Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine des installations de production d'enrobés, notamment d'enrobés pour revêtement routier, avec recyclage d'agrégats d'enrobés.The present invention relates to the field of asphalt production installations, in particular asphalt paving for road surfacing, with recycling of asphalt aggregates.

Pour produire des enrobés pour revêtement routier, il est possible de sécher et chauffer des granulats, puis de malaxer les granulats secs et chauds avec du liant, notamment un liant bitumineux, pour produire un enrobé de revêtement routier.To produce road paving mixes, it is possible to dry and heat aggregates and then mix the dry and hot aggregates with binder, including an asphalt binder, to produce asphalt paving.

Pour le séchage et le chauffage des granulats, il est possible d'introduire les granulats dans un tambour sécheur monté rotatif autour de son axe central, l'axe du tambour étant incliné par rapport au plan horizontal, et de faire circuler un flux de gaz chaud dans le tambour sécheur pour sécher et chauffer les granulats.For the drying and heating of aggregates, it is possible to introduce the aggregates into a drying drum rotatably mounted about its central axis, the axis of the drum being inclined relative to the horizontal plane, and to circulate a flow of gas hot in the dryer drum to dry and heat the aggregates.

Les granulats frais sont introduits dans le tambour sécheur à l'extrémité relevée de celui-ci, et les granulats chauds sont récupérés à l'extrémité abaissée du tambour sécheur.The fresh aggregates are introduced into the dryer drum at the raised end thereof, and the hot aggregates are recovered at the lowered end of the dryer drum.

Du fait de la rotation du tambour sécheur, les granulats sont relevés et retombent en formant un rideau de granulats à l'intérieur du tambour sécheur, le flux de gaz chaud traversant le rideau de granulats.Due to the rotation of the drying drum, the aggregates are raised and fall back to form a curtain of aggregates inside the drying drum, the flow of hot gas passing through the curtain of aggregates.

Du fait de l'inclinaison du tambour sécheur, les granulats introduits par l'extrémité relevée du tambour sécheur avancent progressivement vers l'extrémité abaissée du tambour sécheur.Due to the inclination of the drying drum, the aggregates introduced by the raised end of the drying drum progressively advance towards the lowered end of the drying drum.

Dans un tambour sécheur à « co-courants » ou à « courants parallèles », le flux de gaz circule dans le tambour sécheur dans le sens d'avancement des granulats, i.e. de l'extrémité relevée vers l'extrémité abaissée.In a "co-current" or "parallel flow" dryer drum, the flow of gas flows through the dryer drum in the direction of travel of the aggregates, i.e. from the raised end to the lowered end.

Dans un tambour sécheur à « contre-courant », le flux de gaz circule dans le tambour sécheur en sens opposé du sens d'avancement des granulats, i.e. de l'extrémité abaissée vers l'extrémité relevée.In a "countercurrent" drying drum, the flow of gas flows in the drying drum in the direction opposite to the direction of travel of the aggregates, i.e. from the end lowered towards the raised end.

Le malaxage de granulats secs et chauds avec le liant est réalisé dans un tronçon de malaxage du tambour sécheur, auquel cas le tambour sécheur est dit « sécheur-malaxeur » ou dans un malaxeur externe distinct et séparé du tambour sécheur.Mixing of dry and hot aggregates with the binder is carried out in a kneading section of the drying drum, in which case the drying drum is called "drier-kneader" or in a separate external kneader and separated from the drying drum.

Avantageusement, il est possible de mélanger les granulats avec des « agrégats d'enrobés » provenant du recyclage d'enrobés.Advantageously, it is possible to mix the aggregates with "asphalt aggregates" resulting from the recycle of mixes.

Pour ce faire, il est possible de prévoir un tambour sécheur-malaxeur à co-courant comprenant successivement, depuis son extrémité relevée vers son extrémité abaissée, un tronçon de séchage pour sécher les granulats, un anneau de recyclage pour introduire des agrégats d'enrobé dans le tambour sécheur-malaxeur, un tronçon de séchage pour mélanger et sécher les granulats et les agrégats d'enrobé, et un tronçon de malaxage pour malaxer le mélange avec un liant d'apport, le liant d'apport étant introduit dans le tronçon de malaxage. Les gaz chaud circulant dans le tambour sécheur-malaxeur sont générés à l'aide d'un brûleur disposé à l'intérieur du tambour sécheur, à proximité de l'extrémité relevée du tambour sécheur.To do this, it is possible to provide a co-current dryer-mixer drum successively comprising, from its raised end towards its lowered end, a drying section for drying the aggregates, a recycling ring for introducing asphalt aggregates. in the dryer-kneader drum, a drying section for mixing and drying aggregates and asphalt aggregates, and a kneading section for kneading the mixture with a binder, the binder being introduced into the kneading section. The hot gases circulating in the dryer-kneader drum are generated by means of a burner disposed inside the drying drum, close to the raised end of the drying drum.

Il est aussi possible de prévoir un tambour sécheur et un malaxeur externe, les granulats étant chauffés dans le tambour sécheur, et les agrégats d'enrobé et le liant d'apport étant introduits dans le malaxeur. Les granulats sont surchauffés dans le tambour sécheur afin de fournir la quantité de chaleur nécessaire pour le chauffage des agrégats d'enrobés.It is also possible to provide a drying drum and an external kneader, the aggregates being heated in the drying drum, and the asphalt aggregates and the filler binder being introduced into the kneader. The aggregates are superheated in the dryer drum to provide the amount of heat required for heating the asphalt aggregates.

The hot gases circulating in the drying drum are generated by means of a burner disposed inside the drying drum, generating a flame upstream of the point of introduction of the asphalt aggregates, the hot gases flowing towards the upstream.

Il est aussi possible de prévoir un tambour sécheur pour le séchage des granulats, et un tambour malaxeur distinct du tambour sécheur, les granulats et les agrégats et le liant d'apport étant introduits dans le tambour malaxeur. Les granulats sont par exemple surchauffés dans le tambour sécheur afin de fournir la quantité de chaleur nécessaire pour le chauffage des agrégats d'enrobés dans le tambour malaxeur.It is also possible to provide a drying drum for drying the aggregates, and a mixing drum separate from the drying drum, the aggregates and aggregates and the binder being introduced into the kneading drum. The aggregates are for example superheated in the drying drum to provide the amount of heat required for heating the asphalt aggregates in the kneading drum.

Il est encore possible de prévoir un tambour sécheur à contre-courant pour le séchage des granulats et un tambour sécheur à contre-courant ou à co-courant pour le séchage des agrégats d'enrobés, les granulats et les agrégats d'enrobé et du liant d'apport étant ensuite introduits dans un malaxeur externe distinct des tambours sécheurs. Le flux de gaz chaud circulant dans le tambour sécheur pour le séchage des agrégats d'enrobé est généré par un brûleur disposé dans ce tambour sécheur ou par un générateur de gaz chaud comprenant une enceinte distincte du tambour sécheur et un brûleur pour générer les gaz chaud, l'enceinte étant reliée fluidiquement au tambour sécheur pour acheminer les gaz chaud dans le tambour sécheur.It is still possible to provide a counter-current dryer drum for drying aggregates and a counter-current or co-current dryer drum for drying asphalt aggregates, aggregates and asphalt aggregates and feed binder being then introduced into an external kneader separate from the drying drums.

Pour un enrobé, le « taux de recyclage » est le ratio de la quantité d'agrégats d'enrobé sur la somme de la quantité d'agrégat d'enrobé et de la quantité de granulats frais entrant dans la composition de l'enrobé.For a mix, the "recycling rate" is the ratio of the amount of asphalt aggregate to the sum of the amount of asphalt aggregate and the amount of fresh aggregate entering the mix.

Pour la production d'enrobés avec recyclage d'agrégats d'enrobé, il est souhaitable d'atteindre un taux de recyclage élevé, pour augmenter le recyclage des agrégats d'enrobé et limiter la quantité de granulats neuf utilisée. En parallèle, il est souhaitable de pouvoir limiter les émissions polluantes résultant de l'enrobage.For asphalt mix asphalt mix production, it is desirable to achieve a high recycling rate, to increase the recycling of asphalt aggregates and to limit the amount of new aggregates used. In parallel, it is desirable to be able to limit the polluting emissions resulting from the coating.

L'invention et ses avantages seront mieux compris à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple, et faite en référence aux dessins annexé, sur lesquels les Figures 1 et 2 sont des vues d'ensemble schématiques d'installations de production d'enrobés.The invention and its advantages will be better understood on reading the description which will follow, given solely by way of example, and with reference to the appended drawings, in which the Figures 1 and 2 are schematic overviews of asphalt plants.

L'installation 2 de production d'enrobés de la Figure 1 est configurée pour la production d'enrobés avec recyclage d'agrégats d'enrobés, à partir de granulats frais et d'agrégats d'enrobés frais recyclés.The installation 2 for the production of asphalt Figure 1 is configured for the production of asphalt mix asphalt mix asphalt from fresh aggregates and fresh recycled asphalt aggregates.

Dans la présente demande, le terme « frais » signifie que les granulats ou les agrégats d'enrobés sont humides et froids et n'ont pas encore été séchés - complètement ou partiellement - dans l'installation 2.In the present application, the term "costs" means that the aggregates or aggregates of mixes are wet and cold and have not yet been dried - completely or partially - in the plant 2.

L'installation 2 comprend un tambour 4 pour le séchage de granulats par circulation d'un flux de gaz dans le tambour 4.The installation 2 comprises a drum 4 for drying aggregates by circulating a flow of gas in the drum 4.

Le tambour 4 s'étend suivant un axe central A et est monté rotatif autour de son axe central A. L'axe central A est incliné d'un angle non nul par rapport au plan horizontal. L'angle d'inclinaison de l'axe central A par rapport au plan horizontal est par exemple compris entre 2° et 6°.The drum 4 extends along a central axis A and is rotatably mounted about its central axis A. The central axis A is inclined at a non-zero angle with respect to the horizontal plane. The angle of inclination of the central axis A with respect to the horizontal plane is for example between 2 ° and 6 °.

Le tambour 4 possède donc une extrémité relevée 4A et une extrémité abaissée 4B. L'extrémité relevée 4A est située à un niveau supérieur à celui de l'extrémité abaissée 4B.The drum 4 thus has a raised end 4A and a lowered end 4B. The raised end 4A is located at a level higher than that of the lowered end 4B.

L'extrémité relevée 4A définit une entrée pour les granulats frais et l'extrémité abaissée 4B définit une sortie pour un mélange formé des granulats G et d'agrégats d'enrobés AE recyclés introduits dans le tambour 4.The raised end 4A defines an inlet for the fresh aggregates and the lowered end 4B defines an outlet for a mixture formed of aggregates G and aggregates of recycled AE mixes introduced into the drum 4.

L'installation 2 comprend un dispositif d'alimentation 6 configuré pour alimenter l'extrémité relevée 4A du premier tambour 4 en granulats G frais.The installation 2 comprises a feed device 6 configured to feed the raised end 4A of the first drum 4 in fresh G granules.

Lors de la rotation du tambour 4, du fait de l'inclinaison de celui-ci, les granulats G introduits dans l'extrémité relevée 4A du tambour 4 avancent progressivement vers l'extrémité abaissée 4B du tambour 4.During the rotation of the drum 4, because of the inclination thereof, the aggregates G introduced into the raised end 4A of the drum 4 progressively advance towards the lowered end 4B of the drum 4.

Dans la suite, les termes « aval » et « amont » s'entendent par rapport au sens de circulation des granulats G dans le tambour 4, de l'extrémité relevée 4A vers l'extrémité abaissée 4B.In the following, the terms "downstream" and "upstream" refer to the direction of flow of the aggregates G in the drum 4, from the raised end 4A to the lowered end 4B.

L'installation 2 comprend un dispositif de génération de gaz chauds 8 configuré pour générer des gaz chauds et pour faire circuler les gaz chauds dans le tambour 4 de l'extrémité relevée 4A vers l'extrémité abaissée 4B, i.e. dans le même sens que les granulats G. Le tambour 4 est un tambour sécheur dit à « courants parallèles » ou à « co-courants ».The installation 2 comprises a device for generating hot gases 8 configured to generate hot gases and to circulate the hot gases in the drum 4 from the raised end 4A towards the lowered end 4B, ie in the same direction as the Aggregates G. The drum 4 is a drying drum said to "parallel currents" or "co-currents".

Dans l'exemple illustré, le dispositif de génération de gaz chauds 8 comprend un brûleur 10 agencé pour générer une flamme F à l'intérieur du tambour 4. Le brûleur 10 est configuré pour générer la flamme F à partir d'un carburant et d'un comburant. Le comburant est par exemple de l'air.In the illustrated example, the hot gas generating device 8 comprises a burner 10 arranged to generate a flame F inside the drum 4. The burner 10 is configured to generate the flame F from a fuel and a fuel. an oxidizer. The oxidant is for example air.

L'installation 2 comprend un ou plusieurs anneau(x) de recyclage 12, 14 disposé(s) le long du tambour 4 pour l'introduction d'agrégats d'enrobés AE à l'intérieur du tambour 4. Chaque anneau de recyclage 12, 14 est disposé le long du tambour 4 à distance de l'extrémité relevée 4A et à distance de l'extrémité abaissée 4B.The installation 2 comprises one or more recycling ring (s) 12, 14 arranged along the drum 4 for the introduction of asphalt aggregates AE inside the drum 4. Each recycling ring 12 14 is disposed along the drum 4 away from the raised end 4A and away from the lowered end 4B.

Le tambour 4 comprend plusieurs tronçons de séchage TA, TI, TB consécutifs le long du tambour 4.The drum 4 comprises several drying sections TA, TI, TB consecutive along the drum 4.

De manière connue, dans chaque tronçon de séchage TA, TI, TB, le tambour 4 est muni, sur sa surface interne, d'aubes de relevage 16 configurées pour relever les granulats G et/ou les agrégats d'enrobé AE, de manière à former, en fonctionnement, un rideau de granulats et/ou d'agrégats d'enrobés AE traversé par les gaz chauds circulant dans le tambour 4. Selon leurs profils, les aubes de relevage 16 permettent de créer, respectivement dans chaque tronçon de séchage TA, TI, TB, un rideau plus ou moins dense.In known manner, in each drying section TA, TI, TB, the drum 4 is provided on its inner surface with lifting blades 16 configured to lift the aggregates G and / or the asphalt aggregates AE, so that to form, in operation, a curtain of aggregates and / or asphalt aggregates AE traversed by the hot gases flowing in the drum 4. According to their profiles, the lifting blades 16 can create, respectively in each drying section TA, TI, TB, a curtain more or less dense.

Le tambour 4 comprend un tronçon de séchage amont TA situé en amont du ou des anneau(x) de recyclage 12, 14, et un tronçon de séchage aval TB situé en aval du ou des anneau(x) de recyclage 12, 14.The drum 4 comprises an upstream drying section TA situated upstream of the recycling ring (s) 12, 14, and a downstream drying section TB situated downstream of the recycling ring (s) 12, 14.

Seuls les granulats G sont présents dans le tronçon de séchage amont TA, les agrégats d'enrobé AE étant introduits dans le tambour 4 seulement en aval du tronçon de séchage TS.Only the aggregates G are present in the upstream drying section TA, the asphalt aggregates AE being introduced into the drum 4 only downstream of the drying section TS.

Lorsque le tambour 4 comprend plusieurs anneaux de recyclage 12, 14, le tambour 4 comprend un tronçon de séchage intermédiaire TI entre chaque paire d'anneaux de recyclage adjacents.When the drum 4 comprises a plurality of recycling rings 12, 14, the drum 4 comprises an intermediate drying section TI between each pair of adjacent recycling rings.

Le tronçon de séchage amont TA est situé en amont de l'anneau de recyclage 14 situé le plus en amont. Le tronçon de séchage aval TB est situé entre l'anneau de recyclage 14 situé le plus en aval, et l'extrémité abaissée 4 du tambour 4.The upstream drying section TA is located upstream of the recycling ring 14 located furthest upstream. The downstream drying section TB is situated between the recycling ring 14 located furthest downstream and the lowered end 4 of the drum 4.

Les gaz chauds se refroidissent progressivement le long du tambour 4 du fait des échanges de chaleur avec les granulats G et les agrégats d'enrobés AE présents dans le tambour 4. Les gaz chauds sont donc progressivement de moins en moins chauds lorsque l'on passe d'un tronçon de séchage au suivant en se déplaçant de l'amont vers l'aval du tambour 4.The hot gases cool progressively along the drum 4 because of the heat exchanges with the aggregates G and aggregates of AE mixes present in the drum 4. The hot gases are progressively less and less hot when passing from one drying section to the next while moving from upstream to downstream of the drum 4.

La prévision d'une pluralité d'anneaux de recyclage 12, 14 espacés le long du tambour 4 permet d'introduire les agrégats d'enrobé AE dans le tambour 4 sélectivement via un ou plusieurs anneau(x) parmi la pluralité d'anneaux de recyclage 12, 14.The provision of a plurality of recycling rings 12, 14 spaced along the drum 4 makes it possible to introduce the asphalt aggregates AE into the drum 4 selectively via one or more ring (s) among the plurality of rings of recycling 12, 14.

La température des gaz chauds baisse progressivement le long du tambour 4 du fait des échanges thermiques, notamment avec les granulats G.The temperature of the hot gases gradually decreases along the drum 4 because of the heat exchange, in particular with the granules G.

Il est possible d'introduire la totalité des agrégats d'enrobés AE sélectivement via un seul parmi la pluralité d'anneaux de recyclage 12, 14. Ceci permet de soumettre les agrégats d'enrobés AE à des gaz chaud à une température plus ou moins élevée, en fonction par exemple de la teneur en liant des agrégats d'enrobés AE.It is possible to introduce all the asphalt aggregates AE selectively via only one of the plurality of recycling rings 12, 14. This makes it possible to subject the aggregates of AE mixes to hot gases at a temperature more or less depending, for example, on the binder content of AE asphalt aggregates.

Il est possible d'introduire des fractions d'agrégats d'enrobés distinctes via plusieurs anneaux de recyclage choisis parmi la pluralité d'anneaux de recyclage, chaque fraction d'agrégats d'enrobés étant introduite via un anneau de recyclage respectif.Separate asphalt aggregate fractions can be introduced via a plurality of recycling rings selected from the plurality of recycle rings, each asphalt aggregate fraction being introduced via a respective recycle ring.

Une fraction d'agrégats d'enrobés introduite plus en amont sera soumise à des gaz chauds à une température plus élevée que celle des gaz chauds à laquelle est soumise une fraction d'agrégats d'enrobés introduite plus en aval. Ceci permet par exemple de soumettre des fractions d'agrégats d'enrobés possédant des teneurs en liant différentes à des gaz chaud à des températures différentes.A fraction of asphalt aggregates introduced further upstream will be subjected to hot gases at a higher temperature than that of the hot gases to which is subjected a fraction of asphalt aggregates introduced further downstream. This allows for example to subject asphalt aggregate fractions having different binder contents to hot gases at different temperatures.

Dans l'exemple de la Figure 1, le tambour 4 comprend exactement deux anneaux de recyclage 12, 14 délimitant entre eux un tronçon de séchage intermédiaire TI. Le tambour 4 comprend, de l'amont vers l'aval, le tronçon de séchage amont TA, le tronçon de séchage intermédiaire TI et le tronçon se séchage aval TB.In the example of the Figure 1 the drum 4 comprises exactly two recycling rings 12, 14 delimiting between them an intermediate drying section TI. The drum 4 comprises, from upstream to downstream, the upstream drying section TA, the intermediate drying section TI and the downstream drying section TB.

L'installation 2 est configurée pour l'introduction dans le tambour 4, sélectivement, de la totalité des agrégats d'enrobés AE via l'anneau de recyclage 12 situé en amont, de la totalité des agrégats d'enrobé AE via l'anneau de recyclage 14 situé en aval ou d'une première fraction d'agrégats d'enrobés AE1 et une deuxième fraction d'agrégats d'enrobés AE2 via respectivement l'anneau de recyclage 12 situé en amont et de l'anneau de recyclage 14 situé en aval.The installation 2 is configured for the introduction into the drum 4, selectively, of all asphalt aggregates AE via the upstream recycling ring 12, of all the asphalt aggregates AE via the ring. 14 or downstream of a first fraction of asphalt aggregates AE1 and a second fraction of asphalt aggregates AE2 via respectively the recycling ring 12 located upstream and the recycling ring 14 located downstream.

La première fraction d'agrégats d'enrobés AE1 et la deuxième fraction d'agrégats d'enrobésAE2 possèdent par exemple des teneurs en liant différentes.The first fraction of asphalt aggregates AE1 and the second fraction of asphalt aggregates AE2 have, for example, different binder contents.

De préférence, la première fraction d'agrégats d'enrobés AE1 introduite plus en amont possèdent une teneur en liant inférieure à celle de la deuxième fraction d'agrégats d'enrobés AE2 introduite plus en aval.Preferably, the first fraction of asphalt aggregates AE1 introduced further upstream have a binder content lower than that of the second fraction of asphalt aggregates AE2 introduced further downstream.

Les gaz chauds étant de moins en moins chauds le long du tambour 4, ceci permet d'exposer la deuxième fraction d'agrégats d'enrobés AE2 ayant la plus forte teneur en liant à des gaz chauds à une température plus modérée, limitant ainsi la génération de vapeur de liant.The hot gases being less and less hot along the drum 4, this makes it possible to expose the second fraction of aggregates AE2 with the highest binder content to hot gases at a more moderate temperature, thus limiting the binder vapor generation.

Le tambour 4 est dépourvu de tronçon de malaxage configuré pour le malaxage des granulats G et des agrégats d'enrobé AE.The drum 4 does not have a kneading section configured for kneading aggregates G and asphalt aggregates AE.

L'installation d'enrobage de granulats 2 comprend un malaxeur 20 externe configuré pour malaxer le mélange de granulats G et d'agrégats d'enrobés AE sortant du tambour 4, à l'extrémité abaissée 4B de celui-ci.The aggregate coating plant 2 comprises an external kneader configured to knead the mixture of aggregates G and asphalt aggregates AE exiting the drum 4 at the lowered end 4B thereof.

Le malaxeur 20 est distinct et séparé du tambour 4. Il reçoit le mélange de granulats G et d'agrégats d'enrobés AE après que celui-ci soit sorti du tambour 4.The kneader 20 is distinct and separated from the drum 4. It receives the mixture of aggregates G and asphalt aggregates AE after it has emerged from the drum 4.

Les agrégats d'enrobé AE mélangés aux granulats G contiennent déjà du liant, dit « liant de recyclage », provenant des agrégats d'enrobé AE. Il peut s'avérer nécessaire d'apporter également du liant supplémentaire, dit « liant d'apport ». Le liant d'apport est par exemple du bitume.The asphalt aggregates AE mixed with the aggregates G already contain binder, called "recycling binder", from the asphalt aggregates AE. It may be necessary to also provide additional binder, called "binder". The binder is, for example, bitumen.

L'installation 2 comprend un dispositif d'alimentation en liant d'apport 22 pour introduire du liant d'apport dans le malaxeur 20.The installation 2 comprises a delivery binder supply device 22 for introducing the binder into the mixer 20.

En option, l'installation 2 comprend un circuit de recyclage 24, configuré pour collecter des vapeurs de liant présentes dans le malaxeur 20 et pour les réinjecter dans l'installation 2 de telle manière que les vapeurs de liant sont incinérées dans la flamme F du brûleur 10.Optionally, the installation 2 comprises a recycling circuit 24, configured to collect binder vapors present in the mixer 20 and to reinject them into the plant 2 so that the binder vapors are incinerated in the flame F of the burner 10.

Le circuit de recyclage 24 est ici configuré pour réinjecter les vapeurs de liant dans le tambour 4, en amont de la flamme F générée par le brûleur 10, de sorte que les vapeurs de liant sont incinérées dans la flamme F.The recycling circuit 24 is here configured to reinject the binder vapors in the drum 4, upstream of the flame F generated by the burner 10, so that the binder vapors are incinerated in the flame F.

Plus spécifiquement, le circuit de recyclage 24 est ici configuré pour réinjecter les vapeurs de liant dans le tambour 4, à l'extrémité relevée 4A du tambour 4.More specifically, the recycling circuit 24 is here configured to reinject the binder vapors into the drum 4, at the raised end 4A of the drum 4.

L'installation 2 comprend un collecteur de gaz 26 agencé à l'extrémité abaissée 4B du tambour 4 pour collecter les gaz chauds sortant du tambour 4, et un dispositif de filtrage 28 relié fluidiquement au collecteur de gaz 26 pour filtrer les gaz collectés par le collecteur de gaz 26. Le dispositif de filtrage 28 est par exemple un filtre à manches.The installation 2 comprises a gas collector 26 arranged at the lowered end 4B of the drum 4 to collect the hot gases leaving the drum 4, and a filtering device 28 fluidly connected to the gas collector 26 for filtering the gases collected by the gas collector 26. The filter device 28 is for example a bag filter.

La prévision d'un malaxeur 20 externe, distinct et séparé du tambour 4, évite d'exposer le liant d'apport aux gaz chauds et permet de collecter les vapeurs de liant générées dans le malaxeur 20 et les gaz chaud sortant du tambour 4 séparément. En particulier, le collecteur de gaz 26 et le circuit de recyclage 24 sont distincts et séparés.The provision of an external mixer, separate and separate from the drum 4, avoids exposing the supply binder to the hot gases and makes it possible to collect the binder vapors generated in the mixer 20 and the hot gases leaving the drum 4 separately. . In particular, the gas manifold 26 and the recycling circuit 24 are separate and separate.

En option, l'installation 2 comprend un échangeur de chaleur 30 disposé en aval du dispositif de filtrage 28 est configuré pour un échange de chaleur entre les gaz chauds filtrés par le dispositif de filtrage 28 et un comburant alimentant le brûleur 10. Le comburant est ici de l'air.Optionally, the installation 2 comprises a heat exchanger 30 disposed downstream of the filtering device 28 is configured for a heat exchange between the hot gases filtered by the filtering device 28 and an oxidant supplying the burner 10. The oxidant is here air.

L'échangeur de chaleur 30 est à flux séparés. Les gaz chauds et le comburant ne sont pas en contact lors de l'échange de chaleur. Ils échangent de la chaleur à travers une ou plusieurs parois.The heat exchanger 30 has separate flows. The hot gases and the oxidant are not in contact during the heat exchange. They exchange heat through one or more walls.

L'échangeur de chaleur 30 est ici un échange de chaleur gaz/gaz, configuré pour un échange de chaleur entre les gaz chauds filtrés et le comburant qui est à l'état gazeux.The heat exchanger 30 is here a gas / gas heat exchange, configured for a heat exchange between the filtered hot gases and the oxidizer which is in the gaseous state.

De préférence, l'installation 2 comprend une cheminée 32 pour l'évacuation des gaz chauds filtrés dans l'atmosphère. La cheminée 32 est ici disposée en aval de l'échangeur de chaleur 30.Preferably, the installation 2 comprises a chimney 32 for the evacuation of the hot gases filtered in the atmosphere. The chimney 32 is here disposed downstream of the heat exchanger 30.

Dans un mode de réalisation dans lequel l'installation 2 est dépourvue d'échangeur de chaleur 30, la cheminée 32 est par exemple disposée directement en aval du dispositif de filtrage 28.In an embodiment in which the installation 2 is devoid of a heat exchanger 30, the chimney 32 is for example arranged directly downstream of the filtering device 28.

En fonctionnement, le tambour 4 est entraîné en rotation autour de son axe central A et les gaz chauds générés par le brûleur 10 circulent dans le tambour 4 de l'extrémité relevée 4A vers l'extrémité abaissée 4B.In operation, the drum 4 is rotated about its central axis A and the hot gases generated by the burner 10 flow in the drum 4 from the raised end 4A to the lowered end 4B.

Du fait de la rotation du tambour 4 et de son inclinaison, les granulats G et les agrégats d'enrobés AE1, AE2 introduits dans le tambour 4 avancent progressivement de l'extrémité relevée 4A vers l'extrémité abaissée du tambour 4.Due to the rotation of the drum 4 and its inclination, the aggregates G and the asphalt aggregates AE1, AE2 introduced into the drum 4 progressively advance from the raised end 4A towards the lowered end of the drum 4.

Les granulats G sont introduits à l'extrémité relevée 4A du tambour 4. Ils sont d'abord séchés seuls dans le tronçon de séchage amont TA. Ils sont ensuite mélangés avec des agrégats d'enrobés AE introduits dans le tambour 4 via un ou plusieurs anneaux de recyclage 12, 14, qui sont mélangés et séchés avec les granulats dans le ou chaque éventuel tronçon de séchage intermédiaire TI et dans le tronçon de séchage aval TB.Aggregates G are introduced at the raised end 4A of drum 4. They are first dried alone in the upstream drying section TA. They are then mixed with asphalt aggregates AE introduced into the drum 4 via one or more recycling rings 12, 14, which are mixed and dried with the aggregates in the or each optional intermediate drying section TI and in the downstream drying section TB.

Les granulats G et les agrégats d'enrobés AE mélangés et séchés ressortent du tambour 4 par l'extrémité abaissée 4B. Les granulats G et les agrégats d'enrobé AE sont malaxés dans le malaxeur 20, avec du liant d'apport.Aggregates G and aggregates of mixes AE mixed and dried out of the drum 4 by the lowered end 4B. The aggregates G and the asphalt aggregates AE are kneaded in the kneader 20, with the binder.

Les gaz chaud sont collectés à l'extrémité abaissée 4 du tambour 4 par le collecteur de gaz 26, puis filtrés par le dispositif de filtrage 28.The hot gases are collected at the lowered end 4 of the drum 4 by the gas manifold 26 and then filtered by the filtering device 28.

En option, un échange de chaleur est réalisé entre les gaz chaud filtrés et le comburant alimentant le brûleur 10, dans l'échangeur de chaleur 30.Optionally, a heat exchange is carried out between the filtered hot gases and the oxidant supplying the burner 10, in the heat exchanger 30.

En option, les vapeurs de liant récupérées dans le malaxeur 20 sont réintroduites dans l'installation 2 de manière à être incinérées par la flamme F du brûleur 10.Optionally, the binder vapors recovered in the mixer 20 are reintroduced into the plant 2 so as to be incinerated by the flame F of the burner 10.

Dans le tambour 4, la température de gaz chauds diminue de l'amont vers l'aval du fait des échanges de chaleurs avec les granulats G et les agrégats d'enrobés AE.In the drum 4, the temperature of hot gases decreases from upstream to downstream due to heat exchanges with the aggregates G and asphalt aggregates AE.

L'introduction d'agrégats d'enrobés AE en aval du tronçon de séchage amont TA dans un tambour 4 à courant parallèle permet d'exposer les agrégats d'enrobés AE à des gaz chaud à une température modérée par rapport à celle des gaz chauds généré par le brûleur 10. En outre, lorsque la flamme F est générée à l'intérieur du tambour 4, le rideau de granulats formé dans le tronçon de séchage amont TA du fait de la rotation du tambour 4 protège les agrégats d'enrobés AE des radiations de la flamme F. Ceci limite les émissions de vapeurs de liant par les agrégats d'enrobés AE.The introduction of AE asphalt aggregates downstream of the upstream drying section TA in a parallel flow drum 4 makes it possible to expose the aggregates of AE mixes to hot gases at a moderate temperature relative to that of the hot gases. generated by the burner 10. In addition, when the flame F is generated inside the drum 4, the curtain of aggregates formed in the upstream drying section TA due to the rotation of the drum 4 protects the asphalt aggregates AE This limits the emissions of binder vapors by the asphalt aggregates AE.

Lorsqu'une pluralité d'anneaux de recyclage 12, 14 sont prévus, la température des gaz chauds dans les tronçons de séchages successifs diminue progressivement. L'utilisation sélectivement d'un ou plusieurs anneaux de recyclage parmi la pluralité d'anneaux de recyclage 12, 14 permet d'exposer les agrégats d'enrobés AE à des gaz chauds à une température plus ou moins élevée, et/ou différentes fractions d'agrégats d'enrobé à des gaz chauds à des températures différentes. Ceci permet d'exposer des agrégats d'enrobés AE ayant une plus forte teneur en liant à des gaz chauds à température très modérée, limitant encore les émissions de vapeurs de liant par les agrégats d'enrobé AE.When a plurality of recycling rings 12, 14 are provided, the temperature of the hot gases in the successive drying sections gradually decreases. The selective use of one or more recycling rings among the plurality of recycling rings 12, 14 makes it possible to expose the aggregates of AE mixes to hot gases at a higher or lower temperature, and / or different fractions. of asphalt aggregates to hot gases at different temperatures. This makes it possible to expose aggregates of AE mixes having a higher binder content to hot gases at a very moderate temperature, further limiting the binder vapor emissions by the asphalt aggregates AE.

Le malaxeur 20 séparé du tambour 4 permet d'apporter du liant d'apport à l'extérieur du tambour 4, ce liant d'apport n'étant pas exposé aux gaz chauds. En outre, les vapeurs de liant générées dans le malaxeur 20 ne sont pas emportées vers le dispositif de filtrage 28 et ne sont pas in fine rejetée dans l'atmosphère. Ainsi, le malaxeur 20 séparé limite les vapeurs de liant dans les gaz chaud collectés en sortie du tambour 4.The kneader 20 separated from the drum 4 makes it possible to supply binder to the outside of the drum 4, this filler binder not being exposed to the hot gases. In addition, the binder vapors generated in the mixer 20 are not carried to the filter device 28 and are not ultimately released into the atmosphere. Thus, the separate kneader 20 limits the binder vapors in the hot gases collected at the outlet of the drum 4.

Lorsqu'un échangeur de chaleur 30 est prévu, la diminution des vapeurs de liant dans les gaz chauds collectés en sortie du tambour 4 limite le risque d'encrassement de l'échangeur de chaleur 30 et préserve son efficacité.When a heat exchanger 30 is provided, the reduction of the binder vapors in the hot gases collected at the outlet of the drum 4 limits the risk of clogging of the heat exchanger 30 and preserves its effectiveness.

L'échangeur de chaleur 30 permet de récupérer une partie de l'énergie des gaz chauds sortant dans le tambour 4 et de la réinjecter dans le tambour 4. Il permet d'augmenter le rendement du brûleur 10, et donc le rendement de l'installation 2.The heat exchanger 30 makes it possible to recover a portion of the energy of the hot gases exiting in the drum 4 and reinject it into the drum 4. It makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the burner 10, and therefore the efficiency of the installation 2.

Ainsi, l'installation d'enrobage de granulats 2 permet d'obtenir un taux de recyclage important tout en limitant les émissions polluantes.Thus, the aggregate coating plant 2 provides a high recycling rate while limiting pollutant emissions.
