The maintenance and cleaning of construction machinery is an essential part of work processes in the asphalt and construction industry. Cleaning asphalt often presents companies with a challenge.
Machines that are often contaminated with tar or bitumen are common:
- Crawler excavator
- Motor grader
- Road rollers
- Asphalt mixing plants
- Wheel loader
- Asphalt paving machines
- Road grader
- Shuttlebuggies
Contamination on the machines can reduce efficiency, increase wear or cause corrosion. ECO-NOVA offers a range of safe and effective release agents and solvents, such as. Antistics 100, Bitunova NF, Bituclean and Combisolv TR.
How important is regular cleaning of construction machinery
Regardless of the type of machine - whether it is a motor grader for levelling and profiling, a road roller for compacting asphalt or an asphalt mixing plant - each of these machines should be cleaned and maintained regularly to ensure that they are in good working order.
ECO-NOVA cleaning concentrates and release agents
ECO-NOVA offers a range of safe cleaning concentrates and solvents specially developed for the effective removal of asphalt and bitumen residues from a wide range of machines. Antistick 100 is a release agent or non-stick agent that reduces the adhesion of asphalt to machines such as crawler excavators, motor graders and road rollers. It forms a protective layer that prevents asphalt from sticking and makes cleaning easier. In practice, diesel is still often used as a release agent. However, diesel is a highly environmentally hazardous substance and should therefore no longer be used. With Antistick 100, we offer a much safer release agent. The solvent Bituclean are used to safely and effectively remove stubborn bitumen residues from machines such as asphalt mixing plants, asphalt paving machines and road levelling machines. Combisolv TR is a versatile cleaner that can remove both asphalt and bitumen, ideal for machines such as shuttlebuggies and wheel loaders.
Anti-adhesion solutions for lorries
Transporting asphalt by lorry in the asphalt industry is often a challenge: Asphalt sticks to the loading areas of lorries. This can make unloading difficult and lead to unnecessary waste of material. In addition, cleaning this sticky residue can be time-consuming and difficult. ECO-NOVA offers with Antistick 100 an effective non-stick agent specially developed to reduce the adhesion of asphalt to surfaces. When Antistick 100 is applied to lorry loading areas, it forms a barrier between the asphalt and the surface of the lorry. This prevents the asphalt from sticking to the lorry, enabling smoother unloading and significantly reducing cleaning time. Through the use of Antistick 100 not only enables companies in the asphalt industry to organise their work processes more efficiently, but also to extend the service life of their trucks and reduce the need for frequent, thorough cleaning.
