Bitumen, a vital material in construction and infrastructure, is typically packaged in steel drums to maintain its quality during storage and transportation. Our drumming facilities, overseen by a stringent QC Management System, employ corrugated cold rolled steel drums for this purpose.
We specialize in transporting bitumen using drums of various sizes and weights. Leveraging our extensive expertise, we guide clients on optimal delivery methods tailored to their specific destination complexities. Our focus is on achieving efficient transport economies while meeting stringent quality standards, ensuring leak-proof and spill-free deliveries.
Through comprehensive consultations, we collaborate with clients to facilitate timely product shipments to their sites, aiming to prevent project delays and associated penalties. Our dedicated team, well-versed and trained, emphasizes efficiency, transparency, and meticulousness in handling every shipment, regardless of its scale, prioritizing each client’s needs.
Here are some reasons why steel drums are considered suitable for packing bitumen:
Durability: Steel drums are robust and provide excellent protection for bitumen during handling, storage, and transportation. They can withstand various environmental conditions and are less prone to damage compared to other materials.
Sealability: Steel drums are tightly sealed, preventing the entry of air, water, or contaminants that could compromise the quality of bitumen. Proper sealing ensures that the bitumen retains its desired properties over time.
Chemical Compatibility: Bitumen is a highly viscous and thick substance that can be corrosive to certain materials. Steel is chemically compatible with bitumen and does not react with it, ensuring the integrity of the packaging and preventing contamination.
Temperature Resistance: Bitumen can experience a wide range of temperatures during transportation and storage. Steel drums are able to withstand both high and low temperatures without compromising their structural integrity, providing effective protection for the bitumen.
Stackability: Steel drums are designed for efficient stacking, which helps optimize storage space during transportation and at storage facilities. This feature contributes to cost-effective logistics.
Regulatory Compliance: Steel drums used for transporting and storing bitumen typically adhere to industry standards and regulations. Compliance with these standards ensures the safe handling and transportation of bitumen.
Recyclability: Steel is a recyclable material, which aligns with sustainability goals. After the bitumen is used, the steel drums can be recycled, contributing to environmental responsibility.
