Bitumen packaging. Petroleum bitumen
Like anyone else construction material, bitumen must be able to be delivered to remote construction sites. But you won'tequip smoking machines on all roads that prevent the bitumen from hardening. It’s better to bring it to the place and melt it there. This means that after receiving it, it must be packaged so that it arrives at the place of use uncontaminated.
Bitumen packaging
The packaging should not only protect the bitumen from dirt, it should provide a convenient form for transportation. After all, it is clear that a frozen bitumen clot of unknown size and shape will be difficult to bring to fruition at a construction site. Let's look at some packaging methods:
It only takes a couple of minutes to unpack using an angle grinder;
Marking of bitumen
It is needed for any building material: it is important to know what is in the package, you won’t open all the packages and achieve the desired result experimentally.
Alphanumeric marking: B - bitumen; N - oil; K - roofing; D - road; I - insulating; M - mastic; G - hot. Thus, the abbreviation BND will mean “petroleum road bitumen”, and MBK-G will mean “hot bitumen roofing mastic”. U construction bitumen
The letters are followed by an improper fraction, for example, 70/30, where the softening temperature is in the numerator and the conditional hardness is in the denominator. The complete marking of construction bitumen may look like this - BN-90/10.
For road bitumen BND-60/90, the numbers mean something different: the numerator - denominator are the upper and lower limits of the change in penetration, that is, in what range the hardness can change with a change in temperature.
For roofing bitumen BNK-45/180, the numerator is equal to the softening temperature, the denominator is the average penetration value. For roofing mastic MBK-G-65, the numbers show the heat resistance temperature.
Transportation of bitumen If transportation is carried out to a warehouse, or over very long distances, then it is transported to, convenient for moving, loading and unloading. To transport bitumen to the construction site, we use bitumen trucks so that there are no problems with loading and so that it is immediately ready for use. After all, what is a concrete truck? A huge thermos with double walls and heating, mounted on a car. Thanks to bitumen trucks, time on construction sites is significantly saved.
More about bitumen:
Road pavements using BND 60/90 bitumen are famous for their strength, safety and low cost (the price is 2-2.5 times lower than for concrete pavements). Remarkable reliability when connected into one whole various components(crushed stone, mineral powder and sand) while maintaining the required ductility and strength. Road surfaces can withstand increased static and dynamic loads over a wide temperature range with long-term durability.
Application
Viscous petroleum bitumen BND 60/90 is an active binder for the repair and construction of road surfaces. Thanks to the use of bitumen, road surfaces will withstand increased static and dynamic loads. The construction of asphalt concrete pavements from hot and warm mixtures includes the stage of preparation, laying and compaction of the mixture, final Finishing work. The preparation stage includes checking the readiness of the base: determining compliance with the project conditions, laying out work, cleaning the base from contamination, installing side stops. The turn of hot and warm mixtures comes after appropriate preparation of the base. The work is carried out by machines with the required productivity, which will meet the required work deadlines. There are several other types of preparation of viscous road bitumen for use. Of course, first you need to warm it up, first remove it from the packaging and break it into pieces. Then a container is required, which is filled to approximately 3/4 of its volume. Stirring periodically, the bitumen is heated over a fire in an open container (the mixture should not have solid particles or foam). If it is necessary to use bitumen as a primer, pre-cooled to 80°C, pour it into a container with a solvent (in a ratio of 1:3). The entire mixture is thoroughly mixed until a liquid is obtained that can be conveniently applied with a roller or brush.

The building material has excellent contact with concrete, brick, unpainted metal, and cement blocks. Oil grade bitumen 90/10 has excellent anti-corrosion properties and high strength. Petroleum construction bitumen forms a dense, seamless coating without cracks or voids. The mixture hardens quite quickly even with extreme heat. Mode of application You need to remove the packaging from the bitumen in advance, break it up, and break it into pieces. Then place it in a container, filling it to ¾ of the volume, and, without closing the lid, heat the petroleum bitumen, constantly stirring, until a lump-free, homogeneous suspension is formed. If you plan to use the resulting viscous suspension as a primer for the surface, then the bitumen must be poured into a container containing a solvent (it must be cooled to 80°C in advance). One part of bitumen is dissolved in three parts of a solvent - gasoline, kerosene or white spirit. After the bitumen has been poured, the bitumen and solvent are mixed well to obtain a flowable liquid that is easy to apply using a roller or brush.
Characteristics

Barrels
Why do you need bitumen packaging equipment? Why is it better to keep bituminous materials in barrels? What are the benefits and advantages of this?
Application
Bitumen is an indispensable material for repairs and construction highways. Thanks to properties such as hydrophobicity and increased adhesiveness, it performs the important function of binding layers of asphalt concrete mixtures. In addition, bitumen is successfully used for surface treatment of old road surfaces and priming of the road base before applying a fresh layer of asphalt concrete.
Transportation
One of the most problematic stages is transporting material from bitumen storage facilities to places of direct use. When using small volumes of bitumen, which are consumed without leaving any residue, the most acceptable option is the so-called non-returnable packaging: bags, boxes or barrels.

Today, hundreds of Sandvik lines operate in chemical plants and refineries around the world. The areas of application of this technology are constantly expanding due to the ability to quickly provide customers necessary equipment and service anywhere in the world, as well as the ability to test new products in several test centers.
Brief description of the technological process
Bitumen is cooled on a cooling conveyor with a capacity of up to 4.2 t/h. If necessary, provide more high productivity, 2 or 3 cooling lines are installed in parallel. Using dosing devices made in the form of overflow baths, liquid bitumen is supplied to a steel belt, which is the main element of the cooling conveyor. The steel belt is equipped with four limiting strips, so that 3 strips of product with a width of about 400 mm and a layer thickness of approximately 10 mm are formed on the belt. Bitumen is supplied by dosing pumps. For each production line there is 1 dosing pump, i.e. for each cooling conveyor - 3 pieces, which have a joint drive with an adjustable gear.
To reduce the adhesion of bitumen to the steel strip, before feeding the bitumen, the strip is automatically lubricated with a release agent (3% soap solution, silicone oil, etc.). Thus, after hardening, the bitumen can be easily removed from the steel strip.
The heat generated during the bitumen cooling process is removed through the surface of the steel belt and absorbed by cooling water sprayed through nozzles onto it. inner surface. The high thermal conductivity of SANDVIK 1200SA tape (1.4310; AISI 301) ensures highly efficient heat dissipation. The design of the cooling conveyor is designed in such a way that the possibility of product contact with cooling water is completely eliminated. Cooling water is collected in trays built into the cooling conveyor, from where it enters a storage tank for subsequent cooling in the refrigeration unit.
The entire length of the cooling conveyor is closed with a sealed casing equipped with an exhaust fan.
The cooled bitumen strips are cut into sections of approx. 800 mm and then stacked on top of each other until a bitumen block of a given thickness is formed. The bitumen blocks then enter a transverse conveyor.
On next stage The bitumen blocks are automatically wrapped in polyethylene shrink film and enter the shrink chamber. The packaged blocks are then conveyed via a roller conveyor to the palletizing machine.
Thus, within 20-30 minutes from the moment of filing liquid bitumen The workshop is ready to ship a packaged pallet with bitumen blocks that meet the highest European standards in terms of packaging.
