Selection method for hot melt kettle, comparative explanation of selection in different scenarios, clear explanation at once, decisive collection

06 2 月, 2026

When constructing road markings, the hot melt marking needs to first use a hot melt kettle to heat the powdered coating, then stir it until it melts into a liquid state, and then put the coating into a marking machine for marking construction. The melting quality of the coating is related to the quality of the marking, so the selection of the hot melt kettle varies in different scenarios. Today, following the editor’s answer, I hope to explain it clearly at once, save it first and watch it later!

expressway
With the rapid development of economies in various countries, transportation is well connected. The total length of newly renovated highways in the world is 209028 kilometers. Highways control the entry and exit of vehicles throughout the entire process, and they are fully enclosed roads dedicated to automobiles. Highways have a wide coverage and facilitate communication between cities.

China has always been known as an infrastructure maniac. The Huoshenshan Hospital, built in ten days, takes five hours to move the railway and nine hours to renovate the train station. The issue that needs to be considered in highway marking construction is the high efficiency of the construction, and the capacity of the kettle is the key. It is recommended to choose a hydraulic double cylinder hot melt kettle with a capacity of 1200kg for highway hot melt marking construction. The double cylinder capacity is 600kg × 2, and the heating temperature is 0-300 ℃. Diesel or liquefied gas can be freely selected as heating fuel based on factors such as temperature, region, and fuel cost, and is the main equipment for melting coatings in hot-melt marking construction.

Provincial and National Highways
Provincial and national highways can be fully enclosed, semi enclosed, or open highways, with a wider range of applications than highways and relatively lower technical indicators. Provincial trunk highways are constructed, maintained, and managed by the highway authorities, while provincial and national highways generally have four or more lanes in both directions and two or more lanes in one direction. For the marking construction of provincial and national highways, it is recommended to choose a 1000kg hydraulic double cylinder hot melt kettle with a capacity of 600kg × 2 and a heating temperature of 0-300 ℃. The heating method can be diesel and liquefied gas, which is suitable for various scales of hot melt marking projects and is the main equipment for melting coatings during construction.

Provincial and National Highways
municipal road
Municipal roads include expressways, main roads, secondary roads, and branch roads, which are roads set up within the planning and construction scope of urban areas and towns. With the rapid process of urbanization in our country, the mileage of municipal road construction is also developing rapidly. In the construction of hot melt marking for municipal roads, the recommended selection of hot melt kettle is a hydraulic dual cylinder hot melt kettle with a capacity of 800kg. It is equipped with a high-power electric starting diesel engine and a hydraulic mixing system, which can operate at high loads and mix in both directions with strong power, ensuring sufficient mixing and thorough melting of the material.

Urban road overpass
underground parking
Nowadays, the development of large-scale underground spaces involves the planning of parking lots, mainly due to the continuous increase in the total number of urban cars. The height limit of underground parking lots is basically between 2 and 2.4 meters. In the construction of hot melt markings in parking lots, there are special sites specifically designed for limited access and high requirements, which are mostly used for the construction of hot melt markings in underground parking lots and are the main equipment for melting coatings in such projects. It is recommended to use a 400kg capacity hydraulic double cylinder hot melt kettle (garage kettle). The equipment has a compact structure and compresses the overall height for easy access to limited height sites. Through clever internal design, the cylinder capacity is guaranteed, making access convenient and construction efficient.

Factory Township Road
In daily marking construction, when it comes to hot melt marking construction scenarios in small-scale construction such as property communities, factories, and docks, equipment selection needs to be considered. With small volume, light weight, and convenient transportation, it is recommended to choose a hydraulic single cylinder hot melt kettle, which has outstanding advantages in small-scale projects, such as energy saving, high efficiency, flexibility, and convenience. It is the main equipment for melting coatings in small-scale hot melt marking projects.
