APOLLO 2035986 2562911 Screed Heating Rod for AB500-2 AB500-3 Asphalt Paver Now Available

APOLLO 2035986 2562911 Screed Heating Rod Now Available for AB500-2 and AB500-3 Asphalt Pavers

A hot screed is the difference between a smooth, even mat and a rough, dragging finish. APOLLO now offers the 2035986 2562911 screed heating rod for AB500-2 and AB500-3 asphalt pavers, giving paving crews a reliable replacement part that keeps the screed plate at working temperature. It is a practical solution for scheduled maintenance and unexpected breakdowns alike.

Product Overview

The 2035986 2562911 heating rod mounts in the screed heating channel and brings the screed plate up to temperature before and during paving. When the plate is hot, asphalt glides underneath it instead of sticking, which produces a uniform mat texture and fewer surface defects. Because the rod is engineered for AB500-2 and AB500-3 screeds, it fits standard and extended screed configurations and connects to the machine's original wiring.

Design and Performance Features

• High-grade resistance heating element for precise temperature control.
• Durable sheathing resistant to thermal fatigue and mechanical stress.
• Optimized heat distribution across the screed plate.
• Corrosion-resistant construction for asphalt fumes and weather.
• Precision dimensions for direct fitment in AB500-2 and AB500-3 screeds.

Why Screed Heating Matters

Heating the screed plate is not a small detail; it directly affects the quality of the finished pavement.

• Maintains the screed plate at optimal working temperature.
• Contributes to a uniform mat texture and smoothness.
• Reduces drag and improves asphalt material flow.
• Allows proper pre-heating before paving starts.
• Compensates for cold ambient temperature on site.

Installation and Maintenance

Fitting the heating rod is straightforward on AB500-2 and AB500-3 pavers. For best results, make sure the rod is aligned correctly in the screed heating channel, confirm secure electrical connections to prevent arcing, and check clearance from surrounding components. Routine care — visual inspection for wear, checking heat distribution and cleaning the heating channel — extends the life of the element and protects mat quality.
