500m³ Vertical Bitumen Tank | High-Capacity Storage for Asphalt Plants

Introduction When planning a new asphalt batching plant or upgrading a terminal, the bitumen storage system becomes the heart of your operation. For capacities exceeding 500 tons, standard containerized tanks are no longer sufficient—you need an infrastructure-grade solution. However, not all large vertical tanks are created equal. Many bolted silos on the market suffer from leakage issues, while thin-walled tanks…

Feiteng’s Advanced Bitumen Drum Melters: Asphalt Decanting Systems for Southeast Asia

In Southeast Asia’s hot, humid climate, road crews need reliable equipment to keep asphalt mixers supplied with high-quality binder. A bitumen melting machine (drum melter or “asphalt decanting plant”) heats solid asphalt so that liquid bitumen can be pumped out for paving. Precise heating is critical – without it, pavement can crack or erode quickly. Feiteng’s thermal-oil melting systems meet…
