Safe, reliable and easy to use: if you are looking for a machine to take the back-breaking work out of occasional crack filling jobs, this is a great entry-level machine.
- Melt crackfiller and apply it from the same machine
- Field-tested equipment designed to make crackfilling easy
- Ships to your door or job site
It’s easy to use: simply put bricks of hot pour crack filler in the machine, heat them up to 350°F, and then walk along the cracks, applying the crack fill from the handlebar squeeze valve. If you can mow the lawn, you can use this machine.
Start by thoroughly cleaning out all the cracks on the pavement. If any cracks are deeper than ½”, top them up with sand and gravel. Make sure you have burned out any vegetation. Then heat the rubberized crack filler and go. Remember to agitate the crack filler in the kettle every few minutes to prevent it from burning.
The RY10 Base Model features a valve control arm to adjust the spring tension, making it easier to control how much sealant you are releasing. It’s 150,000 BTU torch melts rubber sealant fast. You can also pull it out of its holster and use it for melting vegetation or burning built-up sealant off the machine’s wheels.
The machine also features:
- Glycerin thermometer so you can read the gauge while you walk
- Rear wheels with double bearings for increased stability
- Fuel pressure regulator on the hose
- Latching lid for easy transportation
- Ratchet strap to keep your propane tank in place
- Fully Equipped with CSA/UL approved regulator to provide precise control over fuel flow to the kettle
If you plan to crackfill more than one property, we’d recommend you upgrade to the RY10 with the Ergokit. It has handlebar agitation controls that will let you work more efficiently, stirring your crackfill without having to stop.
If you plan to do crackfilling professionally, look at the RY10 Pro or Elite for more features to save money on fuel, and time on melting.

- I was impressed with the quality of the buildThe unit I bought was delivered earlier than thought. But there was a couple missing pieces. This took a couple days to get to the right people but it was taken care of appropriately. I got the ry10 base unit and i was impressed with the quality of the build.
- QualityA great items and does a great job. Heats quickly and dispensed joint sealer as it should
It takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes to melt a full pot on start-up, depending on the ambient temperature.
For optimal performance, we recommend melting one block at a time. Once the material in the kettle is reduced to less than half of the previous batch, you can add another block, ensuring the material is constantly agitated.
This process helps the crack filler melt evenly, reducing the risk of equipment clogging, bonding issues, and material failure.
Possible Causes
- 1) The fuel level could be too low
- 2) The propane cylinder valve could be partially or fully closed, which can restrict fuel flow
- 3)The pressure regulator valve may be in the off position or may not be providing sufficient fuel flow
- 1) Check and refill your fuel tank
- 2) Ensure your fuel valve is fully open. You can do this by turning the knob fully counter-clockwise
- 3) You may increase the pressure from the regulator by turning the knob clockwise
Known Solutions
To make it a little easier to control the flow of the crackfill: Lower the temperature of the kettle, and it will cause the rubber to flow more slowly. Lengthen the control arm for the valve by adjusting the turnbuckle. That way, you will be able to have the handle closer to the handlebars, and your hand will be more closed, which should provide more control for the valve operation.
It's good to clean it out completely after 5 uses; otherwise there is a possibility of charring rubber in areas where there may be multiple layers of rubber built up.
To clean it, heat it up and scrape it out with a scraper on a broom handle. Then start fresh with a brand new box of crackfill.
