Emulsified asphalt plants play a vital role in road construction and maintenance. However, routine maintenance is essential to ensure that the emulsion asphalt plant continues to operate efficiently. This article will give you a detailed introduction to the maintenance tips for emulsion asphalt plants to ensure that your equipment is always in the best condition.
 

Routine maintenance: to ensure stable operation of the equipment

Emulsifier and pump and other core components of emulsion asphalt plants are the "heart". In order to ensure their stable operation, we must carry out routine maintenance, such as cleaning, tightening screws, check the lubricant. In addition, at the end of each day's work, do not forget to thoroughly clean the emulsifier to prevent residues from affecting the performance of the equipment.
 

The speed control pump and leaching emulsifier maintenance

 
The speed control pump is responsible for controlling the flow, and its accuracy directly affects the quality of emulsified asphalt. Therefore, we need to regularly check the accuracy of the speed pump and make the necessary adjustments and maintenance. At the same time, the stator and rotor of the asphalt emulsifier with the clearance must also be checked regularly, once beyond the specified minimum clearance, the stator and rotor should be replaced in a timely manner.
 

Long-Term Shutdown and Reactivation

 
If the equipment is to be out of service for a long time, the tank and piping must be emptied of liquid to prevent the emulsifier solution stored for a long time from deteriorating. At the same time, each hole cover should be tightly covered to keep the equipment clean. Before reactivation, the rust in the tank should be removed, and the water filter should be cleaned regularly to ensure that the equipment can operate normally.
 
 

The electronic control cabinet and frequency controller maintenance

 
The electronic control cabinet is the "brain" of the equipment, we must regularly check whether the terminals are loose, whether the wire is worn, and eliminate dust in a timely manner to avoid damage to machine parts. Frequency converter as a precision instrument, the specific use of maintenance, please refer to the instruction manual for operation.
 

Anti-freezing measures

 
In the cold winter, there is no insulation device emulsified asphalt tanks should not store finished products. When the outdoor temperature is lower than -5°C, the emulsified asphalt should be discharged from the tank in time to prevent the emulsion from freezing. In addition, when heating the emulsifier water solution, first turn off the heat transfer oil switch, add the required amount of water, and then turn on the heat transfer oil switch to avoid pouring cold water directly into the high temperature heat transfer oil line, which can cause weld cracks.
 
By following the maintenance tips above, you can ensure that your emulsion asphalt plant always operates efficiently and provides reliable support for highway construction and maintenance. It will also help extend the life of your equipment and reduce maintenance costs.
