The mobile bitumen plant is a basic type of asphalt mixing plant, and it has been favored by the majority of engineering and pavement construction contractors since it came into being. What are the praiseworthy features and components of the mobile bitumen plant? Do you know the applicable scope of mobile bitumen plant? Let’s understand the specific contents of the mobile bitumen plant and uncover its mystery.
Profile of Mobile Bitumen Plant
The mobile bitumen mixing plant refers to the plant which is equipped with tires and can move from one place to another. The mobile bitumen mixing plant available in stock mainly has two types: the mobile bitumen drum mix plant and the mobile bitumen batch mix plant. It is mainly applicable to these projects such as the county-rural roads, low grade highways, road maintenance and mountainous highways.
Advantages of Mobile Bitumen Plant
The mobile bitumen plant is featured by fast transportation and installation, low transportation and maintenance cost, less foundation, wide application range and fully automatic control.
First, modular design makes it convenient and fast to transport from one site to another.
Second, strong mobility save the extra expense of hiring a truck man and a flat-bed trailer. Meanwhile, the simple structure also decreases the maintenance cost.
Third, it can pass through the narrow road and reach the mountainous regions because of their compact structure and enough flexibility.
Last, the mobile bitumen plant is featured by fully automatic control, and is equipped with the advanced control panel. Therefore it’s easy and smooth to operate.
Structure of Mobile Bitumen Plant
The mobile bitumen plant consists of cold aggregate supply system, bitumen supply system, drying and heating system, dust collector system and electric control system.
Cold Aggregate Supply System
The cold aggregate supply system is composed of cold aggregate bin and feeding conveyor belt. And the feeding conveyor belt includes flat conveyor belt and tilted conveyor belt. The cold aggregate bin is used to stored the cold aggregate from the wheel loader. The role of conveyor belt is to convey the cold aggregate to the rotary drum, some flat conveyor belt has the function of weighing the aggregates.
Rotary Drum
The rotary drum is the place where the drying process (or drying and heating process) of the cold aggregates takes place. For mobile drum bitumen plant, the drying and heating process both take place in the same rotary drum, that is, the drying process of cold aggregates carries out in the first half of the drum and the heating process carries out in the second half of the drum.
Bitumen Supply System
The bitumen supply system is composed of bitumen tank, bitumen gear pump, pipes and bitumen spray tube. High pressure bitumen pump is used to enable the quick and even mixing of hot aggregates, fillers and bitumen, and increase output. The bitumen supply system consists of a heat conducting oil boiler, bitumen tanks, an oil discharge vessel, a light oil burner, bitumen pumps, pipes and valve.
Dust Collector System
There are 2 kinds of dust collector system: water type and bag house type.
Water Type: By cyclone dust collector the large filler will be removed and conveyed into aggregate elevator;
Bag House Type: Bag dust catcher is controlled automatically by impulse blowing and can be cleaned automatically. Also it’s featured by over-temperature alarming and filler recycling functions.
Electric Control System
Control room is equipped with air condition and ergonomic operation panel, and it’s designed according to ergonomic principles. Therefore the regulator stuff can work comfortably.
Electric control parts adopts international brands to ensure the reliability of equipment.
With fault-detecting and diagnosis alarming function, the weighing error can be
automatically followed and compensated. Production process can be dynamically displayed in real time. Thus, convenient, reliable and simple and accurate control is realized.
Types of Mobile Bitumen Plant
For mobile bitumen plant, there are two main types: mobile drum (continuous) bitumen mix plant and mobile batch bitumen mix plant.
Mobile Drum Bitumen Mix Plant
Luton mobile drum bitumen mix plant is LTD series with the capacity of 20tph ~ 80tph. A mobile drum bitumen mix plant is like the mobile asphalt plant not only suitable for these projects such as the county-rural roads, low grade highways, road maintenance and mountainous highway, but also has high production capacity and low capital cost because it doesn’t need an extra mixing tank and saves corresponding expense.
Mobile Batch Bitumen Mix Plant
The Luton batch mobile bitumen mix plant is QLBY series with the capacity of 10tph ~ 80tph.
A batch mobile bitumen mix plant is the main supporting equipment for asphalt pavement construction. And it has played an important role in the construction of asphalt pavement, especially expressway because of its perfect structural characteristics, correct gradation, high measurement accuracy, good quality of finished materials and simple control.
