Hey everyone, have you ever used air blending for a 5,000 m3 asphalt tank?

Hey everyone, for a 5000 m3 asphalt tank, there are non-purified air coil units installed inside the tank, with openings on them used for asphalt mixing. Has anyone done this before? I need the process and equipment drawings, thank you! ! !

It’s asphalt that is mixed with air and sets very easily – is it easy to work with? Looking forward to replies from experts. @Emi

The wind is well-regulated; the wind absorbs heat, so the asphalt doesn’t solidify. The asphalt used in blending needs to be heated to at least 130 degrees, and the heating process continues during blending. The energy consumption might not be very high

When the viscosity of asphalt is high, a mixer is generally used for cyclic stirring to ensure uniformity

By \"air mixing,\" it probably refers to using factory air for stirring, right? Since I have no experience with it, I believe the following shortcomings may exist: 1. The temperature in the factory environment is lower than that of asphalt, which leads to a significant loss of heat, thereby increasing the amount of heat required for heating. 2. Asphalt tends to form bubbles and roll over, similar to tanks at low temperatures. 3. The factory has high air consumption. 4. A large amount of waste gas is generated at the top of the tanks, which needs to be discharged outside

I’ve never seen one with a balanced flavor. We all add steam internal coils.

The mixer achieves good mixing uniformity

We used a mixer, which results in good uniformity.

What you said is all correct, but compared to mechanical stirring, air mixing is extremely efficient!

In what aspects is high efficiency reflected? Low overall energy consumption? Is the harmonization effect good?
