Experimental study of the mixing process of asphalt concrete mixtures

The process of mixing mineral components with organic binders in the technology of preparation of hot asphalt concrete mixtures is considered. As a working hypothesis, the assumption of a functional relationship between the power consumption of the electric motor of the agitator and the mixing resistance is accepted. It is necessary to establish the dependence of the power consumption of the agitator drive on various technological parameters. Experiments were carried out: in laboratory and production conditions, which showed fairly simple dependencies.
