Main Structure and ComponentsThe main structure consists of the following systems:

Cold Aggregate Supply System

It includes multiple cold feed bins, belt feeders, and a collecting belt conveyor, responsible for feeding aggregates into the drum steadily and proportionally.

Drum Assembly

This is the "heart" of the plant. It is a large, long cylindrical drum with a certain inclination angle, supported by riding rings and rotated at a constant speed by a drive unit. Various types of lifting flights are installed on the inner wall of the drum to lift and cascade the material, ensuring full contact with the hot gas stream and even mixing.

Burning System

It includes the burner, fuel (oil or gas) supply system, and blower fan, providing the heat source for drying and heating the aggregates.

Bitumen Supply System

It includes the insulated bitumen tank, bitumen pump, metering device, and spraying device, responsible for accurately metering and spraying the bitumen.

Dust Collection System

Due to continuous production, a large amount of dust is generated. Therefore, high-efficiency dust collection equipment, typically a baghouse filter, must be installed to capture dust generated during production and meet environmental requirements.

Finished Material Conveying and Storage System

It lifts the finished material from the drum and conveys it to the hot storage silo for temporary storage.

Control System

A modern control center, using a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and computer, realizes automatic control and monitoring of the entire production process, ensuring accurate proportions and stable temperature.

Mixing System

Based on the flow direction relationship between the hot gas stream and the material inside the drum, drum mixers are mainly divided into two types:

Counterflow Drum Mixer

Features: The direction of the flame and hot gas stream is opposite to the direction of material flow. The hot gas enters at the discharge end and exits at the feed end.

Advantages: High thermal efficiency and lower fuel consumption, as cold material first contacts the lower-temperature exhaust gas for preheating, preventing the bitumen from being burned at high temperatures.

Disadvantages: Bitumen fumes and dust tend to escape at the feed end, requiring higher dust sealing performance.

Parallel-flow (Co-current) Drum Mixer

Features: The direction of the flame and hot gas stream is the same as the direction of material flow.

Advantages: Material contacts the highest-temperature flame immediately upon entering the drum, resulting in fast drying and heating.

Disadvantages: If not properly controlled, bitumen can easily age at high temperatures, and thermal efficiency is slightly lower than that of counterflow type. This is the more common type currently.

The main components of the plant consist of the following systems:

Cold Aggregate Supply System: Cold feed bins, belt feeders, collecting belt conveyor.

Drying & Heating System: Drying drum, burner.

Hot Aggregate Lifting, Screening & Storage System: Bucket elevator, vibrating screen, hot bins.

Weighing System: Aggregate scale, filler scale, bitumen scale.
