Product Description
We are manufacturing Bitumen Decanter which is robust and rigid heavy structure made from standard steel. There are two parts in unit, upper part is called the heating chamber and lower part is the storage tan for melt bitumen. Heating chamber and storage tank is fully insulated with 75 mm rock wool. Use of hot coils to indirectly heat up asphalt can prevent asphalt quantity from aging during heating. Seamless tubes are used for heating unit which are 2.9 mm thick and tested at 2000 psi.
A bitumen drum decanter, otherwise called a bitumen tapping machine or bitumen dissolving machine, is a specific gear utilized for softening and emptying bitumen from drums or barrels. It is usually utilized in street development ventures and black-top plants where strong bitumen should be changed over into a fluid structure for additional utilization. Bitumen drum decanters give a helpful and productive answer for dissolving and tapping strong bitumen, empowering its utilization in different street development and black-top related applications.

FAQs of Bitumen Decanter:
Q: How does the Bitumen Decanter operate for melting bitumen drums?
A: The Bitumen Decanter uses a coil-type thermic oil heater to efficiently melt bitumen inside drums. Drums are loaded manually or hydraulically onto the platform, and the bitumen is melted at temperatures up to 180C. The melted bitumen is then pumped out using a 2.2 kW pump at a capacity of 5.5 m3/h.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this Bitumen Decanter?
A: This decanter delivers high melting rates (up to 7 tons/hour), energy-efficient operation through advanced insulation, and ease of use with semi-automatic controls and hydraulic drum handling. Its robust construction ensures durability, while the air-cooled system maintains safe operation and low noise levels.
Q: Where is the Bitumen Decanter best utilized?
A: The decanter is ideal for road construction sites, asphalt mixing plants, and any location requiring rapid, reliable bitumen melting. Its skid-mounted design and standard dimensions facilitate installation and mobility according to site requirements.
Q: What is the process of loading and unloading bitumen drums into the decanter?
A: Drums can be loaded either manually or using the hydraulic system. The included drum trolley aids in positioning drums onto the hopper, which accommodates two drums at a time. Unloading of empty drums is also streamlined through hydraulic mechanisms for safe and efficient handling.
Q: When is maintenance required for the Bitumen Decanter?
A: Routine maintenance should be performed according to the manufacturers schedule, focusing on the heating system, pump, insulation, and control panel. Regular checks help preserve melting efficiency and operational safety.
Q: How does the fully automatic control panel enhance usability?
A: The control panel provides automatic system management, displaying operational parameters and system status. It helps users monitor temperature, pump operation, and heating cycles, ensuring consistent and safe performance with minimal manual intervention.
Q: What type of fuel and power sources are compatible with this equipment?
A: The Bitumen Decanter is versatile, operating with either diesel or electric power. This flexibility allows adaptation to different site energy supplies and ensures continuous operation, even in remote locations.
