Why do We Use Jumbo Bags Instead of Steel Drums?

Generally, there are a lot of reasons that bitumen exporters use jumbo bag instead of steel drums. Unlike drums, jumbo bags reduce bitumen waste by about 3 to 4 %. Approximately, the waste goes zero. But the main reasons are as follows:

  • The jumbo bag preparation temperature and filling is too much lower than the drums so we can save the thermal energy and the iron used in drums.
  • Bitumen jumbo bags are much easier to transport than bitumen drums.
  • It’s necessary to heat the bitumen when discharging the drum, but in jumbo bag it’s enough to tear the outer layer of bitumen jumbo bag, and throw the bitumen jumbo bag in the molten furnace with the inner layer.
