New Equipment For Soil Stabilization Projects: Stoltz Site Spreader

The Site Spreader, a new line of cement, lime, or flyash spreaders for the soil stabilization industry, is introduced by Stoltz, a division of Stoltzfus Spreaders in Morgantown, PA. Modified from designs for agricultural lime spreaders, the new Site Spreader allows precise application of large volumes of cementitious materials on the soil surface at construction and road building sites. These soil binding materials are then tilled into and mixed with native soil to create a stable soil surface for construction purposes. The Site Spreader works as part of a fleet of equipment for the soil stabilization process.

Site Spreaders apply large volumes of dry bulk material without dust, and can be filled as fast as the tanker truck can unload to help enhance productivity. Stoltz Site Spreaders are used in highway construction, site development and asphalt recycling projects. Specific applications include construction of street beds in residential and commercial developments, and general soil stabilization for residential developments and shopping malls.

Site Spreaders can apply hydrated lime, quicklime, flyash, Portland cement, bentonite and lime kiln dust in rates as high as 120 lb/sq. yd in an 8, 10 or 12 foot wide level swath.

Truck-mounted Site Spreaders are custom designed to fit the customers truck chassis, and hold one standard tanker load of bulk material. Pull-type Site Spreaders hold half of a tanker load. Computer controlled hydraulics provide consistent application rates.

Dust control is important in this type of equipment because of proximity to car traffic and workers at highway and construction sites. Site Spreaders are filled pneumatically from bulk material transport trucks. To minimize dust during loading, the exclusive double reverse flow air circulation removes most of the dust before it exits the hopper through 157 sq. ft. of filtering surface.

During spreading, dust is controlled by surrounding the spreading auger with heavy-duty dust curtains. Absolute dust control may be achieved by mounting available low-flow spray bars along the auger.

To insure safety while loading, the hopper is protected by a high capacity, low pressure relief valve. Access to the interior is through removable side or top panels.

To provide level filling of virtually any type of dry material, the patent pending fill pipe has an adjustable throttling collar that allows both dusty and course materials to be loaded evenly in the hopper.

Available digital scale systems monitor filling and spreading. All truck-mounted systems are upgradeable to full GPS for mapping applied rates or for variable rate application.
