Asphalt Cleaning Machines & Surface Preparation
Asphalt cleaning machines are indispensable tools in the realm of asphalt maintenance, offering an array of benefits that significantly enhance job efficiency and profitability. These machines encompass a variety of specialized equipment, including edger machines equipped with wire brushes, heat lances, rotary brooms, and sweepers, as well as powerful blowing machines. Their primary purpose is to prepare the asphalt surface before crucial tasks like crack filling and asphalt sealcoating can be undertaken. Here's why customers need these machines and the advantages they bring:
Why You Need Asphalt Surface Preparation Tools
1. Enhanced Surface Preparation: Asphalt surfaces can accumulate dirt, debris, and even residual oils, which can impede the adhesion and effectiveness of crack fillers and seal coating materials. Cleaning machines, such as rotary brooms and sweepers, ensure thorough surface preparation, creating an ideal substrate for subsequent maintenance procedures.
2. Improved Efficiency: By automating the cleaning process, these machines save valuable time and labor costs. Edger machines with wire brushes, for instance, allow for precise cleaning along edges and tight spaces, reducing the need for manual labor and increasing overall job efficiency.
3. Cost Savings: Efficient cleaning not only reduces labor expenses but also minimizes the material wastage commonly associated with applying crack fillers and sealcoating over dirty surfaces. This, in turn, lowers material costs and boosts profitability.
4. Quality Assurance: Properly cleaned asphalt surfaces lead to superior adhesion and longevity of sealants and coatings, ensuring that the maintenance work will stand the test of time. This quality assurance translates into satisfied customers and potentially repeat business.
5. Professionalism: Utilizing asphalt cleaning machines demonstrates a commitment to professionalism and high-quality work, instilling confidence in clients and setting your services apart from competitors.
How to Clean & Prepare Asphalt for Crack Filling & Proper Sealcoating
1. Clean all dirt and debris - Make sure you thoroughly clean all dirt and debris from edges, bumps, depressions, and potholes.
DIYers - We recommend sweeping with our 16" asphalt cleaner broom to sweep and the Landshark leaf blower to blow the debris away simultaneously.
Contractors - For cleaning deep cracks, you'll need the Hedgehog asphalt crack cleaning machine. If you have weeds and water deep in the cracks, you'll need our asphalt crack cleaning lance.
2. Fix all potholes and fill all cracks - Next, it is important to fill all potholes and fill all cracks. If you sealcoat over cracks and potholes, it will cause problems for you in the future.
For DIYers, we recommend this cold pothole patch, and for contractors, this pothole package works awesome. And for filling cracks, the RY10 Pro crack filling machine is the best on the market.
3. Time for sealcoating! - Once the asphalt is clean, you're ready to sealcoat! Having a clean surface that is free of debris will allow the sealcoat to adhere to the surface, ensuring a long-lasting sealcoat application.
