In road construction, traditional methods are risky and toxic. There’s a better way. Discover bitumen emulsion plant: a revolutionary, fire-free, and chemical-free liquid that’s transforming the paving industry for safer, more sustainable roads.
At its most basic, a bitumen emulsion is a stable suspension of small bitumen particles in water. Instead, consider it a bottle of oil and vinegar salad dressing that can never separate because of a special ingredient: an emulsifier.
SINOTO’s Emulsion Bitumen Plants are specifically designed to control this process with accuracy. The center of the system is a special machine known as a colloid mill. Here is a step-by-step rundown of how it all fits together:
Our plants are equipped with smart control systems that regulate and control all the critical parameters such as temperature, flow rates, bitumen-to-water ratio, etc. This allows us to produce a high-quality product consistently time after time.
The use of bitumen emulsion produced in a quality plant, provides a big competitive advantage compared to conventional methods.
With conventional hot mix asphalt, bitumen is heated to above 150degC – massive energy consumption and a high burn risk to staff. Since our Emulsion Bitumen Plants are cold-applied, it is safe to handle and apply, resulting in much lower energy costs and the elimination of hazards to workers in the workplace.
Cutback bitumen is asphalt that is liquefied by petroleum solvents. As the solvent evaporates, Volatile Organic Compounds from the solvent (VOCs) are emitted into the air to contribute to air pollution. Bitumen emulsion adopts water as the dispersing medium, which is a cleaner, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly emulsifier type. This not only ensures that you’re in compliance with modern environmental regulations but also resonates with clients who value sustainability.
Because bitumen emulsion is a liquid at ambient temperatures, it can work its way deeper into surfaces and adhere better to aggregates, even when those aggregates are wet or damp. This excellent adhesion makes it suitable for use in a wide range of applications, from new construction to maintenance and repair.
The degree of control over the “setting” time of the emulsion-how long it takes for the water to evaporate and not leave the bituminous behind-leads to a greater variety of applications.
Rapid-setting emulsions are ideal for surface dressing (otherwise known as “chip seal”) where a rapid bond is required to secure aggregate chips.
Medium-set emulsions are used to produce cold mix asphalt and allow asphalt mixtures to be produced at room temperature, as is particularly applicable for remote or small scale applications.
Slow setting emulsions are suitable for slurry seals and tack coat applications where a longer working time is required to incorporate a fine aggregate and provide an even application.
We know that no two projects are alike and no two businesses are alike. That is why we offer a variety of solutions to suit your individual needs.
Our fixed plants are high capacity systems built to produce large amounts of product on a continuous basis. Ideal for asphalt plants, large paving contractors, or suppliers requiring a continual and reliable supply of emulsion.
If you are looking for plants for a remote location or a contractor who needs to transport plants from one job site to another, our containerized plants can be a great solution. They are small, portable, and can be set up quickly, so you can make high-quality emulsion wherever you are.
Modular Systems:
In addition to single plants, we also provide modular plants that can be adapted to your specific production volume and application requirements. This scalability means that you can expand easily as your business grows.
Precision Control: Our plants incorporate sophisticated automatic control systems that ensure precise dosing of bitumen, water, and emulsifiers, ensuring the highest possible quality and consistency of the product.
High-Shear Colloid Mill: The core of our system, our colloid mills are made from high-grade and wear-resistant material, producing a uniform droplet size (less than 5 microns) that is critical for the stability of emulsions.
Polymer Modification: Many of our plants are capable of fitting a latex dosing unit to manufacture Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB) emulsions. These cutting-edge emulsions provide enhanced elasticity, durability, and resistance to rutting and cracking, making them perfect for high-traffic roads and harsh weather conditions.
Easy to Maintain: Our plants are designed with a clean and approachable design that emphasizes strong materials that need little to no maintenance.
Corrosion Resistance: All parts in contact with the acidic or alkaline water phase are made of stainless steel for long service life and corrosion resistance.
Investing in an Emulsion Bitumen Plant is not just about purchasing a piece of equipment; it’s about making a strategic decision that can improve your operational efficiency, the quality of your products, and contribute to a more sustainable future. By manufacturing your own premium quality bitumen emulsion on site you can:
Lower Logistics Costs: Eliminate the need to ship pre-mixed emulsion, saving you freight and handling costs.
Maintain Freshness and Quality: Produce emulsion just when needed, ensuring a fresh product with the best attributes for your particular application.
Expand Your Service Offerings: Diversify your business offerings and cater to a broader spectrum of road construction and maintenance solutions.
Our team of experts is more than happy to assist you in finding the best solution for your business. Contact us today to learn how our Emulsion Bitumen Plants can help you succeed and build better and more durable roads.
