USB-3 Bitumen modification laboratory system
The USB-3 bitumen modification laboratory system is engineered for the preparation of small-scale samples (up to 10 liters per batch) of modified bitumen.
Utilizing a continuous mixing process, the system disperses bitumen and polymer in the mill, facilitating effective modification. Additionally, the unit’s design permits the incorporation of other liquid components during the bitumen modification process.
Primarily intended for use by petrochemical facilities, the unit serves to optimize the production process of modified bitumen. It aids in determining the necessary quantity of modifying additives and enables the utilization of the prepared bitumen as a laboratory sample.
Developed by GlobeCore, this modification laboratory system is tailored for testing established formulations of emulsions, primers, and liquid rubber. Moreover, it supports the exploration of new materials and emulsifiers, offering a platform for corresponding research and experimentation.
