Etnyre International, a leading manufacturer of asphalt industry equipment, showcased its new Mastic Kettle at the CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 trade show in Las Vegas. The Mastic Kettle is engineered to address the unique demands of mastic repair applications, featuring an indirect-fire heating system, heavy-duty mixing capabilities, and intuitive controls to help crews maintain consistent material quality and improve jobsite efficiency.

Why it matters

Asphalt mastic is an important material for repairing wider cracks, utility cuts, joints, and localized pavement failures that require greater structural strength than standard crack sealing. However, the characteristics of mastic place higher demands on heating, mixing, and operator control compared to other pavement repair materials. Etnyre's new Mastic Kettle is designed to address these challenges and give contractors more reliable equipment to expand their mastic repair capabilities.

The details

The Etnyre Mastic Kettle features an indirect-fire heating system with a turbulent heating chamber to promote even heat distribution, along with full insulation to maintain operating temperatures and keep exterior surfaces cooler for operators. The kettle also incorporates heavy-duty mixing and intuitive controls to help crews maintain proper material performance throughout the workday. By simplifying operation and maintaining uniform temperatures, the equipment allows contractors to focus on efficient production and consistent repair quality rather than monitoring equipment performance.

  • The CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 trade show was held from March 3-7 in Las Vegas.
  • Etnyre International showcased its new Mastic Kettle during the event.
