Introduction
Road construction is an indispensable part of urban construction, and in the process of road construction, asphalt pavers and concrete pavers are two types of equipment that are often used. Both equipment have their own advantages and disadvantages and are suitable for different occasions. This article will focus on summarizing and comparing the basic differences and application scenarios between asphalt pavers and concrete pavers to help readers better understand the characteristics of these two types of equipment.
(Asphalt Paver)
Basic differences between asphalt pavers and concrete pavers
1. Different structures
The asphalt paver uses a traditional paving machine-specific chassis, which is mainly composed of an engine, a cab, tracks/tires, a paving control system, a processing system, and accessories. The concrete paver is composed of a concrete tank, a nozzle, a conveyor, a vibrator, and a control system.
2. Different working principles
During the operation of the asphalt paver, the molten asphalt needs to be poured into the asphalt tank of the paver, and then the asphalt is evenly sprayed on the road or site to be built through equipment such as conveyor belts. Concrete pavers use mixed concrete, transfer it on a conveyor belt, and then spread it on the construction site by throwing or vibrating it.
3. Different scopes of application
Asphalt pavers are usually used in road construction and maintenance to pave molten asphalt on the road; while concrete pavers are mainly used in places such as construction sites. After pouring concrete into the paver, it is paved on the construction site.
Application scenarios of asphalt pavers and concrete pavers
1. Application scenarios of asphalt pavers
The application scenarios of asphalt pavers are mainly urban roads and highways. There are a large number of vehicles passing through these sections, so the roads are required to have the characteristics of flatness, waterproofness, wear resistance and noise reduction, bringing a smoother and more comfortable experience for urban traffic.
2. Application scenarios of concrete pavers
The application scenarios of concrete pavers are mainly industrial and mining enterprises and various large construction sites, such as the ground of large underground garages, airports, port terminals, highway service areas, etc. Concrete has the characteristics of high hardness, wear resistance, not easy to age, simple construction, and environmental protection, so it is widely used in the above places.
(Concrete Paver)
Advantages and disadvantages of asphalt paver and concrete paver
1. Advantages and disadvantages of asphalt paver
Advantages: Asphalt paver can be laid in large quantities, with strong plasticity, and can be closely combined with the roadbed to form a solid road surface. Asphalt paver can also work normally at low temperatures.
Disadvantages: Asphalt paver has high requirements for air temperature, humidity, etc. during construction, and asphalt is volatile. The odor generated during construction and the solidified asphalt will also cause pipeline blockage or difficulty in opening.
2. Advantages and disadvantages of concrete paver
Advantages: Concrete paver can be paved in many occasions, such as airport runways, bridges, etc., with the characteristics of convenient construction and low cost.
Disadvantages: The working efficiency of concrete paver is low, special paving care is required, and the strength of concrete is easily affected by the external environment and requires long-term maintenance.
Conclusion
Through the introduction of this article, we can understand the differences between asphalt pavers and concrete pavers in terms of structure, working principle, application scenarios and characteristics. These two types of paving equipment play an important role in actual production, and readers can choose according to their actual needs.
