How to choose the right thermoplastic melting kettle for thermoplastic road marking machine

When the road marking paint is constructed, the thermoplastic marking paint needs to be heated by using the thermoplastic melting
kettle to heat the powdered paint first, and then stirred until it melts into liquid state, and then the paint is put into the road marking machine for marking construction. The melting quality of the paint relates to the quality of the road marking paint, so the choice of the thermoplastic melting kettle varies in different scenarios of application.

Key factors to consider when choosing a thermoplastic melting kettle:

1. Construction scene:

Highway
Highway delineation construction needs to consider the issue of construction of high efficiency, that the capacity of the melting kettle cylinder is the key, highway thermoplastic delineation construction is recommended to choose the capacity of 1200kg hydraulic double-cylinder thermoplastic kettle, double-cylinder capacity: 600kg × 2, the heating temperature: 0-300 °C. Comprehensive temperature, geography, fuel costs and other factors can be freely selected diesel or liquefied petroleum gas as a heating fuel, is the main equipment for melting paint in the construction of thermoplastic road marking paint.

Provincial and national highway
Provincial and national highways can be fully closed, semi-closed or open highway, applicable to a wider range of occasions than the highway, the technical indicators are relatively low. For the provincial road marking construction, we recommend choosing the kettle cylinder capacity of 1000kg hydraulic double-cylinder thermoplastic kettle, double-cylinder capacity: 600kg × 2, heating temperature: 0-300 °C, the heating method can choose diesel & liquefied gas, to adapt to a variety of scales of thermoplastic road marking paint project, is the construction of the main equipment for the melting of paint.

Municipal Roads
Municipal roads include expressways, main roads, secondary roads and side roads, and roads set up within the planning and construction scope of urban areas and towns. Regarding the thermoplastic marking construction of municipal roads, the choice of thermoplastic kettle is recommended to have a capacity of 800kg hydraulic double-cylinder thermoplastic kettle, equipped with high-power electric start-up diesel engine and hydraulic mixing system, which can run under heavy load, forward and reverse mixing, with strong power to ensure full mixing and thorough melting.

Underground parking lot
Recommended 400kg capacity thermoplastic kettle, suitable for special sites with limited height requirements.

2. Fuel type:

Thermoplastic melting kettle can be comprehensive temperature, geographical area, fuel costs and other factors are free to choose diesel or liquefied petroleum gas as heating fuel. Diesel type thermoplastic kettle performs better in areas with stronger wind, while liquefied gas type is more suitable for areas with big temperature difference.

To summarize, choosing the right thermoplastic melting kettle needs to be based on the specific construction scene, fuel type and equipment parameters for comprehensive consideration to ensure construction efficiency and construction quality.
