It's a truck-mounted unit with a self-contained, fully insulated asphalt container and a conveyor system for continuous, year-round operation.

What are its key specifications and capacity? This unit has a container capacity of 1.8 cubic yards and is designed for a lean 19,500 lbs GVW chassis. This makes it an excellent solution for municipalities or contractors who need a powerful patcher in a compact, maneuverable package.

What kind of heating system does the patcher use? The Model BC 1.8 uses a Radiant Heat System with two propane-fueled cast manifold burners. The system is thermostatically controlled, with an adjustable temperature range of 100°F to 300°F, and features a 100% fuel shutoff if a burner is extinguished for enhanced safety.

What is unique about its conveyor system? The patcher uses a high-temperature, heavy-duty, 18-inch-wide Kevlar® belt for its conveyor system. The belt is reinforced to withstand temperatures up to 800°F and is designed for continuous, smooth operation. It is also reversible for added versatility.

What emulsion spray systems are available? The BC 1.8 can be equipped with either a CS Model compressed air type sprayer or a BH Model hydraulic pump sprayer. Both systems are designed to keep emulsion hot overnight and ensure a proper tack coat is applied for a durable, permanent patch.

How is the patcher designed for year-round operation? The entire unit is fully insulated with 2 inches of industrial fiberglass insulation and has hydraulically operated top-loading doors, allowing it to keep asphalt hot all day and night, even during the winter. It is also available with options like an auxiliary electric heat system for overnight heating.

What safety features are included?
