Details
Small potholes (basketball-sized or less)? Asphalt Seams? Drainage repairs? Alligator cracking? You don't need to replace the asphalt - you can reheat and rejuvenate it! Oil spots eating away at your asphalt surface? Burn them off with the infrared heater and you'll preserve pavement and improve the look, too!
- Safely regulate your heat.
- Repair 4 sq. feet on under 15 minutes.
- No need for large quantities of asphalt to repair small areas. Simply heat, rake, compact, and go.
How does it work?
The RY2X2 Infrared Asphalt Heater is easy to use: simply place it over the distressed asphalt point, light the self-contained burner, and in as little as five to 10 minutes, this heater will have the asphalt brought back to its original mixing temperature. Remove the machine, rake the asphalt into place, compact the asphalt with a vibrating plate or plate compactor, and you're all done!
In the past, you'd have to drive to the asphalt plant, buy new asphalt, dig up the old asphalt, replace it, and then figure out where to dispose of the old asphalt . . . all of those steps are eliminated now! Just wheel it into place, light it, and you're halfway done! The unit weighs just 90lbs and features heat-shielded caster wheels, so you can operate it with just one person - no crew needed to move it.
This unit is built to last: the frame is 11 gauge steel, and the stainless steel and ceramic heater cartridge has an average lifespan of 1,500 hours.
The RY2X2 uses actual infrared heating (not blue flame heating) through a ceramic mesh cartridge. This provides the best heat distribution of any heater in its class.
Like all RynoWorx products, this unit puts safety first. No open torch flame that can blow out or leak propane on the job. And the regulator with a built-in pressure gauge means you always know how much fuel is flowing so you can turn the heater temperature up or down.
How can you make money with this? You can do asphalt repairs all year-round, but especially for emergency winter pothole repair.

- Great machine, very fuel efficient, relatively easy to maneuverThis machine works great. It ran for 7 straight hours on 2/3 full propane tank. Heats very well, about 8 minutes at 38 psi worked for me. Very compact size. I can easily fit it in my trailer. Also, it seemed to cool down very quickly. The outer metal stayed hot for a while, but the blanket underneath cools off much quicker. 10 minutes after I was done I put it in my wood floor trailer with no problems.
A few minor issues:
I feel that the wheels could be a bit larger. Also the handle doesnRead more't lock into place completely; has about 2 inches of movement when locked in upright position. Not a huge issue, just would make moving it around a little easier. Also the hardware(4 nuts and bolts for propane mount) needs to be packaged better. Most of the hardware was missing because the shipping company damaged the box and they fell out because they were loose in the box. I had hardware to replace it so it was no problem.
Overall, great machine. I will be buying another one. - Fantastic customer serviceFantastic customer service with expert knowledge and advice. Highly recommend this company for anyone looking to get into the asphalt maintenance business.

- Great price okay qualityI purchased this machine to add services to my sealcoating business on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Overall the price point is great. The machine works well heats up quickly and does its job. Where I am not impressed is the quality of the machine upon taking it out of the box reading the manual putting together the few bolt-ons. I noticed the front legs were bent and the machine rocks. This is a liability for not only my crew but my business.

- This is a fantastic piece of patching equipment.I pre-ordered one of these for my business and after it arrives it sat for a few days before I took it out for its first use. It comes about 95% assembled and its very well packaged.
It's really sturdy too. Operation is easy too. You simply open the gas, set the regulator to 12psi and stick a torch under it for a few seconds to ignite it. A=Once lit, crank the pressure to 30psi and let it cook the spot you want to patch for about 10 min. Scarify the surface, add HMA if needed, smootRead moreh and compact. That's pretty much it.
This really is a great patching tool and it works just like the sales demonstration video says and shows. This thing will earn its keep with us very fast. Everyone on my crew that has used it so far loves it. We're now shopping larger IR units. If you're in the business and you're on the fence about this, do yourself a favor and get one. You'll be glad you did. I know I'm glad I did. - This is a fantastic piece of patching equipment.I pre-ordered one of these for my business and after it arrives it sat for a few days before I took it out for its first use.

I freaking love this thing for what it is. For smaller repairs, this thing kicks Ass I’m my opinion! Only thing I may do different would be to have wheels on all 4 corners. This thing is great! - I freaking love this thingFirst Impression of the Little Infrared Judd Burdon is selling!

Customer Questions
How long can a full propane tank last if I will use my RY2X2 the whole day?
A 20 lb. propane cylinder should last on average between 7 and 11 hours depending on the operating pressure and ambient conditions.
Does the RY2X2 use actual infrared or blue flame?
The RY2X2 infrared heater uses actual infrared through a ceramic mesh cartridge. It provides the best heat distribution of any heater in its class.
HOW much BTU heat in this product?
The RY2x2 Heater has a 75,000 BTU/hr Infrared burner.
Can you use it to heat an area that has previous crack filler (rubber) in it? Can you use it to heat an area that has previous cold patch filling the hole/crack?
Yes. You can use the RY2X2 Infrared Asphalt Heater to any previously filled cracks - whether with the hot pour rubberized crack filler or with the cold patch.
Q Interested in your infrared pothole machine. How does it work if I have an area bigger than 2 feet? Do you simply work in 2foot sections? Is there a recommended overlap? How high does old asphalt need to be to obtain a flush surface after tamping?
A Yes, if you have areas that are larger than 4 sq ft you would have to do multiple presses. Each press takes about 7 minutes and you can overlap 4 inches on each press. You generally add new asphalt or milling and hold it a half-inch higher than the...
If you can not get access to millings for whatever reason, would cold patch work in place?
No. The pothole patch is made for potholes. Asphalt millings are loose and dry and have a little binder in them. Most millings are reincorporated in new rock and asphalt as a usable filler for paving and are not good for potholes.
Where should I ignite the RY2X2?
The torch should be lighting the ceramic mesh cartridge instead of the top part. Place the tip of the torch underneath the skirt to light the heater.
RY2X2 Infrared Asphalt Heaters will bring distressed asphalt back to life. Infrared technology allows you to heat up and soften damaged areas so that they can be re-worked and compacted to appear brand new. In as little as 5 minutes this heater will have the asphalt brought to its original mixing temperature, allowing for effective and cost-efficient repairs. You’ll now be able to spend minimal time repairing potholes, bird baths, cracks, and surface imperfections on both new and used asphalt.
- Eliminate trips to purchase new asphalt and dispose of old damaged asphalt by simply re-heating and re-working the affected areas.
- The Mini Infrared Heater has one of the lowest operating costs on the market, in ideal operating conditions you can run your heater for as little as $1.50 per hour.
- The Mini Infrared Heater design is self-contained and unlike an open flame torch, will not be affected by weather conditions. Since there is no torch you can work on even the windiest days.
- The heater cartridge has a typical life of 1,500 hours and can easily be replaced in less than 20 minutes.
- Caster wheels with heat shields allow a single operator to maneuver throughout parking lots and driveways without needing a second person to move the heater.
- Ergonomic adjustable handlebars allow for a compact footprint during transportation and a raised position during operation.
- Adjustable regulator with built-in pressure gauge allows for safe and precise control of fuel flow and heater temperature.
- Infrared heater technology replaces the need for an open torch flame which creates a safer work area for the operator.
