A high-quality finish is claimed for Secmair’s COMBI1515 chipseal machine

Secmair is now offering its highly effective COMBI1515 for chipsealing duties in North America. The machine is suited for use by chipseal crews for small to medium jobsites. The COMBI1515 can deliver a quality chipseal finish, with just a single operator according to the firm.

Secmair says that the COMBI1515 can simultaneously spray the asphalt as well as spreading the chips, providing effective bonding between the two materials as the asphalt remains hot. Computer control is used to govern the application rate for both materials, ensuring a high level of accuracy. As the machine operates in a forward direction, no truck drives on the freshly applied surface and this helps maximise finish quality.

It can handle working widths of up to 4.6m. This means that a user can easily cover a whole lane width in a single pass. Meanwhile, the machine also features a short compact overhang, which helps it to be used on compact construction sites.

The COMBI1515 benefits from Secmair’s well proven New Pilot system. This allows the user to set the working width accurately from the cab.

A video camera is fitted to the front of the truck and provides a view of a 7.9m stretch of the working area. Using the road view, the operator can draw the patch as required.

This feature offers a novel solution for clients with a preventive maintenance approach, which is complimentary with the standard Chipseal applications.
