Efficient, Clean Drum Emptying

The Atlas Bitumen Drum Decanter is a robust, high-performance system designed for the complete and efficient emptying of bitumen drums. The decanter uses a thermic fluid heating system to uniformly heat the drum, reducing the viscosity of the bitumen and allowing for rapid and complete drainage. The tilting mechanism ensures that every last drop is recovered, minimizing waste and maximizing material utilization.

The enclosed design with vapor extraction ensures a safe, clean working environment, protecting operators from fumes and spills. The decanter is constructed from heavy-duty steel with a corrosion-resistant coating, ensuring long-term durability even in demanding industrial environments. Optional PLC control allows for automated cycle operation and integration with plant management systems.

How many drums can the decanter handle per cycle?expand_more

The decanter is available in models that handle 1, 2, 3, or 5 drums (200L) per cycle, depending on your production requirements and drum handling frequency.

What is the typical drum heating time?expand_more

Heating time varies from 15 to 45 minutes depending on the drum size, material type, and ambient temperature. The thermic fluid heating system ensures rapid and uniform heat transfer.

Can the decanter handle polymer-modified bitumen drums?expand_more

Yes, the decanter is suitable for polymer-modified bitumen (PMB) and other modified materials. The higher viscosity may require slightly longer heating times, which can be adjusted via the temperature control system.

Is the decanter available with automated controls?expand_more

Yes, the decanter can be equipped with a PLC-based control system for automated cycle operation, including heating, tilting, and drainage control.
