The flexible plastic hopper is easily removed from the machine for cleaning without the use of tools. The plastic contains an ultraviolet inhibitor to counteract embrittlement caused by sunlight - essential to provide a long service life. The hopper profile is designed to deliver good flow characteristics.
Stainless Steel Sieve

Stainless Steel Spreading System
Stainless steel is used extensively in the shutter and rotor to reduce corrosion.
Rotor Gearbox
The spreading rotor is driven through an enclosed bevel gearbox.
Simple Rate Adjustment
A single screw adjuster is used to set the rate.
Powder Coated Frame
The frame is shot blasted and powder coated to provide the best protection against fertiliser.
