Description
Coarse bulk salt bridges over narrow discharge troughs when single-motor spreaders lack the torque to grind frozen clumps. The Buyers Products Company SaltDogg PRO1500 1.5 Cubic Yard Electric Poly Hopper Spreader with Auger powers through stubborn chunk ice using a full-length variable-pitch auger. It holds 1.5 Cubic Yards of bulk material. Spreading fine sand requires an optional vibrator kit.
The double-wall hopper is rotationally molded from high-density polyethylene to shrug off corrosion from calcium chloride and rock salt. A 5-1/4-inch variable-pitch steel auger sits in a stainless steel trough supported by heavy cast-iron flange bearings. Independent 12 Volt DC motors run the auger and spinner disc inside sealed polymer housings to prevent caustic fluid entry into motor armatures.
Electric Auger Spreader Hardware Capabilities
Two variable-speed motors give truck operators independent control of material feed rates and pattern widths from the cab. The unit drops into standard 8-foot pickup beds using heavy ratchet hold-downs.
- 1.5 Cubic Yard poly hopper carries 3300 pounds of bulk salt and chemical deicing materials.
- High-torque 3/4 Horsepower auger drive motor chews through frozen crusts with raw mechanical leverage.
- Independent 1/2 Horsepower spinner motor broadcasts material in adjustable patterns from 5 to 30 feet.
- 5-1/4-inch variable-pitch continuous steel auger crushes hard chunks to maintain steady material feed.
- 14-inch heavy polymer spinner disc resists chemical corrosion and stone impact gouges.
- In-cab digital dual-variable controller provides separate dial adjustment of auger feed and spread width.
- Top screening steel grates filter out massive foreign debris during loader bucket fills.
Electric Motor Current Thermal Telemetry
Running a full payload of coarse road salt draws 48 Amps from the truck 12 Volt system at the auger motor under continuous feed resistance. The spinner motor draws 22 Amps at 650 RPM. Auger gearbox surface temperature reaches 138°F after two hours of steady parking lot salting. The digital in-cab control box internal temperature rises 10°F above cab ambient during operation.
Parking Lot Route Maintenance Protocols
Commercial snow removal crews clearing shopping centers and school access roads gain dependable salt delivery with this poly unit. Do not run coarse aggregate sand or pea gravel through this auger spreader because large stones wedge inside the trough and burn drive fuses. Never leave moist rock salt inside the hopper between winter storms.
- Pump synthetic low-temperature grease into the main auger end bearings every 25 hours of operation.
- Wash salt residue from around the spinner motor housing each morning following winter snow clearing runs.
- Inspect high-amperage 12 Volt truck battery connections for corrosion deposits every 30 days.
