Infrared, meaning below red, is an invisible wavelength that carries heat. Our repair unit uses this to recycle asphalt in-place. It's heating elements produce intense infrared wavelengths that are directed into the asphalt surface. When the asphalt gets over 300 degrees it can be reworked, allowing new asphalt to be added, the surface is then leveled and rolled.

Specifications:
Only use of indirect fired infrared units are allowed. Direct flames are not.
At least 3 cubic feet of new asphalt, that has had it's heat maintained at usable temperature, to be spread out uniformly on the surface of each 5' x 7' patch. A minimum of a 1 ton vibratory roller required to roll the leveled patch.
