Bitumen semitrailers
We offer bitumen semitrailers in steel or in stainless steel. The tanks have a (stainless) steel body with a 100 mm coating of thermal insulation, again covered with a sheet of aluminium. The working temperature of the contents is around 250°C and the working pressure is around a maximum of 2 bar. The inside temperature is clearly given on a thermometer. For further technical details, see the technical description.
