The Kasi Patriot: This Machine Kills Potholes™ – Here’s How

When it comes to potholes, the industry standard has too often been temporary fixes, cold patch quick-fixes, and repeat visits that waste both time and money. But not anymore. Enter the Kasi Infrared Patriot—a machine designed from the ground up to kill potholes for good.

This isn’t just a patcher. It’s a full-service infrared asphalt restoration system that delivers permanent, seamless repairs with fewer materials, less manpower, and dramatically better results. In short? The Patriot doesn’t play around—it eliminates the problem at the root.

What Is the Kasi Patriot?

The Patriot is a 3- or 4-ton truck-mounted infrared patching system, purpose-built to give municipalities, contractors, and public works departments the power to reclaim, recycle, and restore asphalt—without the need for saw cutting, milling, or hauling debris off-site.

It combines four key components into one cohesive machine:

• A Patented Infrared Heating Chamber

• A 3- or 4-ton asphalt reclaimer hopper

• A fully insulated tool storage system

• And a hydraulic compactor lift platform

Together, they give you everything you need to restore pavement in one trip.

How the Patriot Kills Potholes

Let’s break it down:

1. Heats, Not Hacks

The Patriot’s infrared chamber gently reheats the existing asphalt in and around the repair area. Unlike saw cutting or milling, there’s no violent disruption of the pavement structure. Instead, the existing material is rejuvenated and recycled in place.

2. Reclaim and Reinforce

Once the surface is heated, crews can rake, lute, and blend in new or reclaimed hot mix from the onboard reclaimer. The reclaimer keeps asphalt at optimal working temperature all day—no wasted trips to the plant, no waste from spoiled loads.

3. Seamless Bonding

Because the surrounding asphalt is thermally bonded to the repair, the result is a permanent, water-tight patch. No cold joints. No edge cracking. No weak spots for water to seep in and start the cycle all over again.

4. Compaction That Lasts

Finish the repair with a vibraplate or roller (stored right onboard), and you’ve got a repair that’s cured, sealed, and ready to take traffic—all in a single operation.

Benefits That Matter

• Cost-Effective Reuse material, reduce truck rolls, and complete more patches per day.

• Environmentally Friendly Recycle in place and reduce landfill waste and emissions.

• All-Day Workability With its 3- or 4-ton reclaimer hopper, the Patriot keeps your mix hot and your crew productive.

• Operator Approved With intuitive controls and built-in tool storage, the Patriot was built for real-world crews—not just spec sheets.

Real Repairs. Real Results.

Cities and contractors across the U.S. and Canada are adopting infrared because they’ve had enough of pothole whack-a-mole. Infrared asphalt restoration is the future—and the Kasi Patriot is leading the way.

So the next time your crew is out chasing failed patches, ask yourself: Wouldn’t you rather kill the pothole the first time?

This Machine Kills Potholes™ isn’t just a slogan; it's the reason Kasi Infrared exists.
