Drum
In the bitumen industry, steel drums are the traditional packaging option for export purposes. These drums have a capacity ranging from 150 to 200 Kg, with 180 Kg being the most widely used size by consumers worldwide. This size offers the most cost effective solution, saving on production, handling, and shipping-related expenses for importers.
For transporting drum bitumen, 20-foot containers are the standard size and the most economical option available in the market. Although 40-foot containers have a larger capacity of 135 drums, the Terminal Handling Charge (THC) is higher, resulting in increased shipping rates and port charges. Therefore, using the standard 180 Kg drums is recommended for drum bitumen clients to ensure savings on shipping expenses.
Jumbo Bag (1000Kg)
The jumbo bag was designed to operate under any weather conditions. The bagged bitumen is placed next to the melting unit and the bag is raised by the crane that is an integral part of the unit. After the outer bag has been removed, the bitumen is then easily melted over the heated burners. The melted product is collected in a storage tank, where it is ready to be used. This melting equipment is specially prepared to guarantee a high heat transfer area, taking into consideration the physical and chemical properties of the product. It, therefore, minimizes associated energy costs and guarantees the consistency of the product.
It offers numerous environmental, safety, and stock management advantages. Its structure ensures the simultaneous transport of large quantities of bitumen and its long-term storage capability drastically reduces energy costs. associated energy costs and guarantees the consistency of the product.

Bitutainer
The Bitutainers are suitable for the transportation of bulk bitumen by rail, road, and ships throughout the world. All materials used in the construction shall withstand extremes of temperature ranging from -20°C to 230°C without affecting the strength of the container. The Bitutainers are internally fitted with two pairs of heating pipes running from rear to front and back to rear with exhaust at the top. Heating pipes are fastened by “U” bolts. The diameter of heating pipes is 219mm (in the flame area) and 159mm (in another area). Two diesel burners installed at the inlet of each heating pipe will carry out heating.
Advantages:
- 30% more carrying capacity compared to regular tank containers
- High-performance factory-fitted heating tubes
- High-value factory-installed insulation
- Ships as a standard 20ft ISO container with Lloyd’s approval
- Robust and durable pressed Corten steel outer skin
- Great for temporary or long-term storage applications
- The quality of bitumen remains without any change
- Less loss in healthy
- Less Freight cost compare to drums
Heating equipment required
- Quick Fit Diesel Burners Set
- Stainless Steel Flame Liners
