Spreader system to scatter deicing salt and brine over iced roads has a spinning disk to distribute the mass flow into sub-flows for an improved and consistent spread from the vehicle

摘要

To distribute deicing materials over flat surfaces, a rotating spinning disk (1) spreads it out by rotation across the direction of spreader travel, drawn from the supply tank in the spreader vehicle. The mass flow is divided into sub-flows (m) in the peripheral direction ( theta ) of the disk (1). The mass flow distribution (m) is varied on the radial direction (r) of the disk (1).
