Is a hotbox really needed? Can't you just sprinkle some sifted millings into the damaged area and heat everything up together with the IR? It seems wasteful to heat up and transport materials that might not even get used that day.
That model is advertised at 16 sq ft. But it looks like it can really only do about a 2x2 patch. I'm in the market for an infrared and thought this model would be the ticket. But now I'm thinking you could only do really small patches with that thing,
It heats up a 4x4 area, but you have to leave a hot perimeter to ensure the hot to hot bond. They could have made the patch roughly 3.5' x 3.5', but for whatever reason they only cut it to 2x2ish.
Steven smith what do you do to ensure patch is actually level with surrounding asphalt? as in no depression or no hill? seems a guessing game and I'm not comfortable with that.
@@01mustang05 They are using a tamper instead of a roller like the original installation. So they can not pack it as tightly. Same method my company uses and I ensure you there is no depression, even after years. Saw cuts have a tendency to depress due to the base being compacted quickly and not being able to settle. So after time the patch depresses. With infrared you are not disturbing the original base.
Love your Company.You guys make some of the best Cutting edge equipment in the business
I never seen somebody make love to a patch as much as that guy did looten that patch
Professional job. Thanks man.

Great looking machien we would love to import them to Australia
If you have fabrication skills, they're not too difficult to make your own.
Sorry, but the video quality is crappy, shaky and grainy. Try again!
i can see your not a tarmacer. you just took out some of the tarmac so you will make a depression in the pach
They are just showing the procedure without adding asphalt. I see you're not much of a speller.

Just lay the tarmac 15mm higher at 30mm depth

@@adamwarlow7066 so how do you account for the extra material that was removed from the patch?
This man has no idea what he is doing
You are not a tarmac raker. Lol.
