Cutback Emulsion

Microtech Engineering manufacture and export a wide range of bitumen processing equipment’s like Bitumen Emulsion Plant, PMB Plant, and Cutback Plant. The specially designed Microtech Engineering make High Shear Inline homogenizer for works on the principle of the high centrifugal force produced due to the high rpm of the rotor mounted on the main spindle and thus producing a very high shear due to the specially designed minimal tolerance between the rotor and stator. The homogenizer is equipped with precision engineered rotor/stator work head with a minimal tolerance between them that provides much more fine results

Bituminous materials are primarily used in the construction of roadways because of excellent strength of binding properties with water proofing properties as well as low cost of materials and it is also binding in cement material also.

In cutback bitumen process, volatile solvent is used to reduce the viscosity of bitumen fluid. Bitumen is a fluid binder which can be used to mixed aggregate uniformly at low temperature. If viscosity is high of bituminous binder at low temperature, the binder is blended with volatile solvent which help to ease to bind the aggregate.

In construction work, the cutback is used mostly and binding properties are developed by solvent evaporation. The hardness of the road is depending on viscosity characteristics of fluidity and composition of bitumen and volatile solvent.

Our company is here to help as we have created the best Bitumen Emulsion plant on the market, one that can help you with all your needs and which does provide you with an astounding set of results right from the start.

Types of Cutback Bitumen

Cutback bitumen is classified in that:

1. Rapid Curing (RC)
2. Medium Curing (MC)
3. Slow Curing (SC)

How is it manufactured?

The state of the art design of the homogenizer makes it operational for Cutback application for thorough mixing and dissolving of heated Bitumen with controlled amount of petroleum distillates/ solvents like Naptha, gasoline and kerosene, white spirit etc. The heated Bitumen from the Bitumen Storage tank is pumped through the Bitumen feed pump while the solvent from the solvent storage tank is pumped through the solvent feed pump into the Wahal Engineers High Shear Inline homogenizer for perfect mixing and dissolving of Bitumen and solvent, while the prepared Cutback Bitumen is pumped into the Cutback storage tank.

Key Features:

1. Jacket for Heating/complete insulation of the pipeline and the homogenizer.
2. Different sizing of the rotor-stator assembly depending upon the flow rate.
3. Low Electrical power as per the required flow rate.
4. Large selection of materials for product contacted parts namely, S. S-304, S.S -316L,etc.
5. Power transmission depending upon the rotational speed may be a coupling or V-belt.
6. Stuffing box with specially impregnated gland sealing for shaft.V-belt.
7. Different end connections: Flange design, Tri Clover (TC).
8. Binary entrance for merging different partial flow.
