ASPHALT STORAGE
ASPHALT RECLAIMERS
OVERVIEW
​
HOTMIX Anytime Anyplace!
The HDE Asphalt Hotbox Reclaimer efficiently maintains asphalt temperature, offering a dual functionality of keeping virgin asphalt hot and re-heating cold material to workable temperatures. This versatile system is a year-round solution, whether sourcing material from local asphalt plants or recycling leftover asphalt to create hot patching material, even in the depths of winter.
Our reclaimers will efficiently re-heat leftover material eliminating disposal needs and significantly reduces the amount of cold patch material required for repairs. The process typically takes 8-12 hours, varying with ambient temperatures and the amount of asphalt being heated. This is easily achieved with advanced features to enhance operational flexibility and convenience. These units allow you to keep the reclaimer running while traveling down the road, eliminating the need to shut it down during transport, and allows for unsupervised overnight operation when placed outdoors.
Utilizing a digital temperature controller, the system ensures safe heating, automatically turning off heaters at a preset temperature (e.g., 300 °F) to prevent asphalt burning.​

ASPHALT RECLAIMERS
(TRUCK & SKID MOUNTED)
OVERVIEW
The HDE Asphalt Hotbox Reclaimer side chute model is designed to be mounted on a truck deck. Out Hotbox reclaimers are capable of both maintaining the temperature of virgin asphalt and re-heating cold material to workable temperatures. The HDE asphalt hotbox reclaimer can be used 365 days a year whether it is using material from the local asphalt plant or recycling left-over material to create hot patching material in the middle of winter. Re-heating left over material eliminates the need of disposal and can drastically reduce the amount of cold patch material needed to repair problem areas. The re-heating process can take 8-12 hours depending on the ambient temperatures and the amount of asphalt that is being heated. By the use of a digital temperature controller you are able to heat the asphalt safely until it is pliable and workable. The controller prevents any burning of the asphalt by turning the heaters of at a pre-set temperature (e.g. 300 °F.).
The HDE hotbox reclaimer will maintain proper working temperature of the asphalt for up to 48 hours. The hopper is heated by two infrared heaters. A PLC (programmable logic controller) monitors the hopper temperature and powers the hotbox to maintain the pre-set temperature. The automatic spark ignition has a built in safety that will automatically shut the gas off if there is a failure in ignition. The HDE infrared heaters allow for uniform heat without overheating the asphalt. Ventilation in the box allows the hot air to move evenly around the box while vents inside the hopper allow hot air from the heating chamber to heat the top portion of the asphalt in the hopper. The dual hopper allows for better heat distribution when being used as a hotbox and assists in the reclaiming of cold asphalt. The loading doors open to form a chute for easy loading of virgin hot mix at the plant. Unloading doors automatically lock in the up position to prevent accidental closing while removing the asphalt as well the sloped dual hoppers aid in removal of the hot mix.
The heat is fueled by one or more 100 pound vapor drawn LPG tank with a quick fill multi-valve. This eliminates the need to switch tanks and allows the operator to fill up at any propane depot. Our hotbox reclaimers can operate for up to 3 days before requiring a re-fill of propane (dependent on hotbox size).

STATIC HOTBOX
OVERVIEW
Heat Design Equipment is pleased to be the Exclusive North American Manufacture of the Proteus Static Hot Box. This system is the ideal way to reduce costs on small asphalt works. They allow you to buy materials in bulk, store them on-site or in your yard, then load out into your own vehicles as and when you need them and in the quantities, you need them. This means you can cut back on expensive trips sending multiple gangs to and from the asphalt plant, saving you time and money.
The range of static tarmac Hot Boxes now includes diesel and kerosene-fueled asphalt containers as well as our traditional propane gas Hot Boxes.
The static Hot box is also a great addition to running a Asphalt Recycler Operation. With the addition of the Static Hot box it allows you to store larger quantities of asphalt for large utility cuts and pothole operations.
All our static Hot Boxes are available for rent as well as to buy, for periods as short as four weeks. We also offer beneficial rates for long-term rentals. If you have a requirement and would like to get a rental quote, just give us a call or send an email.
