IMPROVEMENT TO MOBILE ASPHALT PLANTS WITH SIDE PROTECTORS

摘要

The present utility model pertains to the technical field of equipment for producing asphalt concrete (AC) or hot mix asphalt concrete (HMAC), and relates more particularly to an improvement to mobile asphalt plants provided with side protectors. Proposed are protective screens for the areas which should be avoided by operators and others, where high temperatures and noise levels prevail. The protectors are installed in the area where virgin aggregate arriving from the metering system is transferred to the drying/heating system, where the intake temperature of the metered material is high and elements such as the conveyor belt can cause injury to operators. The other area to be isolated is the place where the burner of the plant carries out the process of combustion. In addition to protecting these areas in order to avoid any contact of the operators with the heated system, there is also a reduction in noise in these areas. Thus, by using thermally and acoustically insulating screens, it is clearly possible to increase safety at work.
