Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of highway engineering technology, specifically to an asphalt melting device for highway engineering. Background Technology

[0002] Asphalt is a brownish-black organic gel-like substance, including four types: natural asphalt, petroleum asphalt, shale asphalt, and coal tar pitch. Its main components are asphaltenes and resins, followed by high-boiling-point mineral oils and small amounts of oxygen, sulfur, and chlorine compounds. It has a glossy appearance and exists in liquid, semi-solid, or solid states. It is brittle at low temperatures and has good adhesion and anti-corrosion properties. Therefore, asphalt is mainly used in industries such as coatings, plastics, and rubber, as well as in road paving. The road asphalt commonly seen in highway engineering is mainly semi-solid petroleum asphalt or modified asphalt. In addition, asphalt needs to be melted before use in highway engineering in order to mix and bind with other materials.
