Bitumen & Construction Industry
Bitumen plays a key role in the construction industry – from roofing felt production and asphalt mixing plants to special coatings. These highly viscous media place special demands on pump technology: temperature resistance, sealing systems and reliability are critical.
Both pure and filled bitumen mixtures with additives such as ash, sand, rubber or recycled materials require robust, application-specific pumps. Gear, centrifugal and rotary lobe pumps ensure reliable conveying, dosing and processing.
Together with its partners, BRIDGE Industry Consulting supports building material manufacturers, roofing felt producers and asphalt plants in selecting and integrating pumps and filtration systems tailored to the demanding requirements of construction and recycling processes.

Plant construction - process technology
Process engineering is often directly related to industrial pumps. Whether in engineering offices, plant construction, EPC, or in-house engineering, pumps are designed everywhere. It is advisable to consult directly with the manufacturers. This often reveals unknown possibilities, new perspectives, or opportunities for optimization. The world does not stand still, and new opportunities for optimization are constantly emerging in pump manufacturing. Industrial pumps are constantly evolving thanks to innovations in materials and process engineering, as well as advances in drive and sealing technology. A healthy exchange between plant construction, engineering, and pump manufacturers ensures mutual progress. BRIDE Industry Consulting is happy to support this process by facilitating communication and the exchange of experience. Together with our partners, we also offer advice and support in the design of suitable pump technology.
