I-bitumen melter plant isetshenziselwa ukugcina nokusebenzisa itiyela. Ukwakheka kwayo kulula, kulula futhi kulula ukuyisebenzisa. Lapho kunqamuka ebusika obubandayo, iphampu yetiyela kanye nepayipi langaphandle kufanele kugcinwe kufudumele. Uma iphampu yetiyela ingakwazi ukuphenduka, hlola ukuthi iphampu yetiyela ibhajwe yini itiyela elibandayo, futhi ungaphoqi iphampu yetiyela ukuthi iqale. Ngaphambi kokusebenza, izidingo zokwakha, izinto zokuphepha ezizungezile, umthamo wokugcinwa kwetiyela, nezingxenye ezihlukahlukene zokusebenza, ukubukeka, amaphampu e-asphalt, nezinye izinto zokusebenza zemboni yokuncibilikisa itiyela kufanele zihlolwe ukuze kubonakale ukuthi zivamile yini. Kuphela uma lingekho iphutha ingasetshenziswa ngokujwayelekile.

Indlela yokunakekela isitshalo sebitumen melter:
1. Indawo ezungeze umshini wokunqamula izintambo kufanele igcinwe ihlanzekile. Ngemuva kokuvalwa, indawo kufanele ihlanzwe futhi imiphongolo ye-asphalt kufanele ihlungwe. Hlola ama-valve ahlukahlukene kanye nezinsimbi njalo.
2. Hlola ukuthi iphampu yetiyela, iphampu kawoyela wegiya, ivalvu ehlehlayo kagesi, isilinda kawoyela, i-hoist kagesi nezinye izingxenye zisebenza kahle, futhi zibhekana nezinkinga ngesikhathi.
3. Hlola ukuthi i-asphalt outlet ayivimbeli njalo yini. Ngemva kokusebenza isikhathi esithile, ukungcola okungaphansi kwegumbi eliphansi kudinga ukususwa ngembobo yokukhipha amanzi.
4. Hlola futhi uhlanze isistimu ye-hydraulic njalo, futhi uyishintshe kusenesikhathi uma kutholakala ukungcoliswa kukawoyela.
