    Description

    ​Technical Advantages​

    1. ​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%.
    2. ​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.
    3. ​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.
    4. ​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.
