Now we bring additional expertise from the established and well respected Cartem brand of products to the lineup of equipment on offer. An extensive list of both vertical and horizontal tanks, heated either electrically or by hot oil circulation, are available with a variety of options.
Vertical Storage Tanks
Being the preferred type of tank storage in locations where site area is at a premium the tanks are usually electrically heated The bitumen temperature and tank content levels can be continually monitored, adjusted and operated from the remote asphalt plant control function and in keeping with the latest health and safety regulations, alarm warnings for high temperature and overfill functions are now installed as standard.
