🛠️ Operation & Specifications
How to Load Asphalt into an Asphalt Tanker Trailer？
Loading asphalt into an asphalt tanker trailer requires careful handling to ensure both operational efficiency and safety. To begin with, the trailer should be positioned on a level surface near the asphalt mixing station. This stable setup helps prevent spills or tipping during loading. After that, operators connect the trailer’s inlet to the asphalt discharge pipe using high-temperature-resistant hoses.
Once the connection is securely in place, the pump can be activated, or alternatively, gravity-fed loading may be employed depending on the system design. Throughout the process, it is crucial to monitor temperature and flow rate carefully in order to avoid overheating or overfilling. When the tank reaches the desired level, operators must ensure all valves are tightly closed before disconnecting the hoses.
Finally, conducting a thorough inspection of the pressure system and safety vents is necessary to confirm that the trailer is ready for transport. By following these steps diligently, operators can guarantee a safe and efficient loading process while maintaining ideal transport conditions.
