, manufacturers carry out customized production of asphalt according to customer requirements and use professional technical equipment for asphalt mixing. This article elaborates on the application benefits of Asphalt mixing equipment and its full operational process in detail.

Compared with traditional mixing equipment, the new-generation asphalt mixing equipment features more advanced technology and high operational efficiency. Moreover, it is equipped with an automated computer control system, which minimizes human errors and reduces the workload of operators.

In addition, manufacturers use high-precision asphalt mixing equipment for production, which enables asphalt mixing with a more efficient use of raw and natural materials. It also allows for precise control of product quality and effectively improves the quality of finished asphalt mixtures.

What is the full operational process of asphalt mixing equipment? The entire process integrates aggregate mixing, mineral powder mixing and asphalt mixing, with the detailed steps elaborated as follows.

1. Aggregate Conveying

A cold aggregate supply system is used for storing various raw aggregates. 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 constitutes 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 collection 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 duration. After mixing, the asphalt mixture is discharged into the finished product storage silo, and subsequently transported to the construction site by heated asphalt transport trucks.
