Forward-Thinking Technology

At Meeker, we provide high quality components to your asphalt plant. We make your plant run better and more efficiently and provide products with enhanced features that improve upon your original asphalt plant purchase.

We now provide mechanical installation services allowing the plant owner a clear understanding of overall project investments.

Understanding overall project investments is very difficult today due to inflation and supply chain issues. At Meeker, we are providing more products and services to the owner so that entire projects provide a clear vision and understanding of the scope of work.

Meeker Equipment understands that you need real solutions to help your business grow and succeed over the long haul. That’s why since 1986 Meeker Equipment has constantly sought innovative approaches and cutting-edge solutions for your equipment needs. As a proven leader in the industry, we strive to design equipment to maximize efficiency and enhance durability. Our trusted team of professionals is devoted to satisfying the unique requirements of our customers. Our guarantee of quality and customer service is the cornerstone of our values.

We are focusing on safety to the owner of the equipment. We created the Liquid Vision system to allow for remote operation of the hot asphalt valves. We monitor tank level so that employees don’t have to go on top of tanks to “stick” for liquid level. Our asphalt tank ladders come with safety cables for workers to tie off in the event he/she loses footing on the ladder. We are building tank farms with stairs in lieu of ladders to make the area around tanks safer. Our silo batchers have cages so that any pinch points are eliminated which helps worker safety.

• Better inventory management

• Safer control of tank valves

• Better worker safety

Sustainability with Asphalt

We recently introduced our line of electrically heated hot oil heaters at CONEXPO. This product is an excellent retrofit product to traditional gas/fuel fired hot oil heaters. Electric hot oil heaters emit zero emissions which is an excellent product for environmental stewardship.

Adding to the sustainability discussion fits Meeker’s core values:

• Treat others as we would want to be treated

• Exceed our customers’ expectations

• Live life with Integrity

• Provide the highest quality and innovative products to the industries we serve

Sustainability with Asphalt

PHCo Lo-Density® low-watt-density electric heaters provide unique environmental benefits that can help asphalt producers achieve sustainability goals, including those aligned with NAPA’s “The Road Forward” climate action plan. This is because electric heat operates without combustion or emissions, and it eliminates a source of fuel and material spills. Electric heat is safe, consistent, and it offers 100% energy efficiency because all of the energy is used to heat, when compared to the inefficient burning of fossil fuels. In addition, the efficiency will always be 100%, even after many years of operation, without costly maintenance. Fossil-fuel burners, on the other hand, operate at only 85% efficiency when new—and that efficiency quickly drops to 50% to 65% over time. Electric heat also eliminates stacks that must be monitored for emissions, along with eliminating air quality and boiler permits that must be pursued and maintained.

Are you exploring NAPA’s climate challenge, but unsure of your navigation? We can help you take at least one step forward — by replacing your tank heaters, hot oil heaters, fuel oil preheaters, and distributor truck heaters with our zero-emission, 100% efficient, Lo-Density® drywell-style electric heat.
