Containerized Bitumen Decanters: Save on Shipping & Installation | Feiteng

Introducción

For international road contractors, buying the equipment is only half the battle. The real challenge often begins after the order is placed: logistics.

Shipping oversized bitumen decanters or storage tanks via break bulk or flat rack can be extremely expensive—sometimes costing as much as the equipment itself. Once the machinery arrives on site, contractors still face concrete foundations, large cranes, and long installation schedules.

At BitumenMachine.com (Feiteng Road Construction Equipment), we engineer our systems with logistics efficiency in mind. Below is why smart contractors increasingly choose containerized bitumen equipment to protect their budgets and timelines.

1. The “Freight Trap”: Flat Rack vs. 40HQ Container

Conventional bitumen equipment is often welded as a single oversized unit. As a result, many suppliers require Open Top or Flat Rack containers for shipment.

The Cost Problem:

• Flat Rack shipping rates are typically 2–3 times higher than standard container freight
• Higher risk of damage during ocean transport
• Limited container availability and longer booking cycles

La solución Feiteng:
Feiteng YDST and YDLR Series are engineered to fit entirely inside a standard 40ft High Cube (40HQ) container. The melting chamber, heating system, and hoist are all modularized and optimized for container loading.

The Result:YDLR
You pay standard container freight rates. For projects in Africa or South America, this can save USD 3,000–5,000 per shipment.

2. “Plug-and-Play” Mobilization

In remote road construction projects, time is money. Spending weeks on-site assembling equipment is simply not an option.

Traditional Installation Method:

• Dedicated concrete foundations
• On-site pipe welding and insulation
• Separate electrical wiring and commissioning
• Installation time: 1–2 weeks

Feiteng Containerized Method:
Our equipment is built on a rigid integrated steel frame that acts as its own foundation.

• No concrete required — only level and compacted ground
• Pre-piped and pre-wired in the factory
• Fully tested before shipment

Setup Time:
Typically 1–2 days, requiring only power connection and bitumen outlet hookup.

3. Asset Protection & Resale Value

Road construction projects are temporary, but your investment should remain flexible.

Enhanced Protection:

• Enclosed container structure shields heating coils and insulation
• Reduced exposure to weather, theft, and transport damage

High Mobility:

• Easy disassembly and relocation to the next job site
• Ideal for contractors operating across multiple regions

Stronger Resale Value:
Compared to stationary, welded-in-place plants, containerized systems retain higher resale value due to portability and ease of transport.

Conclusión

When you choose Feiteng, you are not just buying a 10-ton/hour bitumen melting capacity—you are investing in a logistical advantage.

By eliminating flat rack shipping, shortening installation time, and improving mobility, Feiteng’s containerized bitumen equipment helps contractors protect profit margins from unnecessary logistics costs.

Don’t let ocean freight and installation delays eat into your profits.
Choose equipment designed to fit your budget, schedule, and shipping container.
