Bitumen Packing

Bitumen is a highly viscous liquid; so its packaging is very important considering the factors like cost, environment, storage, and shipping. The bitumen packaging classifies to three different types such as new steel drum; jumbo bag; and bulk that according to their specification, bitumen volume and weight, the best type of packaging will be chosen.

Steel Drum

Drum is the common packaging of bitumen due to its safety and consistent quality. It varies dependent on bitumen volume, height, thickness and lid. The most widely used type of drums is long new steel drum that is chosen by more than 80% of our customers.

QHH Company has its own steel drum manufacturing factory which has a capacity of 5000 drum/day. These drums are made of cold-rolled steel and are black coated immediately in order to prevent corrosion and rust.

Jumbo bags

Jumbo bag is a large flexible multi-layer bag which is called bitu-plast, bitu-bag, polybag and poly cube. This type of poly-alkene bags with high quality and resistance is one of the best types of bitumen packaging. The reasonable price and its ease of use, have made it too popular in industries. It can be filled up to 1 MT of bitumen. Recently bitumen exporters use jumbo bag instead of steel drums. Unlike drums, jumbo bag reduces bitumen waste by about 3 to 4 %. It’s necessary to heat the bitumen when discharging the drum, but in jumbo bag, it’s enough to tear the outer layer of bitumen jumbo bag and throw the bitumen jumbo bag in the molten furnace with the inner layer.
