Infrared asphalt heaters heat up and soften a localized area of the surface coating of asphalt, so that it can be re-worked and recompacted to eliminate surface deterioration.
The highly-efficient infrared heater will soften asphalt to its original mixing temperature in just five to 10 minutes. That means it is easy to repair asphalt quickly, as though you were laying it fresh.
The RY2X2 uses actual infrared heating (not blue flame heating) through a ceramic mesh cartridge. This provides the best heat distribution of any heater in its class.
Potholes, surface cracks, bad joints, bird baths, catch basins and manholes can be economically repaired with minimal time spent, and minor traffic re-routing needed.
Save time cutting and re-pouring asphalt - simply heat, re-use and you're done!
