THE ROADMASTER IS THE MARKET LEADING SPRAY INJECTION PATCHING MACHINE
The Roadmaster® stands as the market-leading Spray Injection patching machine. It excels in site preparation and delivers a precisely calibrated blend of aggregate and binder directly into potholes or road defects at high velocity, offering a cost-effective and dependable solution to road maintenance challenges.
Operated by a single individual, the Roadmaster® boasts impressive productivity while significantly reducing operator risk. No longer exposed to traffic hazards, dust, fumes, noise, weather, or bitumen, the operator enjoys the comfort of an air-conditioned cab, with full control at their fingertips.
One of Roadmaster's unique features is its PLC (Programmable Logical Computer) control system. This system allows for preset application rates, ensuring consistent calibration of the binder and aggregate mix. This consistency guarantees lasting results on every occasion. Operators can also store their ideal mixture ratios for different aggregate and binder types, reducing manual effort and preventing issues like "fatting up." With the Roadmaster®, the margin for human error and material waste is minimised.
REPAIR TYPES POSSIBLE WITH THE ROADMASTER®
POTHOLE REPAIR
Firstly, the area is cleared by removing water and debris using a high-pressure air jet. Then a tack coat is applied to prepare the surface. The patch is then built-up with a carefully calibrated mixture of emulsion and aggregate. Finally, the patch is finished by topping it off with dry chips.
PRE-SURFACE DRESS WORK
The Roadmaster® can raise depressions, fill cracks, and reinstate stripped areas before applying surface dressings, all at a fraction of the cost of conventional methods.
PREVENTATIVE SEAL ON CRACKED AREA
By priming and applying layers of coated chips, the Roadmaster® can raise and strengthen the surface while preventing water ingress. The final patch typically features a rectangular shape with well-defined edges.
PREVENTATIVE & ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The Roadmaster® excels in surfacing small areas, offering a cost-effective alternative to conventional surface dress systems. It has achieved coverage rates of up to 1,500 square meters per day.
BUILD UP BROKEN EDGES
An effective and affordable method for reinstating ragged and broken carriageway defects.
INTRICATE REPAIR
The Roadmaster® excels at detailed, intricate repairs in challenging, hard-to-reach areas, including those close to obstacles like kerbs.
KEY FEATURES
Users have achieved a financial saving of up to 80% when compared with conventional repair methods.
The Roadmaster® has been designed with this in mind and has the following key safety features:
ONE MAN OPERATED
Operated from the safety of the chassis cab – There is no need for an operative to stand on a live carriageway to carry out a road repair
NO MATERIAL HANDLING
There is no manual or material handling on site and no direct environmental exposure.
SAFETY
The vehicle is fitted with maneuvering sensors, reversing alarms, rear cameras and can also be fitted with a driver assist function.
MOBILE WORKS
An LED arrow board can also be mounted on the rear of the Roadmaster®
enabling the operation to carry out as independent mobile works.
NO WASTE GENERATED
As the SIP process fills the existing road defect void without the requirement for excavation, there is a reduced requirement for new material.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Can prevent early stages of deterioration such as fretting and cracked surfaces which ultimately results in more cost-effective programming of any network.
THE GREENER SOLUTION
The Roadmaster® presents a greener solution by reducing the need for auxiliary vehicles on the road. Spray Injection patching efficiently cleans the affected area without extensive road cutting.
Precise computer calibration ensures minimal material waste during repairs.
Furthermore, the Roadmaster® offers cutting-edge data capture with Centaur Lite, providing real-time insights into every Roadmaster's operation on the road. This not only aids reporting but also serves as a comprehensive record of before-and-after details for each repair. Such verifiable data has consistently proven its worth in insurance inquiries, quotes, and claims.
