Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and a device for cold mixing of road surfacing material.
- Hot mixing requires stationary plants, in which a bituminous binder and gravel material are mixed during heating.
- the road surfacing material must then be transported to the road which is to be coated.
- WO A1 83/00700 discloses a batchwise method and an apparatus for hot mixing of asphalt concrete.
- heated aggregate is divided into three different particle sizes by screening.
- the coarse-grained portion (> 3 mm) is mixed with a hot bituminous binder.
- the hot bituminous binder covers the surface of the particles of the coarse-grained portion.
- a filler ( ⁇ 0.1 mm) is added to increase the thickness of the bituminous film on the particles of the coarse-grained portion.
- the fine-grained portion ( ⁇ 2 mm) added, which thus has a greater particle size than the filler and which is added to the thickened layer of bitumen on the particles of the coarse-grained portion.
- the adding of the filler results, in hot mixing, in the particles of the fine-grained portion more easily adhering to the particles already coated with the bituminous binder.
- a problem in today's hot mixing is the large amounts of diesel oil, solvent and dust emitted to the surroundings during heating and working of the road surfacing material.
- the increasing cost for transporting the heated road surfacing material is an additional problem.
- US-A-4,974,993 discloses a method and a device for renewing a road surface.
- the road material is first scarified and screened in order to separate particles > 35 mm from particles having the size of 0-35 mm.
- the reason for such screening is that subsequently the material having a particle size of > 35 mm is to be crushed to a smaller size.
- the particles of the two different portions, which are then united, thus have essentially the same size range.
- a solvent and a bitumen emulsion are then added to the crushed portion, which is then mixed with the portion that has not been subjected to crushing.
- WO A1 87/03317 discloses a method and an apparatus for mixing gravel material and a bitumen emulsion.
- the gravel material is separated into two portions.
- the two different portions are separately sprayed with the bitumen emulsion and are then united.
- the two portions sprayed with bitumen emulsion are then mixed together by letting the material fall freely onto strongly inclined baffles. Any remaining bitumen emulsion is added to the total mix of the two portions before being discharged from the apparatus.
- One object of the present invention is to provide a road surfacing material without any problems of emission of various chemicals and dust.
- a further object is to provide a road surfacing material which is of uniform composition after cold mixing and which, when being spread, does not cause the forming of lumps and the coming-loose of stones.
- the present invention relates to a method and a device for continuous cold mixing of road surfacing material.
- Aggregate is supplied to a hopper, weighed on a belt weigher and conveyed to a screen to be separated into different size ranges.
- the different portions are then supplied to a compulsory mixer in which they are cold mixed with bitumen emulsion.
- the aggregate is screened continuously into at least three portions which are supplied to the compulsory mixer via different inlets.
- the portion having the greatest particle size is first mixed with an excess of bitumen emulsion for this portion.
- Each aggregate portion of successively decreasing particle size is then separately mixed with an excess of bitumen emulsion for that aggregate portion at the same time as it is successively mixed with the aggregate portion/s already mixed with bitumen and having a greater particle size.
- the aggregate portion/s having the smallest particle size/s is/are mixed with the aggregate portions already mixed with bitumen, without additional bitumen emulsion being supplied separately to this/these aggregate portion/s having the smallest particles.
- Bitumen emulsion is supplied via nozzles which are arranged in the vicinity of the inlets for the aggregate portion/s having the greatest particle size/s, no nozzle being arranged adjacent the inlet for the aggregate portion/s having the smallest particle size/s.
- the advantage of the present invention is that a road surfacing material of uniform composition is obtained, which, when being spread, yields a road surface of high and uniform quality, without problems of lumps being formed and stones coming loose.
- aggregate new aggregate in the form of crushed stones and recovery masses, i.e. scarified masses, having a predetermined size distribution.
- Fig. 1 is a principle sketch of a preferred embodiment of the entire inventive device
- Fig. 2 is a principle sketch of an enlarged portion of a preferred embodiment of the screening and mixing device according to the invention.
- the embodiment of the inventive device as illustrated in Fig. 1 comprises a hopper 1 whose lower part is provided with a conveyor belt 2. Under the discharge end of the conveyor belt 2, a belt weigher 3 is arranged. Adjacent the belt weigher 3, there is a further conveyor belt 4. The discharge end of this conveyor belt 4 opens into an inlet 5 of a screen 6. Under the screen 6, a compulsory mixer 7 is arranged. Fig 2 is an enlarged longitudinal section of the screen 6 and the compulsory mixer 7. The screen comprises two different grading screens 8a, 8b which open into different inlets 9a, 9b of the compulsory mixer 7.
- the compulsory mixer 7 there are a number of nozzles 10a, 10b, 10c and an agitator 11, in which three of four agitator blades 12 propel the material in the direction of arrow 13, whereas the fourth agitator blade 12 propels the material in the opposite direction.
- the aggregate In the continuous cold mixing of the road surfacing material, the aggregate is first supplied to the hopper 1. Then the aggregate is conveyed continuously to the belt weigher 3 which registers the weight of the aggregate which is to be supplied to the screen 6 and the compulsory mixer 7. Subsequently, the aggregate is conveyed to the inlet 5 of the screen 6. Now the aggregate is discharged and falls onto the grading screen 8a which separates the smallest particles. The largest particles thus do not pass through this grading screen 8a but roll along this screen into the inlet 9a, in which the particles are mixed with an excess of bitumen emulsion for this portion, said bitumen emulsion being discharged from the nozzle 10a in the vicinity of the inlet 9a.
- the particles that have passed through the two grading screens are supplied to the compulsory mixer over a longer distance and are mixed with the other portions of greater particle size, which have already been mixed with an excess of bitumen emulsion. From the nozzle 10c, the remaining bitumen emulsion is then supplied that is required for the total road surfacing material to have the correct consistency.
- bitumen emulsion it is not always necessary to add any remaining bitumen emulsion via the nozzle 10c. It may also happen that all the bitumen emulsion has been supplied before adding the aggregate portion/s having the smallest particle size.
- the added quantity of bitumen emulsion in the different nozzles 10a, 10b, 10c is controlled by the measured input weight of the aggregate that is measured on the belt weigher 3.
- the proportions of the output quantities in the different nozzles are controlled on the basis of the known size distribution of the aggregate.
- bitumen emulsion When the largest particles are first mixed with an excess of bitumen emulsion, bitumen emulsion is immediately deposited and adheres to the large particles. Since there is an excess of bitumen emulsion around the large particles, the fine material adheres to these stones and there will be a minimum of separation.
- the ready-mixed road surfacing material is uniform, and the quality of the final road surface will be uniform and high.
