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.

In April, representatives of our company visited Ghana to access the current state of a UVB-1 plant.

This equipment was sold in 2012 and has since produced 40000 m3 of bitumen emulsion. This material is in demand in Ghana, as this country is badly in need of building new and repairing the existing automobile roads.

Application of bitumen emulsions in road construction industry boosts the quality work significantly, expands work season, saves binding materials and fuel. Using emulsions also reduces hazardous emissions into atmosphere.

As a results of the trip, we state that after four years of successful operation in Ghana the UVB-1 is in good state and ready to contribute to the progress of road construction industry of Ghana.
