Parameters of the Thermoplastic Road Marking Machine for Sale
Key Components of a Thermoplastic Road Marking Machine
Melting Kettle: Heats thermoplastic material (typically supplied in pellet or block form) to a liquid state (180–220°C), ensuring proper consistency for application.
Application Unit: Includes a screed or spray nozzle to distribute the molten material onto the road surface with precision.
Glass Bead Dispenser: Integrates reflective glass beads into the wet marking to improve visibility at night or in low-light conditions.
Control Panel: Allows operators to adjust temperature, application speed, and marking width.
Material Preparation: Thermoplastic pellets are loaded into the melting kettle, where they are heated and stirred until they form a smooth, homogeneous liquid.
Surface Pre-Treatment: The road surface is cleaned and primed (if necessary) to ensure optimal adhesion.
Application: The molten material is poured or sprayed through the application unit, which follows a predefined path (e.g., straight lines, curves, symbols).
Bead Dispensing: Glass beads are evenly spread over the wet marking to enhance reflectivity.
Curing: The marking cools and hardens within minutes, ready for traffic use.
Thermoplastic road marking materials primarily come in two types: solid thermoplastic and glass bead-enhanced thermoplastic.
For basic markings, operators use solid thermoplastic supplied in pellet or block form. A melting kettle heats it to 180–220°C until molten, then a screed or nozzle applies it to form durable lines, symbols, or curb markings. This type offers high wear resistance and longevity, ideal for standard road lines.
Glass bead thermoplastic integrates reflective glass beads during application, either mixed into the molten material or sprinkled onto the wet marking. The beads enhance visibility in low light by reflecting headlights, critical for highways, curves, and crosswalks.
Both types cure rapidly upon cooling, creating robust, traffic-ready markings within minutes, with the glass bead variant prioritizing safety through enhanced reflectivity.
Manual Machines: Ideal for small-scale projects or temporary markings. They require operator guidance for application, offering flexibility but lower speed.
Automatic Machines: Equipped with GPS or laser guidance for precise, high-speed application, suitable for large highways or uniform parking lot lines.
Small vs. Large-Scale Machines
Compact Models: Lightweight and portable, suitable for parking lots, sidewalks, or small streets.
Heavy-Duty Models: Designed for highways and large infrastructure projects, featuring larger melting kettles and advanced automation.
