Bitumen Decanters | FEITENG

Bitumen Decanters are specialized equipment used to convert solid bitumen (such as bitumen in drums or bags) into liquid form through heating and melting processes. These machines play a vital role in bitumen processing, road construction, waterproofing projects, and other industries.

Key Features of Bitumen Decanters

1. Efficient Melting: Bitumen Decanters employ advanced heating technologies to melt solid bitumen quickly and uniformly, enhancing production efficiency.
2. Energy-Saving and Environmental Protection: They are designed with an emphasis on energy utilization efficiency, minimizing energy waste through optimized thermal management systems. Some may even be equipped with waste heat recovery systems to further reduce energy consumption.
3. Intelligent Control: Equipped with intelligent control systems, they enable one-touch startup, automated operations, and real-time monitoring, enhancing operational convenience and safety.
4. Versatility: They are suitable for processing various types of solid bitumen, including those in drums and bags, catering to diverse construction needs.
5. Eco-Friendly Design: Some models adopt low-emission combustion technologies and high-efficiency filtration systems to minimize the generation and emission of exhaust gases and waste residues, complying with environmental regulations.

Working Principle

Bitumen Decanters primarily utilize heating systems to apply heat to solid bitumen, causing it to melt and transform into a liquid state. Heating methods may include direct flame heating, hot oil circulation heating, or electric heating. During the heating process, the bitumen is uniformly heated and melted, subsequently conveyed to the point of use through piping or pumping systems.

Application Scenarios

1. Road Construction: In highway, urban road, and other road construction projects, Bitumen Decanters are used to melt solid bitumen for pavement applications.
2. Waterproofing Projects: In roof waterproofing, basement waterproofing, and other waterproofing works, melted bitumen is applied for coating or laying waterproof materials.
3. Petrochemical Industry: Bitumen Decanters are also utilized in the processing and storage of bitumen within the petrochemical industry.
