The company has an impressive fleet of over a hundred pavement preservation tanker trucks that serve a wide customer base ranging from local municipalities to large-scale highway infrastructure clientele.
The asphalt industry demands speed, precision, and reliability. Any failure in the production line can result in major consequences, from missed deadlines to loss of revenue and damaged customer relationships. For the past 10 years, Vance Brothers has counted on Nowak Industrial Products to supply the essential dispersion blades and mixers that help make Vance Brothers a category leader.

When it comes to asphalt production, mixing quality directly affects the performance of the product. Every batch must be uniform to meet performance and durability standards. For Vance Brothers, precision in mixing isn’t just a preference. It’s a requirement.
To meet these high standards, Vance Brothers utilizes a range of dispersion blades from Nowak that are engineered for consistent, industrial-level mixing. The different blade sizes and configurations are used for materials of varying viscosities and volumes.
According to Chris Campbell, Vance Brothers Maintenance Supervisor, “These blades have to be precise in order to achieve even blending down to the molecular level. It’s a crucial component to maintaining the quality and suspension of our products.” Nowak’s blades help the company ensure that every gallon of material coming from their plants lives up to the Vance Brothers’ name.

In addition to the blades, Nowak provides various tank and tote mixers used throughout Vance Brothers’ entire production, including on-site mixing, holding tank agitation, and long-term material storage. These large-scale mixers are mounted on the side of Vance Brothers’ massive vertical storage tanks throughout their plants. These play a crucial role in maintaining their inventory quality. With the help of Nowak’s mixers, Vance Brothers has complete confidence that the integrity of their product is accurately maintained from the moment it is mixed until it is applied in the field.
