Successful Project Case: Bitumen Melting and Storage System Delivered to South America

Ikhtisar

In 2025, Feiteng successfully delivered a complete bitumen melting and storage system to a leading road construction company in Amerika Selatan. This project demonstrates Feiteng’s strong capability in providing customized asphalt equipment solutions for tropical and high-humidity regions, ensuring reliable hot bitumen supply for large-scale infrastructure development.

Latar Belakang Proyek

The client, a major road contractor engaged in a national highway expansion program, required an integrated system capable of re-liquefying and storing bitumen efficiently. Traditional manual drum heating was causing uneven melting, energy waste, and high maintenance costs.

After technical evaluation and site consultation, Feiteng provided a YDLR Series Bitumen Drum Decanter combined with YZSL Double-Heating Bitumen Storage Tanks — a fully automatic solution designed for high efficiency, durability, and ease of operation.

Equipment Configuration

• YDLR-10 Bitumen Drum Decanter

  • Capacity: 10 tons/hour

  • Heating Source: Thermal oil circulation

  • Features: Automatic drum lifting, fast melting, clean decanting

• YDL Series Bitumen Storage Tanks

  • Capacity: 40–60 m³ each

  • Dual heating system (thermal oil + electric)

  • Equipped with thermal insulation and digital temperature control

    

• Thermal oil boiler system

  • Heat value: 1,000,000 Kcal

  • Integrated design with easy maintenance

  • Energy-saving and low emission

Together, this setup ensures continuous supply of high-quality liquid bitumen for asphalt mixing and paving, perfectly suited for long construction schedules in humid tropical environments.

Installation and Commissioning

Feiteng engineers provided remote guidance and on-site support during the installation phase.

Thanks to the desain modular, the entire system was assembled and commissioned in less than 10 days. The fully automated control system simplified operation and reduced labor costs.

During testing, the melting rate and bitumen output exceeded the customer’s expectations, confirming stable temperature control and excellent fuel efficiency.

Umpan Balik Pelanggan

The South American client highly praised the equipment’s performance, energy efficiency, and structural quality. They emphasized how Feiteng’s solution reduced downtime, improved material handling, and ensured consistent hot bitumen supply even in humid conditions.

The contractor plans to use Feiteng equipment in future urban expressway and airport runway projects.
