WHAT IS FOAMED BITUMEN?

 

bitum bọt

 

The foamed bitumen injected via the nozzle at the expansion chamber is suitable for direct mixing with the mineral aggregate mixture.

 

Foamed bitumen is produced from standard grade bitumen used in asphalt road construction. When heated and foamed, bitumen permits the economical production of high-quality base layers. Foamed bitumen is produced by injecting small quantities of water and compressed air into hot bitumen.

 

The water evaporates, causing the bitumen to foam abruptly and expand to around 15 to 20 times its original volume. The quality of foamed bitumen is primarily described in terms of its expansion ratio and half-life. The larger its expansion and the higher its half-life, the better suited to processing the foamed bitumen will be

 

Compared to other binders, foamed bitumen offers the advantage of reduced transport and material costs. Bitumen used for the production of foamed bitumen is readily available in all parts of the world.

Foaming takes place in expansion chambers where water and air are injected into hot bitumen (160°C to 180°C) at a pressure of approx. 5 bar. Development of half-life and expansion ratio to determine the water

WLB 10 S - SIMULATING THE COLD RECYCLING PROCESS IN THE LABORATORY

 

WLB 10 S determines the optimum bitumen foam. Foamed bitumen is used to an ever-increasing extent as an economical binder in cold recycling. Preliminary testing with the mobile WLB 10 S laboratory plant enables the foamed bitumen quality to be precisely defined in the laboratory prior to the start of construction. Exceptional ease of operation enables parameters such as water amount, pressure and temperature to be varied quickly and different types of foamed bitumen to be produced within a short time. Based on the results achieved, the WLM 30 laboratory mixer can then be used to determine the composition of the recycling mix.

 

The plant offers ease of operation and maintenance, as well as a compact, mobile design. It can also be used to test the suitability of mixes with added cement or lime in combination with foamed bitumen.

WLM 1 - THE IDEAL CHOICE FOR BITUMENSTABILIZED MATERIAL

 

WLV 1 laboratory compactor for specimen manufacture.  The WLV 1 is used for the manufacture of test specimens from bitumen-stabilized material. It is equipped with a powerful vibrating hammer and heavy-duty tamping foot. The efficient path-controlled and time-controlled compaction process is documented via a colour screen. Intuitive operation enables easy adjustment of the specimen height, number of layers and maximum time of compaction.

 

Compacting multiple layers of equal thickness in a series of specimens achieves consistent compaction results. A standard procedure for the manufacture of test specimens using the WLV 1 has already proven its worth in the industry.

Clearly structured operating concept and simple variation of parameters.

 

Reliable compaction process

 

The WLV 1 laboratory compactor offers an ideal solution for the manufacture of specimens from bitumen-stabilized material (BSM).

 

The core element of the WLV 1 laboratory compactor, a height-adjustable vibrating hammer, is mounted at a vertical column. The vibrating hammer uses a heavy-duty tamping foot to transfer a precisely defined amount of impact energy on the material filled into a cylindrical mould in multiple layers. In the process, a surface roughener is used to ensure a firm bond with the next, upper layer.

 

Following completion of each compaction process, the vibrating hammer returns to its initial position automatically. This feature substantially increases productivity in the manufacture of test specimens.

- Specimens of different height are manufactured depending on the testing method.

 

-  Quality check by performing the indirect tensile strength test.

 

Perfect specimens for different testing methods

 

Once the specified final height of the specimen has been achieved, the specimen can simply be removed from the mould by means of a quick-release fastener and then prepared for the testing method to be applied.

 

Specimens of 152 mm in diameter and 95 mm in height can be produced to determine the indirect tensile strength (ITS).

 

Large specimens of 152 mm in diameter and 300 mm in height are produced for use in triaxial testing.

- Even large specimens can be manufactured quite easily.

 

- WIRTGEN also supplies triaxial testing equipment.

 

 WLM 30 - MIXES EVERY BIT AS HOMOGENEOUS AS ON THE CONSTRUCTION SITE

 

Direct injection of the foamed bitumen into the mixing chamber of the WLM 30 laboratory mixer enables mixes to be processed under real-life conditions and test specimens to be manufactured. In addition, the twin-shaft compulsory mixer is perfectly matched to the aboratory plant in terms of design and performance.

 

The high mixing intensity corresponds to that of continuous mixers used on the construction site. The WLM 30 has a filling capacity of approx. 30 kg and offers variable settings for speed and mixing time. The mixing chamber is simply pivoted downwards about 180° and the cover opened to allow discharge of the mix. And what’s more: when used separately, the WLM 30 is suitable for the production of a wide variety of mix compositions.
