The invention discloses a preparation method of bitumen balls, which comprises the following steps: 1) putting viscosity depressants into a reaction kettle, heating and melting; under the condition of stirring, adding bitumen with high softening point; under the condition of stirring, heating the reaction kettle to a temperature not lower than the softening point of the bitumen with the high softening point and keeping the temperature for 1-3 hours; and cooling to obtain the prepared bitumen, wherein the softening point of the bitumen with high softening point is 180-300 DEG C; and 2) heating the prepared bitumen to 90-180DEG C, and enabling the bitumen has mobility, in the state of heat preservation, adding the prepared bitumen below the suspending medium liquid level of which the temperature is 80-90 DEG C, keeping for 1-10min at the temperature of 80-90 DEG C, and cooling to obtain the bitumen balls, wherein the suspending medium is polyving alcohol aqueous solution. The method of the invention has the characteristics of full utilization of raw materials of bitumen, reduced waste of raw materials, simple preparation process, and low production cost; and the bitumen ball prepared by the method is more uniform, and has smoother surface, thus avoiding the crash and adhesion of bitumen balls.
