  • Patent number: 10226785
    Abstract: The invention generally relates to a surface treatment distribution apparatus and spray assembly apparatus method capable of applying a variety of surface treatments, for example mastic surface treatments, to a variety of highways, roadways and other asphalt surfaces of variable shapes and sizes. The invention generally includes a tank, pumps, operator station, control inputs, filter assemblies, spray bar and self cleaning spray tip assemblies. Each spray tip assembly includes a self cleaning functionality whereby the operator may remove any debris or clogging material from one or more spray tips with a pneumatically actuated plunger located in the spray tip assembly that acts to force the debris or blockage out of the spray tip. The plunger retracts after actuation and the spray tip assembly is then ready to resume spray operations as desired by the operator.

  • Publication number: 20160319494
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus and method comprising a portable mastic sealer production process which allows an operator to locate the mastic sealer production equipment in the vicinity of the roadway worksite. The apparatus comprises two mobile trailers, one comprising the clay plant and the other comprising the mastic plant. The clay plant is a trailer based mobile mixing plant with a mixing tank for mixing proportioning and mixing a clay slurry which is then stored in a clay slurry storage tank. The mastic plant is a trailer based mobile mixing plant which mixes the clay slurry received from the mobile clay mixing plant with polymers, aggregate and other desired additives to form the mastic sealant. The mixed sealant is then transferred to a finished mastic storage tank or spraying equipment to provide an available supply of mastic sealant for operations at the roadway worksite.
