Unlocking Performance: How Modified Bitumen Equipment Enhances Road Quality

GerryJarl

As traffic loads increase and climate conditions become more extreme, traditional asphalt mixtures are no longer enough. Modern infrastructure demands higher performance materials—especially polymer-modified bitumen (PMB)—to deliver safer, longer-lasting roads.

At the heart of this transformation is modified bitumen equipment—advanced systems designed to blend base bitumen with polymers like SBS, EVA, or rubber powder to enhance elasticity, temperature resistance, and durability.

What Is Modified Bitumen Equipment?

Modified bitumen equipment is an integrated system for producing PMB (polymer-modified bitumen). These machines mix base bitumen with additives under controlled temperature and shear force conditions. Key components include:

  • Bitumen storage and heating tank

  • Polymer feeding system (manual or automatic)

  • High-shear colloid mill or grinding system

  • Reaction and mixing chamber

  • Automatic temperature and flow control

At Feiteng, our YDL Series Modified Bitumen Plants are designed for both batch and continuous production, offering capacities from 5 to 30 tons/hour.

Why Use Modified Bitumen?

🔸 1. Better Resistance to Rutting and Cracking

PMB retains flexibility at low temperatures and stiffness at high temperatures, making it ideal for areas with heavy truck traffic or temperature variation.

🔸 2. Longer Pavement Lifespan

Due to enhanced elasticity and binder strength, modified asphalt resists aging, water damage, and fatigue better than standard mixes.

🔸 3. Improved Safety and Ride Comfort

Smoother roads, fewer potholes, and reduced surface deformation translate into safer and more comfortable driving experiences.

Key Features of Feiteng Modified Bitumen Equipment

✅ High-Shear Mixing

Our grinding and dispersion systems use colloid mills or multi-stage rotors to ensure the polymer is evenly distributed and fully activated.

✅ Full Automation and Control

Using advanced PLC and HMI panels, operators can monitor temperature, viscosity, mixing speed, and dosing in real time for precision performance.

✅ Modular Design for Easy Expansion

Our systems are scalable—from small batch setups to fully automated, containerized continuous production plants.

✅ Energy Efficiency

All tanks are thermally insulated and use diesel or thermal oil burners to save fuel and ensure uniform heating.

✅ Compatible With Multiple Additives

Our equipment can work with:

  • SBS/APP/EVA

  • Crumb rubber powder

  • Anti-stripping agents

  • Rejuvenators for RAP (Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement)

Applications of Modified Bitumen Equipment

  • Highways & Expressways

  • Airport Runways

  • Urban Roads

  • Bridge Deck Waterproofing

  • RAP Recycling Projects

Many governments and infrastructure agencies now require PMB for critical roads, bridges, and ports. In countries across Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, Feiteng’s modified bitumen plants are helping clients meet these evolving standards.

Success Story: 30TPH PMB Plant in East Africa

One of our clients in East Africa recently commissioned a 30-ton/hour modified bitumen production line, including SBS polymer feeders, dual colloid mills, and a fully automated control system. It helped them win a government tender for expressway construction thanks to the superior asphalt performance and reliable batch quality.
