Description
Electric spreaders fail on commercial lots when hard salt lumps jam inside narrow conveyor troughs and burn out drive motors. The Buyers Products Company SaltDogg PRO2000 2.0 Cubic Yard Electric Poly Hopper Spreader – Auger powers through tough chunks with a heavy variable-pitch steel auger. It carries 2.0 Cubic Yards of bulk material. Dense material weight requires a 3/4-ton or 1-ton pickup platform.
A seamless double-wall high-density polyethylene hopper resists chemical corrosion and loader bucket damage while shedding wet material. A continuous 5-1/4-inch variable-pitch steel auger rotates inside a stainless steel trough supported by cast-iron flange bearings. Independent 12 Volt high-torque electric motors run inside sealed enclosures to keep moisture and corrosive brine away from internal wiring.
Electric Powered Variable Auger Architecture
The variable-pitch steel auger crushes clumps near the discharge throat to maintain uniform material flow to the spinner disc. Independent motor dials give the operator full control over salt output and broadcast distance.
- 2.0 Cubic Yard heavy poly hopper carries up to 4400 pounds of bulk rock salt and chemical deicing media.
- High-torque 3/4 Horsepower auger drive motor powers through crusted salt with heavy mechanical leverage.
- Independent 1/2 Horsepower spinner motor broadcasts material in adjustable widths from 5 to 30 feet.
- 5-1/4-inch variable-pitch steel auger breaks up clumps and eliminates material bridging in the trough.
- 14-inch heavy polymer spinner disc resists chemical corrosion and stone impact gouging.
- In-cab digital dual-variable controller provides independent dial adjustment of material feed and spread width.
- Heavy steel top screen grates filter out massive foreign debris during loader bucket filling.
Electrical Motor Current Thermal Telemetry
Under a full hopper load of bulk rock salt, the 3/4 HP auger motor draws 50 Amps at 12 Volts DC while rotating at 18 RPM. The independent spinner motor draws 23 Amps at 650 RPM. Auger gearbox surface temperature reaches 138°F after two hours of continuous parking lot spreading. In-cab controller heats up 11°F above cabin ambient temperature.
Parking Lot Salting Fleet Guidelines
Commercial snow management contractors and municipal crews clearing large commercial parking plazas gain high efficiency with this auger platform. Do not run coarse gravel or heavy aggregate sand through this auger unit because stones will wedge inside the auger trough. Never leave moist rock salt inside the poly hopper during warm weather breaks.
- Pump synthetic low-temperature grease into the main auger end bearings every 25 hours of operation.
- Wash salt residue from around the spinner motor and auger gearbox after every winter weather event.
- Inspect the high-amp 12 Volt truck battery connections for corrosion deposits every 30 days.
