Ihame rikurura ingoma ya tutumen rishonga ni ugushyushya, gushonga na drum bitumen bishonga binyuze mu isahani yo gushyushya. Bigizwe ahanini no gukuramo barrel, guterura sisitemu, imirongo hamwe na sisitemu yo kugenzura amashanyarazi.

Ingoma ya bitumen ishonga agasanduku igabanijwemo ibyumba byo hejuru no hepfo. Urugereko rwo hejuru ni Urugereko rwa Bitumen rushonga, rutwikiriye cyane amavuta yo gushyushya amabuye y'agaciro cyangwa imiyoboro ishyushye yo gushyushya. Btumen irashyuha kandi irashonga kandi iva muri barriel. Inkongi y'umugozi yashyizwe ku gatsiko, kandi urutoki rw'indogobe rumanikwa. Indobo ya bitumen yazamuwe ninch amashanyarazi, hanyuma yimuka kuruhande kugirango ashyire indobo ya bitumen kuri gari ya moshi. Hanyuma umuvuduko usunika indobo mu cyumba cyo hejuru binyuze muri gariyoni ebyiri ziyobora, kandi icyarimwe, indobo irimo ubusa isohoka kuva inyuma irangiye. Hano hari ikigega cya peteroli kigabanya peteroli ku bwinjiriro bwa bitumen. Bitumen yinjiye mu cyumba cyo hepfo y'agasanduku kandi ikomeza gushyuha kugeza ubushyuhe bugera kuri 100, bushobora gutwarwa. Noneho yarumiwe muri tank ya bitumen na pompe ya bitumen. Urugereko rwo hasi rurashobora kandi gukoreshwa nka tutumen ashyushya tank.
Ingoma ya bitumen ishonga ibikoresho biranga ibiranga ibidukikije, bikabazwa n'imihindagurikire y'ikirere, kandi umubare muto cyane. Niba umusaruro munini ukenewe, ibice byinshi birashobora guterana.
