BITUMINA’s selected drumming facilities are majorly located in the Middle East and manufacture high quality new steel drums using high quality Standardized Steel produced by companies such as ArcelorMittal, TATA Steel and MMK all in conformity to EN DIN standards. In these drumming facilities under the supervision of BITUMINA’s QC Management System and Supervision, Bitumen is packed in corrugated cold rolled steel drums.
Our Bitumen is transported in drums of various dimensions and weight. Having a broad experience in transporting bitumen in drums we can advise clients on the most appropriate and suitable form of delivery customs suited for the complexity of your final destination, considering economies of transport and required quality standards to ensure the products reach their target destinations flawlessly without leakage or spillage.

The Polyethylene Bag is a revolutionary system assisting in the bitumen transport. It provides a cost efficient alternative to Bitumen drums. The Polyethylene bags are capable of holding up to 350 kg of bitumen. Advantages over the steel drums:
- In general the waste which remains in drums accounts for 3-4%, with Polyethylene Bag bags there is no residual waste;
- The packaging does not pollute the environment, as drums are hard to recycle and re-sell, especially for projects where the Bitumen is melted distantly from the port at deep inland locations.
- The system is easy for shipping and storing;
- Bitumen is delivered and melted at a convenient location;
- The cost of labour is reduced;
- Due to more efficient heating (only the bitumen is heated and not the drum), carbon emissions are reduced;
- Due to using and melting bitumen only when needed, the constant energy consumption to keep bitumen heated is avoided, which results again in lower carbon emissions;
- Due to cold shipment of the cargo across the world, saving of more carbon emissions in comparison to bulk shipments, which requires constant heating during ocean voyages
BITUMINA provides complete solutions around the Polyethylene Bags System, from supply to melting and storage tanks. Please contact us for further information and free consultation.

Our Group supplies Bitumen in 1 ton Bitumenbags™ developed by the POERNER™ GROUP of Austria.The Bitumenbag is filled with bitumen that is exactly cooled down to a temperature slightly higher than the softening point – and lower than the melting point of the plastic liner material of the bag into a special Polyolefin Bag and is let down to harden and become solid for easy handling and cold transportation. The inner bag is placed in a very solid and firmly designed 3ply outer layer of special polymeric bags.These bags are environmental friendly and safe to handle, as it allows transportation and storage of large quantities of bitumen for long periods of time reducing energy costs and avoiding any left overs in drums or un-necessary heating like in bulk vessels.The outer layer is cut open and the inner liner melts with the bitumen during the melting process using our specially designed high tech melting units which have a capacity of 4 tons per hour.The reduction in carbon emissions due to long haulage of heated bitumen is avoided in all types of cold packing, however with the bag, additional benefit is that there are no environmental left overs and bitumen is only melted when and where needed. The bags also save about 8% of energy consumption in comparison to drums melting or Bitutainers.
