POTHOLE REPAIR PRODUCT AND MOBILE APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AN ASPHALT PATCH

摘要

A mobile apparatus for the repair of potholes in an asphalt paved surface is described. The apparatus comprises a motor vehicle having a cab and a support platform. A first storage bin for the containment of recycled shingle particles of a predetermined size range or recycled asphalt or combinations thereof. A first conveyor is provided for conveying the particles or recycled asphalt from the first storage bin to an inlet of a radiant heated transport mixing conveyor. A second storage bin for the containment of stone aggregate of a predetermined size range. A second conveyor for conveying and pre-heating the stone aggregate to the inlet of said radiant heated transport mixing conveyor. An asphaltic oil reservoir having a pump at an outlet thereof for feeding a predetermined quantity of the asphaltic oil at the inlet of the radiant heated transport mixing conveyor. The radiant heated transport mixing conveyor having conveying vanes for displacing, mixing and heating the stone aggregate, the recycled asphalt particles or recycled asphalt or combinations thereof and the asphaltic oil to produce an asphalt patch material and feeding same to a dispensing outlet. A controller controls the operation of the first and second conveyors, the pump and the radiant heated transport mixing conveyor.
