bitumens from Russia to China by Railroad

Unloading of a tank-car can be organized at any site where there are 15 meters of railway, a 380 V/AC socket and small air-compressor with operating pressure of 1 kgf/cm2 (1.01 bar). Such railway cars allow delivering of bitumen directly to an asphalt-making plant or roofing factory without additional transfer reloading.

Being equipped with heating coils tank-cars can be easily and quickly heated up so that the temperature rises by 3-5 degrees an hour, and even in case the bitumen has completely cooled down it can be heated up over 48 hours.

The insulation is 20 cm thick due to which bitumen does not cool down for a relatively long time. Thus, bitumen having the temperature of +165 C at the time of loading will reach the consumer after 14 day long railing with its temperature being +140 C.

Due to heat insulation, bitumen remains hot inside the tank for a long time; it can be easily warmed up prior to unloading, and does not demand of any pump stations or/and specially equipped cargo platforms.

All in all OU KEMTRANS GRUPP owns 190 specialized railway tanks (both 15-1532 and 15-1534 types) with heat insulation and electric heating system for bitumen transportation. This enables us to transport 9500 tons of bitumen per trip.

I would be much obliged if you could consider other State Standard indices from the above table to specify which grades you may
