ASPHALT PATCHERS
OVERVIEW
The HDE Asphalt Patchers have been used successfully in northern climates where paving becomes a problem in colder months with ambient temperatures below specifications set out by the agencies. If asphalt cools too quickly before proper compaction, problems such as lack of bond, raveling, non-uniform consolidation and rutting, high moisture penetration and increased cracking may occur. A contractor can avoid costly scheduling delays waiting for paving approval on ambient temperatures, and improve quality by using an HDE Infrared Asphalt Patcher to per-heat the base asphalt prior to surface course application.
P800 - 8.6' x 6.6' - 8 Heat Zones (can be upgraded)
P1200 - 12.6' x 6.6' - 12 Heat Zones (can be upgraded)
P1600 - 16.6' x 6.6' - 16 Heat Zones
The highly efficient infrared heaters can soften 2.5" of surface course asphalt to temperatures of 220°F in 5-10 minutes. This enable scarification, re-leveling and compaction without burning the surface of the asphalt. With up to 16 independent heat zones the operator is able to vary patch sizes by simply turning the heaters off that are not required. This reduces propane costs and time required to complete the repair.

FEATURES
PATENTED CARTRIDGE SYSTEM
-
HDE's replaceable ceramic cartridge allows for easy replacement of the heating element.
-
Typical cartridge life is about 1,500 hours, and can be changed in less than 20 minutes.
-
This patented design prevents the heat from transferring to the heater plenum (top), thus extending the life of the heater.
SKID STEER ATTACHMENTS
OVERVIEW
The HDE skid steer unit is designed to operate as a multi-functional asphalt heater. It can function as an Infrared heater to economically repair potholes, surface cracks, bad joints, bird baths, and around catch basins, and manholes. The highly efficient infrared heaters can soften 2.5″ of asphalt to temperatures of 220 F to be scarified and re-leveled and compacted in 5 to 10 minutes, with out burning the surface of the asphalt.
The HDE skid steer heater has also proven itself as a successful pre-heater. In northern climates, paving becomes a problem in colder months, when ambient temperatures do not meet the specifications set out by the governing officials. When asphalt surfaces cool too quickly, before proper compaction, problems such as raveling, non-uniform consolidation and rutting, high moisture penetration and Increased cracking may occur. A contractor can save money on scheduling while increasing quality by pre-heating the base asphalt prior to surface course application.
Once the heater is operating the heater is easily controlled by the in cab remote control. The remote features a high-low selector switch, indicator lights and an emergency stop button.
