When the equipment arrives to the job site in a dismantled condition it becomes very important to install each component properly and take a dry trial run of them prior to the actual mix run. Below are some important points to note for the first time start-up of Atlas asphalt batch plant. Atlas does support its customers with on site support for installation, operation and maintenance of the equipment. All the points are usually checked and taken care of by our technicians physically as they are present at the site. Due to COVID-19 we are unable to send our technicians to many job sites and hence this guide comes handy. Things to Note Before Starting the Asphalt Batch Mix Plant - All moving parts have to be greased before starting the plant. - Oil to be filled in all the components before starting the plant. - All feeder belts have to be set and aligned before starting the plant. - After the first empty run, all nuts and bolts of the plant have to be tightened. - The first 5-6 ...

Since the dust collection system is integrated with the asphalt plant, the operator is required to be aware with the controls and maintenance standards. The operator is also supposed to be aware of how the dust collector system performance affects the properties of the hot mix asphalt. Major air pollution concern is the dryer burner. A clogged or a dirty burner and or improper air to fuel ratio can result in excessive smoke and also other combustion by products. Close attention and cleanliness in maintaining and adjustments of burners and accessories is important. Dust emissions can be kept under control by use of anti pollution equipments. The common types of dust collectors that are used to capture dust are multi cyclone dry dust collector; venture type wet dust collector and bag house. Maintenance and cleaning of the duct line connecting the dryer and the dry dust collector is as important as maintaining the pollution control systems. This is very important as clogging will not deli...

Emulsified asphalt is used for a variety of applications like waterproofing or road development. It is considered a great material for constructing good quality roads that can sustain heavy traffic and offer excellent grip to the vehicles. It seals the tiny holes and forms a uniform layer that makes the surface smooth. What is a bitumen emulsion? Bitumen emulsion plant produces a wide variety of emulsified asphalt used for multiple industrial and household applications. The plant works round the clock, and the operations are made fully-automatic so that there is no manual intervention at all. What is there in a Bitumen emulsion plant? A typical Bitumen emulsion plant has following components: - A raw asphalt tank properly insulated and covered with aluminum sheets is the primary component. It is made from carbon and steel construction. Usually, there is a drive agitator powered by gears. - With the geared drive agitator, you find a soap preparation tank. - The colloid mill has gaug...

Asphalt is among the most prevalent clearing materials utilized today because of its water-resistance, adaptability, stylish interest, and magnificent cement capacities. These properties and more make asphalt pavement an advantage that requires a structured level of conservation and care. With proper deterrent maintenance, asphalt pavements can stay utilitarian and lovely for years. Asphalt Maintenance In spite of the fact that asphalt maintenance motivation will contrast from property to property, the general reason for black-top support is to maintain its appeal and amplify its life. Some maintenance support undertakings can be managed all alone or by an appointed staff, for example, assessments and waste clearance; while others are best left in the hands of prepared and equipped experts. A perfect asphalt support ought to incorporate fundamental assignments like standard assessments, clearing, break filling, pothole repair, intermittent line striping, and in particular, seal coating...

The matter of how the freeze-thaw cycles affect asphalt pavement is fairly well understood, sometimes even taught in grade school science classes: when liquid water enters cracks and then freezes, the expansion of water as it freezes pries apart those cracks. It's a progressive process that ultimately leads to pavement failure and potholes if temperatures fluctuate above and below 32ºF a few times. But there's more to the deterioration of asphalt-paved roads than just those cycles of warmer and colder. Moisture from snow and rain of course contribute to it. Cold has an additional effect, as does the nature of weather changing that is largely characteristic of climate change. These cycles and situations keep the local asphalt pavement company and concrete contractors busy.   First, the mere drop in temperatures, moisture present or not, has a contraction effect on the bitumen, which is the petrochemical "goop" that holds together the tiny stones and sand that make up...
