Mat Temperature Sensor
For Asphalt Roller Line

Sakai recently contracted with TransTech Systems to offer a precise mat temperature gauge at the asphalt roller operator’s station. In addition to Superpave, the sensor system is good for night paving operations where ambient and mat temperatures drop rapidly, narrowing the available compaction window. While the temperature sensor and gauge may be installed on all of the manufacturer’s asphalt rollers, it primarily is targeted at the Superpave roller train.
