Why Asphalt Plants Should Be Using SoySolv DST as Their Drag Slat Cleaner and Treatment
At asphalt plants, drag slat conveyors are essential for moving hot mix asphalt from the plant to the silo. Over time, these systems face issues like hardened asphalt buildup, wear on metallic components, and decreased efficiency. That’s why choosing the right drag slat cleaner and drag slat treatment is critical to keeping your operation running smoothly.
For years, diesel fuel has been the standard solution for maintaining drag slat conveyors, but it comes with limitations. Diesel evaporates quickly, poses safety hazards, and doesn’t offer lasting protection. SoySolv DST is a revolutionary bio-based solution that acts as a 3-in-1 drag slat cleaner, lubricant, and treatment to clean, protect, and extend the life of your equipment.
Why Diesel Falls Short as a Drag Slat Treatment
While diesel has been widely used, it’s not ideal for maintaining drag slat conveyors. Here’s why:
- Inefficient Cleaning: Diesel can only remove surface-level grime and fails to address hardened asphalt buildup effectively.
- Poor Lubrication: It provides minimal lubrication, leading to wear and tear on metallic parts.
- No Preventive Benefits: Diesel doesn’t prevent future buildup, meaning you’ll spend more time and effort cleaning.
- Safety Risks: Diesel is highly flammable, making it risky to use near hot asphalt.
- Environmental Impact: Diesel runoff can contaminate local ecosystems and isn’t biodegradable.
These shortcomings highlight the need for a more effective drag slat cleaner and drag slat treatment—and that’s where SoySolv DST shines.
SoySolv DST: A 3-in-1 Drag Slat Cleaner and Treatment
SoySolv DST was developed specifically to meet the challenges of maintaining drag slat conveyors. It’s more than just a cleaner—it’s a complete drag slat treatment that delivers powerful cleaning, lubrication, and preventive care.
1. Cleans Hardened Buildup
Asphalt buildup on drag slats, chains, and conveyors can slow down your system and damage components. SoySolv DST works as a heavy-duty drag slat cleaner, breaking down even the toughest residues. Regular use keeps your conveyors operating smoothly and reduces downtime.
2. Lubricates Moving Parts
Drag slat systems rely on chains, sprockets, and rollers that face constant friction. SoySolv DST not only cleans but also lubricates these metallic parts, reducing wear and tear and extending their lifespan.
3. Prevents Future Buildup
Unlike diesel, SoySolv DST doubles as a release agent, creating a protective barrier on surfaces. This makes it harder for asphalt to stick, ensuring your drag slat conveyor stays cleaner for longer.
Why SoySolv DST is the Best Choice for Drag Slat Treatment
| Feature | Diesel Fuel | SoySolv DST |
| Cleans Hardened Buildup | Minimal | Highly effective |
| Lubricates Moving Parts | Limited | Superior lubrication |
| Prevents Future Buildup | None | Excellent protection |
| Safety | Flammable | Non-flammable |
| Environmental Impact | Harmful | Eco-friendly |
SoySolv DST outperforms diesel in every category, making it the top choice for a modern drag slat cleaner and treatment.
