ASPHALT MELTING APPARATUS AND METHOD

摘要

An asphalt melting apparatus, in particular an asphalt melting apparatus used in the carbon or metallurgy industry, comprises an asphalt melting vessel (12), a manual asphalt valve (2), an asphalt filter (3) and an asphalt pump (4). The inlet of the asphalt melting vessel (12) is connected with a discharge port of a bucket conveyer (9). The asphalt melting vessel (12) communicates with a buffer vessel (13) and the buffer vessel (13) is connected with the asphalt pump (4). The apparatus has following advantages: the energy could be used efficiently and the melting rate could be raised; the automation of the whole melting process can be easilyrealized, cleaning and maintenance is convenient and labor intensity of workers could be reduced; the solid asphalt feed uses seal structure and the content of dust in workshop is low; asphalt fume is concentrated at the top of the asphalt melting vessel (12) and can be collected conveniently and centralized processed by a purifier.
