Reclaim waste asphalt into permanent patch material. 

Cold material placed in unit will be totally reclaimed within 16 hours.  Skin temperature will not exceed 320 degrees while reclaiming.

Controls will automatically reduce skin temperature to 300 degrees maximum after material has been reclaimed, allowing material to be held for an extended period of time (approximately 48 hours) for reclaimed material and/or plant mix. 

Fuel efficient, thermostatically controlled Infrared heating allows you to reclaim, hold and store asphalt at the proper working temperature. 

Enables you to use asphalt where and when you want it, regardless of the season.
Reclaiming stockpiled plant mix makes cold patch obsolete. 

Available in two, four, six and eight ton capacities.

Mini-Tech

Our Infrared Asphalt Heaters allow you to repair potholes, utility cuts, even to do cold weather restoration efficiently and permanently. The infrared heat produced penetrates quickly and deeply softening the underlying asphalt without oxidation or burning. By raking in new hot material, as needed to bring it up to grade, followed by proper compaction, a thermal bond will be created to the surrounding area. Thermal bonding provides better patches at lower cost, and infrared does not flame or alter the binding effect of the asphalt.

                The Most Important Feature of our Pavement Heater is in the design of our CONVERTERS.

It is this design that enables the Ray-Tech Pavement Heaters to provide you with the fastest and most efficient Asphalt Restoration Equipment available in the industry. The infrared heating rays are created by pre-mixed gas and air delivered under pressure to a series of energy converters. The converters are composed of the following:

A) A manifold formed in such a way as to create a rigid array of apertures, which ensures a consistent even flow of fuel-air mixture. The manifold is composed of 30" and/or 36" segments, in order to accommodate the proper expansion and contraction of the arrangement throughout the temperature range encountered.

B)  The orifice strip which feeds the air-gas mixture, from the manifold, into the combustion area. This welded laminated array ensures uniformity of apertures and long-term durability under intensive use.

C)    The assembly of the manifold and orifice strip is designed for rigidity and reliability throughout the repeated heating and cooling cycles, intrinsic to infrared equipment. The manifold and orifice strip are held together using heliarc welding, in order to ensure reliability and strength of the union.

D)   The manifolds use stainless steel reflectors, in order to ensure the proper deflection of the infrared rays toward the asphalt pavement.

E)  The grid part of the converters are made of high-temperature nickel alloy material, and serve both to limit the combustion area, and to serve as the body which emits the infrared rays.

The heater unit is a single or dual system. In the case of a dual system, each half operates independently. The system can be fired in any position, vertical or horizontal. The system has a maximum fuel consumption of 0.410 lbs. per square foot per hour, or 8,950 BTU per square foot per hour.

• Bonds old and new asphalt for permanent joint-free repairs.
• Eliminates removal and transporting of old asphalt.
• Restores asphalt permanently, regardless of the season.
• Exclusive Ray-Tech infrared converters assure years of fast trouble-free heating.

Combination Units

Mini Combo

Total Maintenace Vehicle (T.M.V.)

Our most popular starter unit, combining the best
features of our RC4000 CM/S  two (2) ton Reclaimer
and Tech 48  pavement heater, mounted on a dual axle
trailer. Also available in a four (4) ton box configuration.
The rapid payback for this equipment will far exceed your expectations.

The ideal unit for any Contractor or Municipality. Everything custom mounted directly onto a truck chassis; four (4) ton reclaimer, compactor space, side dump waste bin and rear mounted 8 ft x 6 ft infrared pavement heater. Ray-Tech will custom design the unit based on truck dimensions and specifications/selected options. Also available in two (2) and six (6) ton configurations. Enjoy the benefits of having a custom unit to fit your specific needs.

All of our Combination units give you the advantage of having both an infrared asphalt reclaimer and infrared pavement heater on one unit. The chamber at the rear of the unit, as well as having availability of  hot asphalt mix, gives you the capability to make permanent restorations year round; not just a patch. We offer a variety of unit designs and options to fit your individual needs. All units are designed for high production of quality pavement restoration.

Asphalt Joint Heating System

Paver Unit

Pre-Heater

At Ray-Tech Infrared we take pride in building efficient road maintenance equipment. The Ray-Tech Joint Heating System employs our many years of experience with infrared technology.  In using our proven Ray-Tech Infrared converters in the system, we bring to the asphalt paving industry a means of eliminating a problem that is as old as the industry itself. Cold Joint Bonding. The cold joint has been consistently the weakest and most troublesome part of the pavement. Combined with the poorly compacted joint area of the previously laid pass, it is predisposed to failure. It has been our goal to develop, produce and provide equipment capable of counter acting this problem. At Ray-Tech Infrared we have accomplished this goal. The equipment we offer has been designed as a heating system and must be used as such to attain the desired results.

This system has been designed to eliminate the cold joint and density problems inherent to longitudinal asphalt paving joints. The pre-heating units in conjunction with the paver mounted unit provide a dependable system that can be adjusted to most paving conditions. The fully automatic heating system not only protects against overheating of pavement, it also provides ease of operation for consistently dependable results.

• Eliminate cold joints 
• Infrared in-depth heat 
• No damage to asphalt
• Fully automatic temperature controls on all units
• Regain density at joint lost to unconfined compaction
• It's Like Having NO Joint at All!
