USB-3 Continuous Bitumen Modification Unit (12 m3/hour)
The USB-3 unit is purpose-built for the continuous production of modified bitumen, operating without interruption at a rated throughput of 12 cubic meters per hour.
The unit is compatible with virtually all modifier types available today, including crumb rubber, a wide range of special additives and all commercially available SBS polymers, which may be introduced in granule, powder or liquid form. The USB-3 also supports advanced PMB formulations incorporating adhesion additives and plasticizers.
The following optional components are available to extend the unit’s capabilities:
- sulfur feeder;
- polyphosphoric acid feeder;
- Big-bag monorail hoist;
- weighing batcher;
- compressor.
The mill may additionally be fitted with a mechanical seal complete with a dedicated support system.
