Heated bitumen scales

What you gain

Accuracy that pays

A tenth of a point in bitumen content is tonnes of bitumen a year. High-precision load cells and weighing free from the thermal expansion of the structure.
The bitumen stays fluid

Double-wall vessel with continuous hot-oil flow from the plant's oil heater. If the plant has no oil heater, the scale comes with a built-in electric oil heater.
Discharge the way the mixer needs it

By gravity to the bitumen spray bars or with a bitumen pump, depending on the plant layout.
Part of the recipe

Connects to iAsphalt or any automation. Bitumen content per recipe is logged per batch and compared with the theoretical value.

How it works

01
Sizing

Batch size, mixer position, availability of an oil heater, discharge method. From that follow vessel size, heating and pump.
02
Manufacturing

Double-wall vessel, load cells, temperature sensor, valves or pump, tested in our workshop.
03
Fitting and calibration

Mounted above the mixer, connected to the oil circuit and the automation, calibrated with known weights, test batches.

FAQ

My plant has no oil heater. Can I still have a scale?

Yes. The scale is delivered with a built-in electric oil heater that heats the oil in the double wall on its own.

Gravity or pump?

If the scale can sit above the mixer, gravity discharge to the spray bars is simpler and has no moving parts. If not, a bitumen pump discharges at a controlled rate.

Does it replace another manufacturer's scale?

Yes. It is built to the dimensions and mounting of the existing one so the swap takes a day.
