Asphalt Storage Tank

Product Introduction

Core Functions

1. Asphalt StorageIt provides sealed storage space for hot-mix asphalt or emulsified asphalt, preventing asphalt from being contaminated by impurities and reducing volatilization losses of light components. Tanks come in various capacities (ranging from tens of cubic meters to hundreds of cubic meters) to meet the needs of small-scale construction and large-scale mixing plants.
2. Heat Preservation & Temperature ControlEquipped with a heating system (commonly using thermal oil, electric heating, or direct-fired heating) and insulation layers (made of rock wool or polyurethane foam), it maintains the asphalt temperature within the optimal range of 130–160°C. This ensures that the asphalt remains in a fluid state, facilitating smooth pumping and discharge operations.
3. Safe DischargeConfigured with internal heating coils, discharge pumps, and pipelines, it enables quick and efficient transfer of asphalt to mixing equipment or transport vehicles. Some advanced models are equipped with automatic level gauges and temperature sensors for real-time monitoring of storage conditions.

Structural Characteristics

• Material: The inner tank is made of Q235 carbon steel or stainless steel to resist asphalt corrosion, while the outer layer is covered with insulation materials and a protective steel plate to reduce heat loss.
• Types: Divided into vertical and horizontal tanks according to installation form; vertical tanks save space and are suitable for fixed plants, while horizontal tanks are easy to transport and are widely used in mobile construction sites.
• Safety Devices: Equipped with pressure relief valves, breathing valves, and fire prevention devices to prevent safety hazards such as overpressure and combustion.
