Jetpatcher Machine provides a cost-effective way of maintaining the wearing surfaces of asphalt roads, car parks, footpaths, and industrial areas, including repairs of potholes, crack seals, etc.
The Jetpatcher uses a four-stage process:
The trouble area is cleaned and prepared, sealed, filled, cured and ready for traffic in one smooth operation. Semi-permanent repairs are made with bitumen emulsion, lasting as long as repairs using hot rolled asphalt. Most repairs are completed in under 15 minutes. Repairs are ready to be driven over very soon after they have been made Jetpatcher uses a four-stage process:
- Cleaned-using the high volume blower, the Jetpatcher easily blows all loose debris and even water from the pothole cleaning it and preparing the hole for an effective patch
- Prepared-the Jetpatcher now coats the pothole with an asphalt emulsion which seals the pothole and prevents further damage from occurring due to moisture
- Filled-as the aggregate passes through the nozzle it is coated with emulsion and sprayed into the hole or broken road edge. The Jetpatcher asphalt mix is sprayed at speed of 100 km ph, and compaction from the bottom up is achieved, denser than rolled asphalt.
- Sealed-the wet top of the required area can now be protected from traffic flow, using either dry aggregate sprayed from the Jetpatcher or for inner city work where a loose chip is a potential hazard, sand from an optional sand hopper which can be built into Jetpatcher unit.
Benefits of Jetpatcher:
- More economical
- More efficient
- Longer lasting repair
- Cleaner, safer work environment
Jetpatcher Machine launched in Goa:
The recently launched Jetpatcher machine will help to fix the potholes in the state. This machine is used not only in India but across the globe in various forms in getting the potholes filled. Every year we face the problem of potholes during monsoons. The reason behind the causes of potholes is mainly due to digging of the roads by the agencies/PWD dept to carry out the work of laying cables, water connection, sewage connection etc. Taking all this into account the PWD department has procured two Jetpatcher machines.
One machine each will be stationed in both districts and added that the work order for this would be issued on a nomination basis, as the company has given us an 18-month guarantee after repairing the pothole and based on which the department has given them a work order.
