A NEW Salt Spreader

What happens here

The video focuses on the durability and unique features designed to prevent common issues with salt spreaders. It highlights the use of the strongest motor in its class for the auger, ensuring it can break up and feed frozen salt without binding. Special manufactured fasteners secure the coupler to the motor, preventing breakage. High-grade motors are also used for the dual spinners. Crucially, the bucket features innovative hinged grates. These grates remain shut when scooping salt, preventing large chunks from entering the system. When emptying, they automatically open to allow quick discharge of any remaining material, preventing jams and making cleanup easy. Deflection plates are also incorporated to prevent salt from piling up and ensure free flow to the auger system.

Goal: Understand the design elements that enhance durability and prevent common operational problems.

What they say

solid pile so what did you guys do to compensate for something like that happening well I mean we always recommend that they break up the pile if it's frozen always recommend that but the we use the strongest motor in this the for torque in that size of motor for the augur you can't really see it unfortunately with the inspection panels in place so we use the strongest motor you can get for the ug so then you don't have to worry about a piece of Frozen salt binding it up that's Rush of salt um we use a special manufactured Fastener to hold a coupler to the motor so that they can't break cuz we ran into those issues we also brought a on the Spinners we also brought a high-grade motor as well so we're not going to see a failure there and then obviously we have the grates to keep out anything that would jam the bucket sizewise it can't get in the bucket so they can just simply dump it out okay what are we looking at Lucas so this is the double down three yard size this one so happens to be made in stainless we this is actually the bucket we show off at C completely redid how the greates work um they're actually hinged in the back so when you go to scoop the salt they stay shut but when you want to empty the bucket they will actually just open themselves up so you can empty the bucket real quickly one of the things that we identified in the old design was that emptying the buckets was not as easy because you had to undo small hinges in the front and then dump forward I said well why don't we just create it so it wedges shut when you fill it and then when you want to empty it it just pushes the grates open and then it just empties instantly see the dog bones you can see the open plate in the center and then we have some deflection plates that we added so it allow it stops all the salt from pling on top of itself so as it shifts down it allows it to FL uh flow freely adding some strapping points for straps we also have these chain points for chains so it kind of just depends on um what you need to strap it down with if it's attached to a machine on a semi and you're going down the road obviously hauling it you need to still be able to change your your attachment to your Implement otherwise they're going to write you a ticket you can see the Dual Spinners just like the one yard two spinners and two spinners yep you could throw salt so the the one yard has dual Spinners as well yes it does you have to throw it at the same time okay yeah so you throw you just you…
