What specialized equipment is required to produce rubberised bitumen emulsions at scale?

[Salvi]

Rubberised production typically needs a rubber feeding and pre dispersion system, controlled high shear mixing, and often a dedicated modification stage before emulsification. Many plants use a bitumen modification tank with agitation and temperature control, then feed modified binder to the colloid mill. Filtration and strainers must be designed to avoid clogging from rubber particles. Pumps and pipe sizing must handle higher viscosity and potential elasticity. Inline temperature control and recirculation loops help stabilize particle size and prevent settling or gel formation.
