Asphalt repair right where it's needed

PKP HotPatch 3 is a container-based mobile unit engineered to produce hot-mix asphalt directly at work site or next to the repair. It is the answer wherever conventional asphalt plant logistics are too slow, too costly or simply impractical.

The unit has been developed to eliminate the bottlenecks of traditional asphalt logistics: long transport distances, high costs, and dependence on the operating hours or winter closures of fixed asphalt plants. Instead of temporary and low-quality cold patching, repairs are carried out immediately with durable, hot mix.

Key Technologies

  • Container-based mobile structure
  • Aggregate system
  • Bitumen heating and circulation
  • Mixer
  • Weighing / dosing
  • Control system
  • Hot mix discharge
  • Transportability and site operation

Applications:

  • Road and street repairs
  • Airports
  • Industrial areas
  • Ports and terminals
  • Private roads and remote sites
  • Critical infrastructure
Engineered for demanding weather including winter conditions.

Key Benefits:

  • Hot mix at the repair site – No more dependence on where the nearest asphalt plant is..
  • Right-sized for smaller repairs — Enables Produce what the job needs, without ordering a full truckload of asphalt.
  • Mobile and flexible solution — Suitable for locations where patching needs vary and distances may be long.

How PKP HotPatch Works

Explore the stages of asphalt patching carried out with the PKP HotPatch unit. 

1. Loading raw materials

Aggregate and bitumen are loaded into the container.

2. Transport to site

The container travels to the site by truck.

3. Heating

Automatically controlled burners heat the bitumen and aggregate to their target
temperatures.

4. Mixing

Aggregate and bitumen are weighed, dosed and mixed into hot asphalt.

5. Filling the repair

The hot mix is discharged into the repair.

6. Finishing

The mix is compacted and the edges are sealed with bitumen.
