Solid Asphalt Electric Melting Device
Core Function
Directly melt solid asphalt: Block / Barrel-packed cold asphalt → Pumpable liquid.
Temperature control and insulation: Precise temperature control to prevent asphalt aging and coking.
Environmentally friendly and safe: No open flame, no smoke, no thermal oil / steam system.
Fast feeding: Continuous discharge, used with buffer tank and filter.
Typical Structure
Tank body: Vertical cylinder, carbon steel + insulation layer (rock wool / silicagel)
Electric heating elements
Built-in heating rods / electric heating tubes (stainless steel, far-infrared)
Bottom / side wall heating plates / heating jackets
Heating cables (auxiliary insulation)
Internal divisions
Feeding area: Solid asphalt input
Melting area: Main heating for melting
Insulation area: Melted asphalt at constant temperature
Sludge area: Bottom slag discharge Attachment
Feed port, discharge port, sewage port
Level gauge, thermometer, temperature control cabinet
Explosion-proof electrical equipment, overheat protection
Stirring (optional): Accelerates melting
Working Principle
Solid bitumen is added from the top.
Electric heating elements directly heat, local rapid melting.
Solid blocks are immersed in liquid bitumen to accelerate melting (heat conduction + convection).
Temperature control system maintains 140–180℃.
Liquid bitumen is discharged by the lower discharge pump.
Impurities settle at the bottom and are regularly discharged.
Main Types
Box type / Small electric melting unit
Capacity: 0.5–5m³
Suitable for: On-site construction, small batch, mobile
Vertical continuous electric melting tank
Capacity: 5–20m³
Suitable for: Carbon, waterproof, continuous production at mixing station
Electric heating drum separator
Special for melting 200L standard drum bitumen
With drum frame, automatic drum separation, rapid melting
Advantages (compared to thermal oil / steam)
System simple: no boiler, no circulation, no pipelines
Installation fast: plug in and use
Temperature control precise: ±5℃, bitumen is less prone to aging
Environmentally friendly and clean: no smoke, no leakage, low noise
Safe: explosion-proof, overheat protection, no open flame
Maintenance low: no oil pump, valves, cleaning
Application Scenarios
Carbon factory (pre-baked anode, electrode paste)
Waterproof sheet, coating
Road construction site
Modified asphalt, emulsified asphalt small line
Bitumen warehouse, small batch supply
Difference from thermal oil melting units
Electric heating: electricity, simple structure, good temperature control, small to medium capacity, clean
Thermal oil: complex system, large capacity, suitable for continuous long-term production
