The Essential Equipment For Chip Seal Work

Here’s a closer look at the key pieces of equipment used in chip sealing and why they are critical for successful road maintenance projects:

  • Chip spreaders are one of the most important pieces of equipment in the chip seal process. These machines are responsible for evenly distributing aggregate (chips) over the fresh layer of asphalt emulsion. The spreader ensures that the aggregate gets applied uniformly; crucial for the durability and longevity of the surface. Our chip spreaders come equipped with adjustable controls that allow operators to set precise application rates. This ensures you lay the right amount of chips for optimal performance.
  • Before applying the aggregate, you’ll use an asphalt distributor to spray a hot layer of asphalt emulsion onto the road surface. The distributor has a large tank for holding the emulsion, as well as a spray bar that evenly applies the emulsion across the road at the correct rate. Proper emulsion application is key to creating a strong bond between the road surface and the chips.
  • Live bottom trailers and asphalt transports will assist you in carrying the material necessary for providing chip seal service.
