on these types of repairs and will be productive and cost effective--and do a great job for you ,” said Roger Filion , president of Kasi Infrared , Claremont N . H . “ If you are doing larger pot holes , utility cuts , man holes , and trench repairs or many other types of larger repairs or even the occasional small repair with a bigger machine , this is no problem--you certainly can complete small repairs with a larger machine . “ The bigger infrared panel will be your best choice for roadways , large parking lots or any repairs that you need to achieve great production . High production means more profits for you , so you will want to look at 48-square-foot or even the 78-squarefoot machines to get big production numbers day in and day out .”
Fillion added , “ Keep in mind that with any infrared machine they can all overlap and do continuous heats . We have completed 100-yard and 200-yard runs one behind the other all day long . In these types of jobs , you should be getting about 40 to 50 heats a day with a two-man crew and a 48-square-foot panel . Same is true with wider repairs again you overlap six-inches and continue until you complete the repair .” Every job is different and there is a different sized and shaped heater designed to work better on some jobs than others . It is always best to match the asphalt infrared heater to the repair to ensure the best outcome . “ While there ’ s no one-size-fits-all heater , we have found that a 6 ’ x 8 ’ heating chamber is the most popular size we sell because it is very versatile in the number of jobs for which it will work ,” stated Wes Van Velsor , vice president of Ray-Tech Infrared Corp ., Charlestown , N . H . “ The size is not too big to complete driveways and parking lots and still is plenty large for most roadway and highway work , which makes it a good all-around configuration .” Certain types of applications require a certain size asphalt heater to achieve quality results .
