From September 4 to 6, the anniversary 30th Riga Food 2025 exhibition took place in Ķīpsala (Riga), bringing together more than 420 participants from 30 countries worldwide.
The official opening of the GlobeCore stand was attended by the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to Latvia Anatolii Kutsevol, Deputy Mayor of Riga Mārtiņš Sprindžuks, Deputy Head of the Kyiv City State Administration Hanna Starostenko, and Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Entrepreneurship Development of the Kyiv City State Administration Anatolii Bahan.
Riga Food is a key event for the Baltic food industry, annually bringing together producers, processors, and distributors from various countries. For GlobeCore, participation in the exhibition was an excellent opportunity to showcase its technological solutions, in particular the CLM colloid mills, which are widely used in food production and help improve processing efficiency.
Participation in Riga Food 2025 confirmed GlobeCore’s commitment to staying close to producers and distributors, supporting the real needs of the market, and offering equipment that makes production more efficient and reliable.

In early September, Latvia hosted the Riga Food 2024 international trade fair for the food industry. The exhibitors at the event included more than 400 companies from 30 countries represented in 9 national pavilions. A special feature of this year’s trade fair was a large national exhibit booth of Ukraine, covering an area of 200 m², where 37 Ukrainian manufacturers, including GlobeCore, were represented.

In just three days, the trade fair was attended by more than 20 thousand guests from nearly 40 countries. The exhibit booth of GlobeCore featured a CLM-100.3 food-grade colloid mill and the product samples made with the use of this mill, which sparked great interest among attendees and potential partners.

The trade fair gained attention from the Baltic Region businesses, as well as from the diplomatic agents. On the first day, among the attendees were Edgars Rinkēvičs, the President of Latvia, and Anatolii Kutsevol, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the Republic of Latvia, who came to see the exhibit booth of GlobeCore.

For a month (8 June to 8 July this year), GlobeCore engineers visited Accra (Ghana).

The engineers assisted with assembly and commissioning of a full scale bitumen emulsion production complex there. An important part of the complex is GlobeCore equipment for the production of cationic or anionic bitumen emulsions. Note that our company also manufactures storage containers for bitumen emulsions and modified bitumen, bitumen filters and laboratory equipment for the development of binding material formulas. The bitumen emulsion produced complies with quality standards and is successfully used in road construction and repairs. Commissioning was combined with training of the customer’s personnel to operate the equipment.

A similar GlobeCore bitumen emulsion complex has been commissioned in Ghana previously. The facility has been running successfully for two years; the new facility further increases the bitumen emulsion production in this country.

In July 2018, a GlobeCore UVB-1 unit was commissioned in Myanmar. Beside the commissioning, GlobeCore engineers also trained customer personnel to operate and service the unit.

The unit produces 8 cubic meters of emulsion per hour; it consists of a water phase section, emulsion preparation section, controls and piping to supply water phase solution and thinner. The unit is semi-automated.

Bitumen emulsion made with the UVB-1 units complies with international standards of quality and can be used for surface treatment of road top, preparation of cold asphalt mix, patch repairs of roads, tac coating before application of asphalt etc.

For more information on the unit and to place an order, visit the contacts page of our website.

On 10-15 May, GlobeCore representatives visited Kokshetau, Kazakhstan to commission a UVB-1 bitumen emulsion unit with the production capacity of 2 m3/hour).

This GlobeCore equipment can be used to make all types of bitumen emulsion for road repairs or construction. The UVB-1 operates in an automation-assisted mode and consists of several components assembled on a common frame and interconnected by piping.

GlobeCore bitumen emulsion production equipment is available in different production capacities from 1 to 20 m3/hour and in various designs (containerized, framed, mobile or stationary). For more information on choosing the best option, use one of our contacts on the corresponding page.

Dear Valued Customers! We would like to remind that GlobeCore provides an opportunity to increase the existing bitumen-emulsion plants performance by introducing an additional block. It has the potential benefits in the form of efficiency and functionality.

It allows to raise the productivity of both GlobeCore plants and plants of other manufacturers. One such project was implemented in Thailand, where the existing equipment was complemented with a water phase extension section.

How can I improve the quality of bitumen? What is the difference between modified bitumen and common non-modified bitumen? What equipment is used for bitumen modification?

Bitumen is one of the most common materials in construction. It is used in roofing and waterproofing works, construction and repair of road surfaces, the protection of pipelines, the lining of canals,

But with all the advantages, bitumen has one drawback, which is its fragility in low temperatures. In severe climate conditions, bitumen coatings fail before their expected life time. In warm climate under sun rays and in high temperatures the bituminous asphalt layer is dulling and aging a lot more intensely.

Modifying bitumen to improve its quality

With introduction of polymers, it is possible to improve the properties of bitumen – reduce brittleness and increase heat resistance. Modifying additives extend the life of bitumen coatings – by resisting deformation in the range of operating temperatures, water resistance and strength.

Equipment for bitumen modification from GlobeCore

GlobeCore produces equipment for modified bitumen for the needs of construction industry. One of the latest achievements of our design department is the improvement plant for mixing bitumen in cycle  UMB-6 (productivity 6 m3 / h).

This equipment can work with various forms of additives (liquid, solid, powder), and its dimensions are adjusted for transportation in a container by road and by sea. In one production cycle, bitumen passes twice through the colloid mill, which allows to increase its quality without loss of productivity. Also the number of bitumen pumps is reduced from three to two: one for pumping in, and the other for a colloid mill and pumping out.

If you are interested in purchasing a UMB-6 bitumen modification unit, please get in touch with one of our contacts.

A team of GlobeCore specialists visited Accra (Ghana) in August for commissioning and personnel training.

This time, the team commissioned a UVB-10PK bitumen complex, which consits of several sections, each with its own function:

• bitumen input;
• preparation of bitumen;
• production of all emulsion types;
• emulsion storage and output.

Operating such equipment optimizes motorway repairs and construction, since some of the operations can be performed at the same time (e.g. accepting bitumen and bitumen emulsion output).

The UVB-10PK can be installed on a prepared site in two weeks, including startup and commissioning. The unit can be controlled by a single operator, but for safety purposes, due to hot bitumen and heat carrier use, two operators are preferred.

All operating modes are automated. The operator’s function is to select the mode of operation and start/stop the equipment.
