What specifications should be considered when purchasing a bitumen emulsion sprayer for Australian road standards?

[Ryszard]

For Australian road work you normally evaluate calibrated application rate control, spray bar design and nozzle spacing, pressure stability, and heating options for lines and pump if required. The machine must maintain uniform transverse distribution across lane width and handle specified viscosity ranges without pulsing. Key specs include tank capacity, agitation or recirculation, filtration mesh size, pump type compatible with emulsions, and accurate speed linked rate control. Also check safety features for traffic work, corrosion resistant materials, and the ability to document calibration results for QA compliance.
