摘要:
A self-propelled material-processing apparatus (10) comprises a chassis (12), an engine (13) mounted on the chassis near the forward end thereof, and endless tracks (14) permanently supporting the chassis (12) and power-operated by the engine (13). A supply conveyor (18) has a material-receiving end (15) which projects forwardly of the forward end of the chassis (12) and an opposing upper discharge end (21). A material processing device (11), e.g., a screen box, is mounted directly or indirectly on the chassis (12) generally above the rear end of the chassis (12). The material processing device is arranged to receive material from the discharge end (21) and is configured for movement between an operative position and a transport position. The weight of the apparatus, when in the operative position, is generally balanced by the engine (13) and forward end (15) of the conveyor (18) at the forward end of the chassis and the screen (11) and discharge conveyor (121) at the rear of the chassis.

Apparatus and methods for recycling concrete pavement in a coordinated procession include a breaker which turns the concrete into rubble first backhoe which rips up and cuts the concrete to rubble chunks, then another backhoe loads the chunks into a self-propelled crusher. If the concrete is reinforced with metallic structures, the first backhoe cuts those along with the concrete. The crusher separates the concrete from any steel and fines in the rubble. The crusher discharges the steels in collection bins mounted thereon. Various bins and ways of dumping them are disclosed. The crushed concrete is discharged to the roadway as multi-gradated aggregate. The crusher can also be made self-leveling by a slope control, slope sensors, and hydraulic cylinders arranged thereon in a closed loop feedback circuit. Based on slope control commands, the cylinders individually raise or lower the plurality of crawler tracks that support the crusher so the crusher can automatically maintain a level attitude while at rest or on-the-go. Various methods of recycling are presented based upon the inclusion and positioning of the equipment, their discharge conveyors, and the number of lanes of pavement broken up in one pass.
摘要:
A dryer for use in an asphalt plant for heating and drying virgin aggregate and also pre-heating reclaimed asphalt products (RAP). A drying drum cylinder having a burner at one end heats and dries virgin aggregate traveling therethrough. A second cylinder near the burner surrounds the drying drum and creates an annular cavity. RAP is introduced and travels through the annular cavity and exits adjacent the drying drum aggregate exit opening. Heat given off by the drying drum increases the temperature within the annular cavity and heats the RAP traveling therethrough. Heated aggregate and RAP first come in contact with one another after exiting the annular cavity and the drying drum and are, thereafter, delivered to a mixing drum.

This invention relates to an improved aggregate drying apparatus and method where the dried aggregate is particularly useful for making hot mix asphalt. In accordance with the system, heat typically lost in exhaust gases and moisture evaporated in a heater is recovered to dry and preheat the aggregate. The invention also relates to novel components used in the system, including an improved aggregate dryer and an improved mass flow apparatus for use in an aggregate dryer or otherwise in aggregate feed bins.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for manufacture of asphaltic pavement from recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) and virgin rock and asphaltic materials is shown and described. This method utilizes efficient and controlled heat from a recirculating air impingement air dryer for heating of the RAP to a first temperature prior to the RAP being mixed with high temperature rock which is supplied from a rotating drum heater. The mixture of rock and RAP may comprise as much as 80% RAP because the RAP is preheated piror to the RAP rock mixing step.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for manufacturing a coating mass for road constructions are disclosed wherein stone minerals of different grain size ranges are dosed, dried, heated, dusted off and supplemented with a binding agent and other flux materials. The stone minerals of the various grain size ranges are separated from each other and are predosed, dried and heated. This divides the stone minerals of each grain size range into a stone fraction and a respectively absorbed fine grain size material, which is divided into a sand fraction and a self filler fraction by means of filtering. The sand fraction is thereafter added again to the stone fraction of the respective grain size range, and the self filler fractions of all grain size ranges are combined and weighted. All of the heated stone and sand fractions are also weighted and combined and are mixed together with the combined and weighted self filler fractions and the binding agent in order to provide the coating mass.
