Description
- The YDST series bitumen melting machine developed by our company is a self-heating integrated structure. This equipment perfectly combines the thermal oil boiler with the melting equipment.
- The equipment uses a diesel burner as a heat source, the barrel bitumen is heated and dumped by hot air and by the thermal oil coils, and then melted into a liquid state.
- The machine can guarantee the quality of bitumen heating. In addition to keeping the advantages of DLT series equipment, it has higher thermal efficiency, smaller occupancy, easier installation, more convenient transfer, and lower transportation cost than DLT series equipment.
- The equipment has a beautiful appearance, reasonable and compact arrangement, stable and reliable performance, and is suitable for the production of bitumen barrel removal under various working conditions.

YDST Series Self-Heating Drum Bitumen Decanter
YDST Series Self-Heating Drum Bitumen Decanter is designed for drum-packed bitumen melting where contractors need an integrated heating configuration instead of a separate external thermal oil boiler.
The equipment combines a thermal oil boiler and drum bitumen decanter into one compact unit. It uses a diesel oil burner as the heat source, and melts drum bitumen through hot air heating, thermal oil coils, built-in heating furnace, and flue heat reuse before pumping liquid bitumen to a storage tank.
Why Choose YDST Series
-
Integrated Self-Heating Structure
YDST Series combines the thermal oil boiler and drum bitumen decanter into one integrated unit, reducing the need to transport and install a separate thermal oil boiler.
-
Diesel Burner Heating Source
The system uses a diesel oil burner as the heat source, making it suitable for road construction projects and remote asphalt plant support sites where diesel fuel is available.
-
Hot Air and Thermal Oil Coil Heating
Drum bitumen is heated by hot air and thermal oil coils, while the built-in heating furnace and flue heat reuse help improve heat transfer efficiency.
-
Compact and Easier Relocation
The integrated structure places the main components on or inside the decanter body, supporting easier transport, faster installation, and more convenient site relocation.
Drum Preparation
Open and lift drums onto the tipping device
Drum-packed bitumen is prepared and lifted onto the tipping device. This process is suitable for project sites that need a compact self-heating drum bitumen melting system.
Closed Decanting
Push drums into the closed decanter chamber
After positioning, drums are pushed into the closed decanter chamber. The enclosed structure helps support safer heating, heat retention, and controlled drum bitumen decanting.
Integrated Heating
Heat with diesel burner, hot air, and thermal oil coils
The built-in diesel burner provides heat for hot air heating and thermal oil coil heating. The built-in heating furnace and flue heating structure help reuse high-temperature heat inside the system.
Melting and Transfer
Collect, heat, and pump liquid bitumen to storage tank
Bitumen released from the drums is collected and heated in the lower chamber. After reaching a pumpable condition, the bitumen pump transfers liquid bitumen to a storage tank or downstream supply system.
Main Components
-
Decanter Tank
The decanter tank is the main vessel for drum bitumen decanting, liquid bitumen collection, heating, and transfer preparation.
-
Electric Hoist
The source configuration includes an electric hoist for drum handling. Final lifting arrangement should be confirmed according to site loading method and project layout.
-
Tipping Device
The tipping device helps position opened drums for decanting. It works with the drum feeding and hydraulic propelling system for drum movement into the chamber.
-
Diesel Burner
The diesel oil burner is the heating source of the self-heating system. The YDST-10 source data lists a burner heat value of 720,000 kcal.
-
Built-In Heating Furnace
The built-in heating furnace with thermal oil structure supports integrated heat transfer, reducing dependence on a separate external boiler.
-
Hydraulic Propelling System
The hydraulic propelling system moves drums into the closed decanter chamber, supporting the drum feeding and decanting process.
-
Temperature Control System
The diesel burner automatically starts and stops according to the set temperatures of bitumen and thermal oil.
-
Liquid Level Alarm System
The liquid level alarm system helps monitor material level during operation and supports safer bitumen pumping and transfer management.
-
Filter and Slag Removal
A filter device in the bitumen circulation tube helps remove slag and impurities from drum bitumen during circulation and transfer.
