Are you looking to efficiently distribute dust for soil stabilization? Our current method using pneumatic trucks with a spreader bar on the trailer is time-consuming. We were advised that using our own spreader truck would be quicker, but buying one used or building one from scratch isn't a cost-effective option. We are exploring the possibility of blowing dust directly into our Wirtgen Wr200 mixing drum. Can anyone share their experience with this process? Additionally, are there any spreader trucks available for purchase?
In my experience, cement is typically spread on the ground before being poured into the mixer, rather than being blown directly in. This method ensures more consistency in the concrete mix. Despite not having planned it myself, I have only ever worked with concrete in this way.
The Wirtgen WR250 offers an attachment for dust spreading, ideal for small projects. Though information is scarce, it is believed to spread dust in front of the mixing chamber. While unsure if blowing it into the chamber would be effective, modifications are common in the industry. Share your thoughts and opinions on this modification.
I have a strong understanding of using Google to find what I need, but I couldn't locate any pre-owned trucks for sale. It seems like the spreader is a major expense, however, as a backup option, Stoltz offers trailed spreaders that are compatible with agricultural tractors for pulling.
Are you considering using a traditional snowplow with a salt spreader attachment? Companies like Force America and Dickey John produce advanced, programmable spreaders that can be precisely calibrated. These spreaders operate using speed sensors, ensuring consistent output even when the truck slows down.
After reaching out to Stotlz via email for a truck bed, I found that the cost of close to 100k was not feasible for us, considering we would also need to purchase a truck to put it on. In situations where we are working within limited space, such as a 150' x 150' area surrounded by construction fence on three sides, a pull type spreader would not be suitable. A potential solution could be utilizing a dry fertilizer spreader with a customized top. Additionally, I consulted with an engineer from a company specializing in bulk solid measuring instruments, although their products are not designed for portability. Precision in our measurements may not be necessary for our particular needs.
Answer: Some methods include using pneumatic trucks with a spreader bar on the trailer or blowing dust directly into a mixing drum like the Wirtgen Wr200.
Answer: Using a spreader truck can be quicker compared to other methods, but the cost-effectiveness of buying a new one or building from scratch may be a concern.
Answer: Some alternatives to buying a new spreader truck include exploring the option of purchasing a used one or looking into other cost-effective distribution methods.
Answer: It would be beneficial to hear from individuals who have experience with blowing dust directly into a mixing drum like the Wirtgen Wr200 for soil stabilization processes.
