1. The workload of 20-ft container with packaged bitumen (net) is: 19.7 tons in the IBC, 16.8 tons — in metal barrels, so the transportation cost of 1 ton of bitumen in the IBC will be 15% lower than in barrels 210 kg.
2. Specific weight of packaging: IBC – up to 7%, barrels — up to 10% (including pallet weight 20-30 kg based on placing 4 drums / pallet), NOMBUS container — up to 20%, which also reduces the cost of transportation of 1 tons of bitumen in IBC compared with barrels and containers NOMBUS in those operations where necessary to take into account weight.
3. Using reusable packaging (containers NOMBUS type, etc.) for delivery of bitumen results in additional costs related to the return of empty containers to the place of packing.

Storage of packed bitumen.

Filled with bitumen IBC store in piles — 2-3 layers (air temperature +50°C ÷-50°C, relative humidity up to 98%). It is possible to store containers on open, flat, firm ground with a shed to protect from natural precipitation (rain, snow).
