Successful Application of Feiteng Emulsified Bitumen Plant in Africa

With rapid infrastructure development taking place across Africa, the demand for efficient and durable road construction solutions continues to grow. Countries such as Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria, and Tanzania are investing heavily in highway expansion and rural road improvement projects. To meet these demands, contractors are turning to asphalt emulsion technology, which offers lower costs, improved safety, and enhanced environmental performance.

As a professional manufacturer of road construction machinery, Feiteng Road Construction Equipment Co., Ltd. has successfully supplied several sets of emulsified bitumen plants to African partners. These systems have been widely recognized for their stability, automation, and energy efficiency, helping clients build smoother and longer-lasting roads in challenging working environments.

Project Background

In many African regions, road construction projects face difficulties such as:

• Limited access to refined bitumen;

• Long transportation distances from oil refineries;

• Unstable fuel supply and electricity conditions;

• High ambient temperatures and seasonal rainfall.

These challenges make traditional hot bitumen methods less efficient and more expensive. To overcome them, African contractors are increasingly adopting bitumen emulsion technology, which allows the production of road binders at lower temperatures and reduced fuel costs, while maintaining excellent bonding performance.

Feiteng’s Solution: Reliable and Adaptable Emulsified Bitumen Plant

Feiteng provided a YHZL series emulsified bitumen equipment tailored to local conditions in Africa. The system integrates thermal oil heating, high-shear colloid mills, and PLC intelligent control, ensuring stable and precise production of high-quality asphalt emulsions.

Key Technical Advantages

1. Dual Heating System
   Combines thermal oil and electric heating to maintain consistent temperature even under fluctuating power supply conditions.

2. High Automation and Easy Operation
   The PLC touch-screen control system enables one-button operation, real-time monitoring, and automatic fault alarms, ensuring safe and stable performance.

3. Efficient Colloid Mill
   Produces fine, uniform emulsion particles with excellent adhesion and durability, meeting international standards for road sealing and maintenance.

4. Compact and Modular Design
   Designed for easy installation and transportation, ideal for contractors operating in multiple sites or remote regions.

5. Energy Saving and Environmentally Friendly
   Sealed production minimizes emissions, while the optimized heating system reduces fuel consumption by up to 20–30% compared with traditional equipment.

On-Site Performance

After installation and commissioning by Feiteng engineers, the equipment achieved stable daily production of emulsified bitumen within just a few days. The produced emulsions were used for:

• Surface sealing of provincial highways;

• Cold-mix paving for rural road rehabilitation;

• Pothole patching and maintenance of existing pavements.

Local contractors praised the equipment for its reliability, consistent product quality, and ease of operation. Even under tropical conditions, the plant maintained excellent temperature control and continuous operation.
