Asphalt mixing plants are essential industrial equipment at construction sites nowadays, mainly used for producing asphalt and concrete for the construction of highways, graded roads, municipal roads, airports and ports. After all, as large-scale industrial equipment, certain key precautions must be followed to ensure the safety of operators. This article briefly introduces the key points for attention in the application of asphalt concrete mixing machinery.

Asphalt mixing plants are energy-saving and environment-friendly equipment. Thanks to the bottom array design of the finished product hopper, the floor area is relatively reduced, and the modification of the finished product feeder is also minimized, thus lowering the equipment's wear and failure rates. The installation of dust filter bags results in minimal heat loss, making it an energy-saving piece of equipment.

Operators of asphalt mixing plants need to pay attention to certain safety hazards during work. They must wear a unified uniform, and high-visibility work clothes are a must when entering the construction site. While the equipment is in operation, assigned personnel are required to patrol the surrounding area in a steady and safe manner to prevent unnecessary interference or the entry of unauthorized personnel, which may create potential safety hazards. All patrolling personnel and on-site staff must wear safety helmets.

Workers are not allowed to wear flip-flops during work, because flip-flops increase the risk of slipping and falling, and any such accident may lead to severe losses, so extreme caution is required. Before starting the equipment, the operator in the control room must sound a siren to warn the surrounding personnel, and the equipment can only be started after all personnel nearby have kept a safe distance from the hazardous areas of the equipment.
