USB-3 Bitumen modification laboratory system

The USB-3L bitumen modification laboratory system is designed for the preparation of small samples (no more than 10 liters per batch) of modified bitumen1.

The system uses a continuous bitumen2 mixing process with further dispersion3 of bitumen and polymer in the mill4. Unit design allows for the addition of other liquid components in the process of bitumen modification.

The unit can be used by petrochemical facilities for optimization of the modified bitumen production process, determining the required amount of modifying additives and using the prepared bitumen as a laboratory sample.

This product is designed for testing of known formulas of emulsions, primers, and liquid rubber. It can also be used for the development of new materials and emulsifiers and the corresponding research and experiments.
