Bitumen Sprayer

Product Description

A Truck Mounted Bitumen Sprayer is a piece of road construction equipment used to uniformly spray hot bitumen (asphalt) on road surfaces before laying asphalt mix. It ensures proper adhesion between the road layers, which is crucial for the longevity and stability of the pavement.

Key Components:

1. Bitumen Tank: Insulated and often equipped with a heating system (burner or electric) to keep the bitumen at the desired spraying temperature.

2. Spray Bar: Mounted at the rear with adjustable nozzles for uniform coverage. Often pneumatically or hydraulically operated.

3. Pump and Engine: A bitumen pump (typically gear or rotary) powered by a diesel engine or PTO (Power Take-Off) from the truck.

4. Burner Unit: Heats the bitumen to the appropriate spraying temperature (usually 150180C).

5. Control Panel: Operator interface to manage spray pressure, flow rate, temperature, and bar width.

6. Cleaning System: To flush bitumen lines with diesel after use to prevent clogging.

Advantages of a Truck Mounted Sprayer:

• Mobility: Mounted on a truck chassis for easy movement between job sites.

• Efficiency: Faster and more uniform bitumen application compared to manual methods.

• Automation: Many models offer automated controls for spray pressure and width.

Applications:

• Prime coat and tack coat application before asphalt laying

• Surface dressing of roads

• Bitumen sealing on rural roads and highways
