Factory-direct engineering solutions optimized for heavy infrastructure and road rehabilitation projects globally.
Two decades of pioneering R&D in bitumen thermal dynamics and transport logistics
HEM Group was established in 1998 by esteemed professors from Chang'an University—the premier institution for highway engineering in China. Originally registered as Xi'an Hongda Communications Technology, we represent over 25 years of breakthroughs in mechanical dynamics, hydraulic matching, and thermal fluid simulation.
Recognized as a High-Tech Enterprise by the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Science and Technology in 2006, our R&D center holds numerous proprietary patents in engine power matching, digital electronic metering, thermal oil jacket heating system designs, and anti-sedimentation agitation mechanisms.
To streamline global delivery and service infrastructure, HME TOP Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. was established in 2017 as our dedicated export arm. We offer one-stop global logistics, customs compliance, multi-lingual technical dispatch, and lifetime OEM component support across 60+ countries.
Standard asphalt transport vehicles suffer from significant heat dissipation during long-distance transits, leading to binder hardening and costly reheating cycles at the job site. HEM Group's proprietary 100mm high-density rockwool and thermal oil jacket system reduces thermal drop to under 1°C per hour, preserving modified polymer (SBS/CRMB) structures without polymer degradation or local burning.
Navigating the shift toward high-performance binders, stringent emissions standards, and smart fleet telemetry.
Modern highway networks rely heavily on SBS-modified, Crumb Rubber Modified Bitumen (CRMB), and Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA). These binders require tight pumping temperature windows (160°C - 180°C) and active agitation to avoid phase separation during transit. Global contractors require specialized OEM transport tankers equipped with heat-transfer oil heating and internal mixer systems.
Rising fuel costs and strict carbon emission directives (Euro VI, Stage V) demand energy-efficient burner technology. Our automatic diesel/heavy oil burner units feature localized temperature sensing, automatic start-stop controls, and optimized flue heat exchange channels that minimize diesel consumption during transit heating.
Procurement directors require full visibility into binder condition prior to discharge. HEM transport trucks integrate CAN-bus sensors, real-time GPS tracking, multi-point temperature telemetry, and liquid level sensors that beam live diagnostic data directly to logistics control centers.
Precision-engineered components built for harsh working environments and continuous heavy load transport.
