Item 12 - KM 8000T ASPHALT HOTBOX RECLAIMER TRAILER UNIT
GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
The intent of this specification is to describe the asphalt hotbox reclaimer
unit designed to manage up to four (4) tons (8,000 lbs) of plant asphalt
road mix.
The unit is designed as a trailer and the hotbox cannot be removed from
the trailer framework.
The unit offers the user the ability to maintain hot mix asphalt or cold
patch material at workable temperatures for up to 60 hours continuously.
Variables in the asphalt will determine the actual limits during this
process.
The described unit also offers to the user the option to “reclaim” asphalt
hot mix from ambient storage temperature to usable hot mix form.
A time frame for the reclaiming process can only be determined by “hands
on experience” due to variables such as ambient temperatures during the
process, age of the material to be reclaimed, volume of material to be
reclaimed, etc.
Included in this specification for the trailer mounted unit are options
which are commonly used with this type of equipment.
Option pieces included with this specification are heated tack tank, tack
spray pump, solvent tank, utility hand torch, arrow board or safety beacon
light, loading winch and davit, tool rack, diesel fired burner, dump box,
larger capacity LPG cylinders, low temperature thermostat and hydraulic
surge brakes.
The concept of maintaining and reclaiming asphalt hot mix is not
technologically new.
The process has been used in some form for more than three decades.
The increasing pressure to minimize costs by efficiently maintaining and
repairing bituminous surfaces, along with technological manufacturing
advances have increased the need for this type of equipment.
The described unit uses heat to transfer energy into the stored asphalt.
The heat is produced by vapor withdraw of liquefied petroleum (propane)
gas in a burner system.
Energy is transferred by means of convection within the unit from the
burner to the interior walls of the storage bin.
