Turbocast 400™ is a high-performance manual gritting machine capable of broadcast spreading dry, damp or wet grit/salt economically and quickly over large areas.
The machine comprises of a robust double-skinned Durapol® material Chassis and a double-skinned Durapol material Hopper that offers excellent corrosion resistance and a long service life.
The detachable hopper allows access to the agitation and spinner mechanism for ease of maintenance.
As steelwork is kept to a minimum, the machine is light, well balanced and easy to manoeuvre when empty and at full 50L capacity of 50kg with Icemelt or 63kg with brown rock salt.
The machine provides six spread settings to enable optimal grit distribution with a range of gritting materials including wet brown rock salt and dry white salt products such as Glasdon Icemelt. The machine can spread at a range of recommended dosages including precautionary spread for frost (10gms/m2), intermediate spread for snow (20gms/m2), and priority spread for ice (40gms/m2) at a spread width of 3-7m. The spread can be shut off to enable transit between gritting sites without wasting grit along the way.
