Hamwe niterambere ryihuse ryubwubatsi bwimihanda, isabwa rya bitum iriyongera, kandi bitumen yamashashi irakoreshwa cyane muburyo bworoshye bwo gutwara, kubika byoroshye, hamwe nigiciro gito cyo gupakira, kikaba gikwiriye cyane cyane gutwara ingendo ndende. Bitumen ipakiye mumifuka ya pulasitike ikoreshwa, ariko nta bikoresho byo gukuraho igikapu. Ibice byinshi byubwubatsi biteka igikapu bitumen mumasafuriya, idafite umutekano kandi yangiza ibidukikije. Byongeye kandi, umuvuduko wo gutunganya uratinda, ubwinshi bwo gutunganya ni buto, nakazi Imbaraga ni nyinshi, kandi iri inyuma cyane yumubare wa bitumen ukenewe kumashini nini yo kubaka umuhanda munini. imashini yamashanyarazi ya bitumen irashobora gutanga ibice byubwubatsi hamwe nurwego rwo hejuru rwimashini nogukora, umuvuduko wo gutunganya byihuse, nta kwanduza ibidukikije, umutekano kandi wizewe.

Imashini yo gushonga ya bitumen igizwe ahanini nagasanduku yo gukuramo imifuka, icyumba cyo gutwika amakara, icyumba gishyushya ikirere gishyushye, gushyushya imashanyarazi, icyambu cyo kugaburira bitumen, uburyo bwo guca imifuka, ubukangurambaga, uburyo bwo gushonga imifuka, agasanduku kayungurura na sisitemu yo kugenzura amashanyarazi. Umubiri w'agasanduku ugabanyijemo ibyumba bitatu, icyumba kimwe gifite umufuka n'ibyumba bibiri bitagira umufuka, aho bitumen ikuramo. Icyambu gikomeye cya bitumen (umutwaro uremerera bitumen) gifite ibikoresho bya bitumen hamwe nibikorwa byo kurinda imvura. Umufuka bitumen umaze gupakirwa, igikapu cyo gupakira gihita gicibwa kugirango byoroshye gushonga kwa bitumen. Gutwara ubushyuhe bishingiye cyane cyane kuri bitumen nk'ikigereranyo, kandi gukurura biteza imbere bitumen kandi byongera imirasire yubushyuhe. Uburyo bwo kuvanaho imifuka bufite umurimo wo gukuramo igikapu cyo gupakira no gukuramo bitumen umanitse kumufuka. Bitumen yashonze yinjira mucyumba kitagira umufuka nyuma yo kuyungurura, kandi irashobora gukururwa no kubikwa cyangwa kwinjizwa muburyo bukurikira.

imashini ya bitumen yamashanyarazi ifite ibyiza byo gukanika imashini no kwikora, umuvuduko wo gutunganya byihuse, ubushobozi bunini bwo gutunganya, akazi keza kandi kizewe, kandi nta kwanduza ibidukikije. Irashobora gukoreshwa cyane mumihanda no kubaka imijyi.
