Asphalt Patching Robot

What is an asphalt patching robot?

An asphalt patching robot gathers the material and equipment needed to repair potholes and surface failures on one vehicle. The patching mix travels in a heated bunker, the binder emulsion in a separate tank, and every movement is driven by the hydraulic system coupled to the truck.

Thanks to this layout the repair crew works without bringing a separate material truck or generator to site; patching is completed with fewer people and in less time.

Configuration of the Öncü Hidrolik patching robot

According to the catalogue configuration the unit is produced with a bunker capacity between 9 m³ and 16 m³. The bunker is manufactured from 4 mm St37 black sheet and heated by a burner or an electrical element. It carries a 150-litre emulsion tank with exhaust heating, a 100-litre water tank and a hydraulic oil tank of 70–100 litres.

Heating the bunker helps keep the material at a workable temperature during application, while the emulsion tank supplies the binder that makes the patch adhere to the existing pavement.

Who is it for?

The machine is designed for municipalities, highway maintenance units and road maintenance contractors that repair large numbers of potholes every day. Timely patching stops a small failure from turning into a large pothole under the action of water and postpones the need for full-width resurfacing. Bunker capacity is selected according to the daily workload and the carrier vehicle.
