ZOOMLINE successfully signed an order with a Russian client

Country: Russia

Transaction Date: March 2026

Product: Bag Bitumen Melting Equipment

Model: ZAM-6G

With the continued growth in global infrastructure construction and road maintenance needs, Russia—as a key transportation hub on the Eurasian continent—has seen its market for asphalt supply and processing equipment remain vibrant in recent years. In particular, during the first half of 2026, following the onset of large-scale road construction in the spring after the harsh winter, numerous Russian engineering contractors and asphalt processing companies urgently required efficient and reliable ton-bag asphalt de-bagging and melting equipment to boost production efficiency and reduce labor and energy costs. Against this backdrop, Henan ZOOMLINE Machinery Co., Ltd. successfully seized the opportunity and concluded a major deal with a Russian client in March 2026, exporting a ZAM-6G Bag Bitumen Melting Equipment. This transaction marks a further breakthrough for ZOOMLINE’s domestically produced high-end asphalt melting equipment in the Russian market and demonstrates the competitiveness of China’s smart manufacturing technology in demanding international environments. The equipment will help the Russian client optimize the melting process for ton-bag packaged asphalt, accelerate overall project progress, and achieve energy-saving and environmental protection goals.

The ZAM-6G Bag Bitumen Melting Equipment is a high-performance melting solution specifically developed by ZOOMLINE for ton-bag packaged asphalt. The unit employs indirect heating via thermal oil or heat pipes to safely and efficiently convert solid asphalt into liquid form, making it suitable for processing ton-bag asphalt of various penetration grades. The core process involves cutting open the outer layer at the bottom of the ton-bag, placing the asphalt on a heated grate for melting, directing the molten asphalt into a bottom storage tank for temporary holding, and finally pumping it into an asphalt tank. The equipment features a modular design and a closed-loop production system to conserve energy and minimize pollution. It is equipped with an automatic control system and an international-brand burner to ensure precise temperature monitoring. The ZAM-6G model has a melting capacity of 6–8 t/h, an asphalt storage volume of approximately 17 m³, a thermal oil furnace power of 800,000 kcal/h, and an asphalt discharge temperature controlled between 120–140°C, with a total power of 37 kW, fully meeting the asphalt processing needs of medium to large-scale operations.

Asphalt melting is the process of heating solid asphalt to 100–200°C to convert it into a liquid state. This process takes place in specialized equipment (asphalt melting units) using thermal oil or heat pipes for heating. Solid asphalt from drums or ton bags is melted on the coils, and the melted asphalt flows into the bottom storage tank for temporary storage.

The ton-bag asphalt packaging process utilizes the asphalt’s viscoelasticity to solidify it, after which it is loaded into specially designed ton-bags to make it suitable for transport. The inner layer of the bag consists of a meltable polyethylene plastic film. After filling with asphalt, the asphalt solidifies inside the ton-bag and is then transported to the site of use by forklift. To melt the asphalt, the outer layer of the ton-bag is cut open at the bottom, and the asphalt is placed in a high-performance furnace for melting. All these operations are performed within the ton-bag asphalt melting unit. Once the asphalt reaches the required temperature, it is pumped into an asphalt tank.

Advantages:
1.This equipment can melt ton-bag packaged asphalt with varying penetration grades.
2.Melting capacity can be increased by expanding the tank volume.
3.A specially designed thermal oil heating grid on the loading door enhances the equipment’s efficiency.
4.Dual mechanical and electronic controls ensure the safety of temperature, weight, and pressure readings.
5.Intelligent control system for easy operation.
6.Compared to similar products, it offers lower investment costs and a faster return on investment.

The equipment’s greatest advantage lies in its ability to execute such a complex process using domestically developed technology, and it has earned customer satisfaction through its outstanding performance.

This successful delivery further solidifies ZOOMLINE’s reputation in the international asphalt equipment sector. Moving forward, the company will continue to drive technological innovation and serve more overseas markets.
