The USB-3 unit is engineered for the continuous production of modified bitumen, boasting a rated capacity of 12 cubic meters per hour.<\/p>\n

In the modification process, the USB-3 unit accommodates various modifiers available today, including crumb rubber, special additives, and SBS-polymers in granular, powdered, or liquid form. This versatility extends to facilitating the implementation of new formulations involving adhesion additives and plasticizers.<\/p>\n

Optional components that can be integrated into the unit include a sulphur feeder, polyphosphoric acid feeder, Big-bag monorail hoist, weighing batcher, compressor, and a mill with a mechanical seal and support system.<\/p>\n

Operating Principle
\n\"\"<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Polymer is introduced into the hopper.<\/li>\n
  2. The operator sets the formulation for polymer-modified bitumen on the control cabinet.<\/li>\n
  3. The unit is activated.<\/li>\n
  4. Bitumen and polymer are metered into the intermediate tank.<\/li>\n
  5. Liquid additives are pre-fed into the bitumen.<\/li>\n
  6. A high-speed mixer inside the tank preliminarily blends polymer and bitumen.<\/li>\n
  7. A gear pump transfers the mixture to the mill for grinding and homogenization.<\/li>\n
  8. Upon completion, the unit automatically flushes with clean bitumen to prevent blockages.<\/li>\n
  9. The unit is then ready for subsequent operation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Technical Features<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Installed within a spatial structure suitable for transportation in a standard 20-foot container.<\/li>\n
    • Equipped with a high-speed colloid mill featuring cutters designed for efficient grinding, cutting, and homogenizing of polymer-containing bitumen.<\/li>\n
    • Cutters with a symmetrical profile, doubling their service life with a change in rotation direction.<\/li>\n
    • Pumping equipment includes a frequency converter to regulate the supply of premixed bitumen and polymer to the mill, optimizing homogenization.<\/li>\n
    • Polymer batching system incorporates a hopper with a spiral conveyor, controlled by a frequency controller, ensuring precise polymer-to-bitumen ratio.<\/li>\n
    • Intermediate tank facilitates thorough mixing of bitumen and polymer, enhancing mill efficiency.<\/li>\n
    • Liquid additives are supplied via self-priming, gear-type, and dosing pumps, with percentage adjustments controlled from the central panel.<\/li>\n
    • Electro-pneumatic valves and optional compressor enable the unit to operate independently of external compressed air sources.<\/li>\n
    • Bitumen pipelines, pumps, mill, and intermediate tank are heated with thermal oil, ensuring gentle and efficient heating.
