Infrared Heater
Infrared Heaters are key to the process because they heat and soften the asphalt allowing it to be worked in order to eliminate cracks and imperfections. There are a variety of heater sizes based on the size of repair and speed with which you want to repair a certain area.
Heat Design Equipment (HDE) makes top of the line products for heating asphalt. Their heaters are split into 3 general sizes:
-
Mini Heaters: HDE's Mini Heaters have been used in the field for many of the following applications; Alligator Cracks, Catch Basins, Decorative Asphalt, Weed Killing, Front Removal, Tennis Court Repairs, & Parking Deck Repairs.
Sizes vary from 24"x24" heating area to 52" x 72" heating area. These heaters are moved by hand and/or on castors.
-
Full Sized (Towed) Heaters: Larger sized heaters built into trailers that are used for creating larger repair areas in a shorter period of time. These heaters can soften 2.5" of surface course asphalt to workable temperature in 5-10 minutes. Each of these heaters have a heat area that is 6'6" wide but vary in length from 8'6" to 16'6". Up to 16 independent heat zones allow the operator to adjust the size of the repair area.
-
Skid Steer Attachments - Similar to the Full Sized Heaters in function but designed to be moved using a skid steer type unit. Heat level is controlled remotely from inside the cab.
