The Epoke Principle consists of:
- An agitator, which prevents material bridging and crushes large lumps ensuring accurate material supply.
- A delivery roller, which further ensures accurate and consistent delivery to the conveyor belt.
- An unladen rubber conveyor belt, which moves the precisely metered quantity to the spreading disc.
Advantages:
- Low spreader starting torque because the conveyor belt never carries more than 20 pounds of material, versus the 1,000s of pounds that rest on the chain conveyor of a conventional spreader.
- Minimal wear - serviceable
- Uniform hopper emptying which maintains a stable center of gravity
This precision-oriented method maintains consistent delivery of material to the spreader disc.
Width of spread and quantity of material are controlled by an electronic-over-hydraulic system which also has manual overrides.
Operators can easily monitor and change width and quantity settings in-cab with the EpoMaster remote control system.
