Salt Spreader Comprehensive Introduction

April 16, 2025


1. Definition and Function

Salt spreader is a special vehicle used for anti-skid treatment of icy and snowy roads. It accelerates the melting of ice and snow by spreading snow-melting agents (such as salt, sand or composite snow-melting materials) to ensure road safety.


Its core functions include:

De-icing and anti-skid: lowering the freezing point through the melting effect of salt to prevent ice on the road15.

Quick response: integrated automatic spreading system, which can quickly deal with the impact of sudden icy and snowy weather on traffic46.



2. Classification and technical features

Classification by power and structure

Car-mounted salt spreader: mounted on the chassis of trucks or engineering vehicles, flexibly adapted to municipal and highway scenes, with a spreading width of 4-16 meters28.

Hydraulic drive spreader: uses a hydraulic system to control the spreading amount, supports precise adjustment (such as 20-150g/㎡), and is suitable for refined operations.

Aviation turbojet snow blower: equipped with a jet engine, it directly blows away the snow with high-temperature and high-speed airflow, suitable for extreme blizzard weather.


Core technical features:

Anti-corrosion design: The silo and feeding device are made of stainless steel to improve corrosion resistance 28.

Anti-blocking and moisture-proof: V-shaped silo + anti-arch canopy device design to avoid snow melting agent blockage 58.


3. Application scenarios

Municipal roads: Quickly deal with snow and ice in urban main roads, bridges and other areas to ensure the safety of citizens' travel.

Highways: Spread composite snow melting agents to prevent traffic accidents caused by ice and snow on long-distance sections.

Airports and scenic spots: Use low-noise, pollution-free equipment to meet the environmental protection requirements of airport runways and ecologically sensitive areas.
