Method of mixing crosslinking blends in totes for use to crosslink polymer modified asphalts

A method of mixing a crosslinking blend in a portable tote for use to crosslink polymer modified asphalts comprising the steps of providing a portable tote, said tote comprising a rigid tank having a top portion, a bottom portion and a sidewall, defining a tank interior, and having an air mixing system fixedly attached to the tank, said air mixing system containing a hollow wand partially disposed in the interior of the tank, said wand having a proximal end and a distal end, said proximal end exiting the tank but fixedly attached to tank, said tote further comprising a bottom frame supporting said tank, said bottom frame configured to be lifted by a fork lift, said distal end of said wand having at least one accumulator plate positioned thereon, said accumulator plate positioned adjacent the interior bottom portion;

• said tank having stored therein a crosslinking blend suitable for use to crosslink polymer modified asphalt;
• said method further comprising the steps of attaching a pulsed gas controller to said proximal end of said wand;
• attaching a source of compressed gas to said controller;
• activating said controller to thereby cause mixing of said crosslinking blend by pulsing gases out of the accumulator into the crosslinking blend for a sufficient period of time;
• discharging said crosslinking blend from the interior of said tank, and removing said controller from said wand, thereby leaving said wand attached to said tank.
