摘要:
An upper pair of arms is pivotally connected at its forward and rearward ends to the screed and to the rear portion of the traction unit. A lower pair of arms is pivotally connected at its forward and rearward ends to the screed and to the rear portion of the traction unit. Imaginary extensions of the upper and lower pairs of arms converge and intersect at points defining a transversely extending effective tow axis, which axis is disposed adjacent the subgrade and forwardly of the rearwardmost extremity of the traction means supporting the traction unit.

The trailing portion of the screed is connected to the draft arms by leaf springs contained in a vertical transverse plane. The upper ends of the springs are rigidly secured to the draft arms; the lower ends of the springs are connected to the screed by a horizontal, transverse pivot. Vibrators are mounted on the screed adjacent the leading portion thereof. Vertically disposed coil springs have their lower ends engaged with the vibrators for imparting a downward force thereto. The upper ends of these springs support weights, which weights are freely supported by vertical walls mounted from the draft arms.

A heavy-duty belt conveyor idler roll construction and a heavyduty seal assembly construction are disclosed. The idler roll is provided with a heavy gauge outer shell and flat end-head members that are welded to the shell at the inner diameter of the shell so that no weld splatter or rough edges are presented on the working surface of the shell. The idler roll is provided with a solid through-shaft surrounded by a grease sleeve which interconnects the bearing assemblies at the roll ends so that a one-point lubrication positively feeds the lubricants to and through the bearing assemblies and air pockets cannot form in the bearing cavities. Shaft supports are closely spaced to the bearing assemblies to reduce shaft deflection and increase bearing life. The seal assemblies include an outer oilimpregnated adjustable retaining member, a synthetic resin face seal member and a reinforced elastomeric lip seal member arranged to provide a five-pass labrinth seal for excluding foreign matter from the bearing assembly and locking lubricants within the bearing assembly and having characteristics of a dirt exclusion seal and a lubricant retaining seal.

An asphalt plant employs a supervisory control system including weighing apparatus at different plant stations for signalling weights of flowing material in the plant for controlling the amount of material and bitumen flow. Continuous supervision and control of asphalt production enables optimum operation of an asphalt plant utilizing fewer components of production equipment than found in conventional asphalt plants.
