  • Page 19: Wind Skirt Use

    HELPFUL HINTS WIND SKIRT USE Every KM International Infrared is delivered with “wind skirts”. The wind skirts provide protection to the burner and blanket in windy conditions that would otherwise hamper the Infrared’s effective operation and use. The wind skirts are placed on two adjacent sides on the windward side of the Infrared to partially block out the wind and to allow the heat to better directly penetrate the asphalt.

    HELPFUL HINTS ASPHALT REPAIR USING THE KM INFRARED ASPHALT RECYCER Once the bituminous surface has been softened the process of repairing, decorating, adhering thermoplastics, or otherwise manipulating the pavement in a quality manner is considered craftsmanship. It is imperative that the operator and/or service crew be properly trained in the fundamentals of in-place reheating asphalt and asphalt repair.
