What is an asphalt distributor tank?
An asphalt distributor tank is a truck-mounted system that sprays bitumen or bitumen emulsion onto the road surface. It consists of a heated and insulated tank, a bitumen pump and a spray bar with nozzles at the rear of the vehicle. As the vehicle advances, bitumen is applied to the surface as a thin, even film.
Where is it used?
The main applications are spraying binder bitumen before chippings are spread in surface dressing, applying a prime coat before a new asphalt layer, and applying a tack coat between two asphalt layers. In all of these, keeping the amount of bitumen per square metre homogeneous directly affects the durability of the pavement.
Key selection criteria
Tank volume, heating method, spraying width and the precision of quantity control are decisive. Since the distributor works in the same chain as the chip spreader, the roller and the road sweeper, planning them together is recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions
In which works is an asphalt distributor used?
It is used to spray bitumen evenly onto the road in surface dressing, prime coat and tack coat applications.
Can it work with bitumen emulsion?
Distributor systems can be configured for hot bitumen or bitumen emulsion depending on the project. Stating the material in advance makes correct configuration easier.
What information should I share when requesting a quote for a asphalt distributor tank?
The make and model of the carrier vehicle (or the towing unit), the type of road and work, the daily workload and any existing hydraulic equipment define the configuration. Dimensions and capacities are determined together with our team.
