Learn about snow melting spreaders in one article. It is the key to snow removal and anti-skid!

In winter, heavy snowfall and severe cold often lead to snow and ice on the road, seriously affecting the smoothness and safety of road traffic. Under such severe weather conditions, snow melting spreaders have become key equipment to ensure smooth roads.

Snow melting spreaders are a type of mechanical equipment specially used to spread snow removal agents, such as sand, salt and other snow removal materials when snow and ice accumulate on the road in winter. It is widely used in snow removal operations in various places such as high-grade highways, ordinary highways, urban roads, airports, squares and scenic area roads, and has a very wide range of applications. Whether it is coarse salt, fine salt, deicing agent, dry sand, or special snow melting agent, the snow melting spreader can accurately spread it on the road surface where snow needs to be removed.

The advantages of this equipment are very significant:

1. Reliable and stable: The snow melting spreader adopts a fully hydraulic drive system with a stable power supply, which ensures that the equipment has stable and reliable performance during operation and can continuously and efficiently complete snow removal tasks.

2. Anti-corrosion and durable: The structure of the whole machine is made of carbon steel plate or stainless steel, and has undergone three-level anti-corrosion treatment, which greatly improves the corrosion resistance and service life of the equipment. In particular, the throwing disc is made of stainless steel with excellent anti-corrosion performance. Even if it works in a harsh environment for a long time, it is not easily damaged by corrosion.

3. Flexible adjustment: The height of the throwing disc can be freely adjusted within the range of 0-500mm, and the throwing disc can be disassembled and flipped, which is convenient for storage when not in operation. At the same time, the adjustable dropping device (chute) can achieve the throwing direction of 45° to the left, 45° to the right, and throwing directly behind, meeting the requirements of the spreading direction in different scenarios.

4. Safety guarantee: A filter is set on the spreader, which can effectively reduce the entry of large particles or debris into the equipment, ensure the safe operation of the internal mechanism of the equipment, and avoid failures caused by the entry of impurities.

5. Convenient storage: The whole machine is equipped with a detachable lifting support system, which is convenient for storage in a non-operating state, saving space, and also convenient for the maintenance and maintenance of the equipment.

6. No fear of rain and snow: A special rain cover is installed above the hopper to ensure that the whole machine can work normally in rainy and snowy weather without affecting the progress and efficiency of snow removal operations.

7. Reasonable structure: The box adopts a V-shaped silo design with a simple structure and easy operation. This design enables the snow melting agent to automatically drop, discharge completely, and leave no residue, which improves the efficiency of the use of the snow melting agent. In addition, the solenoid valve control circuit is introduced into the cab, and the operator can remotely control it in the cab, making the operation more convenient and safer.

Analysis of the timing of using snow melting agent spreaders, snow brushes and snow shovels

So, in actual snow removal operations, when should the snow melting agent spreader be used, and when should the snow brushes and snow shovels be used?

Snow melting agent spreaders are mainly used for snow and ice accumulation on the road caused by heavy snowfall and severe cold in winter. When the snow on the road is compacted by the vehicle, the friction between the wheel and the road surface is reduced, the car is prone to slide left and right, and the braking distance is difficult to control. Once the speed is too fast and the turn is too sharp, traffic accidents are very likely to occur. Studies have shown that when the snow thickness is 5-15cm and the temperature is around 0℃, the probability of car accidents is high. This is when the snow-melting agent spreader can show its prowess. By spreading snow removal agents, the melting point of ice and snow on the road surface can be effectively reduced, the melting of ice and snow can be accelerated, the friction of the road surface can be increased, and the safety and smoothness of road traffic can be ensured.

Snow brushes and snow shovels are suitable for situations where the snow is thin and has not yet formed an ice layer. In the early stage of snowfall, when the road surface has just begun to accumulate snow and the thickness is small, the snow can be directly shoveled away using snow brushes and snow shovels to avoid snow accumulation and compaction. This method is simple to operate, low cost, and will not cause chemical pollution to the road surface. However, when the snow is too thick or has frozen, the snow removal effect of snow brushes and snow shovels will be greatly reduced. At this time, more professional snow removal equipment such as snow melting agent spreaders are needed.
