Asfaltanläggningstank

Asfaltanläggningstank refers to a storage tank specifically designed for asphalt, also known as bitumen. These tanks are crucial components in the asphalt production and paving industry, enabling the storage of hot asphalt before it is transported to a construction site or used in an asphalt mixing plant. The primary function of an asfaltanläggningstank is to maintain asphalt at a specific, elevated temperature to keep it in a liquid, workable state. This requires robust insulation and a heating system, typically using thermal oil or electric heating elements.

The design of an asfaltanläggningstank varies depending on its intended use and capacity. They are often cylindrical, made from steel, and equipped with features like heating coils, level indicators, and access manholes. Safety is a paramount concern, and these tanks are engineered to withstand the high temperatures and pressures associated with hot asphalt storage. Regular maintenance, including inspections for leaks and corrosion, is essential for their safe and efficient operation. Asfaltanläggningstankar are available in various sizes, from smaller mobile units for temporary sites to large, permanent installations at asphalt mixing facilities.
