Maintenance and cleaning of construction machinery is an essential part of the operations in the asphalt industry and construction industry. Cleaning asphalt often presents a challenge to companies.
Machines, which are often contaminated with tar or bitumen, often include:
- Crawler excavator
- Motorgrader
- Road rollers
- Asphalt mixing plants
- Wheel loader
- Asphalt paving machines
- Road grader
- Shuttlebuggies
The contaminants on the machines can cause the efficiency to be reduced, the wear to increase or the contaminants to cause corrosion. ECO-NOVA offers a range of safe and effective release agents and solvents, such as Antistik 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 grading 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 proper operation.
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 on a variety 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 solvent is also used to safely and effectively remove stubborn bitumen residues from machines such as asphalt mixing plants, asphalting machines and road graders. Combisolv TR is a versatile cleaner that can remove both asphalt and bitumen, ideal for machines such as shuttle buggies and wheel loaders.
Anti-stick solutions for trucks
Transporting asphalt by truck in the asphalt industry is often challenging: Asphalt sticks to the truck beds. This can make unloading difficult and result in unnecessary material waste. In addition, cleaning up this sticky residue can be time-consuming and difficult. ECO-NOVA offers with Antistick 100 an effective anti-adhesive specifically designed to reduce the adhesion of asphalt to surfaces. If Antistick 100 is applied to truck bed surfaces, it forms a barrier between the asphalt and the surface of the truck. This prevents the asphalt from sticking to the truck, allowing for smoother unloading and significantly reducing cleanup time. Through the use of Antistick 100 companies in the asphalt industry can not only make their operations more efficient, but also extend the life of their trucks and reduce the need for too frequent, thorough cleaning.
