Equipment Presentations Held in Bulgaria

Starting On 18 October 2015 through 24 October 2015, GlobeCore held equipment presentations in several cities in Bulgaria that included Sofia, Plovdiv, Ruse, Blagoevgrad and others.

The following GlobeCore equipment was presented:

  • bitumen emulsion production units;
  • units for bitumen modification with polymers; and
  • bitumen laboratory equipment.

The presentations were attended by representatives of the top managers and engineers of road of Bulgarian construction companies.  All attendees were happy to have received the latest GlobeCore Road Construction Equipment catalogs containing the technical specifications of the advanced bitumen products.

Upon the completion of the presentations, the attendees were given the opportunity to speak with the GlobeCore design engineer and discuss many specific technical questions about the road construction products.

It must be noted that a GlobeCore plant designed for the production of modified bitumen has been operating in Bulgaria since 2009.  Familiarity with GlobeCore’s reputation and equipment in Bulgaria has sparked a growing interest in learning more about how GlobeCore products can benefit the companies involved in the road construction industry.

GlobeCore thanks all the participants for their interest shown towards our Company in the course of presentations and for such a warm welcome to Bulgaria.

Road construction equipment – UVB-1 Successfully Started up in Azerbaijan

On 7 February 2015, GlobeCore’s employees finished the start up  road construction equipment UVB-1 unit (capacity 2 m³/hour) in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Bitumen for road construction equipment designed for production of bitumen emulsion are in demand due to their competitive price and high quality characteristics of the final bitumen emulsion product they produce.  It is worth noting the following benefits of  bitumen emulsions:

  • no warm up necessary;  Application of bitumen emulsion allows the workers to save energy and reduce the time required to conduct construction projects since there is no need to warm up bitumen to 150-160°C.  Additionally, road construction projects are safe since the risk of thermal burns is greatly reduced when using GlobeCore bitumen emulsion equipment.
  • possibility to apply bitumen emulsion to the road surface with residual moisture.  In such a way, the road construction season may be significantly extended.
  • application of adhesive additives and special diluent gives the possibility to make bitumen emulsion more efficient when there are surface irregularities, pores, and cracks.

Cationic bitumen emulsions provide better  adhesion to the surface due to the electric force between positive and negative charges.

Taking everything into consideration, it should be noted that the most undeniable benefits of bitumen emulsion are increased productivity and high quality of completed road construction projects.

The GlobeCore UVB-1 units range in capacity (1,2,6, or 8 m3/h) and are designed to produce both cationic and anionic bitumen emulsions that fully comply with international quality standards of the road construction industry.

 

A UVB-1 Unit Commissioned

On 10 June 2014 a UVB-1 bitumen emulsion production unit was successfully commissioned.

The UVB-1 is designed for production of cationic or anionic bitumen emulsions.  This material is in high demand, reducing material costs and energy consumption compared to the traditional hot material methods.

GlobeCore manufactures bitumen emulsion production systems of various capacities to accommodate every customer’s need.

GlobeCore Specialists Successfully Commission a Bitumen Emulsion Plant in Thailand

At the end of June 2014, GlobeCore completed all planned commissioning operations and personnel training in Thailand.

A 20 cubic meter per hour UVB water phase preparation unit for bitumen emulsions was supplied to this country.

Bitumen equipment made by our company is optimized for the required production capacity. The bitumen emulsion can be used for production of emulsion almost all year long, as long as the temperature is above +5ºС/41ºF). This, and the quality of the bitumen emulsions produced makes the UVB type unit highly in demanded the world market.

Comissioning of Bitumen Emulsion Production Plant

10 June 2014 – GlobeCore specialists successfully commissioned a UVB-1 bitumen emulsion production unit.

The demand on the UVB-1 is caused by the demand of the product. Water bitumen emulsions remain in high demand for construction and repairs of roads, waterproofing of buildings, and treatment of metal surfaces.

The bitumen emulsion made with GlobeCore’s equipment allows operation from early spring to late autumn in temperature above +5ºС/41ºF.  Operation of the UVB-1 units does not cause harmful emissions into the atmosphere. Customization options serve to optimize the equipment for the client.

Business trip to Serbia and Macedonia

Business trip to Serbia and Macedonia

Our company representatives have visited several companies in Serbia and Macedonia who expressed a wish to get know more about GlobeCore bitumen emulsion and modified bitumen equipment.

They were interested in process of bitumen emulsion production, exploitation of plants and aftersales service. Polymer modified asphalt, bitumen emulsions are relatively new road materials, that is why meeting was very efficient and cognitive for both parties. Types of bitumen emulsion. asphalt properties, emulsion polymerization etc were discussed at the meeting.

There are few bitumen emulsion manufactures in Serbia, that is why it is still an unoccupied market.

Participient  were satisfied with the results from the meeting. Our company has got priceless experience.
