Being the preferred type of tank storage in locations where site area is at a premium the tanks are usually electrically heated. The bitumen temperature and tank content levels can be continually monitored, adjusted and operated from the remote asphalt plant control function and in keeping with the latest health and safety regulations, alarm warnings for high temperature and overfill functions are now installed as standard.
- Tank capacities from 30 to 150 m³ are available.
- Vertical storage can be configured with different levels of insulation, tank maintenance access, stirrers and agitation equipment are just a few of the options available.
- To reduce ever increasing energy costs, a range of electrically heated high efficiency vertical tanks are available conforming to RBA best practice design which include no less than 300mm thickness of insulation with energy consumption further minimized by the use of progressive heating control.
