Description
Electric auger spreaders jam solid when operators load heavy abrasive sand mixed with coarse road gravel. The Buyers Products Company SaltDogg PRO2000 2.0 Cubic Yard Electric Poly Hopper Spreader – Chain uses a positive-drive pintle chain conveyor to haul dense sand-salt mixtures without stalling. It carries 2.0 Cubic Yards of deicer. High-amperage motor draw requires heavy copper truck wiring leads.
A seamless double-wall high-density polyethylene hopper eliminates body corrosion and flexes harmlessly when struck by loader buckets. The full pintle chain conveyor features high-tensile steel cross slats riding over an integrated stainless steel floor plate that prevents chain freeze-down. Independent 12 Volt DC drive motors use sealed gear reductions to isolate electrical components from salty slush.
Electric Pintle Chain Spreader Hardware
Independent dual electric drives let operators run the pintle conveyor fast for heavy sand drop while dialing back the spinner to protect roadside vehicles. The poly hopper drops into standard 8-foot pickup beds.
- 2.0 Cubic Yard poly hopper carries up to 4400 pounds of bulk rock salt, coarse sand, and chemical mixtures.
- High-torque 3/4 Horsepower conveyor gear motor pulls the heavy pintle chain through packed material.
- Independent 1/2 Horsepower spinner motor broadcasts deicing chemicals from 5 to 30 feet across streets.
- High-strength pintle chain conveyor pulls dense sand without slipping or losing positive mechanical drive.
- 14-inch heavy polymer spinner disc stands up to sharp flying aggregate and corrosive chemical deicers.
- In-cab digital dual-knob controller gives independent variable-speed control over material feed and throw.
- Integrated top screens and inverted-vee shield relieve overhead weight stress on the moving pintle chain.
Electric Motor Current Load Profiles
Under a heavy load of damp abrasive sand mix, the 3/4 HP conveyor motor draws 52 Amps at 12 Volts DC under continuous drag. The independent spinner motor draws 24 Amps at 650 RPM. Conveyor gearbox surface temperature reaches 136°F after 90 minutes of continuous parking lot deicing. In-cab controller heat rises 12°F above cabin ambient. Spinner operational noise registers 66 dBA.
Winter Fleet Bounds Preventative Protocols
Commercial snow contractors and municipal parking deck operators gain unstoppable material feed without gas engine maintenance using this electric pintle rig. Do not install this 2.0 Cubic Yard unit in half-ton pickup trucks without heavy suspension upgrades. Never leave wet bulk sand packed in the hopper between winter storms.
- Check pintle chain tension every 30 days and adjust tensioner bolts to maintain proper bottom clearance.
- Coat the steel pintle chain links with rust inhibitor oil at the end of each winter season.
- Inspect high-current 12 Volt truck electrical harness plugs for corrosion and apply dielectric silicone.
