PURPOSE: To   provide   user   and   support   personnel   Supplemental Operator Maintenance and Repair Parts Instructions that have    special    application    to    Non-Development    Items (NDI) of equipment. 1-2. SCOPE: This  SOMARPI  is  not  intended  to  be  complete  nor  a comprehensive  document  on  the  Melter,  Asphalt,  Skid Mounted,    Hot    Oil    Circulating,    Model    STMD-3000A, hereinafter called the Asphalt Melter.  It is only intended to  highlight  and  summarize  the  important  elements  of operation and maintenance. 1-3. NDI ACQUISITION: Under   the   Nondevelopment   Acquisition   Process,   the asphalt   melter   will   be   referred   to   as   a   commercially available    Category    B--off-the-shelf    item,    modified    to satisfy Army Requirements and/or performance standards. 1-4. DESCRIPTION: The   asphalt   melter   consists   of   a   dual   de-drumming tunnel and a 3000 gallon capacity,  heated  storage  tank. The  tunnel  is  constructed  to  handle  a  maximum  of  six, 55  gallon  drums  at  one  time,  with  a  melting  rate  of  750 gallons  per  hour  of  85-100  penetration  asphalt  cement. The  melted  asphalt  cement  can  be  maintained  in  the storage  thank  at  pouring  temperature  (235  degrees  F), and  transferred  to  bulk  storage  tanks  or  distributors  be means   of   a   separately   supplied   asphalt   pump.      The tunnel     and     storage     tank     are     equipped     with     heat dissipating  coiled  piping,  interconnected  with  removable external   piping   and   valves   to   permit   control   of   heat transfer   medium.      A   separately   supplied   heat   supply must provide 1, 000, 000 BTU per hour to the melter. Circulating hot oil is recommended as the most efficient heat transfer medium.  A loading platform with an electric hoist  to  assist  the  operator  in  loading  asphalt  drums  is secured  to  the  front  of  the  melter.    A  ladder  provides access   to   the   load   platform.      A   discharge   chute   is attached to the rear to receive empty drums.  A gate on the bottom of the discharge chute holds the empty drums from    one    charge    of    the    tunnel,    allowing    controlled removal of empty drums. 1-5. OPERATIONAL CONCEPT: The asphalt melter will be utilized in construction, repair, and    maintenance    of    roads,    shoulders,    and    airport runways.      The   asphalt   melter   supports   the   engineer mission  performed  by  the  Engineer  Support  Equipment Company, Engineer Battalion (Heavy), Engineer Battalion (ABN),  and Engineer Utility Team. 1-6.
