Melter

The MB Melter is a thermoplastic support system designed to supply molten material for Apollo applicator carts and long line striping trucks. Thermoplastic material is loaded into insulated kettles, where a burner heats the material through side heat stacks and a central heat riser. A hydraulic agitator keeps the material moving to ensure uniform melting and maintain optimal temperature. Available in stand-alone, skid-, trailer-, or truck-mounted configurations, the Melter offers capacities from one 500 kettle up to 4,000 lbs kettles and can be powered by propane or diesel engines. Optional cranes or lift gates allow safe handling of thermoplastic material and applicator equipment. The system is suitable for inner-city roads, highways, parking facilities, industrial and port areas, sidewalks, and cycleways.
