Structural composition

• Storage system: It has a large capacity storage box for storing snow melting agent, and the material of the storage box usually has good corrosion resistance to prevent damage to the box caused by the snow melting agent. The capacity size varies depending on the vehicle model, ranging from 1-2 cubic meters for smaller ones to over 10 cubic meters for larger ones, meeting the needs of different operating ranges.

• Conveyor system: including devices such as screw conveyors or conveyor belts, responsible for transporting snow melting agent from the storage box to the spreading device. Spiral conveyors can control the amount of snow melting agent transported, while conveyor belts are more suitable for transporting snow melting agents with larger particles or poor flowability.

• Spreading device: The spreading disc rotates at high speed under power drive, evenly spreading the snow melting agent on the road surface. The spreading device can generally adjust the spreading width and amount, and the spreading width is usually adjustable between 2-15 meters to adapt to roads of different widths.

• Efficient homework

The salt spreader can quickly spread snow melting agents on large areas of roads, and compared to manual spreading, its work efficiency can be improved several times or even dozens of times. When dealing with emergencies such as blizzards, they can quickly mobilize and ensure the safety of road traffic in a short period of time. For example, a large snow melting agent spreader traveling at an appropriate speed on a highway can effectively spread several kilometers of road within an hour.

• Save manpower and reduce labor intensity

Only one or a few operators are needed to complete the spreading operation, greatly reducing manpower investment. Moreover, the operators operate inside the vehicle, avoiding prolonged outdoor work in harsh weather conditions such as severe cold, strong winds, blizzards, etc., reducing labor intensity and improving work comfort and safety.

1. Preparation before operation

• Vehicle inspection

Check the overall condition of the vehicle, including tires, brakes, lights, etc., to ensure that the vehicle is in good driving condition. Because snow melting agent spreaders usually operate in harsh weather and road conditions, the safety of the vehicle itself is crucial.

Check the power system, whether it is the internal combustion engine or the electric system, to ensure that it can operate normally. For internal combustion engines, check whether the levels of fuel, oil, coolant, etc. are normal; For electric vehicles, check whether the battery level and charging system are normal.

Check the various components of the spreading system, such as storage boxes, conveyors, spreading devices, etc. Ensure that the storage box is leak free, the screw conveyor or conveyor belt of the conveying device can work normally, and the rotating parts of the spreading device are flexible and free of jamming.

• Preparation of snow melting agent

Choose the appropriate snow melting agent. Select a suitable snow melting agent based on factors such as ambient temperature, road type, and traffic conditions. At the same time, the corrosiveness of snow melting agents should be considered, and products with less corrosiveness to roads and surrounding environments should be selected as much as possible.

Check the quality and condition of the snow melting agent. Avoid using damp or clumped snow melting agents as they may cause poor transportation and spreading. Before loading into the storage bin, the snow melting agent should be screened to remove large impurities and clumps.

• Environmental assessment

Before starting work, evaluate the road conditions, traffic flow, meteorological conditions, etc. in the work area. Understand the width, length, slope, bends, and other information of the road in order to set the appropriate spreading width and amount.

Adjust the spreading strategy based on weather conditions such as snowfall, temperature, wind speed, etc. For example, when the wind speed is high, attention should be paid to avoiding the snow melting agent being blown away by the wind, which may affect the spreading effect.

2. Key points to note during the operation process

• Driving safety

The tailgate salt spreader must strictly follow traffic rules during operation. Due to the slow driving speed of vehicles, it is important to set up warning signs, turn on warning lights, warning horns, etc., to remind other vehicles to avoid.

Pay attention to the driving stability of the vehicle. When driving on icy roads, avoid dangerous operations such as sudden braking and sharp turns to prevent the vehicle from slipping. At the same time, it is necessary to control the driving speed of vehicles reasonably according to the icing conditions and spreading requirements of the road, generally around 10-30 kilometers per hour.

3. Maintenance and upkeep after operation

• Salt spreader cleaning

After completing the homework, spreader should be cleaned up in a timely manner. Due to the corrosive nature of snow melting agents, it is necessary to clean the body, chassis, and spreading device of the spreader to remove residual snow melting agents. You can rinse with clean water, and for stubborn stains, specialized cleaning agents can be used.

After cleaning, the ice melt salt spreader should be dried to prevent moisture residue from causing rusting of the components. You can use a clean cloth to dry it, or let the salt spreader air dry naturally in a well ventilated area.

• Snow melting agent storage management

If there is any remaining snow melting agent, it should be stored properly. Store the snow melting agent in a dry and ventilated place to avoid moisture and clumping. At the same time, the stored snow melting agent should be labeled with information such as model, production date, remaining amount, etc., to facilitate future use.
