The batching system is one of the core parts of Asphalt mixing plant. It is responsible for adding various raw materials to the blender in a certain proportion. These raw materials include asphalt, sand, gravel and other additives. The batching system usually consists of a weighing sensor, a batching bucket and a batching transfer device.
The dryer is another important part of the Asphalt mixing plant. It is mainly used for drying raw materials such as sand and stones. There are heating elements and rotating agitators inside the dryer, which can make the raw materials fully heated and mixed evenly.
Mixer is one of the core parts of Asphalt mixing station. It is responsible for mixing various raw materials together to produce a high quality asphalt mixture. The agitator usually consists of multiple mixing blades, which can fully mix the raw materials to ensure the stable quality of the asphalt mixture produced.
Dust removal system is one of the important components of Asphalt mixing plant. It is mainly used to collect dust and exhaust gases generated during the production process. The dust removal system is usually composed of multiple filters, which can effectively filter out dust and exhaust gas to ensure a clean working environment and air quality.
Fuel system is one of the key parts of Asphalt mixing plant. It is responsible for providing the fuel to power the Asphalt mixing plant. The fuel system usually consists of a fuel pump, a fuel filter and a fuel injector.
Asphalt mixing plant is a kind of high efficiency asphalt mixture production equipment, widely used in road construction field. It has the advantages of high automation, high production efficiency, stable product quality and so on, and provides a strong support and guarantee for road construction.
Commercial building fire in Des Plaines, 12/29/17
On December 29, 2017, the Des Plaines Fire Department was called to a fire at the Car-X Muffler shop located at 1108 E. Oakton, approximately half a mile from Station 62. Upon arrival, Engine 62 reported flames and immediately initiated an interior attack. Within minutes, fire was visible from two sides of the building and through the roof, prompting an immediate shift to an exterior attack. Both Des Plaines tower ladders were deployed as the incident escalated to a working fire.
The B-sector wall collapsed shortly after, causing part of the roof to fall. A MABAS Box Alarm was activated, bringing in additional units to support the operation. Park Ridge Tower Ladder 36 was dispatched to the rear, providing a third elevated master stream supplied by a Rosemont engine.
A wide array of units responded to the scene, including Des Plaines engines 61, 62, and 63; towers 61 and 63; ambulances 61, 62, and 63; and Battalion 61, 6100, and 6101. Mutual aid units included Park Ridge Tower 36 and Ambulance 36, Rosemont Engine 156, Glenview Engine 8, North Maine Engine 1, Elk Grove Township Engine 11, Schiller Park Tower 5 and Battalion 5, Morton Grove Quint 4, Skokie Tower 16, Northbrook Ambulance 10, Wheeling Ambulance 24, a warming bus from Mount Prospect, and Elk Grove Ambulance 7.
Several onlookers and media personnel were present, and this is the first of several updates to follow. The fire caused significant damage, with thick smoke and visible flames engulfing the structure. Firefighters worked tirelessly under challenging conditions to contain the blaze and prevent it from spreading to nearby buildings.
Photos from the scene, captured by Larry Shapiro, show the intensity of the fire, the deployment of multiple ladder trucks, and the dramatic collapse of the building’s wall. These images offer a powerful visual account of the event.
