Abstract
Asphalt mixing plant, comprising a mixing drum and a temperature monitoring system, the temperature monitoring system comprising a temperature sensor configured for contactless measurement of a material temperature of an asphalt mix to obtain at least a first temperature value for at least a first point of time, where the temperature sensor is arranged at an area of an output of the mixing drum or at a discharge chute of the mixing drum; and an operation and monitoring unit and a remote server; whereby the operation and monitoring unit is configured to wirelessly transmit the at least first temperature value to the remote server via a wireless communication interface unit.
Claims17
Asphalt mixing plant (100), comprising a mixing drum (120) and a temperature monitoring system (200), the temperature monitoring system (200) comprising:
- a temperature sensor (210) configured for contactless measurement of a material temperature of an asphalt mix (50) to obtain at least a first temperature value for at least a first point of time, where the temperature sensor (210) is arranged at an area of an output of the mixing drum (120) or at a discharge chute (121) of the mixing drum (120);
- where the temperature sensor is directed to the ready-mixed material outputted by the mixing drum or the discharge chute of the mixing drum;
- and
- an operation and monitoring unit (230) and a remote server (310);
- whereby
- the operation and monitoring unit (230) is configured to wirelessly transmit the at least first temperature value to the remote server (310) via a wireless communication interface unit (250).
Temperature monitoring system (200) for an asphalt mixing plant, comprising:
- a temperature sensor (210) configured for contactless measurement of a material temperature of an asphalt mix (50) to obtain at least a first temperature value for at least a first point of time, where the temperature sensor (210) is arranged at an area of an output of a mixing drum (120) of the asphalt plant (100) or at a discharge chute (121) of the mixing drum (120) of the asphalt mixing plant (100);
- and
- an operation and monitoring unit (230) and a remote server (310);
- whereby the operation and monitoring unit (230) is configured to wirelessly transmit the at least first temperature value to the remote server (310) via a wireless communication interface unit (250).
Asphalt mixing plant (100), comprising a mixing drum (120) and a temperature monitoring system (200), the temperature monitoring system (200) comprising:
- a temperature sensor (210) configured for contactless measurement of a material temperature of an asphalt mix (50) to obtain at least a first temperature value for at least a first point of time, where the temperature sensor (210) is arranged at an area of an output of the mixing drum (120) or at a discharge chute (121) of the mixing drum (120);
- where the temperature sensor is directed to the ready-mixed material outputted by the mixing drum or the discharge chute of the mixing drum;
- and
- an operation and monitoring unit (230);
- whereby
- the operation and monitoring unit (230) is configured to wirelessly receive the at least first temperature value from a wireless communication interface unit (250) of the temperature sensor (210).
Method for monitoring and/or operating an asphalt mixing plant (100), the method comprises the steps of:
- contactless measuring a material temperature of an asphalt mix (50) by use of a temperature sensor (210) to obtain at least a first temperature value for at least a first point of time, where the temperature sensor (210) is arranged at an area of an output of the mixing drum (120) or at a discharge chute (121) of the mixing drum (120);
- and
- wirelessly transmitting the at least first temperature value to the remote server (310) via a wireless communication interface unit (250).
