COVER STORY | ADVERTORIAL
The 24 ” twin head is a single blasting head for the Stripe HOG that features two 12 ” spray bars under a single shroud with zero overlap .
The HOG Tusk is a single head for the Stripe HOG that combines PCD teeth with 40,000 psi nozzles . You can grind , water blast , or perform both functions simultaneously .
the other solutions from HOG , it , too , is typically built on a full-sized chassis ; however , when HOG shifted from vertical kettles to lateral , an opportunity arose to create an Epoxy truck on a smaller chassis that did not require a CDL license to operate . The Epoxy HOG revolutionizes the way plural component trucks operate . Unlike competitive trucks , the Epoxy HOG only requires one burner ( vs three or four ), one glycol pump ( vs four to six ), and contains no glycol-jacketed lines . Mixing is also accomplished by pumping in the tank without any moving components which results in fewer moving parts buried in resin and / or catalyst . With lateral tanks under the deck , the Epoxy HOG eliminates a situation where you are leaving paint totes partially filled . Normally , a worker would attach a paint tote to their plural component truck and pump the material into the truck until the tank was full . If there was material leftover , rather than emptying the tote then attaching a new one to finish the filling process , a worker would just grab a new , full tote to use , creating wasted material . Since the kettles are gravity-fed , the tote stays on the truck until it is completely emptied . At that point , just switch the tote to store or continue the filling process . This also allows you to be selective in the material you bring such as the right color for the job or extra beads . Plus , all loading is instantaneous without the need for forklifts or a large staging area .
Thermo Pre-Melters
Of course , HOG couldn ’ t forget about one of the most popular pavement marking methods : thermoplastic . Their Thermo Pre-Melters use the same melting technology as their Thermo HOGs by placing two fully oil-jacketed lateral kettles within the deck that are equipped with a robust mixing and blending system . Temperatures never exceed 500 degrees which results in no burnt or charred material . Because the entire surface of the kettles are heated , there is no need to wait for the material to settle to the bottom as would normally be seen in direct-fire kettles . This means that an operator can instantly shutdown once they are finished at the job site . In addition , the heating up process takes roughly one hour to complete . The Pre-Melters are available on a non- CDL chassis or on a skid that you can mount to the chassis of your choice . There are even options for a seat for an operator
to place recessed pavement markers . New Innovation Coming Soon : Paint HOG Jr . The Paint HOG is HOG ’ s waterborne paint pavement marking solution . The previous iterations of the truck were available in both an atomized air and airless format and were typically built on larger chassis . Now , the Paint HOG Jr . uses HOG ’ s lateral kettle technology to provide extra room on the deck for paint totes which are gravity-fed into the kettles . This innovation has allowed HOG to shrink the overall footprint of the vehicle and build the Paint HOG on a chassis that does not require the use of a CDL license to operate . With these innovations , HOG now has non-CDL options in their water blasting , surface cleaning , pavement marking , and grinding / grooving / rumbling product lanes . For years , HOG has made the claim that they have your size and with these non-CDL options , that claim has never been more true .
