Salt Spreading<br />
Salt Spreading Equipment<br />
Salting larger areas such as paths, pavements, car parks and playgrounds to keep<br />
them clear of snow and ice and therefore safe for pedestrians and drivers can be a time<br />
consuming, labour intensive chore which will need to be undertaken regularly in winter.<br />
Using salt spreading equipment is a quicker and more convenient method of spreading<br />
the correct concentration of salt, in a uniformed layer.<br />
Using salt spreaders is also a safer method, as much of the manual labour is removed as spreaders can be either be handpushed<br />
or towed to cover larger areas. For paths and areas where restricted spreading is needed, drop spreaders are the<br />
most suitable. Spinners offer a simple solution to spreading salt over large areas giving an even spread with very little effort.<br />
Salt is highly corrosive substance, and if the correct use and maintenance of spreaders is neglected then this can have an<br />
impact on the length of service given by your spreader. Poor maintenance and misuse account for 50% of problems with<br />
spreaders, with poor salt making up the rest. Always rinse out your spreader after use, and during regular use spray the<br />
moving parts with WD40 or a similar lubricant. Bigger spreaders have grease or oil in their gearboxes and these will require<br />
annual filling. Finally, and importantly – never leave salt in your spreader between de-icing works.<br />
Drop Salt Spreaders<br />
Drop spreaders offer a greater degree of control when spreading salt. As the name suggests, salt is ‘dropped’ from the<br />
hopper in a controlled manner, and forms a de-iced trail the width of the spreader along the route it has travelled.<br />
Drop spreaders are excellent for de-icing pathways and pavements, and for areas where controlled coverage is required<br />
to prevent the salt from getting into places where it is not wanted.<br />
Spinner Salt Spreaders<br />
Spinner spreaders enable large areas of ground to be covered for de-icing with minimal effort. The salt is held in a<br />
storage hopper and gravity-fed on to a spinning distribution disk, which evenly dispenses the salt in a radial motion<br />
away from the spreader.<br />
Spinner spreaders are ideal for de-icing car parks, playgrounds and other areas where mass salt coverage is required<br />
in a short period of time.<br />
