A Mini Asphalt Plant That Goes Where You Go
The MR2X2 is not just a recycler. It is a compact, portable hot mix solution that gives you the power of an asphalt plant on the back of a truck. Load asphalt chunks or pre-formed bricks onto the screen deck, fire up the 50,000 BTU infrared heater, and you have workable hot mix in 20 to 30 minutes.
No more driving to the plant for a half-ton pickup load. No more buying 1 to 2 ton minimums when you only need a few hundred pounds. No more settling for cold patch that fails in weeks. The MR2X2 puts you in control of your material, your schedule, and your profit margins.
Stop Waiting on the Asphalt Plant
Think about every hour you have wasted driving to a plant, waiting in line, hauling material back, and hoping it stays hot enough to use by the time you arrive at the job. Now think about what it would mean if you could skip all of that.
The MR2X2 is a portable hot mix solution that puts production in your hands. You recycle asphalt bricks and chunks into workable hot mix right where you need it. No scheduling around plant hours. No buying more than you need. No losing material to cool-down. No sitting idle when the plants close for winter.
This is how the best-run patching crews operate. They control their material. They control their time. And they take on work that their competitors cannot because they are not dependent on someone else's schedule.
Built for the Jobs That Keep Your Phone Ringing
This machine was built for real-world asphalt work. If you do any of the following, the MR2X2 belongs on your crew:
- Pothole repair — Fill potholes with real hot mix instead of cold patch that crumbles in weeks
- Catch basin and drainage repairs — Restore asphalt around basins with a permanent, compactable repair
- Birdbath leveling — Eliminate standing water by building up low spots with hot mix
- Utility cuts — Close out gas, water, and electrical utility cuts with plant-quality material on the spot
- Asphalt bands and skin patches — Lay down thin bands and patches that bond properly because the material is hot
- Ramps and aprons — Build smooth transitions at driveways, loading docks, and curb cuts
- Small parking lot and roadway repairs — Handle the small-scope work that big paving crews will not touch
- Remote and rural job sites — Bring hot mix capability to locations miles from the nearest plant
- Winter and cold-weather patching — Operate in temps as low as -15°C (5°F) when plants are closed
Features That Make Money on the Job Site
- 50,000 BTU infrared heater — Delivers consistent, even heating without scorching the material. Your mix comes out at the right temperature every time.
- Up to 1/2 ton production per day — Enough output to handle multiple potholes, patches, and small repairs in a single shift without a plant run.
- 48-hour hot mix hold time — Load it up in the morning and your mix stays workable through the day. No rush, no waste.
- Venturi system with no blower — Fewer moving parts means fewer breakdowns. No batteries to die on you mid-job.
- Thermocouple safety shutoff — If the heat signature drops, the gas shuts off automatically. Safe, reliable, no babysitting required.
- Insulated walls — Keeps mix at working temperature so you are not losing heat between loads.
- Clean-burning propane — Runs on a standard 40 lb LPG tank. No diesel fumes, no generator, no electrical hookup.
- Cold weather operation down to -15°C (5°F) — When the plants shut down for winter, you keep working. That is when the highest-margin patch work happens.
- Compact footprint: 45.5 x 42 x 46.5 inches — Fits in a pickup bed or on a small trailer. Gets into tight alleys, parking lots, and urban job sites where larger equipment cannot go.
Why Contractors Love the MR2X2
Every contractor knows the drill. You need hot mix for a small job. The plant is 45 minutes away. They have a 1-ton minimum. You buy more than you need, half of it hardens before you can use it, and the profit on the job evaporates in drive time and wasted material.
The MR2X2 ends that cycle. You keep a stack of asphalt bricks on hand, load the machine when the call comes in, and show up with fresh hot mix ready to compact into a permanent repair. You set your own schedule. You control your material costs. And you stop turning down small jobs because the math did not work.
For contractors running pothole repair, catch basin work, utility cut closeouts, or general asphalt maintenance, this machine turns small-scope work into a reliable profit center instead of a logistical headache.
Why Property Owners and Serious DIYers Love It
If you manage a property, a facility, or a municipal road network, you already know that cold patch is a temporary fix at best. It shrinks. It loosens. It fails.
The MR2X2 gives property maintenance teams and hands-on owner-operators the ability to make real hot mix repairs without hiring a paving contractor or scheduling around plant hours. You fix problems when they happen, with material that actually lasts.
For municipalities and public works departments, it means faster response times on pothole complaints, lower material waste, and the ability to keep roads and lots in shape year-round without mobilizing heavy equipment.
How to Use the MR2X2
What you need:
- Propane tank (40 lb size)
- Asphalt rake
- Hand tamper or plate compactor
Step by step:
- Preheat the unit according to the operating manual.
- Place clean 2 to 3 inch asphalt chunks or pre-formed bricks onto the screen deck in a single layer.
- Allow 20 to 30 minutes for the material to reach hot mix working temperature.
- Scoop the hot mix and place it into the repair area: potholes, patches, utility cuts, or wherever it is needed.
- Keep loading the screen while shoveling hot mix from the storage area to maintain a steady production flow.
- Compact thoroughly with a tamper or plate compactor for a permanent, solid repair.
Storage and Handling
- Use only clean asphalt chunks or properly formed bricks. Contaminated material reduces quality.
- Operate outdoors in well-ventilated areas.
- Purge propane lines completely after each use.
- Clear the hopper after every job to prevent material from hardening inside the chamber.
Pair the MR2X2 with hot crack filler and sealcoat to deliver a full-service pavement repair. Explore our complete line of surface prep tools so the repair area is clean before you lay down hot mix.

Frequently Asked Questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the MR2X2 used for? | It turns recycled asphalt bricks and chunks into hot mix on demand. Use it for pothole repair, utility cuts, catch basin repairs, birdbath leveling, asphalt bands, ramps, aprons, and general asphalt patching. |
| How much hot mix can it produce in a day? | Up to half a ton per day with continuous loading. That is enough for multiple pothole and patch repairs in a single shift. |
| How long does it take to heat the material? | 20 to 30 minutes from cold asphalt chunks to workable hot mix. Once the machine is warmed up, you can keep feeding material and pulling hot mix continuously. |
| Can I use it in winter? | Yes. The MR2X2 operates in temperatures as low as -15°C (5°F). Winter is when plants close and cold patch fails fastest, so this is when the machine delivers the most value. |
| What fuel does it use? | Standard 40 lb LPG propane tank. Clean-burning, no diesel, no fumes, no electrical hookup required. |
| Is this better than cold patch? | Significantly. Cold patch is a temporary fix that shrinks, loosens, and fails. The MR2X2 produces real hot mix that compacts into a permanent repair, the same quality material you would get from a plant. |
| How big is it? Will it fit in my truck? | 45.5 x 42 x 46.5 inches. It fits in a full-size pickup bed or on a small trailer. Compact enough for tight urban job sites. |
| Does it require electricity or batteries? | No. The MR2X2 uses a venturi system with no blower and no batteries. Fewer moving parts, fewer breakdowns, easier maintenance. |
| Can I use it with crack filler and sealcoat? | Absolutely. Patch with the MR2X2 first, then seal cracks with hot crack filler and finish with sealcoat to restore the full surface. |
| What if I need more production capacity? | Step up to the MR75 High-Capacity Asphalt Recycler for larger-scale projects and higher daily output. |
