Explore our direct-factory machinery engineered for extreme durability, precision spraying, and heavy-duty road construction.
Founded in 1998 by Chang'an University professors and highway engineering visionaries.
HEM Group (originally Xi'an Hongda Communications Technology Co., Ltd.) emerged from the esteemed academic halls of Chang'an University—China's premier institution for highway design and heavy equipment engineering. Over the past 25+ years, our research team has spearheaded groundbreaking innovations in mechanical dynamics, engine power matching, fluid hydraulics, and digital electronic control systems.
Recognized in 2006 as a official "High-tech Enterprise" by the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Science and Technology, our group expanded international operations in 2017 through HME TOP Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. Today, our engineering focus encompasses high-viscosity asphalt emulsion spraying wands, bitumen distributors, micro-surfacing machinery, and heavy infrastructure maintenance equipment.
Understanding atomization physics, thermal jacket dynamics, and anti-clog circulation design.
Utilizes thermal-jacketed gear pumps designed to handle shear-sensitive asphalt emulsions without breaking the emulsion prematurely. Delivers constant volumetric efficiency under variable viscosity conditions.
Ergonomic lightweight aluminum alloy wand equipped with heat-resistant Viton seals, instant cut-off needle valves, and localized pressure regulation to eliminate tailing and drip during operator movement.
Continuous thermal fluid or hot oil jacket integration prevents cold spots inside the wand hose assembly. Ensures zero blockage during intermittent spraying operations in extreme weather.
Technical Insight: Emulsion breaking occurs when water evaporates or chemical charges react with aggregate surfaces. Standard hand wands fail due to shear-induced breaking inside nozzles. Our patented laminar-flow wand geometry preserves emulsion stability (CRS-1, CRS-2, CMS-2, CSS-1h) until the exact moment of atomization.

Adapting asphalt emulsion spraying equipment to diverse climate zones and operational demands.
In municipal repairs across Northern Europe and North America, manual spray wands are vital for tack-coating milled vertical joints prior to asphalt placement. Precise wand coverage guarantees long-term moisture barrier integrity.
Throughout the Middle East and Southeast Asia, ambient temperatures exceed 45°C. HEM wands maintain spray fan stability without thermal degradation or emulsion flash-breaking in high-ambient conditions.
For narrow rural road construction in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa where automated distributor bars cannot fit, our portable wand extensions enable complete binder application on difficult terrain.
High-speed railway and concrete bridge decks demand elastomer-modified asphalt emulsion application. High-pressure spray wands deliver uniform, pinhole-free waterproofing membranes.
Gas, water, and fiber-optic excavation cuts in metropolitan zones require exact spray boundaries. Hand-guided wands eliminate overspray on pedestrian walkways and adjacent vehicles.
Aviation infrastructure requires high-spec polymer binders (SBS/SBR modified). HEM spray wands handle rubberized binder formulations with zero valve sticking or flow pulsation.
How vertical integration and rigorous testing drive unprecedented quality and value.
The global highway maintenance machinery market demands rapid delivery, structural reliability, and component interchangeability. As a premier Chinese manufacturer with roots in Shaanxi's heavy industrial cluster, HEM Group offers distinct supply chain advantages:
From CNC turning of brass spray tips to robotic welding of stainless steel storage tanks, every critical sub-assembly is built within our 5,000 m² modern manufacturing plant.
Spray wands utilize high-tensile 316L stainless steel shafts and forged alloy valves resistant to acidic (cationic) and alkaline (anionic) emulsion corrosion.
We configure custom wand lengths (1.5m to 3.5m), hose line heat tracing, pneumatic auto-flushing attachments, and custom engine drives (Honda, Briggs & Stratton, or electric).
Economic justification for high-precision hand-spray wand systems in modern fleet management.
The global transition from hot-mix asphalt (HMA) applications to environmentally conscious cold-mix bitumen emulsion processes is accelerating under global Net-Zero initiatives. Asphalt emulsions reduce VOC emissions by up to 70% and lower thermal energy expenditure during application. However, realization of these environmental benefits hinges on precision application tools.
By replacing traditional pour-pot or low-pressure gravity spray wands with HEM pressurized atomizing wands, paving contractors achieve a 28% reduction in excess binder usage. On a standard 50,000 m² municipal resurfacing project, this translates to savings of over 4.5 metric tons of bitumen emulsion while guaranteeing compliance with highway agency bonding shear strength standards (> 0.35 MPa).
Next-generation smart spray systems powered by AI flow calibration and zero-emission drives.
Integration of real-time digital flowmeters inside the spray wand handle, syncing application rates (L/m²) directly to cloud-based quality assurance software via Bluetooth/5G.
Phase-out of small gasoline auxiliary engines in favor of 48V lithium-ion battery-powered gear pumps, lowering noise pollution for night-time urban repairs to under 55 dB.
One-touch automatic compressed air purge sequence that cleans the wand stem and tip in 5 seconds, preventing hardening of fast-setting asphalt emulsions (RS-1/CRS-1).
Our machinery and technical teams operate in over 60 countries across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
Dedicated engineer dispatches and localized technical hubs in Russia, Malaysia, South Africa, Uzbekistan, Ghana, Kenya, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka.
Over 10,000 stocking SKUs for immediate international shipment—minimizing project downtime and keeping fleets operational.
Comprehensive hands-on equipment operator training, material compatibility assessments, and spray calibration workshops.
Explore our complete catalog of infrastructure machines built in our Shaanxi factory.
Comprehensive engineering clarity for procurement managers, highway engineers, and OEM partners.
HEM spray wands are specifically calibrated to handle rapid-setting (RS-1, CRS-1, CRS-2), medium-setting (CMS-2), and slow-setting (SS-1, SS-1h, CSS-1h) emulsified asphalt. Furthermore, our high-pressure heating recirculating systems comfortably process Polymer Modified Asphalt Emulsions (PMAE) containing up to 4.5% SBS/SBR latex solids without nozzle shear breakdown.
Our spray wand assembly incorporates a dual-action mechanism: first, a hot-oil or fluid recirculation loop keeps the internal wand valve above 60°C; second, an integrated diesel/air purge system allows the operator to instantly flush residual emulsion from the wand tip back into the return line at the touch of a switch.
Yes. Through our HME TOP export division, we provide OEM/ODM retrofitting kits. We supply spray wands equipped with custom quick-connect hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid coupling adapters compatible with European, North American, and Asian bitumen distributor trucks.
HEM Group operations are certified under ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management Systems and CE directive standards for machinery safety. Spray pressure vessels and fluid lines undergo hydrostatic testing up to 1.5x working pressure prior to dispatch.
Standard spray wand assemblies and common replacement parts (nozzles, seals, swivels) are shipped within 48 hours from our central warehouse. Customized complete spraying units or OEM-branded production runs typically take 15 to 25 business days.
