Pyrotech Asphalt Equipment Mfg. Co. Ltd.

Pyrotech Asphalt Equipment Mfg. Co. Ltd.

Pyrotech Asphalt Equipment manufactures the PYROPAVER (TM) series of hot in-place asphalt recycling systems. The PYROPAVER (TM) 300E performs the recycling of asphalt concrete pavements to exacting standards and incorporates a full emission control system.


The advantages of Pyropaving are: On-board incineration for environmentally and ecologically sound operation; Pavement quality restored to like new condition; Safety and convenience for the travelling public; Tremendous cost savings: The economy of hot in-place recycling is unmatched by any other rehabilitation process while still offering the most environmentally friendly method of resurfacing paved roads.


Two-Stage Technology:
Two-stage recycling means the sequential heating and removing of two separate layers of asphalt in one continuous operation. Chief among the benefits of two-stage recycling at the 2 to 2-1/2 inch depths achievable are the speed and convenience of operation, the lack of damage to asphalt properties, the excellent ride quality of the finished surface, and the substantial cost savings. The Pyropaver 300E is the culmination of years of practical experience by the creators of the two-stage process technology and represents the cutting edge of hot in-place asphalt recycling. The Pyropaver 300E is the first hot in-place asphalt recycling system to operate virtually smoke free which means that even urban areas are now able to utilize hot in-place recycling without jeopardizing air quality.


Environmental Impact:
Material savings are a major benefit of Pyropaving. Pyropaving reduces construction-caused emissions. Ninety percent of the fuel used by the Pyropaver 300E is propane which is a very clean-burning energy source. Delayed traffic is another source of atmospheric emissions and a cause of increased fuel consumption. A Pyropaver train is the least difficult disruption for motorists. It creates the shortest traffic delay of all resurfacing methods. A conservative comparison of rehabilitation options is shown in the following table and it is evident that Pyropaver two-stage hot in-place recycling has an undeniable impact on the future of these precious non-renewable resources.


Economic Benefits:
There are three major reasons for the substantial savings created by Pyropaving, all of which are possible because of the effectiveness and efficiency of the two-stage Pyropaver process: - Little or no oil or aggregate must be purchased - Process is usually used only for traveled lanes - No barrier removals or curb alterations are needed. The timely use of Pyropaving to remedy poor pavement conditions is a cost-effective option for the government jurisdiction. Municipal roads and streets are excellent candidates for hot in-place recycling. The Pyropaver 300E causes minimal disruption for the business owner because the train moves quickly through the neighborhood and requires no subsequent construction to cause further delays.


Pyropaving Applications:
Pyropaving can be done for many types of surface distress. The Pyropaver 300E will interrupt surface cracking, raveling and rutting. Although it can be used as a stand-alone maintenance alternative, the design engineer may also use the Pyropaver to recycle the bottom lift and place virgin hot mix for the final lift.


Engineering Considerations:
The Pyropaver 300E has been designed to give pavement engineers maximum flexibility in asphalt mix design changes depending on deficiencies found in the lab test. Penetration and viscosity values of the asphalt cement can be modified easily by the addition of an appropriate amount of rejuvenating agent. If mix design values require improvement, this can be done by adding the appropriate ad mixture aggregate to improve the gradation. The company has sold these systems in Canada, the United States, Sweden, Mexico and Korea and maintains an active marketing and sales force throughout most of the world.

Asphalt Recycling Machine - Hot In-place

Pyropaver .
We manufacture the PYROPAVER (TM) series of hot in-place asphalt recycling systems. The PYROPAVER (TM) 300E performs the recycling of asphalt concrete pavements to exacting standards, and incorporates a full emission control system. The system provides a proven method of recycling asphalt to a depth of 2' and has the ability to add rejuvenates and virgin asphalt if and as required. Although it is often used as a stand-alone maintenance alternative, the design engineer may also use the PYROPAVER (TM) 300E to recycle the bottom lift and place virgin hot mix for the final lift. The productivity of the PYROPAVER (TM) 300E depends on asphalt condition, depth of operation as well as ambient and surface temperatures. These factors impact on heat penetration which, in turn, determines the speed of operation. On average, the system has the ability to recycle to a depth of 2' at a speed of 20 ft./min. or approximately 2 lane miles/day.
