Kenya Highway Success: Optimizing Bitumen Logistics with YDLR-10 Decanters

Project Background

In 2024, a leading construction company in East Africa undertook a national highway development project that required large-scale and continuous asphalt supply. The project faced several challenges: limited infrastructure for liquid bitumen transportation, high fuel costs, and the need for fast equipment installation on-site.

Customer Requirements

The client specifically requested:

1. A bitumen drum decanter capable of melting up to 5 tons of bitumen per hour, ensuring uninterrupted asphalt supply.
2. Bitumen storage tanks with advanced thermal oil heating systems to maintain stable bitumen temperature.
3. Equipment that is easy to install, cost-effective, and suitable for local working conditions.
