Economic Benefits

Here's why highway departments across the nation count on the Cutler single machine asphalt recycling system.

More pavement maintenance per budgeted dollar: A U.S. Department of Transportation study has shown that single pass asphalt recycling provides 35% more pavement repair for every maintenance dollar spent.

Pavement performance: The performance of a hot in-place recycled pavement is the approximate equivalent to conventionally constructed pavement in terms of cracking, rutting, raveling, stripping and skid resistance, according to a National Cooperative Highway research study. The resulting surface has a service life of at least 7 to 12 years, and is among the smoothest overall finishes in the industry.

Save energy costs: A landmark study conducted by the Federal Highway Administration demonstrated that hot in-place recycling consumes 35% less energy than conventional paving methods. Cutler's customers also realize additional energy savings through reduced trucking and milling costs, and recycling of non-renewable materials.

Preserves roadway geometry: By minimizing the amount of new overlay required to rehabilitate the pavement surface, the Cutler single pass system preserves the integrity of overpass clearances, guardrails and shoulders.

Less inconvenience, improved safety: Because the Cutler single machine recycling system simultaneously recycles and resurfaces the roadway, traffic delays are minimized and motorists are spared the risk of driving on uneven, oily surfaces and the danger of flying rocks and construction materials.

Environmental benefit: Since 1965, Cutler single pass recycling process has reused more than 8.4 million tons of asphalt that otherwise might have gone into landfills. HIR uses 50% less aggregate and 50% less asphalt cement than conventional equivalent methods.

Transportable technology: The Cutler Repaver is readily transportable to any job site.
