About Bitumen Drum Decanter Plant
This automatic Bitumen Drum Decanter Plant is useful for reheating and melting of bitumen at 200 degree C temperature prior to its application on road surface. Made of mild steel, this decanter system comes with 4 TPH to 5 TPH production capacity range. This automatic plant has facility like automatic oil barrel reversing function for melting of bitumen. As its result, labor cost is saved which in turn reduces project cost. Internal circulation function of its bitumen pump improves heat transfer co-efficiency process which in turn boosts melting speed of bitumen. Offered Bitumen Drum Decanter Plant is also equipped with automatic slag removal arrangement. Its enclosed structure prevents environmental pollution.

FAQ's of Bitumen Drum Decanter Plant:
Q: How does the Bitumen Drum Decanter Plant operate during the bitumen melting process?
A: The plant uses either a thermic oil or hot air system to heat and melt bitumen from inside 200-liter drums placed in its decanting chamber. Hydraulically tilted drums facilitate complete extraction, and the process is automatically managed by a PLC-based control panel, ensuring consistent output temperatures between 120C and 160C.
Q: What types of fuel can be used to operate the heating system?
A: The plant can utilize diesel, LDO (light diesel oil), or furnace oil as fuel sources for the heating mechanism, offering flexibility based on local fuel availability and operational preferences.
Q: When should I consider using this decanter plant in my road construction project?
A: You should use this plant whenever you need to efficiently melt and decant bitumen from standard drums for large-scale paving or asphalt jobs, especially when a continuous and high-capacity supply of liquid bitumen is crucial to project timelines.
Q: Where can this drum decanter plant be installed, and is it suitable for remote locations?
A: Thanks to its skid-mounted and towable designs, the plant can be quickly deployed on various job sites, including remote or temporary project locations. Its compact footprint and durable build allow for installation in diverse environments, handling ambient temperatures from -10C to +50C.
Q: What benefits does this decanter plant provide over manual bitumen melting methods?
A: This automated system delivers higher decanting efficiency (up to 99%), lowers manual labor, reduces safety risks, and ensures minimal energy consumption. The continuous production capability directly supports project deadlines and helps maintain consistent quality for road construction.
Q: How easy is it to maintain the Bitumen Drum Decanter Plant?
A: The plant is engineered for low maintenance, featuring easily accessible components and anti-corrosive paint coatings. Routine maintenance is straightforward, minimizing downtime and operational costs.
Q: What safety and environmental features are included in the plant?
A: The system is equipped with over-temperature protection and emergency shut-off mechanisms. It maintains a noise level below 75 dB(A) and is compliant with local pollution control standards, ensuring safe and environmentally sound operation.
