Successful Case: Feiteng bagged asphalt melting equipment helps Russia highway construction efficient construction

1. Project Background

A large Russian road construction company, tasked with a national highway renovation project in the Far East, faced the challenge of melting bitumen materials on-site. The project location was far from refineries, and transporting liquid bitumen was costly and subject to climate limitations. The customer ultimately decided to use bagged bitumen transportation and sought efficient, eco-friendly melting equipment.
Dezhou Feiteng Road Construction Equipment Co., Ltd., with over a decade of experience in bitumen equipment R&D and a strong track record of cooperation with countries along the Belt and Road Initiative (such as Russia and Pakistan), successfully won the project bid and provided a customized bagged bitumen melting solution.

2. Customer Demands and Challenges

• Harsh Working Conditions: The Far East region experiences extreme cold (-30°C in winter), requiring equipment to start quickly and operate stably.
• High Efficiency: The melting equipment needed to process over 50 tons of bagged bitumen daily to ensure construction schedules were met.
• Environmental Compliance: The equipment needed to meet local Russian emissions standards to prevent asphalt volatilization and pollution.
• Ease of Operation: Reduce dependence on manual labor and adapt to the challenging field work environment.

3. Solution: Feiteng YDLR-10 Bagged Bitumen Melting Equipment

Dezhou Feiteng recommended the YDLR-10 model bagged bitumen melting equipment, offering the following core advantages:

• Energy-Efficient Design:
  The equipment uses a thermal oil circulation heating system that improves heat efficiency by 30%. It also features a dual-fuel burner (compatible with both oil and gas) that allows for rapid heating in extremely cold environments.

• Modular Structure:
  The modular design supports quick on-site assembly, reducing project delays.

• Intelligent Control:
  Equipped with a PLC automatic control system, the unit can monitor bitumen temperature (adjustable between 120°C-160°C) and liquid level in real time, enabling unmanned operation.
  The built-in fault diagnosis module and remote warning system reduce the risk of downtime.

• Environmental and Safety Features:
  A closed melting chamber combined with an exhaust gas recovery system reduces harmful emissions, meeting EU CE certification standards.
  Explosion-proof heating pipes and an emergency shutdown feature ensure safety in extreme cold conditions.

• High Adaptability:
  The YDLR-10 can handle 170-200 kg bags of bitumen and is compatible with deformable packaging, reducing material waste.
  It is equipped with a mobile rail unloading system, minimizing manual handling.

4. Implementation Results

• Increased Efficiency:
  The equipment processes an average of 55 tons of bitumen daily, reducing melting time by 40%, allowing the project to be completed 15 days ahead of schedule.

• Cost Savings:
  Energy consumption was reduced by 25%, while labor costs decreased by 60%, resulting in total savings of over $180,000 for the customer.

• Environmental Compliance:
  Emissions were 30% below Russia's national standards, earning commendations from local environmental authorities.

• Long-term Cooperation:
  Based on the success of this project, the customer ordered an additional 2 units and plans to promote Feiteng modified bitumen equipment in future projects.

5. Customer Testimonial

“The performance of Feiteng equipment far exceeded our expectations! Even in extreme environments with temperatures as low as -25°C, the melting efficiency remained stable. Their technical team provided 24/7 remote support to ensure zero-failure operation.”
