Pothole Patcher
- CLEANING: High Pressure Low Volume Air is used to Clean Potholes
- TRACK: Prepare the Patch With Coating of Emulsion
- FILLING: Emulsion coated Aggregate is used to fill the pothole
- COAT: A light coat of clean aggregate is applied
- COMPACTING: The patch is compacted with a compactor for better strength
- FINISHING: The patch is coated with fine stone dust for durability
A pothole patcher machine is specialized equipment designed for efficient, long-lasting road repair by automatically filling and compacting potholes. The machine uses a combination of heated asphalt mix and aggregate material, which is applied and compacted in a single operation. Equipped with high-pressure air blowers, the machine first clears debris from the damaged area before filling it. Advanced models also include thermal control systems to maintain asphalt temperature for optimal adhesion, ensuring durable, weather-resistant repairs.

FAQs
1.What is the maximum pothole sizing the machine can repair?
The machine can repair potholes up to 2 meters in diameter, depending on the specific model and configuration.
2.What type of asphalt mix is required for the patcher?
The machine is compatible with hot-mix asphalt or cold-mix materials, but hot-mix is recommended for better bonding and durability.
3.How does the machine maintain asphalt temperature during repairs?
It uses integrated thermal systems that regulate the temperature to prevent cooling during the patching process, ensuring optimal adhesion.
4.What is the average repair time per pothole?
Depending on the size and depth of the pothole, the machine can complete a repair in as little as 5-10 minutes. Depending on the size and depth of the pothole, the machine can complete a repair in as little as 5-10 minutes.
