c. In Bitubags The Polyethylene Bag is an innovative product able to hold up to 1,000 kg of bitumen. This system facilitates the use and transport of bitumen, while reducing waste
The Polyethylene Bag is especially suitable for companies with special logistics. This system allows heating the bitumen at the application site, reducing waste and waste products that result from its application.
GALP ENERGIA BituBag ® - Supply chain with Polyethylene Bag


Cooling and packaging unit
When leaving the refinery, bitumen has an homogeneous shape and is cooled to a temperature close to its softening point, although lower than the Polyethylene Bags melting point.

Stabilisation of the material inside the bag
The Polyethylene Bags design allows bitumen to stabilise the package. The bag has a fill volume of up to 1,000 kg and is manufactured with standard plastic: the outer bag with high strength polypropylene and a polyethylene inner bag.

Get to know in detail the advantages of the Polyethylene Bag system
The Bag has several environmental, safety and inventory management benefits. Its structure allows the transportation and storage of large quantities of bitumen for long periods of time reducing energy costs. The Bag allows your company to reduce costs.

Safety Bitumen is transported and stored at room temperature in indoor or outdoor areas. Bag volume and shape is designed for maximum storage in cargo containers, according to transport standards. The bags have a high resistance to the transport and handling process, since they are easily handled by conventional mechanical means.

Inventory management The bag allows a better stock management by minimizing the dependence on the availability of bitumen, as it allows you to storage the amount of product needed for your projects. The big bag structure allows optimal storage, since it can be stacked with total security.

Reduction of transport costs The big bags structure allows up to 20 tones of product for transport in containers of 20'', allowing you to maximize space. As a result, transportation costs are reduced by 20%.

Reducing energy costs The bag storage is carried out at room temperature for long periods of time saving you energy costs. This product allows a reduction of 8% in energy costs when casting, compared to traditional solutions (drums and isolated containers).

d) Bitumen In Bitutainers
On custom orders of clients for long term contracts to specific destinations, we are capable to supply in Bitutainers of various sizes. Bitutainers are special Lloyds certified containers designed for the transportation of bulk Bitumen. Bitutainers include an integrated heating system which is preferentially working either with electrical or fuel oil heating or a combination of both. Custom Bitutainers with other burners are available too. Bitutainers are available in 20' and 40' sizes and can be used as transportation containers as well as for storage on preliminary sites were moveable storage is required. Bitutainers are ideal means of transport for haulage to short container destinations.

We can also supply in double hauled ISO Tankers if required. Further information is available on request.
