 Hoses are laid out to thaw snow-covered ground in Minnesota. Click here for additional information and photos |
When it's coldest on the outside, ThawBUSTER really warms things up.
The sturdy 10-foot aluminum box is situated on a 12-foot, custom-built, dual-axle trailer that is designed for a lifetime of rugged use. The unit is small enough to let you work in a tight space, yet large enough to allow you plenty of access to all the equipment inside.
On the inside is a diesel-fired boiler that heats fluid to 180 degrees for dispersal through five 500-foot hoses. The hoses are on color-coded connections that let the operator easily identify any problems that might occur with the hoses. Should a problem occur, any zone can be shut down while the other zones continue working.
Once everything is set up at the worksite, the unit can be completely secured and will continue to work independently of the operator.
