اختيار صهريج تخزين البيتومين المناسب لمشروع بناء الطرق الخاص بك

مقدمة

In the ever-evolving world of road construction, choosing the right صهريج تخزين البيتومين is critical to ensuring project efficiency, asphalt quality, and long-term cost savings. Whether you’re constructing highways in Uganda, airport runways in Southeast Asia, or municipal roads in the Middle East, the right asphalt storage tank can make all the difference.

As a leading manufacturer of bitumen equipment since 2005, Dezhou Feiteng Road Construction Equipment Co. specializes in high-performance bitumen tanks designed to meet the complex needs of global contractors. In this blog, we’ll guide you through the types, features, and selection tips for bitumen storage solutions—helping you make the right investment for your business.

Why Bitumen Storage Matters

Bitumen, also known as asphalt, is a temperature-sensitive material. To maintain its performance properties, it must be stored in a controlled environment at temperatures ranging between 120°C–180°C. Poor storage can result in:

• Bitumen degradation

• Heat loss and fuel waste

• Operational downtime

• Safety hazards

That’s why selecting a high-quality bitumen tank with an advanced heating system is not a luxury—but a necessity.

Types of Bitumen Storage Tanks

At Feiteng, we offer several types of صهاريج تخزين البيتومين, each engineered for specific project needs:

1. Horizontal Bitumen Storage Tank

• Design: Cylindrical tank mounted horizontally

• السعة: Ranges from 10 to 50 tons

• Heating: Thermal oil coils or electric heating

• التطبيق: Fixed installations at asphalt mixing plants or terminals

2. Vertical Bitumen Storage Tank

• Design: Space-saving, ideal for limited ground area

• السعة: 20 to 100 tons

• Feature: Better thermal stratification and efficient vertical circulation

• Ideal For: Urban road construction sites and batching stations

3. Thermal Oil Heated Bitumen Tank

• Function: Uses a غلاية الزيت الحراري system for indirect heating

• Benefits: Uniform heating, better temperature control, reduced bitumen oxidation

• Best For: High-volume or continuous bitumen applications

4. Mobile Bitumen Tank with Burner

• Mobility: Trailer-mounted for easy site-to-site transfer

• Heating: Built-in diesel burner or gas burner

• Perfect For: Temporary projects and mobile asphalt plants

Key Features to Look For

When selecting your asphalt storage tank, consider the following critical features:

✅ Effective Insulation

Mineral wool or rock wool insulation helps maintain temperature and reduce energy loss.

✅ Automatic Temperature Control System

Smart temperature controllers ensure safe, consistent operation without manual supervision.

✅ Durable Inner Tank Material

Corrosion-resistant steel, such as Q235 or 304 stainless steel, prolongs lifespan.

✅ Advanced Heating System

Indirect heating via thermal oil circulation prevents bitumen from overheating or burning.

✅ Agitation System (Optional)

Keeps modified bitumen or emulsified bitumen uniformly mixed, avoiding stratification.

Real Project Application: Uganda Highway Project

In one of our recent projects in Uganda, the customer needed a bitumen tank system that could store and heat 50 tons of liquid asphalt efficiently. Our solution included:

• 2 sets of YZSL Series Bitumen Storage Tanks (50T, with double heating system)

• Integrated غلاية الزيت الحراري

• Digital control system for fully automatic operation

The result? The contractor saved over 25% in fuel consumption and significantly reduced downtime, thanks to reliable temperature control and minimal maintenance.
