With the continuous expansion of Southeast Asia’s infrastructure industry, Vietnam’s road maintenance, municipal highway and pavement renovation projects are increasing year by year, and bag bitumen melting machine has become an indispensable core supporting equipment in the local asphalt construction system. However, traditional bitumen melting equipment generally has industry pain points such as non-standard size, high cost of ocean shipping, inconvenient site transfer, low thermal efficiency and excessive construction pollution, which restrict the construction efficiency and comprehensive economic benefit of Vietnam engineering enterprises for a long time. In order to accurately solve the core demands of overseas customers for cross-border logistics, site iteration and continuous production, ZOOMLINE successfully completed the customization and landing of ZAM-8 type 8-10TPH bitumen melting machine for jumbo bag by virtue of years of experience in asphalt complete equipment research and development and overseas project landing. The equipment was officially put into stable operation in Vietnam in June 2023. The equipment has stable production capacity and strong adaptability, and can provide lightweight, transportable, low-cost and standardized professional melting solutions for overseas asphalt construction in Southeast Asia.

The Vietnam customers of this cooperation have been deeply engaged in local municipal infrastructure and road engineering for many years. In the process of long-term application of traditional bagged Bitumen melting machine, they face many common problems in the industry, mainly focusing on four core dimensions: cross-border logistics, equipment operation and maintenance, capacity output and on-site construction:
The traditional bagged bitumen melting machine has no standardized shape size planning, the overall structure is messy, the space occupation rate is large, and it cannot adapt to the international general 40-foot high container loading standard. Equipment going to sea can only be transported in bulk or loaded in excess containers, which greatly increases cross-border logistics expenses and directly drives up the overall operating costs of enterprise equipment procurement and projects.
The upper lifting supports of conventional bitumen melting systems on the market mostly adopt an integral welding and fixing process, and the structure is integrated and cannot be disassembled. In view of the industry characteristics of scattered construction sites, multi-point rotation construction and cross-regional operation in Vietnam, it is difficult to disassemble and transfer equipment after completion, and it can only be stored idle in situ. The utilization rate of fixed assets is extremely low, resulting in serious waste of equipment resources.
The old bitumen bag decanter has extensive heating mode, low heat conduction efficiency, slow melting speed, uneven heating of asphalt, incomplete melting and other problems, and cannot continuously output liquid bitumen with constant temperature and standard, which is difficult to meet the needs of large-scale and continuous road construction, which is easy to lead to project period lag and construction quality substandard.
Traditional high-capacity jumbo bag bitumen melting machine equipment operation process is complicated, requiring a large number of manual auxiliary operations, with high labor intensity and high labor cost; meanwhile, the sealing structure of equipment is imperfect, asphalt volatilization and material leakage occur frequently, which not only causes raw material loss, but also fails to meet the environmental protection specifications of local green construction in Vietnam, resulting in clear compliance risks.
In combination with the pain points of on-site construction and the long-term development planning of the enterprise, the Vietnam customer has formulated clear and bitumen melting equipment selection standards to achieve accurate correspondence between pain points and requirements, providing core basis for equipment customization and upgrading:
In order to adapt to batch and continuous road construction scenarios, customers require that the equipment can maintain a melting capacity of 8-10 tons/hour for a long time, ensure the continuous supply of asphalt raw materials, and completely avoid the problem of delay caused by capacity gap.
In order to reduce the comprehensive cost of cross-border logistics, the customer clearly requires the overall size of the decanter bitumen melting systems equipment to strictly align with the international standard of 40HQ high container, support the direct assembly of standard containers to sea, and minimize the cost of ocean transportation without customizing special transportation schemes.
In view of the industrial characteristics of multi-project and cross-regional construction in Vietnam, customers require that the equipment has the structural advantages of rapid disassembly and convenient assembly. The lifting support can be disassembled and reassembled flexibly to meet the use requirements of multiple transitions and repeated reuse, and effectively improve the return rate of equipment assets.
Priority shall be given to the selection of new asphalt debagging equipment with high heat efficiency, low energy consumption and low pollution, simplifying manual operation process, reducing operation and maintenance cost, conforming to local environmental protection construction standards of Vietnam at the same time, and realizing two-way unification of efficient production, cost reduction and efficiency improvement and compliance operation.
Deeply conforming to all construction pain points and customization requirements of Vietnam customers, ZOOMLINE breaks through the design limitations of traditional bitumen melting machine for bagged bitumen, structurally optimizes and upgrades ZAM-8 bag bitumen melting machine asphalt decanter, creates customized solutions dedicated to Southeast Asian ocean transportation and flexible operation at multiple construction sites, and leads the industry with core differentiation advantages:

The equipment layout is regular and the space utilization rate is maximized. It can directly realize standard container assembly to sea, solve the pain points of difficult sea transportation, high freight and long transportation cycle of traditional non-standard equipment from the root cause, and greatly reduce the cross-border logistics cost of customers.
All lifting supports on the upper part of asphalt melting bag removal equipment abandon traditional integrated welding technology, and all adopt modular fixed connection with high strength bolts to support rapid disassembly and convenient reorganization without professional equipment and complex construction procedures. The detachable structure accurately adapts to the geographical characteristics of scattered construction sites and frequent cross-site construction in Vietnam, perfectly adapts to ocean cross-border transportation and multi-project recycling scenarios, and thoroughly solves the industrial problems of poor mobility and idle waste of traditional equipment.
The bitumen decanter machine is equipped with an efficient closed-loop heat transfer oil heating system, equipped with an intensive heating pipeline, and adopts a segmented precision temperature control melting process.
Firstly, the solid bagged asphalt is uniformly preheated and melted, and then the temperature is raised at constant temperature for the second time through the strengthened pipeline, so as to ensure that the asphalt quickly meets the standard, stable pumping, accurate temperature control in the whole process, uniform heating, high melting efficiency, uniform and stable quality of finished asphalt, and fully meet the continuous and large-scale construction requirements.
The bag bitumen melting machine optimizes the operation logic of the whole machine, simplifies redundant manual process, greatly reduces operation intensity and labor input; with the fully enclosed heating chamber structure, effectively suppresses asphalt volatilization and material leakage, reduces raw material loss and site pollution, fully conforms to the local environmental protection construction specifications of Vietnam, and realizes all-round energization of energy saving, cost reduction, efficient production and green construction.
