China Suppliers Factory Insulated Asphalt Storage Tank for Long-Term High-Temperature Liquid Asphalt Storage
Main Functions
Large Storage Capacity
Meets the continuous production requirements, avoiding frequent feeding and melting, and ensuring the continuity of production.
Constant Temperature & Insulation
Maintains the asphalt at the flowing temperature (generally 130-180℃), preventing cooling and solidification.
Sedimentation & Impurity Removal
The asphalt remains in the tank for a long time, and mechanical impurities and coke powder naturally settle at the bottom of the tank.
Transfer & Buffering
Connects the upstream melting equipment with the downstream production process, playing a role in regulating and stabilizing the supply.
Structural Characteristics
Robust Steel Structure
The tanks are mostly in vertical or horizontal cylindrical shapes made of steel, with volumes ranging from several tens to several thousand cubic meters.
Internal Heating System
Equipped with heat transfer oil coils / steam coils inside. Some small tanks use electric heating to ensure uniform overall temperature.
High-Efficiency Insulation
The outer wall of the insulation layer is wrapped with insulation materials such as rock wool and glass wool, covered with color steel or galvanized iron sheets to reduce heat loss.
Working Method
The high-temperature liquid asphalt is sent into the tank by the asphalt melting device or the unloading device.
The coil pipe continuously heats up, keeping the asphalt in the tank at a constant temperature and in a flowable state.
During production, the asphalt is extracted from the bottom of the tank by the asphalt pump, passes through the filter and heater, and is sent to the process.
Impurities deposit at the bottom of the tank and are regularly cleaned through the sewage outlet.
