Don’t wait for spring, repair roads anytime. There is only one permanent solution: microwaves!
We have started a roadshow through the regions of the Czech Republic, during which we present to representatives of cities and municipalities the principle on which our FF-9 microwave furnace set works. They can thus personally get acquainted with how the repair itself is carried out in practice. The first stop was in Prague-Letňany, Jirny and Nelahozeves.
The FF-9 microwave furnace set will be used not only by cities and municipalities that have damaged lower-class roads, parking lots and cycle paths in their cadastre, but also by companies in their logistics and warehouse areas or individuals who want to repair their driveway. The mobile trailer set with a microwave furnace can be purchased or rented from the DEK rental network. It is very easy to operate, and therefore its user does not need any special training. A 25kg bag of new asphalt mixture, which is part of the mobile set (together with the electric generator and the compaction plate), is placed in the furnace: this material is gently and evenly heated in it within approximately 10 minutes, so that the asphalt binder does not burn. It is then poured into the cleaned pothole, spread with a rake and compacted. Thanks to the preparation of the required amount of mixture directly on site, no waste is generated that would need to be transported and disposed of.
“We are changing the procedures that have been used for years to repair class II and III roads. Although these roads are often exposed to excessive traffic load, it happens that there are no funds left in the budget for their high-quality repair: their surface, which is often nearing the end of its service life, is then full of cracks and potholes from which the cold packed mixture has crumbled – and more are added. Repairs with hot packed mixture using the FF-9 microwave furnace are flexible, fast, environmentally friendly and economically affordable. It is a solution for all cities and municipalities that want to act with the care of a proper manager. So that it is not necessary to repair one pothole provisionally over and over again with cold packed mixture, which is the most common practice in the Czech Republic. The microwave furnace is able to repair one pothole of up to 2 m2 in just tens of minutes. And it can be used at outdoor temperatures from -10 to 40 °C. Moreover, fast and preventive pothole repair using microwaves reduces the total cost of road maintenance by up to half,” comments Jiří Rušikvas, owner and founder of FUTTEC
