Lateral kettle design where a single burner heats oil in a multi-pass coil. The hot oil enters from the burner into the front end of the lateral kettle and returns to the tank at the rear of the kettle. Bags or bags of bulk thermoplastic are gravity-fed through a feeder into the kettle where the material is evenly heated. After a small amount of thermoplastic has become molten, it is pumped either through an external or internal heat exchanger. The type of heat exchanger depends on the size and length of the kettle.
Temperatures never exceed 550°F, unlike competitive trucks where temperatures can reach as high as 2000° due to an open flame. This eliminates scorched or charred material. In addition, the temperature stays below the melting point of the glass beads which allows for the truck to instantly shut down without waiting for the material to settle to the bottom.
The Thermo HOG only uses 2 kettles versus competitive trucks which use 4 to 6 kettles. This allows for the Thermo HOG to be up to seven feet shorter and about 5,000 lbs. lighter (when empty) than other trucks and allows for more deck space to haul material. In addition, the Thermo HOG only uses two burners versus other trucks that can use up to nine.
Our HOG Pump was specifically built to pump thermoplastic. Versus competitive pumps, the HOG Pump is 1/3 the size and 1/3 the weight. In the case of maintenance or repair, the HOG Pump does not need to be removed from the chassis. In addition, it can be attached to any thermoplastic truck without any modification to hydraulics.
Precisely adjust the thermo pressure to the guns. The guns can also be easily viewed and monitored without having to worry about clutter.
Hog speed control versus expensive high maintenance hydrostatic speed
The Thermo HOG can heat up in roughly one hour. With this ultra-fast start-up, there is no need to wait around for hours for a kettle to heat settled material, saving time on every job.
Our patent-pending speed control system eliminates the need to constantly look back and forth between your speedometer and the crosshairs when laying down thermoplastic upon a line, drastically reducing or eliminating the margin for error.
