COVER STORY Advertorial Hogging the Road Hog Technologies expands family yet again with cutting-edge Thermo Hog Performance Seal and Striping laying double yellow and white lines og Technologies, formerly Water- blasting Technologies has built its 30+ year reputation on its Stripe Hog water blasting system which removed markings from roads and high- ways. Through that same knowledge and innovation, Hog Technologies expanded its business into the road marking indus- try with its revolutionary Thermo Hog. www.callape.com Introducing a better way to apply thermoplastic markings The Thermo Hog is a processing plant that uses heated oil to evenly heat the sur- face of the Hog Melter, resulting in 41x the heated surface area than a convention- al melter. The Hog Melter never exceeds 550 degrees which ensures that thermo- plastic material will never scorch or burn and the glass beads will never melt. This [6] allows for instantaneous shutdown with- out having to wait for the thermoplastic to cool. Starting up is also ultra-fast. The Ther- mo Hog can go from cold to operational in about one hour. Since the Hog Melter heats the surface evenly, it doesn’t matter where the thermoplastic and beads settle, they will re-melt once the truck heats up once again, clog free. 1.800.210.5923
