NEW INDUSTRIAL PLANT

Bitafal group expands its installed capacity by acquiring the plant Urupema

The new plant, located in Barros Blancos at km 27 of Route 8, is the new commitment to develop the local market with new products and reach the regional market with high quality products and technical level.

They are more than 5 ha in area with 2000 m2 of roofed warehouses, plant chemicals advanced and more than 1000 m3 tank where we will develop a new generation of modified asphalts and other products for road maintenance.

He is currently performing a set point and the installation of equipment, an integral vehicle scale and adapted for handling asphalts waiting to be conducting the first tests in tanks next July.

Urupema was a processing plant plasticizers for PVC industry and other chemicals, being a plant that elaborated products both domestically and regionally. The whole plant is functional and adaptable to the preparation of other types of chemical compounds advanced for road maintenance.

CITEVI is working intensively on the development of a new range of innovative products that will be available commercially in the coming months and correspondingly present at events and fairs to participate.

We will keep you informed of developments in the next editions of "Making Roads".

Group Bitafal up another level in asphalts to buy Laboratory Urupema

UNIFORMITY AND QUALITY

Asphalts new terminal opened last October (Bulletin # 98) It allows great homogeneity of asphalts basis for the manufacture of emulsions and modified asphalts.

With these investments and operational changes in plant we are achieving consistent quality of our products. The new terminal allows we to emulsify asphalt batch of some 320 tons each that are constants in quality and consistency batch after batch of emulsion.

With asphalts available in Uruguay (AC30 and 150/200) we achieved a "Blend" that meets the requirements for emulsions classified by performance for our country exceeding 61 ° C in Grade Performance testing AASHTO M320 to prevent exudates in time summer.

Since November 2018 penetrations waste our emulsions for surface treatments are between 60 and 70 dmm and softening points above 50 ° C constant and predictable. We have also improved the quality of viscosities and emulsion to standardize the process of emulsification and the size of the stocks of finished product.

Today as never before BITAFAL has full confidence in the superior quality of its emulsions over other emulsions present in the local and regional market.

After liberation of the base to emulsify BLEND, ensuring PG having a suitable batch emulsion between 30 and 90 tons are performed according to the type of emulsion. We have duplicates for each type of emulsion allowing us to quietly release the batch laboratory prior to loading tanks.

The new tanks have agitators and load filters to remove any impurity or cream that may arise.

We have also implemented a system control content and temperature of all tanks of the plant that allows us to accurately adjust stocks and forecast production and delivery.

Laboratory incorporated a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and a large battery of additional tests to determine the quality of emulsions, not only as specified in the tender documents and the IRAM 6698 but for new global trends.

We have a stereo microscope to see the quality of emulsification and micelle performance level.

We are moving the way for emulsions level of performance (EPG) which will be the specifications of the future.

These great efforts are BITAFAL we have a commitment to national roads and we want things done right because that is our responsibility.

Opening of new terminal of 1,000 tons.

After almost a year of installation, we are premiering new asphalt storage tanks hot on our Cologne plant Nicolich.

The terminal consists of three tanks of 350 tons each, and an American Heatec boiler Bearcat pumps 80 and 300 m³/ H with flowmeter. Besides being made a complete control system process variables, levels, temperatures and pressures. In the new terminal can be downloaded two trucks simultaneously at high speed which optimizes the times of availability of fleet and staff of our plant. It is also connected to the rest of the plant to transport asphalt pipe where necessary.

With this new terminal will be possible to have more homogeneous lots of asphalts basis used for the manufacture of our products have a stock in the event of supply problems and to optimize the time of the truck fleet Ergont.

With these investments we seek a better quality, consistency and availability of our products and transportation thereof.
