Product Features

Safety

Your crew’s safety is our first priority. Crafco engineered the EZ Series II melters with safety features designed for convenience:

  • a low-profile trailer and angled loading doors to reduce strain 
  • curbside controls that minimize exposure to traffic 
  • automatic agitator shutoff switches on the loading doors to prevent hot sealant splashes 
  • an ergonomic hose and wand to reduce fatigue 
  • Optional equipment lights and optional Work Area Camera improve visibility for your crew and nearby drivers.

Productivity

The EZ Series II offers the largest capacity and material heat/recovery rate of any melter in its class, with an innovative heat tower in the center of the tank to improve melt rate.  

EZ Series II melters feature large 2” pumps capable of delivering 20 gallons per minute, with true on-demand pumping.  

The overhead sliding hose boom eliminates hurdles by maximizing your working radius, protecting hoses from damage, and reducing operator fatigue.  

A heat chamber on the back of the melter warms hoses and plumbing for a faster start to your day, while also enabling you to keep working when the temperature drops.  

EZ Series II melters are available with electric heated hoses, and our larger 1500-liter melter can be ordered as a double pumper, giving you an independent second hose for twice the output and an increased work area of 760 sq. ft.

Efficiency

EZ Series II melters are engineered to make the most of your time and resources. 

A heat transfer tower in the center of the oil-jacketed double boiler tank increases the heating surface area for 95% heat efficiency to significantly speed up material melting and recovery.  

Powerful Tier 4 diesel engines conserve fuel to run all day while keeping emissions under control. 

The industry-exclusive true on-demand pumping system saves fuel while also reducing wasted sealant. On our double pumper units, the two pumps run independently, with adjustable flow rates for different operators.

Reliability

A tool is only useful when it works, so Crafco makes no compromises on reliability – starting with quality materials. 

Our heavy-duty trailers are constructed from open steel channel to minimize the risk of rust. 

Crafco builds all sealant hoses in-house to ensure quality and repairability. 

The on-demand pumping system cuts wear-and-tear to reduce maintenance downtime, while powerful bi-directional agitation paddles ensure even heat and mixing. 

Our automatic interlocking controls ensure all functions engage properly to protect your melter from damage, while the accessible control panel offers easy monitoring of machine functions.

Options

On top of the numerous standard features, the EZ Series II line offers several additional options to meet your crew’s specific needs.

The EZ Series II 1000 is available with an onboard 100CFM air compressor, while the EZ Series II 1500 can be ordered as a double pumper with two independent hoses.

A wide range of equipment lights are available to direct traffic, help crew members stand out safely, and extend working hours.

The Driver Alert System enables easy communication between crew members and the melter operator. With the push of a button, the operator can tell the driver to move forward, stop, or adjust speed. The system features adaptive volume, wireless operation, a waterproof design and easy installation on either side of the wand handle.

Enhance your crew’s safety and efficiency with the Work Area Camera system, which provides the driver with real-time visibility. The 5” color monitor and waterproof camera pair instantly, ensuring a clear view of the work area without leaving the cab.

The Autoloader provides efficient sealant block loading from a tow vehicle to the melter, while also keeping the operator safely away from hot sealant. Featuring weather-proof switches, a splash-resistant loading tower and waterproof electrical enclosures, the Autoloader reduces labor, streamlines your workflow, and helps ensure safety – without requiring equipment modifications.

The overnight heaters keep sealant warm overnight so you can get started faster the next day. They plug in to AC power and reduce the heat-up time required to dispense material. 

The shot timer kit makes attaching pavement markers simple by dispensing a set amount of material with each pull of the wand trigger. It can be ordered with your machine from the factory or added later to Super Shot or EZ Series II melters that have electric heated hoses. 

Additional Options: 

  • Hitch Extension 
  • Engine Cover 
  • Surge Brakes 
  • Tool Box 
  • Locking Battery Box

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a crack sealing melter?
Also known as tarpots, crack machines, crack sealers, kettles, melters, crackpots or a variety of other names, crack sealing melters are used to melt modified asphalt crack sealant for sealing cracks in pavement. The material tank is usually oil-jacketed for even heat distribution and to prevent material scorching. Smaller crack sealing melters like the EZ Pour 50 may use propane or diesel burners to heat sealant and may be gravity-fed with a pour spout. Larger melters like the Super Shot 125, Super Shot 250 and EZ Series II line use diesel burners and have sealant pumps that feed material through a hose and applicator wand. The Super Shot 60is available with a propane or diesel burner, but it is pump-fed with a hose. The hose and wand can be heated, which keeps the material warm to prevent clogs.
Choosing a crack sealing melter depends on several factors: typical job size, space constraints, training capacity and more. If you usually seal cracks in small parking lots or enclosed spaces like a parking garage, a smaller melter like our Super Shot 60 or EZ Pour 50 would be ideal because of their compact size. Crews who typically operate on city streets likely need the higher capacity and output provided by a Super Shot 125 or Super Shot 250. And large highway jobs involving dozens of lane miles need maximum capacity provided by a machine like the Super Shot 250 or one of our EZ Series II melters. While nearly all crack sealing melters are available mounted on a trailer, the Super Shot 60 and Super Shot 125 are also available in skid mount configurations.
Most mastic contains aggregate, so we strongly advise against using mastic in a crack sealing melter. The aggregate would likely destroy the material pump, leading to time-consuming repairs. We recommend using a dedicated mastic melter like the Patcher II or Patcher 4. Mastic melters are gravity-fed with assistance from the agitator blades, so there is no pump to be damaged by the aggregate.
