Blacktopper

The Etnyre Blacktopper Centennial asphalt distributor offers an option for electric heat strips mounted to the belly of the asphalt tank. These electric heat strips can be plugged into a source of power for overnight heat maintenance or with the optional onboard hydraulic driven generator the electric heat strips can be energized as required in transit or while on the job. An additional circuit can be added to apply heat to the asphalt pump to assist in fast easy start ups. The electric heat strips are not intended to heat up cold asphalt or replace the burner-flue system but to supplement and help maintain temperatures.
