ASPHALT SEALANT WARMING
An easy way to warm asphalt sealant in IBC/Tote tanks
Application
Asphalt sealants are used to enhance and protect asphalt by filling
cracks or sealing entire surfaces. Often they are kept in large IBC/
tote tanks for bulk storage and/or transportation to a job site.
They are typically thick and hard to extract from the IBC/Tote tank
through a hose or applicator without preheating. Preheating or
keeping asphalt sealants warm reduces viscosity and makes them
much easier to extract. Common application temperatures are
around 125°F (59°C). In cooler environments or outdoors, it can be
extremely difficult or nearly impossible to apply without preheating
the material and keeping it warm.
Solution
BriskHeat TOTEW series heaters installed on the tank provide the
heat and insulation necessary to keep asphalt sealants at an
optimum operating temperature, even outdoors in cold weather.
TOTEW series heaters are adjustable fitting full-coverage heaters
with insulation and built-in temperature controller. No special
wiring or equipment needed, these heaters are plug-and-play
ready for maximum efficiency and ease-of-use. A built-in high-limit
cut-off feature ensures safe use. Since the heater wraps around
the outside of the IBC/Tote it never comes into contact with the
material avoiding contamination or scorching and can easily be
installed and removed as needed. The adjustable-fit design wraps
around any size IBC/Tote tank 170 to 330 gallons (640 to 1250
litres). If a moisture resistant heater is not required, BriskHeat’s
TOTE wrap-around IBC/tote tank heaters will provide the solution.
