A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
Typical capacity ranges from 3000 to 15000 liters, depending on the truck model and application. Confirm the exact capacity with the manufacturer for your specific unit.
Heating power typically ranges from 30 to 120 kW, depending on tank size and insulation. The required power ensures the asphalt maintains the operating temperature of 160–200°C.
Temperature control accuracy is ±5°C, achieved through the heating system and insulation. This maintains the asphalt's viscosity for proper spraying.
Common materials include carbon steel (e.g., Q235B per GB/T 700) and stainless steel, with insulation materials such as rock wool or polyurethane foam. Verify material grades with the manufacturer.
