The PPM bitumen heater from Globecore is a cutting-edge and effective option for businesses handling bituminous materials. Using the indirect heating concept instead of heating bitumen directly is this unit’s unique characteristic. The PPM transfers heat to the bitumen tank by heating a heat transfer medium, like thermal oil, while it is operating. By using this method, bitumen is heated uniformly, the possibility of localized overheating is removed, and its qualities are maintained. An affordable and dependable piece of bitumen handling equipment, the device enables accurate temperature control and effective energy use. The PPM’s small size, ease of use, and great dependability define it. It works well in a variety of production locations and is simple to incorporate into the current infrastructure.
