    Working Principle

    1

    Solid bitumen is added from the top.

    2

    Electric heating elements directly heat, local rapid melting.

    3

    Solid blocks are immersed in liquid bitumen to accelerate melting (heat conduction + convection).

    4

    Temperature control system maintains 140–180℃.

    5

    Liquid bitumen is discharged by the lower discharge pump.

    6

    Impurities settle at the bottom and are regularly discharged.
