Technical Advantages
-
Intelligent Heating System
- Dual-Layer Thermal Oil Circulation: Upper drum melting chamber (radiant heating) + lower melting pool (convection heating), precise temperature control at 110-140°C to prevent asphalt aging.
- Waste Heat Recovery (Optional): Reuse exhaust heat from thermal oil boilers, reducing energy consumption by 20-30%.
-
End-to-End Automation
- Automatic Drum Recognition & Tipping: Hydraulic pusher with 180° flipping accuracy ensures downward-facing drum positioning and zero leakage.
- Unmanned Operation: Integrated PLC control system monitors temperature, pressure, and flow in real-time, with automatic fault alerts.
-
Eco-Friendly & Safety Design
- Closed Dust-Free Structure: Spring-sealed doors + drip trays reduce VOC emissions by 95%.
- Triple Safety Protections: Over-temperature shutdown, hydraulic overload protection, and explosion-proof electrical components.
-
Flexibility & Adaptability
- Modular Design: Adjustable guide rail width and heating coil spacing for diverse drum specifications.
- Rapid Relocation: Split-body structure allows on-site assembly in ≤8 hours.
Efficient & Automated Bitumen Melting
With the increasing demand for high-performance bitumen in road construction, the ZDLT Series Bitumen Drum Melting Machine provides a fast, clean, and automated solution. It uses thermal oil heating for indirect heat transfer, ensuring uniform melting without asphalt aging.
Equipment Structure & Working Principle
The machine consists of:
- Upper Chamber (Dumping Room) – Equipped with heating coils for direct radiation heating of bitumen drums.
- Lower Chamber (Melting Pool) – Continues heating to 110-140°C for optimal pumping consistency.
- Automatic Spring Doors – Minimize heat loss while allowing smooth drum entry/exit.
- Hydraulic Propulsion System – Automatically pushes drums into the melting chamber.
- Automatic Drum Turner – Patented flipping technology ensures quick, labor-free operation.
- Slag Removal System – Built-in filtration removes impurities for clean output.
