The precise temperature and smart tech ensure excellent adhesion, boosting road durability and marking a high – quality infrastructure upgrade.This intelligent model is suitable for high-viscosity modified asphalt and emulsion and can improve the performance to reach the international advanced standard.
Chip sealer working in Boswana
Double surface treatment Process with Asphalt and Aggregate in Botswana. Asphalt heating temperature is typically controlled between 160-190°C. Constructed using a synchronous chip sealer, the first layer has a spray rate of 1.2 L/m² with aggregate size of 14-20 mm, and the second layer has a spray rate of 0.9 L/m² with aggregate size of 6.5-14 mm. Compaction is performed using double-drum and rubber-tired rollers.
The working of Slurry sealer in Mexico
In Sinaloa, Mexico, slurry seals are applied using cationic slow-cracking emulsified asphalt (CSS-1h), which accounts for 7.5%-15% of the aggregate weight, with 0.5%-2% cement as filler to enhance adhesion. Local hard limestone crushed stone is used as the aggregate, with a primary ES-2 grade (4.75-9.5mm) and a sand equivalent of 50% or more. Slurry sealers are applied at a constant speed of 1.5-3 km/h, maintaining a paving thickness of 4-6 mm. This extends the pavement’s service life by 5-7 years.
Mobile Asphalt Batch Plant
This truck-mounted asphalt batching plant is being used in Sudan for post-war road reconstruction. This patch vehicle resembles an asphalt mixing plant in structure. A lifting bucket rapidly loads aggregate, a drying drum heats the aggregate, and a dual-shaft mixing chamber mixes it with asphalt. The mixture production capacity is 20T/H, which is suitable for large-scale road repair projects in Sudan.
Drummed Asphalt Decanter Operation process
Asphalt drum decanter custom-built for Sumatra, Indonesia, adapts to customer needs with robust performance. It features an innovative trolley design for drum feeding, capable of loading 45 barrels of at a time. Paired with a 600,000 kcal thermal oil boiler, it ensures precise fulfillment of the 60-ton daily production capacity.
Boasting a streamlined structure, it significantly reduces maintenance difficulty and downtime. From Medan to Palembang, it provides stable support to keep construction on schedule.
Asphalt transport tank semi-trailer to Ghana
The 10 customized 45m³ asphalt transport tanks built by IKOM for Ghana have passed inspection and been shipped. Featuring a tri-axle chassis for both high load capacity and road adaptability, the tanks incorporate multi-layer thermal insulation and an intelligent temperature control system, maintaining asphalt temperature within ±5℃ to minimize material loss during transit. These tanks will be deployed in road upgrade projects in Ghana’s Western Region.
IKOM Chip Spreader in Kenya
The seal coat construction for sections of the A104 Municipal Highway project in Nairobi will utilize a process of applying asphalt followed by stone chips.
Before construction, the road surface will be cleaned. An asphalt spreader will apply tack coat asphalt according to set parameters, with a rate of approximately 0.8-1.2 L/㎡. A stone chip spreader will then rapidly distribute 6-10 mm stone chips at a rate of approximately 7-9 kg/㎡. After spreading, a rubber-tyred roller will be used to compact the stone chips into the asphalt at a speed no greater than 5 km/h, achieving waterproof and wear-resistant properties.
Emulsion asphalt plant operation in Mexico
In SINOLOA, Mexico, emulsified asphalt equipment is produced systematically. The process involves heating asphalt to 150°C-160°C for optimal fluidity, then precisely conveying it via an asphalt pump. Simultaneously, emulsifiers and water are blended in specific ratios within a preparation tank, heated to 55°C-65°C, and delivered by an emulsion proportioning pump to a premixer. In the premixer, asphalt and emulsifier solution undergo initial mixing before entering the critical colloid mill. The colloid mill uses high-speed grinding and shearing to disperse asphalt into fine particles uniformly within the emulsion, producing the final emulsified asphalt.
How Slip-form concrete paver working in Thailand?
Ethiopia applies IKOM WCP8000 slip-form concrete pavers in the Addis Ababa Ring Road expansion project, utilizing C30 concrete mixed with anti-cracking admixture. Equipped with auto-levelling and 115Hz high-frequency vibration systems, the machine achieves a paving speed of 4.2m/min while maintaining longitudinal flatness within ±2.5mm/m. The precise vibration frequency and constant speed control ensure concrete compactness reaches over 98%, enhancing road load-bearing capacity and extending service life by 15 years. This professional model is suitable for paving widths of 4.25-8.0m and thicknesses up to 450mm, and can adapt to high-temperature (32℃) construction environments, meeting the technical requirements of international high-grade highway projects.
Automatic Asphalt Distributor in Working
In a Kenyan road project, the volumetric concrete mixer was crucial for curb construction. Ideal for scattered sites requiring small, frequent concrete batches, it enabled precise on-site mixing of raw materials, minimizing waste from estimation errors. The mixer also allowed quick adjustments to mix proportions, meeting varying strength and durability needs across sections, thereby enhancing efficiency and construction quality.
Binding Agent Spreaders
In Ghana’s road construction, IKOM Binding Agent Spreaders efficiently distribute cement and lime onto the subgrade. The binding agents are then mixed with local soil and compacted to form a durable stabilized base, ideal for heavy traffic and tropical weather.
The spreaders work seamlessly with Wirtgen milling machines, which first mill uneven or damaged surfaces to ensure optimal spreading conditions, enhancing construction quality and efficiency.
MAX60 Airport & Expressway Road Sweeper at 60km/h
At Shanghai Pudong Airport, the IKOM MAX60 sweeper cleans the apron and surrounding roads. With a sweeping speed exceeding 60 km/h, it boosts efficiency and minimizes traffic disruption.
It features a central four-sweeping-disc and rear suction nozzle design. The discs adjust speed (high, medium, low) for different surfaces (apron, taxiways, runway roads), ensuring thorough cleaning and debris removal. A large 12 m³ garbage bin and 3.5 m³ water tank support extended operation, reducing resupply stops.
Rear directional arrow lights and top warning lights operate during sweeping to alert passing traffic and ground equipment, ensuring safety by prompting them to yield.
