Advertorial operate the truck and minimizes worker fatigue. The material deck (depending on configuration) can hold up to 4-8 pallets of the un-melted material per thermo- plastic truck. A smaller more efficient pump When the thermoplastic is melted in the Hog Melter, it is then transferred to the guns and recirculated via our Hog Pump. The Hog Pump was specifically designed to pump thermoplastic with engineered cavity clearances to minimize wear from abrasives extending the pump’s lifetime. The Hog Pump is 75% smaller and 371 lbs. lighter than the widely used pumps you see on trucks today. Not only is the Hog Pump smaller but if it ever needs to be repaired, those repairs can be per- formed without ever having to remove www.callape.com COVER STORY Hog Technologies reimagined the thermoplastic longline truck when it designed the Thermo Hog. [10] the Hog Pump from the chassis and costs about half as much as it does to repair/ replace a traditional pump. The Hog Pump isn’t just for our Ther- mo Hog; it can be retrofitted onto any ex- isting thermoplastic truck including but not limited to MRL, M-B, & Arrow. We offer an adaptor kit for each brand that allows the Hog Pump to easily replace ex- isting pumps and with no modification to the truck’s hydraulics. This is the type of innovation that caused Waterblasting Technologies to transform into Hog Technologies. Now manufac- turing an entire Hog Family of products providing a wide arrange of solutions to the road, highway, and airport industries in- cluding the Paint Hog, Rumble Hog, Sur- face Hog, Concrete Hog, and Grinder Hog in addition to award-winning Stripe Hog. 1.800.210.5923
