Asphalt Production Process
At Bitumen, we manage the asphalt production process with cutting-edge technologies. The stages of the production process are as follows:
Raw Material Supply
Raw materials like bitumen and aggregate, essential for asphalt production, are sourced from reliable suppliers. The quality of these raw materials directly impacts the durability and performance of the asphalt.
Mix Preparation
During production, bitumen and aggregate are combined homogeneously at high temperatures using special mixers. The temperature and density of the mix are constantly monitored to maintain the physical and chemical properties of the asphalt.
Hot Mix Application
The produced asphalt is loaded onto special vehicles as hot mix and transported to the application sites. Maintaining the appropriate temperature is critical to ensure efficient application of the asphalt.
Quality Control and Storage
The produced asphalt undergoes quality control tests to ensure compliance with international standards. The asphalt is stored under suitable conditions, ready for dispatch to project sites.

Types of Bitumen Asphalt
As Bitumen, we produce various asphalt types for different infrastructure and pavement projects:
Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA)
The most common type of asphalt used for high-traffic roads and highways, known for its quick application and high durability.
Cold Mix Asphalt
Preferred for emergency repairs and temporary paving, cold mix asphalt is cost-effective and easy to apply, making it ideal for tasks like pothole filling.
Polymer-Modified Asphalt (PMA)
This type of asphalt is reinforced with polymers, offering increased flexibility and durability. It is an ideal option for airport runways and roads carrying heavy loads.
Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA)
SMA provides high-level solutions in terms of durability and surface performance, making it a popular choice for highways and bridges.
Key Considerations in Asphalt Production
At Bitumen, we prioritize quality and safety in asphalt production:
Quality Control
Quality control tests are conducted at every stage of production. The produced asphalt is certified according to international standards.
Environmental Safety
All necessary measures are taken to prevent environmental damage during asphalt production. Our production facilities comply with sustainability principles, focusing on energy efficiency and waste management.
Safety and Occupational Health
The occupational health and safety of personnel in the production facilities are ensured with great care. Employees receive regular training on safety protocols and emergency management.
