Asphalt Rubber Melter: KM 55 Product Spotlight
If you are looking for an asphalt rubber melter, KM International’s KM 55 offers many excellent features that can make your asphalt repair projects faster and easier.
Our 55-gallon asphalt rubber melter is triple-wall constructed and thermostatically controlled, which allows for more accurate heating of material. As a result, you can use half the amount of propane you would in a direct fire melter, which can help save you time and money. It is compatible with direct fire or oil-jacketed material.
KM 55 Asphalt Rubber Melter Features
In addition to its thermostatically controlled heating system, the rubber melting kettle provides heat retention. The air-jacketed unit also offers high-efficiency insulation.
With the KM 55, asphalt rubber can be ready for use in less than one hour. It also offers easy pour solutions through a 2-inch flow valve that extends out on each side of the machine. With this smart design, filling rubber applicators is simple and efficient.
When you purchase the asphalt rubber melter for your projects, the unit will come equipped with a utility hand torch that offers the ability to heat up the flow valve, as well as other hand tools for optimal working conditions. The torch features a 6-foot hose that draws from the LPG tank, and an on/off control valve will be attached to the torch.
