The maintenance-free stainless steel hopper features 45° sloped sides for efficient material flow and an electrically driven chain-fed salt spreader. It also includes a standard inverted V design to keep weight off the drag chain for optimal performance. Additionally, the setup boasts an adjustable height spinner extension and a standard swing up spinner assembly for versatile operation.
The spreader is powered by two independent 3/4 HP DC motors. One keeps the conveyor chain moving while the other mounts on the spinner to spread the material.
The spreader is controlled by a Force America in-cab controller which has variable speeds for the conveyor system as well as the spinner.
