Bitumen Storage Tanks
for Asphalt Mixing Plants
Barreled bitumen can be stored directly with no special requirements, though it is necessary to melt the bitumen and store it in a special tank designed for bitumen in order to prevent the asphalt from cooling and solidifying.
Bitumen storage tanks have different specifications. The storage tank number and capacity are determined by site, production capacity, capital and other factors. Xuetao provides special storage tanks for modified asphalt, and customers can request the capacity of each tank be customized according to their actual needs.
-
- Large Scale Bitumen Storage Silo
The large scale bitumen storage silo has a large storage capacity is used to heat and store bitumen. The storage capacity of each tank is 100t-5000t, and the large scale bitumen silo also uses a thermal oil heater to heat the bitumen layer by layer. This effectively quickly heats the bitumen, and ensures the bitumen's performance.

- Horizontal Bitumen Storage Tank
Storage tanks without a mixing shaft are used to store and heat ordinary asphalt, while those that do have a mixing shaft are used to store special asphalt types, such as emulsified asphalt and modified asphalt, which need to be constantly stirred in order to avoid separation.
-
- Vertical Bitumen Storage Tank
The escalator on the tank body and rails on the tank top ensures a safe operation and easy maintenance. We have designed reasonable pipeline, valve and pump layouts for our customers. The tank is equipped with a thermometer and a liquid level gauge, which can control the asphalt temperature and prevent overflow.
Here at Wuxi Xuetao Group we provide our customers with outstanding asphalt processing equipment. We began as a specialized producer of asphalt mixers and now we manufacture fully equipped asphalt plants, polymer modified bitumen plants, asphalt emulsion plants, hot asphalt recycling systems, bitumen melters, thermal oil heaters, and bitumen storage tanks.
