Abstract:

The Advanced Highway Maintenance and Construction Technology (AHMCT) Research Center has designed and built the next generation of Longitudinal Crack Sealing Machines (LCSM). At the time of this development, Caltrans had the second generation LCSM deployed in the Caltrans maintenance fleet and was producing cost savings combined with improved safety and seal quality. The increased seal production necessitated a similar increase in the supply of hot sealant to allow the sealing machine to operate continuously. This new system, the Transfer Tank Longitudinal Sealer (TTLS), creates a continuous hot sealant supply for high production sealing operations by developing a hot sealant transfer from nurse kettles scheme. The TTLS system consists of two separate machines that were developed simultaneously. The application truck is a self-contained, 360-gallon, high production highway longitudinal crack sealing machine. The transfer trailer serves the role of a nurse kettle by providing up to 600 gallons of hot sealant and high-speed, 72GPM (gallons per minute), transfer capabilities to quickly re-supply the application truck. The development of both machines has been completed and initial highway testing of these machines has been conducted in conjunction with Caltrans maintenance crews. TTLS field testing results have proven the functionality of the equipment, but slow kettle heating times of 7 to 9 hours is ultimately preventing full deployment of this equipment. The slow heating problem was due to poor kettle design by a commercial manufacturer. TTLS application truck kettle replacement will be necessary before field deployment can be accomplished.
