The bitumen industry focuses on the production, processing, and application of bitumen, a key component used in road construction for asphalt production and roofing. It also includes the production of asphalt emulsions, modified bitumens, waterproofing compounds, and asphalt mixtures. Due to the specific nature of the material, the bitumen industry requires advanced technologies and specialized equipment capable of working with highly viscous substances and at extreme temperatures.
At Tapflo, we offer a wide range of equipment, such as pumps and mixers, that increase the efficiency and quality of production processes in the bitumen industry. The use of modern Tapflo solutions makes it possible to obtain the highest quality bitumen products that meet the stringent requirements of the market. By choosing our solutions, you can significantly increase the efficiency and safety of processes in your production plant.
We recognize that each company possesses unique requirements; therefore, we provide customized solutions precisely aligned with those needs. Our engineering team stands ready to offer expert advice and assist in selecting the optimal solution.
Tapflo Solutions is a department created in response to the demanding and unusual needs of the market, going beyond the scope of our standard offer. We specialize in designing unconventional solutions that meet the most difficult customer requirements.
Devices created by SolutionsTM are comprehensive solutions that increase work comfort and safety, such as stationary and mobile systems for unloading media from tanks, drums or IBC containers, mixers and mixing stations or systems for the production of SLES.
We also add functional modifications to standard devices from the Tapflo portfolio, e.g. by increasing their mobility, adjusting dimensions or introducing advanced safety and control systems.
We also offer a wide range of products designed to protect Tapflo equipment from damage or weather conditions – such as thermal or acoustic covers.
Proper maintenance of pumps is critical to ensuring reliable and uninterrupted operation in any industry. Using only original Tapflo spare parts guarantees that every component meets strict quality standards, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of your equipment.
In demanding environments, including chemical processing and ATEX zones, genuine parts help prevent unexpected breakdowns, minimize costly downtime, and maintain the safety and efficiency of your operations.
Investing in original Tapflo components provides businesses with peace of mind, enabling continuous production and long-term reliability for all pumping systems.
Thermal oil plays an essential role in the production process of bituminous emulsions, particularly in heating and maintaining proper operating temperatures. Tapflo gear pumps for thermal oil provide precision and stable temperature control, especially during the process in which asphalt is treated.
Properly selected pumps increase the efficiency of the asphalt application process, enabling faster road works. Tapflo pumps are resistant to high temperatures and abrasion, making them ideal for this application. They also offer high performance, even when pumping viscous, high-temperature, and highly abrasive media. An optional heating jacket allows the pumps to be brought to the correct temperature before starting operation. The use of a relief valve protects the pump and the installation by limiting the pressure difference between the suction and discharge sides - the reduced pressure helps to protect the pump components.
Tapflo gear pumps allow for pumping bitumen of various viscosities and at high temperatures - up to 300°C. Whether it is pure bitumen, elastomer-modified bitumen, or heavy bitumen – the gear pump series and other bitumen pumps are designed to pump them.
