Plant for packaging solid bitumen in big bags, OKUR Turkey

Bitumen packaging plant.

The world needs more bitumen due to operating conditions. In addition, bitumen needs to be supplied anywhere, anytime, and at an affordable price.

Bitumen is an important construction material. It is used in all kinds of conditions and applications around the world.

But sometimes the desired bitumen cannot be supplied at the desired quantity and price.

The production and sale of bitumen does not seem so simple. Since the seasonal consumption conditions in winter lead to the cessation of production in the northern hemisphere. However, demand cannot meet the increase in consumption in summer.

The main challenges are that it is economically difficult to move to very remote areas, in the absence of sufficient storage and additional facilities, and in insufficient international logistics resources.

Packaging of solid bitumen in 1-ton big bags makes its transportation and storage attractive and convenient.

Thus, it can be transported to any point at any time in any quantity.

OKUR offers a solution that allows you to get maximum benefit and convenience when transporting bitumen in non-standard conditions, to remote locations and with minimal storage requirements.

Turkish companies, recognized as winners of road construction tenders around the world, cannot always supply bitumen from the region's oil refineries. They are looking for different ways to overcome this problem. And this plant, OKUR company with bitumen supply in big bags, is proven and convenient.

In road repair work, situations arise when either the bitumen does not have the desired properties, or the cost is too high, and worst of all, it cannot be delivered within the specified time frame. To eliminate all these negative factors, it is necessary to make the right decisions at the very beginning. The rapid movement of bitumen in ready-made packaging or barrels to the construction site must be ensured.

Bitumen is transported in liquid and solid form. Liquid transport by transport vessels and tankers. Temperature is very important and storage facilities must have heating, sufficient pumping and storage facilities. The temperature of the bitumen must be at least 150°C. This shows that huge investments are required.

Drums were introduced to transfer smaller volumes. The cost of the barrel and the quality of the smelting, the fact that waste barrels contain a problem in the tedious process, made road companies think seriously.

In recent years, bitumen has been placed in big bags and work has begun in this direction. A new era has been opened by filling bitumen in bags at a certain temperature and performing cooling operations.

Solid bitumen can be easily stored in 1-ton big bags.

In addition, the forklift can run-run load into containers very easily.

Thus, the movement is carried out with minimal costs by a conventional truck.
