On October 4, 2014, there was a ceremonial opening of the first in Tanzania bitumen emulsion plant, fully equipped with GlobeCore equipment.

The gravity of the occasion was evidenced by the fact that the vice-president of the rural and urban road construction industry of the United Republic of Tanzania – Hassan Matimbe – was present at this ceremonial opening.  He together with the representatives of the company Gratian Nshekanabo (managing director) and Prashant Patel (general director) cut the ceremonial ribbon.

Great hopes are pinned on a new production facility in Tanzania. In particular, Gratian Nshekanabo mentioned: “We are proud that the first bitumen emulsion production plant in Tanzania was constructed according to the best world standards and on the basis of world’s experience. And it means that bitumen emulsion, produced on such equipment fully complies with all international and regional standards.  The application of ‘cold technologies’ will change completely our approaches to the road construction and maintenance.”

Mr Hassan Matimbe told that the opening ofthe bitumen-emulsion plant is a great step to industrialize Tanzania.  In addition, import of bitumen emulsion will be significantly reduced.

But this ceremonial opening was preceded by a thorough examination of  bitumen production equipment, available in the hi-tech market. Only after that, preference was given to the equipment, produced by GlobeCore.

In the end of June 2014 GlobeCore completed all planned commissioning operations and personnel training in Thailand.

A 20 cubic meter per hour UVB water phase preparation unit for bitumen emulsions was supplied to  this country.

Bitumen equipment made by our company is optimized for the required production capacity. The bitumen emulsion can be used for production of emulsion almost all year long, as long as the temperature is above +5 ºС). This, and the quality of the bitumen emulsions produced makes the UVB type unit highly demanded in the world market.

In end end of April, GlobeCore has complete a project involving supply of UMBP-22P to Vietnam. The unit was commissioned by GlobeCore’s staff.

The UMBP-22P is designed for modification of bitumen by polymer. One of the possible modification products is bitumen-polymer binding, which is widely used in preparation of asphalt road top, surface treatment of cement and concrete surfaces, membrane sealants etx. Besides, the GlobeCore’s plant allows to produce bitumen-elastomer sealants and roofing materials.
