OBJECT:
|
Dissolve butadiene crumb rubber into 1,000 gallons of asphalt at 360 degrees F.
|
|
PROBLEM:
|
Crumb rubber tends to agglomerate and “golf ball sized” lumps take 24 hours to fully dissolve.
|
|
RESULTS:
|
Lumps are ground down to minus ¼” in one pass through Dicon – recirculation grinds rubber down to 20 mesh (1/32” or 780 microns).
|
|
AB MIXER:
|
Model 6 x 3 Dicon with heat tracing tape
|
|
BENEFIT:
EQUIPMENT
REPLACED
|
Complete dissolving occurs in one hour. Batches are now made on demand instead of “day before”.
Colloid mill
