There has been an increased amount of heavy load carrying vehicles using our main roadway systems. The heavy, and often overweight vehicles is one of the the main reasons for the deformation of the bitumen/asphalt based road systems. The properties of bitumen are modified by the addition of special polymer additives. A “Modified Bitumen” productRead More
Colloid mills are a very unique kind of industrial equipment. They are used for the grinding of road construction materials and perform the grinding through the effect of cavitating forces. These forces result from considerable centrifugal loads. GlobeCore produces and supplies the domestic and international road construction industry with a wide range of equipment forRead More
A colloid mill is one of the most important parts of the equipment used in the blending of bitumen emulsion products. It grinds bitumen down to particles of between 1 and 3 microns while blending it with an emulsifier solution. A unit for emulsion production consists of many separate units and sub-assembly parts that haveRead More
Nowadays, the storage and discharge of bitumen can be difficult and expensive operations for your company. The physical and chemical peculiarities of the material, difficult climatic service conditions, high energy consumption and a need for a long warm up times are some reasons for finding new ways of improving the process and equipment designs. TheRead More
The variety of bitumen equipment includes different kinds of units used for the production, storage, transporting and exploitation of bitumen and bitumen emulsion. GlobeCore is in the business of developing and delivering bitumen equipment to the road construction industry. GlobeCore designes and builds equipment for producing bitumen emulsion and modified bitumen. Additionally, GlobeCore has equipmentRead More
In the road construction industry, bitumen emulsion is used more often than bitumen. This cohesive material was invented in the USA and it has been used for over half a century all over the world as one of the chief components of modern road construction materials. Bitumen emulsion serves as the cohesive material for theRead More
Bitumen emulsion is mainly used for road construction projects. It is a direct emulsion where the dispersed phase is formed from pure or cutback bitumen. These materials are prepared in special devices such as the GlobeCore UVB-1 unit. This model consists of component storage containers, dispensers, colloid mill, and a container for the finished product.Read More
The rapid technological and scientific development changes the traditional compositions of bitumen emulsion. In combination with progressive technology, these allow to produce a wide spectrum of emulsified materials with improved performance in comparison with traditional asphalt technology. Research of the trends in bitumen material development shows some of the most promising directions, such as: –Read More
A new age in road construction began on 9 May 1922. Hugh Alan McKey registered the first bitumen emulsion patent. Within several years the application of this new material significantly changed road construction. The amount of bitumen emulsions made in France in 1923 was several hundred tons. In 1924 it increased to 2500, and toRead More
Bitumen emulsion were first tried as a road construction material in the beginning of the 20th century. Originally, the use of emulsion was limited due to low experience and knowledge in the area of emulsion formation, mixing and the technology of emulsion production and application. With time, the use of emulsion grew steadily from theRead More
