Globecore CH-1 Bitumen Pump

Description

The CH-1 pumping unit is a robust and high-performance solution designed for handling high-viscosity organic binders. This system is engineered to operate under demanding conditions, ensuring a steady fluid transfer at temperatures up to +180°C.

Technology and Operating Principle

The system is based on a gear-type pump — an ideal technology for handling dense and viscous fluids. The movement of the gears ensures precise, low-pulsation volumetric pumping, essential for applications requiring a stable flow. The mechanical configuration is optimized to guarantee a minimum suction height of 1 meter, allowing effective fluid intake even from tanks or cisterns.

Applications and Handled Fluids

The versatility of the CH-1 unit makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial and civil applications. Its main uses include:

• Waterproofing and roofing: Pumping of bitumen and mastics for the preparation and application of protective coatings.
• Road maintenance: Transfer of bituminous emulsions for asphalt pavement repair.
• Industrial processes: Handling of fluids such as oil, liquid pitch, and bitumen emulsions in production plants.

This unit is therefore a reliable choice for all operations involving high-temperature organic binders.

Operating Features and Technical Specifications

The performance of the CH-1 bitumen pump is defined by precise technical parameters to ensure maximum efficiency.

• Capacity and Performance: The unit provides a nominal feed rate of 28 m³/h, with an operating pressure of 0.59 MPa. The nominal shaft rotation speed is set at 389 rpm.
• Fluid Handling: Designed to handle fluids with viscosities up to 3500 mm²/s and maximum temperatures of +180°C.
• Heating Circuit: The system includes a heat-transfer circuit with a conditional passage of 25 mm. This circuit supports a maximum pressure of 0.78 MPa and a temperature of up to 180°C, essential for maintaining bitumen fluidity during pumping.

Construction Details and Installation

Every component of the CH-1 pumping unit is integrated onto a single base frame to ensure stability and easy installation.

• Motorization: Driven by an electric motor with an installed power of 5.5 kW, compatible with 380/220 V supply.
• Hydraulic Connections: The suction and discharge ports have a conditional passage diameter of 80 mm.
• Dimensions and Weight: Overall dimensions are 1270 x 430 x 745 mm (L x W x H), with a maximum weight of 300 kg.
