Description
- ~06~)Z7~3 The invention is concerned with improvements in or relating to the production of coated aggregate material, in which suitably graded aggregate material is mixed with a bituminous binder to produce, for example, roadstone mixture.
In the production of coated aggregate material there arises the problem of dust formation and steps are necessary to prevent undue atmospheric pollution. It is considered essential that the uncoated aggregate material be in a heated condition when the liquefied bituminous binder is applied, to prevent premature solidification of the binder and consequent inadequate mixing and coating.
However, the heating of the uncoated material causes fine particles adhering to the aggregate to-be separated off and picked up by the stream of heating gases. Removal of the dust from the waste gas, preferably for return to the mixing stage, is expensive, involving costly filters, cyclones, washing apparatus, precipitators and the like. Frequently the control of dust emission to a level below the permitted 20 maximum represents as large a proportion of the production costs as do the actual heating and mixing operations.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a process for the production of coated aggregate materials which minimises the above disadvantages.
According to the invention there is provided a process for the production of aggregate material coated with a bituminous binder which comprises the steps of a) passing the aggregate material successively through first~ second and third mixing regions, b) mixing the undried unheated aggregate material

-2-~060278 with suitable cohesion-promoting additives in said first mixing region, c) subjecting the mixture to the heating effect of heated gases flowing in the same dir~ction as the mixture in said second mixing region, and d) adding a liquefied bituminous binder to the heated aggregate/additive mixture in said third mixing region to coat particles comprising said ag~regate material.
Conveniently, where the uncoated aggregate material is too dry to provide sufficient water vapour in the second and third mixing regions to prevent degradation of the material, water may be added to the material at the first mixing region. :
The invention further provides apparatus suitable for use in carrying out the above states process, comprising a cylindrical mixing chamber adapted to rotate about a lengthwise extending axis thereof, means to facilitate mixing of materials charged to said chamber as said materials pass 20 therethrough in a path parallel to said axis, the chamber having material input means and discharge means, a first mixing region at one end thereof in the vicinity of said input means, a second mixing region at an intermediate locality of the chamber and a third mixing region at an opposite end of the chamber in the vicinity of said discharge means, and being provided with a burner device arranged to direct a flow of heating gases from said second region towards said third region, the chamber being further provided with a partition wall partially dividing said first region from said second .~
6~Z78 region, and delivery means to supply liquefied binder to the third region thereof.
~ dvantageously the position of the burner device is adjustable within said second region. ~imilarly the position o~ the partition wall is adjustable to vary the effective lengthwise dimensions of the first and second regions according to operating conditions and it is convenient if the burner device and the partition wall are interconnected by suitable mounting arr~ngements for simultaneous adjustment.
~ he burner device may conveniently comprise a single burner or a plurality of burner units.
Conveniently the input means of the chamber provides facilities for charging aggregate material and cohesion-promoting additives separately, water being added to the additive charge if required.
It is also advantageous to provide for adjusting of the position of the binder delivery means within the third region of the chamber.

': ' ' 106~278 ~ he apparatus comprises a mixing chamber 2 including a cylindrical wall 4 moun-ted for rotation abou-t a lengthwise extending axis by drive means (not shown). ~he chamber is mounted in a slightly inclined position, the angle of inclination being variable from the hori~ontal to assist in the passage of charged materials therethrough in a direction from left to right as viewed in the drawing. Mixing of the material during its passage is enhanced by the presence of lifters 6 on the interior of the wall 4, Input means at one end of the chamber comprise a chute 8 for directing undried aggregate material from a conveyor 10 into a first mixing region A of the chamber, together with cohesion-promoting additives, lime, asbestos, slate flour, or other substances such as resins and polymers selected according to the conditions of operation. Such additives are charged into the region A of the chamber from a pipe 12 together with the re~uired quantity of water.
~ he chute 8 enters the chamber through a stationary end wall 14. A burner device 16 is also mounted in the end wall 14 for limited sliding lengthwise movement. ~he device 16 is arranged to project into the chamber along the axis of rotation.

hrranged ~etween the regions A and B is a parti-tion wall 20 which partly divides the chamber at this poin-t. '~he wall is disc-shaped c~nd securely mounted upon the leading end portion of the burner device 16, leaving an annular passage around the periphery of the wall 20.
~ he second mixing region B is that portion of the chamber between the partition wall 20 and the discharge end 19 of the pipe 18. ~he region between the pipe end 19 and the discharge end of the chamber is the third mixing region.
A flue 22 takes off the hot gases and exhaust products and a discharge chute 24 carries away the coated aggregate material.
~ he operation of the apparatus described in this example is as follows.
Undried, uncoated aggregate material is conveyed into the chute 8 together with the required amount of additive, in the present example, lime, being about 2% of the dry weight of aggregate, which may be what is termed "base mix"
i.e. an intermediate layer in the construction of a road. If necessary, water will be added to the additives which are charged to the chamber 2 in the form of a slurry or dispersion. ~he material and additives which are both at ambient temperature are mixed together in the first mixing region, A, of the rotating chamber. ~he lifters 6 aid the thoroughness of this mixing.
~ he angle at which the chamber is tilted and the ingress of further material causes the already mixed material to move : 6 ~ 06~78 to the right a~d enter the second mixing region, B, through -the annular passage around the periphery of the partition wall 20.
Here the mixing action continues, but the mixed material is now subjected to the radia.ted heat a~d the heated gases issuing from the burner device 16. '~his causes the temperature of the material to rise to between 50 - 80C and for a considerable degree of drying-out to occur.
Further progress in a direction to the right of the drawing brings the new dried material into the third mixing region and into contact with liquefied bituminous binder supplied through the pipe 18. r~he binder has been liquefied by suitable heating means (not shown) not forming part of the present invention~
q'he burner device is regulated to maintain the material temperature at approximately an even level until the coated material is discharged by the chute 24, the gases and exhaust products leaving through the flue 22.
Where the aggregate material to be coated is, for example, a top or we æ ing surface quality, the material is charged at ambient tempera-ture as before. r~he mixing takes place as before, but it will be found advantageous to regulate the burner device to produce a temperature in the material of between 80 - 100C at the discharge end 19 of pipe 18. r~he temperature of the material as it traverses -the third mixing region a will then rise to, for example, 150 - 180~, or a similar temperature appropriate to the materials being used.
Where -the materials used demand a longer mixing time in : 7 :

the region A, i.e. the cold mixing region, the par-tition wall 20 and the burner device 16 will be in a position to the right of their permitted range of movement. In order to give the required amount of drying time before the third region C is reached, it will probably be necessary -to move the pipe 18 towards the right hand end of the chamber. The degree of penetration of the bituminous binder will determine how far the pipe can be positioned at the right hand end of its range to allow for adequate coating.
Alternatively where the materials require a comparatively lengthy drying operation, the burner 16 and the partition 20 may be moved towards the left to bring -the materials into the second mixing region at an earlier stage in their passage throu~h the chamber.
