Storage tank options
Internal bulkheads are optional. They divide the storage tank into compartments, which can be used for different grades or types of liquid asphalt cement, for fuel or for additives. The bulkheads are double-walled and insulated. Various combinations of heating coils and controls can be furnished.

 

Foundation option
Optional steel plate foundations with hand cranks make set-up easy. They can be cranked down in minutes, drastically reducing set-up time and eliminating the need for cribbing.

Piping options:

  • 3 or 4 inch piping
  • AC lines with hot oil jackets
  • Rigid AC lines with 12-degree ball joints
  • Insulation on hot oil and AC lines
  • Piping to drum mixer and other tanks
  • 1-½-inch hot oil jumper lines

Chassis options
Budd wheels, spring suspension and either single, tandem or triple axles are optional. Quad axles and air bag suspension are also available.

Fuel tank option
A 400 to 650-gallon compartment can be built into the gooseneck of the chassis for storage of No. 2 fuel for the burner.

Additive tank option
A 2,000 gallon additive tank can be built onto the rear of the main tank, overhanging the pump system. It is heated and insulated.

Metering package option
The optional metering system uses two positive displacement pumps. One is an AC supply pump, the other is a metering pump. The metering pump responds only to the actual flow of AC and is much more reliable than systems that merely sense the rotations of the supply pump. The system corrects flow rate to allow for temperature variations. Mass-flow type meters are also available.

Unloading pump option
An optional pump, motor, and strainer system unloads AC from asphalt tankers. The system can be piped so it also unloads the Heli-Tank.

Other options
Other options include a sock filter for the hot oil line, fuel preheater mounted on the rear frame extension, radar liquid level gauges, fold-down handrails, a 7-day time clock, and high-low AC level alarm. An optional telephone dialer automatically reports heating problems when the plant is unattended.
