This example of the proven Sealmass M5 is headed to Sigonella Airport in Sicily to be used by the Italian army for melting sealing compound and applyiing it into cracks and joints.

Thanks to its thermal oil heating system for both the melting tank and hand lance, the sealant is kept hot and liquid until the very last application point. It works even with very high viscosity compounds.

The drive wheel has a variable 0-4km/h speed and there is a hydraulically operated steering system controlled by joystick. Meanwhile, the melting tank has a capacity around 500litres with hot oil coils on top for melting and a stirrer with paddles driven by an hydraulic motor.
