Trailer-unit spreader for soil stabilization

Trailer-unit spreader for soil stabilization
The Stoltz Site Spreader SS 2518 fills out the Stoltz line of cement, lime, or fly Trailer-unit ash spreaders for the soil stabilization industry. The new patent pending Site Spreader 2518 is a trailer unit with a 25-ton capacity and a self-contained engine-hydraulic package with a computerized rate controller.

The SS 2518 combines the hopper capacity of a truck-mounted spreader with the maneuverability of a trailer unit. Plus it can be pulled by anything with a hitch.

Building on years of experience, the Stoltz SS 2518 combines a simplified control system, a high flow relief vent and a break-away spreading auger, making this spreader one of the easiest to operate and hardest to break.

Model SS 2518 uses the 30-inch wide drag chain from the original high-volume truck models but the engine package allows the Site Spreader to be pulled by a dozer instead of running off a tractor’s PTO.

The SS 2518 has 710/50-30.5 tires for superb flotation. And, the radar-controlled application rate controller insures a uniform rate per square yard regardless of ground speed.

Site Spreaders are filled pneumatically from bulk material transport trucks. To minimize dust entering the filter, the exclusive “double reverse expanded flow” air circulation drops most of the dust before it exits the hopper through 157 square feet of filtering surface.

The SS 2518 will accept and spread portland cement, quicklime, flyash blends, kiln dust, bentonite, and any other dry bulk material.

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.
