Spray Bar Flushing System
An on board 25-gallon solvent reservoir is
used to circulate through the spray bar
for the purpose of flushing it clear of
residual asphalt. The solvent reservoir is
heated by the truck engine coolant
system to aid in flushing. The 25-gallon
reservoir may vary in size based on tank
length.
Hand Spray System
The Model BC-502/CRC distributor is
equipped with a hand spray system
consisting of an aluminum spray wand
and 40 feet (15 m) of rubber hose. The
spray wand is fitted with a drip free valve.
The hose is stored on a manually
operated reel with a swivel.
Pattern Spray Capability
As described previously, the spray valves in the standard BearCat spray
bar can be opened and closed in one foot increments utilizing the in-cab
control panel switches. One foot consists of three individual valves or one
Tri-Valve group. This design enables the operator to exercise a high
degree of control in the application of liquid asphalt material. Patterns
can be deposited in increments as small as 1 foot or as large as the
combined width of the main bar and the wings. In combination with the
ability of the bar to shift laterally approximately 13 inches in either
direction, this selectivity allows the user to apply asphalt to precisely
defined areas in relatively complex patterns.
