Joint Heater Packages from TF Technologies
The Joint Heater is an infrared propane/butane gas burner used on asphalt pavers, assisting in the construction of longitudinal joints.
The Joint Heater will preheat the edge of the previously laid cold lane just prior to placing the new hot mix lane next to it. This approach ensures optimal conditions for a consistent continuous weld of the fresh and previously laid mats, preventing premature cracking of
the joint, and in most cases enhance joint density.
The simple, yet highly effective Joint Heater comprises an aluminum frame with three or six burner heads, and an electrical circuit that will open the gas flow and ignite the gas in the burners, when 12vdc or 24vdc power is applied to the circuit. Producing up to 23,500 BTU of heat per foot, the heater packages are modular in nature and sections can be assembled together to provide adequate heating for each respective project based on paving speed, ambient weather and surface conditions.
The built-in Constant Spark module will produce sparks continuously during operation to re-ignite the gas on flame blow out. The Joint Heater includes power lead and gas hose.
A Joint Heater Extension Kit is available to connect the 6 burner and 3 burner version for a 9 burner Joint Heater, or coupling two each 6 burner sections to provide a 12 burner package.
