Bitumen Drum Decanter
High-Efficiency Bitumen Drum Melting Solution for Global Projects
The Comix Bitumen Drum Decanter is a high-efficiency, reliable, and productive unit designed to reheat and melt bitumen packed in steel drums. Engineered for continuous operation, this system offers the most economical and pollution-free method for converting solid bitumen into liquid form for immediate use or storage.
Designed to meet international operational and environmental standards, Comix decanters are ideal for asphalt plants, bitumen binder production units, and infrastructure projects across domestic and international markets.
WHAT IS A BITUMEN DRUM DECANTER?
A Bitumen Drum Decanter, also known as a Bitumen Drum Melting Unit, is used to melt solid bitumen supplied in steel drums and convert it into liquid bitumen using hot thermic oil heating technology. The melted bitumen is automatically transferred to bulk storage tanks for further use. This system is essential in regions where hot liquid bitumen supply through tankers is not feasible, making drum-packed bitumen the preferred logistics solution.

BITUMEN DRUM DECANTER WORKING PROCESS
Steel drums loading
Steel drums filled with bitumen are loaded onto the system using hydraulic lifters, ensuring safe, controlled, and efficient handling.
Entry into heating chamber
The drums are conveyed into a fully insulated heating chamber designed to minimize heat loss and improve energy efficiency.
Indirect heating process
Bitumen inside the drums is melted using an indirect thermic oil heating system, allowing uniform heating without direct flame contact.
Molten bitumen collection
As the bitumen liquefies, it flows naturally into a bottom-mounted reservoir for continuous collection.
Transfer to bulk storage
The molten bitumen is automatically transferred from the reservoir into a bulk storage tank, ensuring uninterrupted downstream operations.
Empty drum ejection
Once fully emptied, the steel drums are cleanly ejected from the rear end of the system for easy removal or reuse.
Continuous operation
This automated and continuous cycle ensures high productivity, consistent output quality, and reliable operational performance.
Integration
The Comix Bitumen Drum Decanter is designed to connect effortlessly with related processing, heating, and storage systems, enabling reliable and continuous bitumen handling within diverse plant configurations.
