The adaptation on this machine (a loading shute) meant it could be used to reclaim asphalt laid on a site where
live munitions had been used and the reclamation would mean the heat might/would cause small explosive
detenation.
The loading shute allows the operatives to continuously load the asphalt without standing
above the heated material.

Left: Anti-skid materials are applied on dangerous areas of road or on
approaches to roundabouts, Zebra crossings, & Pelican crossings.
The specialised bearings used with this material ensure that the abrasive
texture cannot destroy the bearings required to rotate the agitators.
These machines are more an example of what Horrods are capable of
achieving when new materials require existing plant to be ‘tweaked’ to
provide a machine capable of heating and processing such an abrasive
substance.
