Asphalt Enamel pipe coating
Coal tar and bituminous based enamels have been applied since the 1940’s and 50’s and its advantages/ disadvantages in use are well documented. Although not applied in the same volumes as in previous years, mainly due to environmental concerns, the relative low price of the CTE/BA coatings compared to the for example widely used 3-layer means that these coatings are still being applied occasionally.
- Pipe sizes between Ø4 and Ø60 inch
- Pipe length 20 to 80 Ft (6 to 18 meter)
- Up to 500 m2/hour capacities
- Environment friendly
Asphalt Enamel pipe coating equipment (CTE/Bituum)
Bauhuis has installed complete facilities for the application of asphalt enamel pipe coating (CTE/Bituum). These pipe coating plants are inclusive of the typical CTE primer & weld seam application stations, main coating systems including bitumen melt equipment (raw material preparation), coating wire & reinforcement wrap (fiberglass & asphalt) application booths, quenching and end cleaning machines. Asphalt enamel pipe coating equipment can consist of:
- Pre-wash equipment
- Pre-heat equipment
- External pipe blasting equipment
- External pipe priming equipment
- Weld seam compensation systems
- Bitumen / Asphalt melt plant
- Application booth
- Quenching
- End-treatment equipment
- Inspection equipment
Pipe handling equipment
As automated pipe handling is obligatory in most pipe coating plants, Bauhuis offers a wide range of pipe handling equipment. Solid mechanical designs are coupled with sophisticated power & control systems for remote “hands off” movement of pipe through the plant.
