More Information
Summary:A portable asphalt heater and method for heating asphalt includes an asphalt hopper having a floor, first and second side walls and front and rear end walls. The side walls taper inwardly to define a substantially inverted-V geometry of the hopper. A heating manifold including a heating chamber is adjacent to and positioned beneath the floor, the heating manifold adapted to be in fluid communication with a heater assembly and to direct a heated gas emitted from the heater assembly through the heating chamber and heating manifold. A plurality of chimneys is in fluid communication with, and extends from, the heating chamber and along the first and second side walls, wherein the volume of asphalt, when in the asphalt hopper, is heated through contact with the asphalt hopper.
