Guy Miller, We missed putting that clip into this video. We always recommend using Rejuvenator in every patch.

We manufacture in Ontario Canada, but we have dealers all over. Where are you located?

It is a Vibco 3200, We also use a Bomag 55

It is a Rejuvenating agent that replaces the light oils that have Oxidized over the life of the pavement.

WIth Infrared There is no seam, Because we are heating it, we weld the edges together creating a watertight seamless joint.

seams are created by saw cuts that expose a cold edge for hot mix to but up against. IR heats that seam on both sides which cancels it out leaving a totally fused mat that only appears to have a seam because of the color contrast.

You have the right idea !

Can you Clarify ?

@@mattkies123 Sorry, I forget youtube is world wide sometimes. lol. "Shaft" was a movie from back in the 70's and the music sounded closely to its theme song. lol

Decca Robbo when done properly a infrared repair will last for many years, and can out last a typical saw cut repair. Like any process, there is a right way and a wrong way. We have all expierenced bad crack sealing , seal coating and paving jobs, that does not mean those process do not work. The right equipment has to be used and the crew running needs to be trained to use the equipment safley and , efficiently to allow for a long lasting repair

The bitumen(tar) only starts to burn off at 275F. Generally we will heat to 225-250 so the asphalt properties are not affected. This has been proven by Marshall tests on re-heated asphalt on joints by Tennessee and Arkansas DOT. These reports are available. Wr recommend addition of asphalt rejuvenator to help the oxidized asphalt become more pliable again and if the asphalt is overheated, this will help as well. . Tests sections have proven to extend the life of the pavement by 5 to 10 years. Call us and we will show you how well it works.

I'll be getting started on that very soon starting in Scranton.

TJ, By heating it with our infrared heater there is no loss of oils ( AC ). After the area has been scarified, we add a rejuvenating oil into the heated asphalt that both softens the asphalt and replaces the oils that has oxidized over the life of the pavement.

Hello Bob! mind if I ask what the unit costs to purchase?

The core test we have done shows that we do not alter the properties of the Asphalt. This will always be the case if the procedure is followed.

If the asphalt isnt too old, heat, rake, tack, mix in new, pack, call it good. But in my personal opinion, mill up the bad, heat the edges, tack, fill in with new, and then pack it.

We have heated joints on milled areas as well, this will give you a perfect fix, But still more costly when compared to the infrared process. The infrared process is meant for Smaller localized areas which mill and fill and saw cut would not be cost effective.

@@heatdesignequipment how is mill and fill even a considered option compared to IR? What sense does it make to mill out rocks and replace them with other rocks, especially since you can just fill a hole with crushed asphalt chunks mixed with RAS and rejuvenate everything once up to temp?

Joe The City of Nashville has one of their own and this work in Nashville is being done by one of our customers who has 6 of our truck units. Nashville tenders out about a million dollars a year of infrared repair. Try our unit!
