Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before choosing the right melter for your application

What is the difference between propane, diesel, and electric melters?

Propane and diesel melters are more portable and typically equipped with air jacketed heating systems that provide fast, even heat distribution. Electric melters, like the A-110 model, offer innovative electric heating elements and are ideal for indoor or sensitive environments where fuel combustion is not suitable. Each version provides precise temperature control and is designed to create consistent, high-quality hot rubber for your projects.

An air jacketed melter uses a double-layered heating system where hot air circulates between the outer shell and the inner kettle. This indirect heating method prevents scorching or burning of the rubberized asphalt, ensuring even heat distribution and maintaining the material’s integrity. The benefit of an air jacketed melter is that it provides consistent temperature control, reduces material waste, and extends the life of both the melter and the melted product.

Regular maintenance is important to ensure your hot rubber melter continues to provide precise control over temperature and material consistency. This includes checking fuel systems, cleaning lids and valves, inspecting agitation paddles, and verifying the integrity of the air jacketed heating system. Proper maintenance results in fast heating times, consistent melting, and reliable performance on every job.

Hot rubber melters create a seamless, monolithic membrane that provides superior waterproofing and crack sealing. The high polymer content and precise temperature control result in durable repairs that withstand extreme temperature fluctuations and heavy traffic. Using hot rubber melters can extend pavement life by several years, making them a cost-effective solution for contractors and customers alike.

Yes, our product line includes compact and portable melters ideal for small to medium projects or jobs that require mobility. These versions are designed for easy transport, often fitting in the back of a pickup or on a trailer, and are equipped with features that provide fast heating and precise temperature control for efficient operation.

The size of the melter you choose should correspond to the volume of material you need to melt and the scale of your projects. Smaller 25 gallon melters are ideal for smaller jobs or tight spaces, while 200+ gallon kettles are better suited for larger operations requiring continuous, fast melting. Our team can help you assess your requirements and recommend the best option.
