Key Benefits of Bitumen Tank Containers

1. High-Temperature Insulation:

They are equipped with advanced insulation to maintain the high temperatures needed to keep bitumen in a liquid state. Bitumen is stored and delivered at temperatures above 150ºC.

2. Heating Systems:

Specially designed burners can be attached to the tanks. Burners are sold separately. These tanks can store bitumen without significant quality degradation for extended periods. The burners ensure the material remains ready for use upon delivery – minimizing downtime.

3. Durability:

Made from robust materials like stainless steel, they can withstand extreme temperatures and corrosive environments.

4. Intermodal Capability:

Bitumen tank containers are compatible with ships, trains, and trucks – enabling safe and compliant transportation across various modes.
