Description

If maximum coverage area is what you're looking for in an infrared pavement heater, the BIG A KM 4-48 is the largest we offer. Covering up to 48 sq ft of asphalt pavement across 4 heating zones, the BIG A KM 4-48 is about as big as you can get before moving up to a dedicated infrared road repair unit. This infrared heater is uniquely designed as a fold-up system that converts from a pull-behind trailer, to an in-place pavement heater, built with quality and functionality in mind.

Purpose

The main purpose of using an in-place infrared pavement heater, is to recycle existing asphalt without cutting out the old, by raising it to the temperature that is required for proper hot mix asphalt. (usually around 350º F)

By raising the temperature of the existing asphalt and softening the existing binder, it allows the old asphalt to be re-used, rejuvenated and mixed with new patch to creates a "like new" repairs, without the overhead of cutting out the entire asphalt section and filling it back in with all new hot asphalt patch. In reality, if you have an infrared asphalt heater, the only time a full cut and replacement is necessary is when the sub-grade needs fixing. Why go to the trouble of cutting and removing the old when you can simply just re-use it in place?

Benefit

What you get with a BIG A KM 4-48 Infrared Pavement Heater is a unique trailer design that folds up and allows you to transport it with a regular pick-up truck. Throw a hot box reclaimer ready with hot mix asphalt in the bed of the pickup truck and you ready to do some serious asphalt patch work.

Only costing several thousand more than our smaller BIG A KM 4-40, this 48 sq ft in-place pavement heater is perfect for city maintenance and contractors who need the biggest unit they can get.

Usage

The benefit to owning a BIG A KM 4-40 In-Place Infrared Asphalt Recycling Heater is the unique trailer design that folds up and allows you to transport it with a regular pick-up truck. Throw a hot box reclaimer ready with hot mix asphalt in the bed of the pickup truck and you ready to do some serious asphalt patch work.

Costing several thousand less than our larger 48 sq ft model, this 40 sq ft in-place infrared recycling heater is perfect for city maintenance and contracting professionals on a very strict budget who need something larger or more convenient than a 22 sq ft model.

Heat Cycling Technology

The BIG A KM 2-18X heating is controlled by an automatic timed on/off heating cycle, setup to be 53 seconds on and 10 seconds off. This maintains proper temperature within the heating elements and allows a more efficient use of fuel consumption. By alternating the heating cycles on this portable infrared asphalt heater, it minimizes the chance of burning the asphalt. In addition, this unit is built with a one shot timer that will turn off after 10 minutes of heating to eliminate the potential cooking or overheating of the asphalt.
