EccoFab’s new asphalt drum flighting, however, has shown to perform for at least four years and, in one application, the company says it was used through a processing stretch that totaled 1.2 million tons – while maintaining its virtually new look. In terms of heat, EccoFab says the part can withstand temperatures as high as 903 degrees.
