Structural characteristics of three-axis asphalt tanker truck

The structural characteristics of a three-axis asphalt tanker are as follows:

Three axle chassis design:
Improving Load Capacity and Stability: The three-axis structure (usually in the form of a 6 × 4 or 6 × 2 drive) significantly enhances the vehicle’s load-bearing capacity, allowing it to transport more asphalt while reducing single axle loads and minimizing damage to the road surface. By reasonably distributing axle loads, the vehicle has a lower center of gravity when fully loaded, significantly reducing the risk of roll during turns and significantly improving driving stability, especially suitable for complex road conditions such as mountainous areas and construction sites.
Adapting to complex road conditions: The three axle design provides the vehicle with stronger passability, allowing it to easily handle rough and bumpy roads, ensuring safe and efficient transportation.
Tank structure optimization:
Ladder circular cross-section design: The tank body adopts a ladder circular cross-section, which effectively improves the utilization rate of volume and can accommodate more asphalt in the same size, while reducing the height of the center of gravity and further enhancing driving stability.
Double layer insulation and efficient insulation: The tank body is composed of high-tech insulation materials (such as rock wool and polyurethane) wrapped in iron sheet, with excellent insulation effect. The heat loss rate is strictly controlled at no more than 2 ℃ per hour, ensuring that the asphalt remains in liquid state for a long time at ambient temperatures ranging from -30 ℃ to 200 ℃, meeting transportation and construction needs.
Wave proof plate design: A wave proof plate is installed inside the tank, with a thickness of generally 10mm and a height determined according to the size of the tank body. The material is mostly Q345 high-strength steel. The anti wave board can attenuate asphalt shaking, reduce the impact on the tank, prevent premature structural damage, improve driving stability, and enhance maneuverability and safety.
Heating and insulation system:
Automatic ignition diesel burner: equipped with imported diesel burner, high heat capacity (such as 18 × 10 ⁴ kcal/hour), can quickly heat asphalt to 110 ° C~180 ° C, meeting loading and unloading needs. Good combustion quality, no pollution emissions, and meet environmental protection requirements.
Thermal oil circulation heating: Using a thermal oil circulation system, the asphalt pump, pipeline, and valve components are heated and insulated throughout the entire process to ensure that the asphalt remains liquid during transportation and avoid solidification and blockage. Some models also introduce engine waste heat recovery technology to further optimize insulation efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
Multi functional pumping system:
Multiple operation modes: supporting asphalt self discharge, pump pressure discharge, pump suction tank loading, in-situ transportation, internal circulation, and external pump input, etc., to adapt to different working conditions. For example, when the oil storage tank is lower than the vehicle, it can be directly discharged by gravity; When the oil storage tank is higher than the vehicle, pressure pumping is used.
Reliable hydraulic drive and transmission: The hydraulic system drives the asphalt pump and heat transfer oil pump, with reliable transmission and easy operation. The multifunctional pumping system can meet various needs in asphalt transportation and improve operational efficiency.
Safety and monitoring devices:
Liquid level display and alarm system: The tank is equipped with a liquid level sensor, which displays the real-time height of the asphalt liquid level and is equipped with a full level alarm system to prevent asphalt overflow and ensure transportation safety.
Breather valve and drain tank: Install a vent valve on the top of the tank and a drain tank at the bottom to ensure safety and environmental protection during transportation.
Infrared monitoring (some models): Some models are equipped with an infrared monitoring system to monitor the temperature and pressure inside the tank in real time, detect abnormal situations in a timely manner, and take measures.
Operating Platform and Humanized Design:
Operation platform: The vehicle is equipped with an operation platform, which facilitates the loading and unloading, heating, monitoring and other operations of the staff, improving the convenience and safety of the operation.
Humanized details: The tank is equipped with a manhole (also an oil inlet) for easy maintenance and feeding; Reasonably set up strong reinforcement rings and beams internally to avoid stress concentration and enhance the strength of the tank body; The baffle can prevent asphalt from shaking during emergency braking or uphill and downhill driving, ensuring driving safety.
