Tanques de almacenamiento de betún eficientes: La clave para una producción fiable de asfalto

Introducción

In modern road construction, bitumen is one of the most critical materials—used as the binding component in asphalt production. However, maintaining bitumen at the correct temperature and viscosity is a challenge that requires advanced storage solutions.

En Equipamiento vial Feiteng, we specialize in designing and manufacturing tanques de almacenamiento de betún that ensure stable performance, safety, and energy efficiency across all climate conditions. Whether for asphalt mixing plants or onsite road projects, the right tank plays a vital role in guaranteeing consistent paving quality.

1. Why Bitumen Storage Matters

Bitumen becomes too viscous when cold and degrades when overheated. Therefore, it must be stored under carefully controlled temperatures—typically between 140°C and 170°C. Poor temperature management leads to:

• Premature hardening or oxidation of bitumen

• Increased fuel consumption

• Product contamination

   

• Delayed asphalt production

A reliable bitumen storage system eliminates these issues by providing precise heating, insulation, and monitoring.

2. Types of Bitumen Storage Tanks

Feiteng Road Equipment offers multiple designs to meet different operational needs:

🔹 Direct Heating Bitumen Tanks

These tanks heat bitumen directly using diesel or gas burners. They provide fast heating and are ideal for projects with high daily consumption.

Features:

• Rapid heating speed

• Simple installation and operation

• Cost-effective for medium projects

🔹 Indirect Heating Bitumen Tanks (Hot Oil System)

These tanks use circulación de aceite térmico to heat bitumen evenly and safely. The system prevents local overheating and carbonization, extending the lifespan of the material.

Features:

• Uniform heat distribution

• Energy-saving with multi-layer insulation

• Suitable for long-term or continuous production

🔹 Self-Heating Bitumen Tanks

A combination of heating and storage functions—these tanks have built-in burners and thermal oil coils, offering plug-and-play convenience.

Features:

• Compact structure

• Easy transport and installation

• Fully automated control system

🔹 Container-Type Bitumen Tanks

Designed for easy mobility and export, these tanks can be loaded into standard shipping containers. Ideal for overseas contractors or temporary sites.

Features:

• Diseño modular

• Quick installation at project sites

• Compatible with different heating systems

3. Key Features of Feiteng Bitumen Storage Tanks

Each tank from Feiteng Road Equipment integrates advanced technology for maximum performance:

• Automatic Temperature Control: Real-time monitoring ensures precise heat management.

• Superior Insulation: Reduces heat loss and saves up to 30% energy.
