Several years ago I went to the National pavement expo. When I saw this I thought it was the wave of the future. I wanted Everblak Inc. to be the leader in our area to provide this service. We were determined that this was the best solution for small asphalt repair. After 2 years experience with 3 Infrared panels. I can tell you that we have gone back to using the mill and fill method. We believe it provides a more durable, esthetic, and long lasting repair in less time for less money.
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!
i never tried this one ... but i find mill and fill method pretty doing the work ... and i totally agree about the durability ... plus it is pretty fast if the team doing the work is organised ... but i have to ask since you have done it before ... how were the results of core testing for this kind of repair??
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?

beats the hell out of digging it up with a truck, hauling it off, purchasing new material, trucking it in, laying it. etc.
Great job guys !!
Was that tack spray all over the heated area?
Man if I could afford that machine I would be a multimillionaire in few years . Very minimal expenses lots of profit
You have the right idea !

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.
3- 100lb tanks sounds expensive to me
so the infrared actually melted the tar and now its just being re-worked to make it look brand new?
