Description
Chain conveyors jam when wet sand sits and freezes solid against bottom bed plates during sub-zero overnight parking. The Buyers Products Company SaltDogg PRO2500 Electric Poly Hopper Spreader with Pintle Chain Conveyor powers through dense, packed sand and salt mixtures with direct electric conveyor pull. It carries 2.5 Cubic Yards of winter deicing materials. Dual electric motor draws demand a heavy-duty truck charging alternator.
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 Deicing Architecture
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.
- 2.5 Cubic Yard poly hopper carries up to 5000 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 Telemetry Current Benchmarks
Under a heavy load of damp abrasive sand mix, the 3/4 HP conveyor motor draws 58 Amps at 12 Volts DC under continuous drag. The independent spinner motor draws 26 Amps at 700 RPM. Conveyor gearbox surface temperature reaches 138°F after 90 minutes of continuous parking lot deicing. In-cab controller heat rises 14°F above cabin ambient. Spinner operational noise registers 68 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 2.5 Cubic Yard unit in 1/2-ton trucks because loaded weight far exceeds light vehicle chassis ratings. 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.
