What is bitumen melting plant？ | FEITENG Suppliers of bitumen equipment

A bagged bitumen melting plant is a mechanical device specially designed to handle bagged bitumen materials with the primary purpose of heating and converting bagged solid or semi-solid bitumen into flowable liquid bitumen for use in road construction, maintenance and other projects. Such equipment usually has the following features and functions:

Equipment Features

Efficient melting: The bagged bitumen melting equipment adopts efficient heating methods, such as thermal oil heating system or fire pipe heating, which can quickly heat and melt the bagged bitumen blocks.

Safety: The equipment design takes into account the operation safety, usually adopts indirect heating method to avoid direct contact with the flame and reduce the risk of safety accidents.

Energy saving and environmental protection: through precise temperature control and efficient heat exchange system, the bagged bitumen melting equipment can ensure the melting efficiency, while reducing energy consumption, to achieve energy saving and environmental protection.

Convenient operation: the equipment is usually equipped with automated control systems to simplify the operation process, improve efficiency and reduce manual labor intensity.

Mobility: Some of the bagged bitumen melting plants are designed to be mobile, which facilitates quick transfer between different construction sites and adapts to the changing construction environment.

Equipment function

Heating and melting: the core function of the equipment is to heat the bagged bitumen to a molten state, usually through the heating coil or thermal oil system to achieve.

Stirring and mixing: In order to ensure the uniform melting of bitumen, the equipment is usually equipped with a mixing device, through the mixing shaft and mixing blade to mix the bitumen.

Conveying and pumping: The melted liquid bitumen needs to be conveyed by pumps to storage tanks or other use locations for the next step in the construction process.

Temperature control: The equipment has a built-in temperature control system, which can precisely control the melting temperature of the bitumen to ensure the quality and performance of the bitumen.

Equipment application

Bagged bitumen melting plants are widely used in road construction, bridge construction, airport runway maintenance, parking lot paving and other fields. They are the key equipment to ensure project quality and improve construction efficiency.

How to adjust the heating temperature of the bagged bitumen melting plant?

Adjusting the heating temperature of a plant usually involves the following steps:

Determine the target temperature: first, the desired bitumen melting temperature needs to be specified. This usually depends on the specific type of bitumen and the usage scenario.

Setting the heating unit: Depending on the target temperature, the temperature setting of the heating unit is adjusted.

Temperature monitoring: During the heating process, the temperature of the bitumen needs to be monitored in real time. This can be accomplished utilizing thermometric instruments such as probe-style thermometers or infrared temperature measurement devices.

Adjustment of heating power: According to the difference between the real-time temperature and the target temperature, the heating power of the heating device is adjusted at the right time. If the real-time temperature is lower than the target temperature, the heating power can be increased; if the real-time temperature is higher than the target temperature, the heating power can be reduced.

Continuous monitoring and adjustment: During the entire heating process, the temperature of the bitumen needs to be continuously monitored and adjusted as needed to ensure that the bitumen temperature is stabilized within the target temperature range.
