Polymer Modified Bitumen Plant
A Polymer Modified Bitumen Plant is a specialized facility used for producing Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB), a type of asphalt that is widely used in road construction. These plants mix polymer materials with bitumen to create a more durable, high-quality, and long-lasting asphalt.
Benefits of Polymer Modified Bitumen
The Polymer Modified Bitumen Plant enhances asphalt’s resistance to cracking and spreading, providing a more water-resistant and durable surface. It helps prevent permanent deformation (such as rutting), thermal cracking, and aggregate stripping from the binder, making it ideal for long-lasting road applications.
Thanks to its unique design, the Polymer Modified Bitumen Plant ensures homogeneous mixing of bitumen with polymers. This results in an asphalt mix that is more resilient and effective. These plants are generally high-capacity, capable of modifying up to 40 tons of bitumen per hour.
Role in Road Construction
The Polymer Modified Bitumen Plant plays a vital role in road construction projects. To produce high-quality and long-lasting asphalt, it is essential to mix polymer materials with bitumen. By modifying bitumen with polymers, the plant ensures roads are more durable and can withstand harsh conditions over time. This technology contributes to producing superior asphalt that provides extended pavement life and reduced maintenance costs.
Customizable Systems
Depending on project requirements, we can manufacture compact systems with two 6m³ tanks on a single chassis or design systems with independent tanks and multiple mills that can be scaled as needed. Our plants are highly adaptable, ensuring they meet any project’s demands.
High-Quality Components
All mills, pumps, and valves used in the Polymer Modified Bitumen Plant are our own production, manufactured to the highest standards. Our mills feature precision design and an adjustable gap mechanism to ensure optimal performance. Our pumps use a herringbone gear system, making them highly sought after in the industry.
Flexible Operation
Users can operate the system either manually or automatically using the pneumatic valves. Products can be seamlessly transferred from one tank to another, passing through the mill as many times as needed for perfect homogenization.
Temperature Control
The plant features both mechanical and electronic temperature controllers to ensure that products are kept at the desired temperature. This precision allows for consistent and high-quality bitumen production.
Advanced Weighing and Feeding System
The plant includes a polymer scale and a screw conveyor. The scale provides fully automatic weighing to add polymer accurately to the main tank, ensuring precise measurements for the desired asphalt mix.
Powerful Milling System
Our four-stage mill is driven by a 160 kW motor, delivering excellent shear and high efficiency. The mill is robust, ensuring continuous operation without interruptions. Users can adjust the mill gap down to 0.05 mm for precise shearing, with the flexibility to balance cutting accuracy and production capacity based on their needs.
High-Quality Electrical Components
The control panel and switchgear are designed using top-quality components from well-known brands like Siemens, Schneider, ABB, and Phoenix. This guarantees reliability and ease of maintenance.
User-Friendly Software
Our in-house developed software features a user-friendly interface and full PLC control. The system can operate automatically via computer control or be switched to manual mode if needed, offering flexibility and ease of use.
