The Process | IRMAC

Q. How many operatives are needed to perform repairs? A. Only two trained operatives are needed.	Q. What type of repairs can the IRMAC AR2 be used for? A. The system can be used for all types of asphalt, macadam and surface dressing for surface repairs including joint failures, trench re-instatements, defects around ironworks and potholes	Q. What is meant by “Best practice”? A. That the machine is operated by trained operatives who have completed the training course. The repairs are done using the correct anionic IRMAC binder and preferably finished with IRMAC Sealcoat.

Q. How long do repairs last? A. We currently have not currently had a repair fail in 4 years of use, when the repairs have been done using “best practice” methods.	Q. Why is Binder Needed? A. An anionic Binder is applied onto the surface to rejuvenate old material by replacing lost oils and to help bond and protect the new material and repair as a whole.	Q. How noisy is the process? A. The process is far more quite than a traditional repair down to the fact no jack hammers, pneumatic drills, or still saws are used in the repair process. The only real noise in the whole process is when a vibrational roller is used to compact and complete the repair at the end!
Q. How much safer is the process for operatives? A. The infrared repair process is far safer than a traditional repair as no jack hammers, pneumatic drills, or still saws are used. Seriously reducing the chances or injury, noise induced hearing loss, tinnitus and white finger in operatives!	Q. How reliable is the IRMAC AR2 A. Very. We have over 10 yrs experience in developing this technology and have similar machines using similar technology that have been running and being used every day for over 4 years.	Q. How easy is the AR2 to maintain? A. Like with all regularly used industrial equipment the AR2 does need basic maintenance form time to time. However the training course will teach operatives how to service, maintain and replace parts that do where out. The IRMAC machine has been designed to make maintenance as easy as possible.

Q What Training is needed? A. We suggest each company at minimum gets 2 initial operators trained. We provide training packages lasting approximately a week with full operating and training manuals.	Q. What does it run off? A. Standard LPG and a battery. Which is recharged from either the mains, a vehicle or optionally solar panels.	Q. What is IRMAC Sealcoat and what does it do? A. Sealing Asphalt with Specially formulated IRMAC Sealcoat can restore and preserve all modern asphalts and macadam surfaces that have degraded due to oxidization and trafficking over a period of time and where major repairs are not necessary. IRMAC Sealcoat also now improves anti skid properties and enhances the surface regenerating its original rich deep colour.
