The AR55 (or Cookie Box) is a revolutionary portable asphalt reclaimer with heated storage capability. It is designed to reheat virgin or recycled asphalt products to working temperature in minutes instead of hours. Cold asphalt products in chunks or pre-maid cookie form are placed inside the box on a grating. The infra-red burner is lit and the lid is closed. In approximately 7-10 minutes roughly 200 lbs. of heated material falls through the grating into the heated holding area ready to be accessed through the shovel port. The heating process is unaffected by season or temperature and heated product is untouched by an open flame thus preserving its original integrity. Both upper and lower burners can be fired simultaneously or independently as needed using propane gas. The unit is constructed of 14ga. steel throughout with a heavy barred grating suspended inside the heating chamber. Self-storing handles are provided for easy transport and loading. Striker, high volume regulator, 10’ hoses and 50,000 btu burner/ lighting wand are included. Each unit is constructed in the USA by skilled craftsmen to insure years of service. Hot asphalt repairs can now be made regardless of season or an operating asphalt plant by utilizing bunked up material or unused asphalt from another job. Excess material is simply formed into “cookies” and left to cool for reclaiming another day. Specifications: Length – 48”, Width – 23”, Height – 41” Capacity - .55 ton, Weight – 395 lbs.
